    And what have those rules ever won you? A meaningless TSSL championship. Pfft...you didn't even win our division.
    I did a lot of good things as a sim league GM.

    Ah, give me something clever to say here.

    Re: GM with the hardest road ahead of him

    Its really tough to deal at this time, even with all the players I'm offering to get a complete rebuild. Right now im only half way there because the pitching sans Delarossa and Crespo suck and the Offense is still pretty damn decent.

    Re: GM with the hardest road ahead of him

    ill more or less trade with anyone. if you got what i need, and youre not trying to hold me up, im pretty fair. there was one guy back in the day, griff, who i would make outrageous offers to because he irked the shit out of me and every time he tried to make a trade it seemed like he was trying to get over on everybody else... **** him as far as im concerned, but everybody else ill work fair if you work fair. theres really nobody else left that ill strictly avoid, there are guys who i know evaluate talent a little differently than i do, but shit happens, that wont deter me from trying to get a deal done. unfortunately, im rarely in a position to make a good deal... because if my minors are stacked, that means im rebuilding and have no reasons trade... and if im looking to win, my minors are usually barren because ive traded everybody off to fill most holes already.

    I always enjoy the "I've already set up the deal between us despite having never contacted you, and guess what, I win it" strategy.
