Reject

Posted By Bob C

The first thing I would say Joey is that you are way out of line in attacking Mike in such a personal way. I don't always agree with Mike but I do think that he tries to be fair.

The second thing I would say is that you need to calm down. I know it is frustrating to get a trade rejected. I have been there as I suppose most of us have. Your are clearly upset but that is not helping your cause. I have read through your three posts several times and to be honest I am still not sure who you want to trade and who you want to acquire. Perhaps that is better since it prevents any bias in my judgment.

It would also help to know if this is TRAD or RT. I will presume TRAD. I will also presume that the Escobar in question is Kelvim not Alex. Having said that I would say that in my judgment the team that would be trading Escobar, Munro, and #3FA is giving up too much. I think a young arm like Escobar's is worth more than a utility guy even if hit batted over .300 last season. I disagree that Munro is a stiff. I think he is a late bloomer with a nice GB/FB ratio who will be a respectable middle reliever. While Quantrill has some nice numbers he is a bit older and so therefore not as much of an improvement over Munro as it may appear at first glance. Finally a #3 FA is obviously better than a #5FA. I don't thnk this is a terrible trade but I do think that the side trading Mora & Quantrill is getting the better of the deal. I don't know if I have helped your case or hurt your case. For what it is worth I am a PB founder and and have been playing this game with a good degree of success since the old CSN days.
