Powellcrosley and jcheney2013 trade:

Harmon Killebrew & Bobby Bonds for Roberto Clemente & Smoky Burgess.

Anyone else think this is a strange trade. A team trades for 2 players he could of drafted in the first place. A 4th and 21st pick for an 11th and a 38th pick.

I am sorry you feel that way Rickcom. This was an arms length deal; an offer was made and accept. For myself, I do not appreciate what is implied by referring to this as a "strange" deal.

My priorities in the draft changed drastically in the course of events, which is why this trade was attractive to me. I would hope you accept this explanation.

Jim

I find it strange that Ron Santo is not playing for RonSanto's team!

Warning! Insight into how I think could be dangerous. I am a right hander who was raised by left handers. That has led to some twisted logic.

I have tried to draft Harmon in the past, saw him took him. Then the guy I really wanted and had planed to take was grabbed before my next pick. I took Bonds later then realized my team was not shaping up the way I wanted it to. That my lineup with Harmon and Bobby was not at all what I wanted.

I ran a trade by Jim (we have played in several leagues together) I was going to offer another. I ran that by him because I have made offers to players in the past and sometimes people take them as insults for whatever reason. I don't want to insult anyone so I wanted to make sure it was reasonable. He than made me a better offer than I was proposing. Deal done.

Indecision and a bad (for me) first pick lead to the trade. Nothing else. My championship in this league will validate my deal! Left handed logic and all.

Good luck all.

My said tale is about my first favorite player, Sandy Koufax. In my first 60s league, I decided to pick the players I wanted (not trying to guess which players would be drafted high) with Koufax, of course, being my first pick. I didn't get him or any other of my top picks. So next season I tell myself it's just not worth wasting my first pick for a chance to get him. What happens? Nobody picks him; I could have drafted him 25th! And then this league comes along. I get the second overall pick. This is my chance! Ummm, no. Koufax went (not unsurprisingly) at number one. <sigh>

But I shall have my revenge. My draft went quite well otherwise. The championship will be ours!
