The Chicago White Sox offer Kirk Rinfret 1B-19 (63++++) Drew Wadecki RP-20 (86+) Clarence Capitanio SP-20 (61+++) to the Baltimore Bullets for Steve Madyay RP-20 (82++) Gary O'Neil RP-18 (67+++) June 20

QUOTE (juddling @ Jan 9, 2013 -> 03:19 PM) I'm starting to question the validity of any simulation that has Erik F'n Bedard at 12 and 5 with a sub-3 ERA..........lol His ERA in 2009 was 2.82 though. So they actually had it about right.

STRAIGHT HEAT!

As far as I can tell, that's just the general message when you aren't offering them enough value. They also reiterate their team needs, regardless of what's in the trade currently. The better message is "I like this offer, but it gives me a bit too much talent at one position". Especially when it's a one for one trade of two players at the same position. Seems like that message just means that one of the players in the trade is someone the CPU just flat out won't accept. Message from Joe: Note that the trade deadline is after tonight's sim. He says he's looking for a SP and a guy who's last name rhymes with "Yotsay".

So Joe managed to get himself banned. I guess keep posting here and we'll figure it out.

What hidden ratings could possibly jack his overall so much? QUOTE (Soxfest @ Dec 19, 2012 -> 10:25 PM) The Baltimore Pickled Horse Dicks offer Chase D'Arnaud SS-22 (54++) Bobby Livingston SP-26 (71+) Gio Gonzalez SP-23 (72++) Zach Britton SP-21 (70+) to the New York Yankees for Mark Teixeira 1B-28 (87) Clayton Kershaw SP-21 (81+) Here we go Pickled Horse Dicks, Here we go!!!

What overall rating does everyone see for John Bowker of the Giants? Because I'm baffled.

QUOTE (GoGoSox2k2 @ Dec 18, 2012 -> 02:25 PM) JoeCoolman. i know we are off and running in the league. But I think it is going to be tough finding teams to fill it out with trades already taking place and such. I know we do not want to start it over now. But for competitive league balance I think we would have been better off at least waiting until we had the whole league filled. There are a lot of boards we could go and promote the league on and if it is a new league starting from scratch I think we would have a great chance to fill it out MUCH quicker than promoting it now with several trades (and teams plucked of their top prospects bc of our trades with computer. Just a thought. I bet if we went around to other boards starting as a NEW league and start over, we would be able to find 20 guys within a couple days. This.
