You guys are being really blind here...

You have to look at it this way. Mike is supporting you league which has what, 19 or 23 other team managers correct? He has to watch for trades that are unbalances in order to maintain the integrity of the game.

If he notices and imbalance, and even you yourself admit there is an imbalance, then he has to question it because no doubt everyone in your league will see an imbalance. How many times have I read here from owners upset about other people in pennant races gaining lots of good players for next to nothing? Mike is a check against that.

It's a case of he's damned if he does, and damned if he doesn't.

If he lets an unbalanced trade go through because two owners agreed - then he catches it from 18 or 22 other managers upset with the trade. If he doesn't let it go through, he get people and posts like this claiming he is biased and meddling.

Man, just be glad he is showing an interest in the trades and is providing a check against unbalanced trades. Everyone knows he has that power - so next time you make an unbalanced trade, why not send a note to Mike explaining ahead of time?

I don't see an issue here.
