BoSox Dave...that wasn't meant to be taken as a bull sheet trade proposal. It was as almost identical trade based on points. You just made an argument for the recent trade you made with EYD.
Sorry if I offended you. That's what counter offers are for.
When I saw the trade I knew that this is what you were going to argue. Do some research about my earlier trade.
As of today (which is effectively when the trade matters) the players I traded to EYD have a combined 203 points. I received a combined 128 points in return with over 50 of those points coming from a player batting .152 on the season and struggling with injuries. Meaning that I pretty much traded 200 points for 70. You offered me a player who is having a hot start with 131 points for the fifth rated pitcher with 136 points. The angst that the trade caused on this thread is almost laughable.
As for countering, there was simply nothing worth countering. Ask around, I almost always work with counter offers when there is something to be had.
I paid for that trade with players who are quality FBB players on a regular basis - this year included - for a guy struggling a bit early but who is a top player when going well.
I am not offended by the trade offer, just irritated by the hyperbole that you are throwing out on this thread.
