Wow,
Ok here is the reality version. A friend and I joined SIM baseball together a year plus ago, and we typically enjoy playing in leagues together and talking smack. Last 2 leagues I knocked him out in the championship, and he knocked me out in the 2ndround, respectively. From time to time I tank games to rest players, I may do this against his team, or other teams. As we are friends we obviously talk strategy and he employs a similar strategy.
In regards to my successful track history, this is my only user name and I just recently joined SIM. My skill is advanced because I played Yahoo fantasy baseball for 15 years at a very high level and was able to transfer skills as it all comes to analysis and finding keys to success.
In regards to this clown’s claims, a couple things. Firstly, he is claiming that me giving up 2M rookies and only getting 200k+ is HURTING me. I traded these rookies to about 4 teams in the league. So if you follow the logic chain, I am helping 4 teams, none of which were my friend’s team or my own team. So I am helping 4 random teams by giving them sub-par minor leaguers?
I also traded better rookies for 800k – I always try to get as much $$ as the market will give me. I post messages and add guys to trading blocks, but ultimately, no one will give me much $ for poor minor leaguers. I still make the deal because I will be leaving these minor leaguers in AAA as they have no use to me. Hypocritical is that this disturbed individual actually made 2 trades with me, and had no problem ‘colluding’ then.
Truth is a 2M dollar rookie with a D defense has no value. The dollar value is mostly based on his PA, none of which are useful if your team already has enough PA. I explained all this to this invalid.
I love this game, and think I bring an interesting brand of play which is not often seen in these leagues. I offer up trades, I private message people with hopes of negotiating, and I trade with whoever gives me the best offer.
D Rock, learn not to judge until you hear all the facts, it will help you become a better person.
