what is the criteria considered when you push thru a trade vs waiting on the mandatory 48 hours?

i take the 2 days into acct when i make a deal.  i plan exactly to the minute that i accept a deal so it benefits my team.  it affects starting pitching and hitting matchups.  now derka gets blackmon (the best player in the deal) at home for a couple days he wouldn't normally get.  and two slots to stream pitchers.

it doesn't affect me directly, but you can bet your bottom buck that the minute i get a trade accepted, i will be up your ass to push it thru asap.  basically what you're telling us is "this trade looks fair, i'll push it thru."  so it's all on your say-so?  horrible precedent to set.

i didn't realize this league was being run by north korean club rules.

FTR i agree with this. The trade got processed, and i could either leave my lineup with holes in it tomorrow or add players to fill it out, so that's what i did. there was no need for commissioner intervention here. you can push a trade through if it doesn't affect anyone's lineup, but because this trade was accepted in the afternoon now four teams in our league have had their matchups altered unnecessarily. not a huge deal in the grand scheme of things, but like hg said it's not a good precedent to set. 

[Fawesome 111]

there hasnt ever been a trade thats been vetoed. we are all in our right minds. sorry for assuming that i was trying to be helpful and active. i can disappear as commish and let the league run itself if thats easier.

and i have no problem pushing through trades the minute they are accepted. no one votes in this league so its just a dead period for a day. didn't know anyone waited til the exact minute to gain an advantage. guess thats why i've only won this league just once. 

and not that it matters but its a day trade review. was going to process tomorrow at 5. 

 

 

[Fawesome 111]

you said push it through! i didn't see HG's initial response so i just sent it off when i saw you approve it. 

if you both want to reverse the precedent, bench the players involved or i can reverse the trade. didnt mean to cause a ruckus. 

 

[henrygandorf 29201]

trades don't often get vetoed, but they should be allowed the necessary time to get judged.  most of us realize that 48 hour block is built in.

until now.

[Fawesome 111]

again its only 24 hours. 

i fucked up. my bad. seems i cant get out of my own way trying to commish this league so i'll step aside. BigO and Derka currently have commish powers. decide amongst yourselves who wants to take over. 

 

[henrygandorf 29201]

espn locks daily lineups after the first game, which is typically early am (pac time) so you can manipulate the timing if you need to.

i don't care how you commish this bitch, just do it consistently. 

 

[NOMAAA 1696]

i veto every trade.  even my own.

[Armin Tamzarian 58]

some of you guys are acting like cotton-headed ninnymuggins

[henrygandorf 29201]

37 homers and 99 rbi.

combined, we're basically putting up a top 5 mvp season thru a week of baseball.

[NOMAAA 1696]

Odorizzi is gonna nono this season.

I had an offer earlier, that was not terrible, but it was going to leave me with a huge hole at second. I tried it lol at a few counters, but could not come up with anything quickly.

If my hitters all play to the back of the baseball card this year i am going to be scorching for awhile at some point, because right now they're all hitting .088.

[Goo Punch 4275]

good thing i decided to drop heyward. right?

[Goo Punch 4275]

I'm trying to move any and all of my pitchers for an outfielder. I have Josh Hader, the greatest fantasy reliever of all time; of all time! #facts i'm willing to part with him, my other closer, *and* possibly even a complimentary bat for right outfielder. Clevy is hurt, i'm on tilt, and I'm ready to make moves. now who wants to dance with derka?

[Goo Punch 4275]

@BigOrange1 offer me trout for vladdy jr just so that i can prove that i'm not trading vladdy for any one player. i'll legit reject it. 

[Goo Punch 4275]

because vladdy jr is going to make up for my 3-month injury to the best damn pitcher in fantasy baseball Mike Clevinger. Vladdy is about to go for .330, 35 HR, and 105 RBI in 5/6 of a season. Facts.

[NOMAAA 1696]

faith is not a fact.

but i kinda need some pitching.  so what do you want?

[Capn81 388]

Derka, I threw out an offer expecting it to be a starting point, or not, whatevs. Does anybody need a 1B?

[huge 3803]

I appreciate your interest in Mookie.

[henrygandorf 29201]

i have too many homers and too many saves.

i could possibly use some steals with trea on the shelf.

make me an offer, even a ridiculous one as a starting point, and let's cyber.

hello perhaps we can do business

[Fawesome 111]

Push the trade through or nah?

*ducks*

[NOMAAA 1696]

This is fun. 

[Fawesome 111]

Also fun: Your star pitcher breaking his toe trying to move a piece of furniture. Idiot.

[NOMAAA 1696]

Sorry friend. 

[NOMAAA 1696]

please push that deal through. 

[NOMAAA 1696]

so this is why we dont ramdomly push through trades i guess.  what the fuck

[NorthLoop 14305]

I thought you wanted it to get pushed

[NOMAAA 1696]

I do. And it hasn’t been. 

[NOMAAA 1696]

my point at the time you were pushing through trades was this case exactly.  it seems extremely arbitrary to pick and choose what trades get pushed through and which ones dont.  I could have picked up another player today prior to the 120 first pitch, but because derka and NL are not online today that doesnt happen.  so either remove the waiting period or no one gets anything pushed through.  thats my take at least.
