Here is my question, and this pertains to anyone who has run multiple teams because I don't understand it... Why would anyone want to leave your team?

I know from my own experience that I have wasted more than enough hours assembling my team. I've sat through drafts, read prospect reports, spent hours with other GMs discussing trades, etc. My Reds are my team, for better or worse ( currently worse). Why would you want to leave all of that behind to take someone else's sloppy seconds?

The Dodgers were never Howe's team, they were MJ's, he built that team. Other's have taken over rebuilds - Jake, Corey, etc. - and have put their stamp on the team.

I just don't get it. The draw of this league is to build a franchise, your own franchise. Full of your touts, scrubs, stars, Gordon Beckham's etc.

Why did Theo leave Boston for Chicago?  Because everyone values things differently.  Do I like the Padres sure.  But it doesn't mean my goal is to stay with them throught my time in FGM.  That's why transfers were set up, because people do like doing this.

Furhtermore, Dan, your favorite team is the Reds no?  Makes it easy to want to stay there doesn't it?  But I don't love the Padres, and I don't even like the MLB team.  I have different values than you I suppose.

Well said Dan. I like your logic!

I like the idea of the RC making decisions on filling any opening.  The RC is designed to have a GM from every division to eliminate competitive bias.

At the end of the day, I am merely providing an opinion and it essentially gave more bias to BHows since he was screwed the last time the Dodgers were open, so this is his second application for the team, and then bias given to joeshmoe due to tenure.  I think I have been fair in my opinion, but once again it is not my decision.  I feel Roy is making excellent decisions thus far in handling the interpretation and intention of rulings.

Debates like this make me love this league for how well we have built it.  The RC is the best solution.

Doesn't transfer by RC mean that a small minority could dictate that you could never leave an organization and transfer?  Doesn't that make all transfers popularity contests?  Am I the only one who sees this as dangerous?  Why is it my transfer that needs a vote by RC but never for anyone prior to?  Voting should be the last measure to appoint the position.

And colby you say my position is based upon tenure?  How about we talk about when I was robbed from NYY?  When do I get righted as well?

The RC votes on logic, realism, and what is best for the fantasy league - not popularity.

I am dreading the first losing season for the FGM Pirates since 2010.  I am looking forward to 2015.

The RC should vote on those things....I distrust any voting minority who dictates on an subjective, unclear scale.

Ahem... Mets fan. Just wanted to clarify. But the FGM Reds are the team that I made. Every one on that team is someone I either traded for, signed, or drafted. Preference to a real life uniform is of no consideration when it comes to my FGM team. I've made good and bad moves in my tenure. I've had both a good and bad team at the same time. But it's my team.

  • indiansnation: Giants To Sign Blake Snell March 18th, 2024 at 8:45pm CST • By Anthony Franco 8:45pm: Snell receives a $15MM salary for the upcoming season and has a $17MM signing bonus that will not be paid until 2026, reports Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle (on X). That indicates he’ll be deciding on whether to opt out of a $30MM salary next winter, although the delayed date on the payment of the bonus reduces the team’s short-term commitment.  8:23pm: Blake Snell is in agreement with the Giants on a two-year, $62MM contract that allows him to opt out after the upcoming season, reports Jon Heyman of the New York Post (X link). San Francisco adds the defending NL Cy Young winner to the top of a staff that also includes last year’s runner-up, Logan Webb.  ADVERTISEMENT
