Yeah, not sure that a league manager should be able to push his own trade through early, bypassing the league vote.

Pushing trades in time for games happens all the time, you and Djay appear to be the only ones who would like to see it vetoed and thats obviously not enough.
Theres plenty of doubt on either side of that trade, Wombat has been around for some time, he should know what he is doing.

We're the only people that have said anything on the forum so far. That's why there's a vote on the league site, though...which we'll never see the results of because the person who's getting the better end of the deal used his power to override that function. I'd let this go if I was the only one that felt that way, but the fact that there was any dissention at all should have meant that we had an official vote.

Is that a trade you would actually veto? Wombat explains himself up above. He's not getting taken advantage of. Snowballing a veto for anything short of collusion is lame. This trade was fine. Call it unfair if you want. Rally a veto and you're telling Wombat how to run his team.

Yeah, I'd veto that trade even after reading Wombat's reasoning. He's right that he didn't draft Foster, so he might not be that high on him, but the values are so lopsided in this situation, that I think it's a league balance issue and not a team management issue. A back-up running back and a receiver that can't stay healthy for a RB that was the a Top 2 pick as recently as last year. I understand him dropping this year because of those injury and other noted concerns, but he's still a featured back in a game where running backs are a prized commodity.
And what Tarrant said.

Alright, since draft ranking is all the rage these days and since this league often gets the least attention, here are my (possibly completely arbitrary) draft rankings for this league:
Starter Team Ranking (Based on the best starting team possible):
Full Team Ranking (Includes Bench)
Neither include defense nor kicker.
Percentages show how far you are from the number one team.
Also, take a moment to appreciate that these are my own metrics and I still managed to draft a mediocre team under them. Auction is hard.

Hey, I did recognize its depth.
This is before the trade rape too, so that should get you up a few spots.

The veto allows the league to curb cheating, it's not meant for you to stop someone else from improving their roster. Wombat is starting Jarrett Fucking Boykin. His team needed Percy and ham (is ham D Train?) took advantage of that and got a pretty good deal. Even if you want to scream trade rape, it's still defendable because of Wombat's roster situation. Just because one owner took advantage of another's situation doesn't mean you should punish him.
Anyway, I dont think there would have been enough backlash to veto it anyway. I just think it's kind of dumb to look at a trade only from the perspective of you thinking it's fair or not.
You two maybe have a point with pushing it through early though.
