Last season, I was offered this trade, and I have been wondering where I would have been if I took the deal, I still wonder if I should have taken it when I had the chance or not.
Last season, YL (as gm of the Yankees) offered me Manny Ramirez & Aubrey Huff for Gary Sheffield & Adam Dunn. He later pulled back the trade saying it was too dangerous. Now Manny was doing better, but I thought Sheffield and Dunn were better overall compared to Huff. Shefields contract was up at the end of the year though, and he was old, so I wanted to get rid of him by a trade so I could get somthing from him instead of letting him go as a FA. I ended up dealing Sheffield to TOR. It was Sheffield, Maroth and a prospect for Burnett & Wells. (yea I ripped of that GM :p)
so what do you think?

Ok 2 things Jordan,
1st-I wasn't being serious when I offered that trade. It wasa more brainstorming than a serious offer.
2nd-Did you really need to start a new thread to rip on other GM's and to brag about yourself? You could have just posted something in the season thread.

brag? no its been a year.... this isn't bragging.
Everyone else is starting all these threads, so I didn't see why not.
and I am always thinking about that trade, you acted like it was for real YL.
I'm actualy supprised at both of your responces, thats sad guys - its hard to belive you call that bragging - i've waited a whole year to bring it up.
so would you do this trade? thats all I want to know.
I guess I'll start this thread again in the regular fantasy games section where neutral people will look at it.
bragging, jeeze, i'm dissapointed.

I didn't say bragging man, just, there was no need to start a new thread.
This forum's already cluttered enough as it is.
:)
Don't take it like that, and yeah, it's not really as if we needed to bring this up on a seperate thread.

I didn't think I would much if I just wrote it on the season thread - but I was considering it.
I was mostly replying to YL not you
