Example of the trade i proposed that got reject: There are numerous other rejects like this one

Hey jp96stang,
This trade has been rejected in ESPN Horse Board I (51450).

JPSLUGGERS Un-named team
A. Rod. A. Pujols
B. Inge
K. Mench
D. Willis
B. Webb
C. Park

If this trade couldn't be made, then no trade will ever be made in that league. Like i said there are many other offers this uneven that have been rejected. What a joke!!

You expect that kind of trade to be accepted? 6 for 1??? If you made me that offer, I'd reject it also, what am I suppose to do to create 5 slots?? I'm always open to fair trades that benefit both teams, but I have no desire to be a human garbage pail! Anybody who thinks the way to win a decent fantasy league is to con other managers into making one way trades gets no sympathy from me...you win these leagues by picking up the right free agents and playing the game day to day!

Don't give me that s hit!!!!!!!! Every single one of those players would improve his team either in the starting line up or off the bench!!!!!! I'm making his team better in numerous different positons for one player. so go look at the stats of the players involved before spout off about this 6 to 1 BS!! LOOK AT THE PLAYERS INVOLED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I did look...the only one of those players I'd keep would be Webb! Again, their stats are no better than most of the first page of free agents...my biggest problem is getting rid of players to make room, I'd never dump 5 of my players! If you want to make trades, you have to offer fairly even numbers...1:1, 2:2, 2:1...

Inge....221 BA, 15/41
Mench...284 BA, 11/41
Willis...4-6, 4.19, 1.41
Park...5-3, 4.15, 1.27

I can find players with better numbers in free agency, Mench could help some folks otherwise...

Just guessing here because I don't follow most of the guys I don't have on my team, but isn't Willis getting hot right now?

Offer made.

I understand your point, but i still disagree. the team that i proposed this to could have used those players and improved in numerous catagories. My rant is over. lol Maybe someone will deal now.

Every one remember that there are counter offers. Don't just reject and move on. Where is Monty Hall when you need him?

Offer accepted...Lidge is finally coming around but I still like it! I can use Matthews in CF. I'll leave it up until after midnight in case anyone wants to complain but otherwise I'll put it through before morning!
