Trade: COL/LAD

[28]

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.

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.

and myself i have asked corey a lot of questions and he has been great about explaining.

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

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.

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.

I find it appalling that a team would offer a new member this deal.

Hart 12m to resign
Marcum 9.5
Castro 5

26.5 to resign for a team with a smaller sized cap. But in return the team takes Tulo top mi and top 3 contract in league (Tulo, Braun and Longoria) and snag a few under the radar specs. Takes burnett who is cheap to drop.

The more I look at this the more it bothers me.

Two week rule anyone?

This will be a good one. I see it as little worse than the Phils Sox deal that was put down. Should be fun to see the consistency.

Dan- I just explained to Reid about that. Thats something that he was not aware of when this deal was made. Hence the 2 week rule should be used just to allow new members time to grasp all the rules in the league. There are a lot of rules so give them time to learn before we try and take advantage of the new members.
