[h4cheng]

MI Tulowitzki, Troy, $5m (2014)
RP Adam, Jason, $0.5m (P-n/a)
CI Cuthbert, Cheslor, $0.5m (P-n/a),
SP Burnett, A.J., $16.5m (2013)

for

MI Castro, Starlin, $5m (2012)
OF Hart, Corey, $2m (2012)
SP Marcum, Shaun, $4.5m (2012)


COL to confirm.

This deal will probably be scrutized as well. Here is what COL is getting:
-  20M contract in AJ Burnett off his hand, freeing money to re-sign Bruce and Bucholz
- Castro is a MI with a very good potential. He also has a very nice contract in that he can extended for 4 more years at 5.5M per year
- Hart is very useful (albeit volatile) OF
- Marcum is a top 30 Sp signed through next year at a reasonable rate.

I do confirm this trade. I thought this trade through quite a bit and it's the best offer I have seen in ANY league I am in so far. Tulo is a tough bat to give up, however dumping Burnett and me not having to pay any of his contract is a boon to my cap situation. I am a fan of Castro and while he will never approach Tulo's status, he is only 22 years old and will be a solid MI for a long time. Hart is another solid bat I can add to my lineup. Marcum has really broken out this year in a new league on a contending team plus he is only 27 years old.

I do want this trade to go thru please.

Just realized COL will be over the cap with this deal. I agree to cover an additional 2M off Hart's contract for this year.

You're jumping the gun here as no one from the TC has commented yet one way or another, and Howe mentioned in the opening post that he expects some scrutiny.  I realize you're a bit frustrated, but you need to take a step back and undertand that the TC is composed of veteran league members who volunteer for the benefit of our league - they are not out to get you...

reid you might want to check your numbers first. If you dropped burnett after the deadline this year you would be responible for very little of burnetts deal if anything at all since 6 mil is being covered by the yanks next year, and he is paid for this year. Look at the rules under contracts.

the problem as i have stated is dealslike mine have went through and all the sudden mine cant.
u have no clue how irritated i am right now sorry just need to vent i guess just ignore me

This will be a good one. I see it as little worse than the Phils Sox deal that was put down. Should be fun to see the consistency.

Dan- I just explained to Reid about that. Thats something that he was not aware of when this deal was made. Hence the 2 week rule should be used just to allow new members time to grasp all the rules in the league. There are a lot of rules so give them time to learn before we try and take advantage of the new members.

I'm not really sure about this deal.  Tulo is a top 3 MI.  I think more value needs to go back for Tulo.  I think my Reyes deal that was vetoed was closer. 

[bravesfan4]

I find it appalling that a team would offer a new member this deal.

Hart 12m to resign
Marcum 9.5
Castro 5

26.5 to resign for a team with a smaller sized cap. But in return the team takes Tulo top mi and top 3 contract in league (Tulo, Braun and Longoria) and snag a few under the radar specs. Takes burnett who is cheap to drop.

The more I look at this the more it bothers me.

Two week rule anyone?
