You shouldn't, he has to understand the risk that goes into making a two part trade. If you really feel that bad you can try and trade back the other pieces.

Ok friends, I'm enlisting your consulting services. Draft prospects in Gleeman 2 were just released, and I have the 1st overall pick. These are the top choices as my scouting (14/14, drat 1st season limits) sees them, in no particular order: Album link My thoughts:
So.

I think I'd go Kennedy.

Manship has the best current ratings by a bit and he's a HSer. I'd pop him.

If you're fine with Kennedy at first, take him i think. Manship's great but his skillset's a little weird, like you said he's gonna be the best reliever in the league but is that worth more than Kennedy? Doubt it,

Kennedy's projection looks pretty ambitious to me on everything but power for whatever that's worth. At only $14m I'm trusting current ratings relative to age as much or more than the projections.

I'd be a little concerned with Manship's health/makeup.

Not everyone can have leo egan.

Well, I could live with it too if I were sure the guy was worth the #1 pick. My main point is that, deciding between Manship and Kennedy, I'd view Manship's health/makeup as a knock against him.

wukkar posted:I am extremely new at WiS (20 games into my first season ), but what makes you say this? I typically think of projections for draftees within 30 points of the current control/velocity/splits as reachable (and typically they plateau at less). Even if a guy develops a bit fast, there's no chance he gains 45 points.

Mordecai is killing me this year 3rd best record in the division, 4th in the league, 5 in all of the world 21 games over and sitting in WC2/3rd spot in the division.

That's about how my Ruth team was last season. Fortunately (for me anyway) we've got Beepers in our division now to help me out.

I think I'm spoiled by how easy it is to get a trade done in Dimaggio. The response to me saying that Richie Crosby is not the kind of bat I'm looking for in exchange for Pete Barnes should not be to add another bad bat. e: Also people just shooting me random trade offers with no context drives me nuts. Use trade chat fuckers

Devo posted:e: Also people just shooting me random trade offers with no context drives me nuts. Use trade chat fuckers I don't mind that. Use it as an avenue to open up dialogue. If they didn't send you an offer, and they're not using TC in the first place, you'd probably never know they were interested in someone.

# ? Nov 2, 2011 19:14 |

Well the problem is that they never respond back or change their offer after I send them a TC and reject their first offer. Also none of them seem to know what "I want a guy with 80+ power" means.

Ivan Drago posted:I have that problem with fast guys. I want good speed+base running because one without the other doesn't do me much good. They both need to be high. That doesn't keep people from trying to convince me that I should trade for their guy with 95 speed and 32 base running (typically with horrible splits and contact as well). Davey Alvarez has about 60 baserunning, and he manages to steal at least 40 a season with his 99 speed. He barely ever gets caught. What i'm trying to say is, please trade for Davey Alvarez, he'd probably be better on your team anyway!

All I have to say is that I'm really glad I'm not in the same league as Drago but I am still morbidly curious to what his team would do to Kiki.

One of these days my Hometown lineup will start hitting. And it will be glorious (and I'll still lose because my pitching blows but at least games will be interesting).

I think I placed myself into a meat grinder of a division. Washington appears to have a real solid team and Pawtucket is no slouch. Hopefully my boys can fight it out.

My doubles OL team is garbage but I'm going to have to start using more '93 Olerud, he's hitting .409/.471/.552 playing his home games at a -1 hits park, Polo Grounds V. (94 games into the season) At home? .433/.505/.572
