Trade: COL/LAD

[Canada8999]

It seems like everyone comes in and says they want to learn all the rules and get a feel for things before making any moves, and then a day or two later they're making a huge splash in the trade market - I absolutely think we need the two week rule in place and enforced.

Guys, there is no rush - learn the rules, form a plan, maybe even discuss the plan with the people you know/trust in the league to see what you might be missing, ask lots of questions if you're unclear on things, browse the transaction board for the types of trades made in the past ... most importantly, take your time.  This is a league where you build a team over the course of several seasons, not your first week on the job.

Tulo: 1294pts


Castro: 608pts
Hart: 556 pts
Marcum: 714 pts
Total: 1878 pts

Pedoria: 1274 points
Greinke: 481 pts
Let's add 4 more starts: 481 / 7 * 11 = 755


Every player is a 2012 player.
Explain to me how these two deals are similar in anyway.

mainly he doesnt have the cap room to resign all the guys plus bruce! not gonna lie bud u pointed out all kinds of Crap on my trade but its completly ok with u the guy who left the rockies gets a top 5 MI for not a lot. interesting

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. 

Not only a top 3 MI but 5m for 2014.  Ive said my peace, let a member learn the league before we take advantage.

Totally agree. When I joined I couldnt make a move for 2 weeks. Then i had about 10 days until the trade deadline. But in those two weeks I probably asked Jake and Colby 3 times a day something about the rules to fully understand the concept of the league. We need to actually implement the rules.

i agree there should be a 2 week rule. i dont really remeber getting rid of it because when i joined i went through the 2 week rule and it helped

2 weeks rule is still a rule and we should actually follow it
see under league settings and requirements it says
New GMs will go through a two week probationary period in which they are not allowed to make moves.  If they prove that they are active enough and understand the rules thoroughly then they will officially be given the job.

I am ok with the trade veoted because of the 2 weeks rule. But to veto this deal because it's comparable in anyway to the Greinke/Pedroia deal is an insult. I appreciate Ben's impartial judgement in these posts. I wish some of the others could do the same.

not to mention it saves him money to resign bruce...this deal adds salary to his payroll next year, making it less likely to resign a guy like bruce
