Jon hasn't been around for a while, and Daniel hasn't been on as much as he normally is. Personally I think we need one more TC member, or replace a current one. Rick is the most consistent, and up until this week Daniel has been very good. I would like to nominate the A's GM, or Kris, since they are both on daily, and have a decent to great knowledge of all thing baseball. IMHO, during FA, having trades blocking up the board isn't good for the flow of things.

Oh, I was unaware of this.  What's the status on 'em Colb?  Are RC members actively voting on trades?  Sorry if I missed this somewhere.

Sounds good enough to me, then.  If both sides see the pieces as necessary, and they both find it fair, I have no objections to it.  If the TC requires a RC member to vote, then I will do so.

The pick was needed to get the deal done. I wanted Snider, and that was what I was willing to pay. I simply wrote that I had no interest in being in the draft meaning that the pick wasn't of great value to me. Therefore giving it up was no great shakes. In my eyes I didn't give up that much value. In Damon and Cahill yes, they are very useful players but Damon is old, and wasn't going to be re-signed next year. At 11.5 mil, Cordero is extremely over priced, given what closers went for during free agency. He also, at 35 is no spring chicken. I traded for what I consider an uber-prospect in Travis Snider. Who must be something of value since I was already asked for his services twice since this trade went down. And I couldn't give Cordero away, Damon never garnered much interest I am assuming since he was sitting on Jake's trade block for about a month. And Cahill I will miss.

as per draft pick
yes it was necessary when we started talking trade i was taking on a 11.5 mil contract and a pick was being offered  for someone to take it so we just worked other parts to deal around that

Going off of Ben's request, I'll put in my cents...

I see all of Dan's points as acceptable, except the draft pick.  While there's nothing in the rules on how each member values their players/picks (and there shouldn't be), it might upset GM's to see a trade where a pick is traded simply because the GM didn't want to be in the draft.  It makes it appear as if it was dumped off, with no real validity to it's value (any value) on the GM's part.

I'll wait to see if any of the other TC members chime in before us RC members use a vote, but maybe give a bit better explanation on the draft pick, Dan-o?  Was the pick necessary for the Tigers to accept?  If it wasn't, possibly seeing it removed might make the members a bit more comfortable in seeing this trade go through.  However, that won't change my opinion of the trade vote wise, as Rick nailed it on that we are really only employed to look for collusion and cheating, not valuing players/picks.

My two cents, gentlemen. :koolaid:

I don't believe that we need a TC if the only reason for rejecting a trade is collusion.  The commissioner could make that ruling himself.  If we want a TC with real "teeth" and acting in the best interests of the league itself, then we should amend the rules if the rules really declare that collusion is the only grounds for rejecting trades.  Trades in a dynasty league have long-term implications, so we should really take long look at this topic.

Sorry Dan but, in my opinion, this trade is way too one-sided.
But.....opinions are like a**holes, everybody's got one. And,since I'm not sure of the perimeters required in sanctioning a trade, I'll approve.

As an RC member I'll throw out what my interpretation of the rules are:
In general, if you think both teams are acting in the best interest of their teams (whether you agree with the balance of trade or not) considering either short term or long term implications (allowing each GM the freedom to set their goals), and you have no reason to suspect the involved GM's of collusion, then you're free to approve the trade (and should do so). 

In any cases where you may hesitate to approve (based on the above conditions), you should absolutely request the involved GM's offer some indications into why they agreed to the trade.  Upon reply, if you're able to interpret their arguments as genuine reasons for making the transaction then you should approve the deal (again, even if personally you do not agree on the valuation).

I invite other RC members and active GM's to add to this, as the TC is an extremely important committee and all league owners should be on the same page with respect to it's responsibilities and reach of power.
