Knowing one of the guys I'm in a league with is a HUGE Braves fan...I picked up Peter Moylan last week as soon as I heard Soriano was on the DL. I worked out a trade of Soriano for Jeff Francis with the guy. People in the league were bitching left and right about how thats a terrible trade. I can't argue with them!
The trade is set to go through at midnight tonight if more than half the league doesn't veto it. So far they're 2 votes away.
Now I find out Moylan is going on the DL for a while. I am kinda starting to feel guilty. Keeping in mind, we are playing for a good amount of money. I'm in 2nd place, he's in 5th if that matters.
What would you do? |

In general, my motto has always been that you can't police stupidity.
You police collusion.
You police "dumping" - i.e. someone sending a boatload of stars to a contender solely for prospects or picks.
But someone who is a fan of a particular team, that's usually someone I seek to trade with and use it against them.

I should say I worked out a trade of MOYLAN (not Soriano) for Francis

If this huge Braves fan isn't complaining, then I wouldn't worry about it.
