Mike, Sorry I didn't respond to your trade offer. I've been buried at work. Saw the email, but not the offer in Yahoo. Send again and I'll check in the morning.

Uh oh. With all the offers that have been flying, I've got to remember what it was. I'll take a look bro.........I'm tired of waiting for Farn to return from Burma anyway.......Lol
Mike D, if given the choice which title would you rather have:
1. Manager to make most trades or 2. Manager to win the division

That's a no brainer. And I'm still rattled by one Mr. Fluid winning the TM category in Hoops! Always next year......
Things are constantly changing in the sportsworld. Sometimes we get forced to make roster moves because of it. Other times it is just fun to put our psychic abilities to the test and make deals based on what we expect.
In all cases, the back and forth interaction and thought processes are more a way to "play" the game than simply sitting back and doing nothing. There is always a way to improve your team. Always a deal that can be made.
Thanks for your time, and glad you made it home safely. ;)

I just looked at your team.....I can't see a whole lot of opportunity at this point..... ;(
Percival is on the market for steals and/or solid hitter(s).

Mike D, I got your offer. I am likely to turn it down since Durham has been useless over the past month at the plate but give me a bit to see if i can come up with a counter.

Past month? Wow, not from what I'm looking at bro. Sure, talk bad about my squad......that's just the motivation they need. You have unleashed the beast!

Well, I need somebody who's BA is better than Uribe. Durham is hitting .220 over the past month. Yes, that's better than Uribe's .145 but that doesn't exactly help me.
Anybody need ? He's back from the DL and needs a fresh start on somebody's squad.

True, but he's 22 out of 100. Only 8 more hits and he'd be at .300, and you'd be drooling (more than usual, anyway, lol). Plus he has scored 22 runs in that time frame along with 6 homers, 17 rbis, and 2 steals........gotta look at the total package, the big picture, and the trades made category, not necessarily in that order.

hahaha
Is it sad that I still want to make the trade so I can have another one under my belt? Trading with you doesn't help though. If I want the title we have to keep you from trading and make trades amongst ourselves.

Underhanded schemers! But that's why I always have multiple offers out.......because I don't want to count my trades before they hatch......or something like that.

got your offer wiggs. Mulling it over. My concern is 3 fold:
1. I have been hearing that Sheff is still in pain and is trying to put off season ending surgery on his shoulder. 2. Will Washburn come back to earth? 3. Will Vazquez pitch like the old Vazquez or will he continue to look like Derek Lowe (who has killed my staff all season)?
Give me a little bit to mull some more.

Another thing that has me on my heels is that my team has been climbing the standings and I have made just one trade, which so far hasn't done much for me. Chipper had been hot and now is back to hitting like crap.
Btw, left a message in the vestal league.

I'm amazed how long some people think about these things. And I mean absolutely no slight to you Farn and actually appreciate the update. But it's incredible how everyone is different with this stuff..........same way in business, in life, and.....is it time to go home yet?
Burrell with the kack. ;)

I'm in the mood to deal some more. Beckett is about to come off the DL and pitch tonight. Any takers? Marte is also available for those of you who need WHIP and ERA help.

wiggs, i declined your offer. I was right on Washburn. He came back to earth and landed on the DL.
Mike D, I am still holding your offer. I have sent an offer to Ender including Lee so I have to backburner yours for a few.
128
Ender
ID: 442215 Sat, Jul 31, 2004, 00:05
Farn, offer received. I'm considering it and will probably counter sometime tomorrow.
Ender: Is your GMD team still active? Justaking because you have a lot of trades and seem to be free falling in points/cash.

Yes, I rotated through several pitchers this week to little avail :(
I have no excuse other than I stink this year.

Farn, had to pull my dusty (Rhodes?) offer because of the overlap with the deal made with goatlocker. Nice to see Dave R and wiggs get into the Trade Game. Only 3 GMs with no trades, though I can't see that lasting very long......gotta love active leagues. Kudos to all.

Mike: I have an offer out trying to move Percival. if I don't hear back from Redbird soon, I'll consider your deal.
PS Percival should be dealt today according to E(rfS)PN. All interested teams should get their offer in ASAP. ;)

Hey, I just saw the offer. Sent some detailed comments back. I may let Boone unpack his bags and stay awhile, unless Farn gets to him first. Weird thing is I like several guys on your squad........need.....more....beer.......
