[quote:0712666d01="sschu"]I know I previously asked this and not to be a pain, but other than swapping mutual players on teams that are represented on multiple eras/rosters, what does someone have to trade?
For example, I think I have the cheap Billy Hamilton (taken first) and Frank Bailey's team took the expensive one. Other than my good nature and Mike's long-term friendship, what does he have to offer me to allow the use of the more expensive Hamilton?
Right now the rules make no allowance for this and I think making some rule applicable at this late date in the draft could be deemed a bit unfair.

Agreed, it is hard to trade. These leagues are never perfect. I think it is harder also because of all of the new cards. While I don't think we can switch the rules, I think it is fair to have a gentlemans agreement not to hoard the cheap unusable cards only to screw someone. Examples would be the cheap Vance, Frisch, etc. it's a little bit of a matter of degree as I can easily see someone using the cheaper Hamilton or Paige. Also, right now unless i improve I may even use the cheap Jack Clark in rf.
I've been in leagues with almost all of you and based on who is in the league I don't see a huge problem with people trying to screw someone only because they can.
