Any interest in providing draft pick compensation for losing valuable free agents, so we can more closely simulate the MLB CBA's qualifying offer" policy? Something like an extension value ranking above a certain percentile... (the team that loses the FA has to pay half of extension value for 1 year)

Haseloff- I really do appreciate the concern, but after reviewing the scoring system in this league, even I recognize this to be an unbalanced deal. I'll see about reworking the terms, but it's safe to say this deal is dead for now. Appreciate the concern though.

Seems fair to me.

Carl Crawford I'm not just doing this for the heck of it, Dodgers owner has told me he will claim Crawford.

Having examined the scoring system, I agree that a revamp of it might be nice, and I would be in favor of removing defense entirely, due to the weight it places on particular positions. However, I can't understand the idea of giving two points for a homer, but losing 10 for a blown save. With the proposed scoring system, pitchers are valued almost too heavily, however, the metrics used are good at giving more value to depth than talent.

I appreciate the concern, Pittsburgh, so thank you, and I'll gage the reaction of the league over the next few days to see if it's as bad as some seem to think. Yahoolando- would I be allowed to cancel a pending transaction?

Simmons is a a elite as it gets? With a .248 average/ .292 OBP? I don't know exactly how the point system works in this league, but it seems to me like he's be about average at his position, even with his fluke HRs. And where else are you going to find a cheap, cost-effective 1B like Alonso controlled for as long as he is with his production? Weeks is a solid candidate for a bounce back, and as I've said, I'm comfortable in taking on huge contracts that don't extend more than two years. Fernandez plays for the Marlins, so he can't really rack up the fantasy points like Chapman can on a contender.
If you think this is a bad deal, the Reds offered me Alonso for Fernandez straight up last week. That's a bad deal.
If y'all want to veto this trade, go ahead, I wouldn't resent that because dealing those 3 is very risky and I wouldn't mind having them back. However, I do feel like I know what I'm doing.

I think the trade passes... It's been pending since the 3rd.

Red Sox approve this trade, Chapman and Alonso fill my two most barren positions for the next two years, and Weeks, despite his contract, is a potential asset in the middle infield. I was more than happy to accept the 3 specs as compensation for taking on Weeks. Losing Fernandez and Doubront certainly hurts my rotation, but I can fill out my rotation easier on the FA market then I can fill out my 1B/CL with a minuscule FA market at those positions. I would also ask the Pirates how they plan to "save me from myself."
