MLB 1977 Player Draft

[blstoker]

Wow, I really expected to have my pick passed by the time I got back.

Also, My plan for the most dominate team was perfect, for 6 rounds. That said, screw everyone who's taking all my players....

 

[blstoker]

I'm going to open this one up to the rest of the guys...

This trade makes no sense to me so I want others input.

Doobee is trading up 7 spaces into the 8th round and giving up a 10th and 11th and getting back 15th and 18th. Seems a lot to give up this late in the draft to move up 7 spots.

Trading 75, 98 & 103 for 83, 146 & 175

Trading up 7 spots with 1 pick and down 48 and 72 spots for the other two...

if it's what he wants, I don't usually take trade requests from Ritz, I think they're nuts, and he usually doesn't like my counter offers.

2 guys accepted the same trade offer so obviously at least 2 guys like. If both parties agreed on it then I don't understand what the problem is.

Hey, if they accept, I don't have a problem with it. (unless they traded round 1 for round 25 straight up).

Doobie is appropriately named taking that trade offer. Ritz fires these offers to everyone to see if he can get bites, he got one again. It is what it is....anyone of us could have made that offer to doobie (although most of us like the straight up type of competition)


I believe its a horrible trade but, if you allow trading, it comes with the territory. You can't have trading then want to control all the trading.


Starting to maybe understand that trading in these mock drafts isn't really worth having it, more pain in the ass than worth it.


Because of the rules in place, I believe it needs to be allowed.

I liked my trade with Ritz, this time.

Hockey, lets make a deal man. I know you want Perez in the middle of that order.....

 

[Nosferatu]

I didn't say there was a problem it's just a silly trade IMO. But

Doobee trades his 9th, 10th & 11th round picks to the Ritz for his 8th, 15th & 18th round picks.


APPROVED

UK check yer PM's...

 

[Ritzarmy]

I do send out mass PM's with the same trade to see if I get any nibbles. Both Doobie and Jeffro accepted it so I don't see the problem with it. I sent Nos a PM basically saying the same thing you wrote Bums that before next draft we either 1) Clearly state trade rules 2) No trades 3) Everyone can trade except Ritz. The only time a issue arises with trades is when I do it. Its the same trade in every draft. Someone moves up a few spots and gets my current pick and 2 later round picks, and I get their next 3 picks in a row. They basically get the player they desire now which is important since the great players are almost gone now in the 8th round and I get 3 decent players in a row. Do I feel I got the better of the deal yes but once again someone else liked the trade and accepted it. I feel if 2 guys accept the trade then it should be approved except for 2 reasons. 1) You suspect a guy is dumping his best players to his friend 2) Like Smitty said its sooooo badly of trade like RD1 for RD25. Just my thoughts. I disagreed with Nos posting his feelings how it was a horrible trade then asking for everyone's opinions. If you want a honest and unbiased opinion from everyone then exclude your personal feelings from the post and ask if this trade should be approved. I love you Nos and I got no hard feelings towards you.

So everyone can give their opinion but I can't?

 

[Nosferatu]

Yes, I told him i'd trade him my 8th round pick for his 1st and 2nd round picks in the next draft.

No, actually I axed him if we could work out a deal for me to get Carlton.

 

[Ritzarmy]

Not before asking the league what they want. You don't think it but you have influence. Not as much as say Hammer but you still have some. Dude it seriously is fine and I think this whole thing got over blown by me. I'm still cranky from the surgery and meds aren't working.

I declare that I will no longer send out any trade requests. A) It causes to much drama B) I seriously do better when I don't trade.

People can send me trades but I will not send out any.

Anyone can be had if the price is right

 

[Ritzarmy]

Guys on the Mock Draft Chat thread we are discussing what kind of draft we do in October. I know Mr. Hockey, and Doobie said they would do a Hockey draft.

You might want to go back and reread my response to your trade offer. I didnt accept your offer, I countered it.

"I will do your 8th, 12th and 14th for my 9th, 10th and 11th."

Lol I don't recall discussing this.

But goes without saying I'm obviously down to school some folks in some puck.
