When you say consistency with the rules you only mean whether or not the rosters will support the trade? And if not then cuts may need to be made? That's it?

And if your trade gets voted on (you the Commish) then that effects the person you're trading with as well. Everyone is okay with that?

And I come from different leagues than you, Big. I've never encountered anything from a Commissioner regarding trade reviewing.


Stop bellyaching and pick (YOU ARE UP), every trade is checked in every league by the guys keeping the books. otherwise, people could go over roster size, stash prospects too long, etc. Every commish has to do that.


If it's only about roster size then that's great.

But do you guys understand that if Big makes a trade with one of us that YOU are affected when others may need to vote on it? Does that sound cool to everyone? I've never seen that.

YES! Seriously, how many times do I have to say it?

I have been driving ALL DAY. I am EXTREMELY TIRED. The bit about voting on my trades was typed by me in error, because I'm tired and misunderstood what AZ had asked. Ignore that.

I'm done with this for now.

Well thank you. This is the first time it's been confirmed by you that I've noticed.

Get some sleep! :D

That's the whole point! I don't consider this interference at all. It's not about me deciding whether I like a deal or not, or arbitrarily rejecting deals. The process is only there to check that the deal is consistent with league rules. And I've never been in a keeper league where this didn't take place.

I don't really appreciate being referred to as 'overlord', after the work I've already done, and the work that lies ahead keeping this thing going. So decide now what you want to do.


There's once.
