Over and over again.cwillis802 has been making trades that involve 200k scrubs for AAA players. He will try and trade over and over again. He trades his good AAA player away in one league then another player gets a AAA player back in another league. Admin is aware but refuses to do anything about it.
Any suggestions?
I know the veto is in play and he gets a veto several times but everyone doesn't check the teams enough to catch them all.

While acquiring AAA players for 200k players can be exploitative trading (particularly if the 200k-reciever is a new player), I'm not sure that the reverse is true. An experienced owner can acquire more 200k players essentially as cash to dump into the WW. Mass WW dumps to pick up a single player do happen.

In short I'm not sure what your issue here is.

It's almost like he doesn't know that AAA players are better than $200K scrubs....

Play in theme leagues that don't allow trades.

I mean, I get that he makes an extra $1.2 mil trading all his AAA for scrubs, that he then drops, but at the same time, it’s only 1.2 mil.

I've had him do it and it's disgusting. Most were him getting the 200k bum, but it's a ploy for cash or a deal for another league. Either way the team getting the aaa for a 200k guy is robbing us blind. And yes, it's always cwillis generating the trade. And yes they won't do anything. In some leagues if you say anything they jump alll over you like you are the bad guy.

he tried to get cute and try and trade me aaa guys for $0. I know he was just being smart and trying to make me the hyppocryte. No dice.

and he does it at $80 million so he has lot's of new owners who don't know better.

To be fair, unless you know what you're doing with the cash, it's the one getting the 200k player that gets robbed blind :P

It's all a matter of perspective. If you don't like the strategy, don't use it and use your vetoes. I don't find this particularly exploitative though, unless someone can prove the accusation of multi-league deals.

To be fair, no one gets vetoed.

To be fair, in open leagues, since the smart money knows who AAA players really are, trades involving AAA should be outlawed.

To be fair.

Unfortunately you usually have to play in leagues with quirky themes. If you want a league similar to an OL but without trades, good luck on it ever filling. I've tried. Used to get them filled eventually, but not recently.

I agree. That admin. lets newly recruited players here be mercilessly exploited generation (of owners) after generation is really inexcusable. There needs to be a warning or something that AAA are valuable players and that AAA position players are more valuable than AAA pitchers.

There shouldn't be any AAA in open leagues at all. AAA can remain an option for theme leagues but it should not be involved in OLs. If a new owner doesn't draft enough IP or PA, that's what the waiver wire is for.

I think you are right.
