Fantasy Baseball Trading Can Be a PITA

March 29, 2008

No, PITA doesn’t mean I have taken a love for eating rabbit food, and other high fibrous crap. I still like a good steak. Sometimes I wonder what the heck people are thinking when in comes to trading in Fantasy Baseball. I received a few trade offers recently in one of my leagues form the resident idiot. His trades usually go something like Ill give you Evan Longoria and you’re give me Justin Morneau. If there is anyone reading this that would do this trade and receive Longoria , please find something to click away to, you’re an idiot too. Trading in Fantasy Baseball can be a PAIN IN THE ASS, or PITA

There within that offer is the problem. Folks most Fantasy Baseball managers have doen this while and can sniff out another who wants to rape and pillage. Trading in Fantasy Baseball con be fun. Ok back to this guy he has Longoria, who as you know starts in AAA this year and he wants a 1b/3b guy or DH. Then his usual crap about how good Longoria is and how this and that, blah blah. There is a hint for you right there, if a guy tries to sell you on his player or players get the hell away from him. So he comes back with how about you give me Poasada, Morneau and Ill give you Longoria, Russ Martin and a player to be thrown in usually who is on e the DL. Am I a dumb ass or did he just try to add two names and still get over on the deal. So I countered, How about Frank Thomas for Longoria, and he promptly declined. I can’t wait for his next proposal.

More often that not there will be someone in your league who is an active trader. It is also likely that you will have a dumb ass trader too. We call them guppies around my neighborhood. That same guy who offered me the garbage deal will prey on those guppies until he picks them clean. The rest of you have a responsibility to protect the integrity of your fantasy baseball league. Protest his deals whenever possible and write good arguments to your commissioner explaining why the deal is upside down. How about you guys , tell me about some of your deals or proposals. Its all part of the game and a part that becomes a PITA!
