chn-phi (get ready for a laugher...)

I just don't see how Beltran and Jimenez for a pitching spec similar to Jimenez is fair regardless of the rules...is he banking on that 1.0 spec boosting 10 times?

[Kingdom]

Beltran isn't that good, I don't see him as a big deal (apparently DMB once did, and gave him a big deal, hyuk!). I just don't like that they have to go so far ..out of the norm.. just to completely a rather simple deal.

It's hilarious really.

[nick]

I'm infuriated by the whole situation right now and want to shoot dmb for being an idiot


cj sent me this now:

Nick,

I understand you don't want us doing the PTBNL to be a pick.

Now my question is can we split the deal into 2 with 1 part now and the 2nd part in June

Let me be honest with you, the strength in this draft thats left is C/DH, I don't have that need right now but want to draft the best player available

Can we trade Beltran now for 2 specs

Then in June can i trade the pick for a package of specs that fit my needs (SP, MR) for the future?

Let me know where you stand

my reply:

Do you two think I'm ****ing retarded? You can do the Beltran deal, then you can trade the pick to a team other than the Cubs. DMB lost his pick, he can deal with it. He is not getting a first round pick back. Christ almighty, maybe he should pay better attention next time...

[nick]

They can just ****in do the deal without jipping the system. It's irritating to me and my intelligence that they're trying to find loopholes...

[browntown653]

Suspend them!

[Providence A's]

welcome to my world bro...

and Ziti, I know Beltran's not that great...but he's good enough to lose a pick for so essentially DMB wants to trade a pick and Jimenez for a similar pitching spec. I just don't get it and these types of blatant rule bending deals followed by PMs with a sense of entitlement are all unnecessary. Just follow the simple rules...you make a mistake, then you live with it. It's game...a G A M E

[Kingdom]

This is why I don't like signing on AIM.

[Providence A's]

I can't remember the last time I used AIM...let me guess, they're "pleading their case" to you Zito? lol

[Kingdom]

I'm flattered that they think I have some kinda pull. But it's annoying. GF hasn't IMed me yet to randomly ***** yet. Waiting.. waiting..

[nick]

****ing ****, dmb is still rambling about why i should pass and now he's quitting? My god in heaven, I hate sim baseball

[nick]

Yeah, he probably is gonna quit, wouldn't be surprised if cj does too over this.... I dont really care, but it's going to set back the start of the season until I find good GMs.

I've laid it out for them a hundred times already.... I don't like any deal where DMB is erasing the Beltran contract and recieving "draft rights" or whatever. That's essentially going back before FA, and before he ****ed up. It's erasing an entire occurance and defeating the purpose of comp. He needs to man up and realize he snuffed it.

In addition to that, it's such a complicated deal with the waiting till June, half of the deal now, half later, etc. Just do a deal with players you have now and be happy I'm letting you deal Beltran, jesus.

They can send any trade in and I simply won't vote. Because another thing dmb doesn't understand is that IT WOULD HAVE FAILED ANYWAY...

[Providence A's]

see, it's not just me...

[nick]

honestly, im about to just let them do it.... but it just sets a standard, and i dont want people to think they can get away with that shit...

[NYgiantsfan5689]

IMHO, they're basically trading picks, just changing the wording of it. if they know trading picks is not allowed, which they do, it shouldn't be allowed. sets a bad precedent that this league's rules can be circumvented. not good.

i'm gonna fail if we're still allowed to vote on it.
