is this a balanced/fair trade? (1 Viewer)

brox, schumaker and alex gordon forandre ethier and aramis ramirez
seriously?Why am I not surprised about your trade partner on this one.Skip Shumaker with 3 HR's and 2 SB's is basically worthless.Alex Gordon with 1 HR and 3 SB's to go with his .206 averageAnd you're only asking for Ethier and Ramirez? Hell, probably needs to throw in a pitcher to even this one out, maybe he can throw in Matt Cain?

I have not offered the trade until feedback, so there is no trade partner. It seemed stilted to me, but under the league evaluator, SK comes out way ahead. Ethier has not been all that so far and Aramis has been completely unreliable for starts. Broxton is by far the strongest piece of the deal. BUt with your reaction, I will not bother to submit it. Even if both traders like a deal, I do not want to deal with the grief of other owners if they think its unfair. I'd prefer that we have a strong commish or format where other owners can object, rather than to guess what will fly or not. But since our league ahs neither, I will post potential trades here first fro reaction.
 
why would you care about my reaction?

I have not objected to any trades this league has made. I was trying to enhance the deal in your favor.

Actually your reaction is about the only one I care about. I am trying to stave off NJG with his Lincecum pickup, to stay in the money. Its possible I could pass you if I get lucky, but I see no way I can catch the top two. That's why I sent you that email last night.edit to add: SK has posted he needs a closer and I have one to spare. I thought your first post was sarcasm. I am just looking for a deal that will not meet strong objection and help both me and SK. THe Trade Evaluator on SPortsline is the suck and SK and I are both myopic toward what we think is good for ourselves.

I'd offer the deal cos. It's in your favor, but you're also trading for a walking injury in Ramirez. Lots of risk.

And Brox isn't just a good closer, he's the best in fantasy baseball right now. Not sure why Gordon is a part of the deal though. I'd leave him out.
