Nobody answers mail. Nobody is interested in dealing or even negotiating a deal. Wow. Boring people man.

Join the Player's Championship, dude! You'll get some good managers in there.

I am in an autoleague right now. Five days into the season, and four managers have already dropped 27 players. Not once did anybody send an e-mail saying they were contemplating dropping a player or two, would anybody be interested in a trade? They are just losing 20 percent of their value left and right. And I mean they are dropping expensive players, too. Three of the teams are in the same division. All that fourth team needs to do is stand pat, and he'll eventually have an $80 million roster while the other teams in his division are less than $70 million.

One thing that you have to keep in mind Surfer Joe is the salary cap. There will be times when it is almost impossible to swing a deal because no one has enough spare cash on hand to make the trade work.

Good point UNC. I've just never seen such a quiet league before.

teepack, how do you join the Players Championship? Sounds cool.

I say it doesn't matter how expensive the roster is. What matters is how the team is doing...is it winning? if not, then I always make changes. And it's worked for me.

Yeah, some people are just boring eh? Or just plain not courteous.

sometimes it takes a lot of work to make deals happen and people font put the work in....i haven't done it as much lately but i know in one league I sent out close to 40 offers....I think it resulted in 3 or 4 trades

I save all my comments for the forums; that way you can make fun of your competition without them knowing about it. :D
