Well, lets see. I get a 3B with VG defense. Who can hit. I get a LFer who can hit in the leadoff spot (which i dont have). Who plays very good defense. I just lost my only viable LFer for 309 days. So i upgrade 2 positions that are weak.
I have a crap load of pitching prospects, so I was dealing from a strength. In fact, a bloated strength.
As for the DPs, my minor league system is pretty stocked right now. I kept my #3 and the rest would have been redundant.
Trying to win the division or watching 5 minor league guys develop for 4 or 5 seasons where they may never see the major leagues in Texas. Hmmmm, what should I do?
Well, some guys who value things differently then I do have decided that this is a bad trade. Where I felt this was a good trade. So, the trade gets denied. Texas falls back into the bottom of the weak AL West. Yeah, makes sense.
People value things differently. Why do I have to have others values forced on me? Now I have the honor of picking that 70 potential guy in the 6th round that will be cut in a couple seasons. Woo Hoo! Good times.
Not sure I like this part of the league. Its not like a traded my #3 for a 55 potential prospect in rookie ball. And isnt making "bad" trades part of the learning curve? Neck, if you guys were in the major leagues, Lou Brock never would have been a Cardinal.
