The FUHRER SPEAKS
 |
| PAT007OHMSS and Ajaxx88 wants you to call them. |
First of all, madmuldoon is a charter member of this league, and provides an invaluable service with our blog, which is why his actions this past week have surprised me so much, as I have always respected him immensely. After he posted about vetoing a trade (I didn’t know which one, or why), I reminded him of the league rule, and asked him to call me (as I find the written word as opposed to being able to communicate in person on the phone to be to open to interpretation). I pretty much begged him to call me, over and over, with total resistance. If anyone would like to see our “World Chat’s” back and forth, I would be more than willing to send them via sitemail (but only with madmuldoon’s permission). One of the biggest reasons for the rule about discussing trades is so nobody has to do what I’m about to do, justify their trade. My feeling has always been, it’s hard enough to do a trade, and if it goes through the “approve-veto” process, everyone has had their chance to object, and no fight has been started on the World Chat. Realize that this one rule has made our league different than every league in HBD, and is even being adopted in another league I’m in. However, as Commissioner, the suggestion that I would, as mad says “pull a fast one” demands a response, if nothing else to assure league members that I’m not above scrutiny.
1 )I believe that in mad’s evaluation of his own trade is one of the main reasons for his anger about the one between me and the Astros, as evidenced by this sentence “Here I am paying dearly to improve my team while the Commish gives away players to my division foe.” (If my trade was with a team outside his division would he be so upset)?
2) I ALWAYS put $20M in Advance Scouting. Ajaxx88 (Houston) also has $20M, but madmuldoon $14M. As most of you know here, that can make quite a difference. Also, when I look at trades, and a players health and durability, I also factor in that I put $20M ALWAYS in Training & Medical. I have more than a few of my major stars with low numbers in those categories, and (I hope this doesn’t jinx me), have very few problems with injuries, or quick recoveries.
3) I build my teams only 2 ways, via Free Agency, and Trades. Hence, it is rare for me to have a young player come up through the system who’s going to make my ML Team. My last one is my current backup C, Higgins.
4) Now, the 2 trades discussed (with the 1st one done briefly). In last year’s trade, I needed a 5th starter (Borland), saw the chance to pick up a reasonable RP (Matos), but the diamond in the trade for me was Jeffries, who I feel will be a really top-notch SP for me for the next 9 years (arbitration and 5-year signing). Having no young SP’s, I was VERY happy about getting him. As far as what I gave up, Sheldon was 36 (and a comparable player could be gotten for cheap in FA), Carter was someone I couldn’t see ever making my team, and Moore was a major star, but 33, and was running out of trade value for me, but has been a boon for Houston.
5) Now, this year’s trade….Houston posts on the World Chat “I need pitching”. Having signed Bronson Mann in Free Agency, and adding a long reliever, I no longer need Borland (who is now 35). I have the opportunity to actually pick up something I RARELY have…..a young pitcher! And with $20M in Advance Scouting, here’s how I see Wallace’s projected numbers (age 24, and mine for the next 9): Health-49, Durability-43, Stamina-51, Control-72, Versus Left-47, Versus Right-69, Velocity-33, Groundball/Flyball-100, Slider-91, Splitter-89, Curve-61.
6) I actually thought that madmuldoon’s problem with the trade was that I was the one who was getting the better of the deal, not ajaxx88. In fact, I would do this deal a million times over. If he stays healthy, he’s exactly what I look for in Fenway (I wish his Versus Right was a few higher, but for God’s sake, 100 Groundball/Flyball, and 91/89 first 2 pitches)? Furthermore, if Wallace would “never make my roster”, as madmuldoon says, it just goes to show how much trades, and their balance, are open to interpretation. I traded for Wallace for two reasons. One, because I’m positive he can make my ML roster, and maybe even be an excellent player, and two, if nothing else, I think he’d be attractive to other teams as trade bait (which is something I rarely have).
7) madmuldoon states that “if anyone has a problem with any trade, just send it to me, and I’ll post it on the blog”. How does it come to this? Again, I tried to get him to call me multiple times, and he refuses to talk. He, by posting the above, is basically saying that he will circumvent the one rule which has kept this league controversy-free for year after year, over a trade he feels affected his division race. I can’t have that, and if I had a crystal ball, can see this getting ugly, totally unnecessarily so. If anything is posted on the blog while a trade is up for “approve-veto”, I have no choice but to have HBD remove the blog (which is the last thing I want to do), and even if it’s after the trade, is this where we want this league to go? Again, I ask madmuldoon, please give me a call. My telephone number is available to ANYONE in this league who wants to contact me. I promise to always try to have a reasonable conversation…..but again, the fact that mad actually thought that yours truly was the one that was “taken” in this trade is incredibly illustrative. In fact, if I offered every owner in this league the choice of Borland (35, at the end of his career, .156 WHIP, 6.31 ERA, and 2-2 as I type this), or Wallace, I suggest that the vast majority would take Wallace.
8)Finally, there are more than a few people here who know me personally, and believe me, EVERY ONE OF THEM will tell you the same thing. I would NEVER make a trade that I didn’t think was better for me than the other club. I’m waaaaaaaaaay too competitive.
A NOTE FROM MADMULDOON. I have obtained a old garbage scow and have stocked it with Bourbon and 12 issues of Hustler.If da Fuhrer pulls the plug on this most excellent Blog. I will sail into international waters and continue publishing this Blog. I should be able to hold out for several weeks before sneaking back ashore for supplies. Down with the Tyrant!!!
THE WEEK INMcCABE S-15 #2
TRADES
The BOSTON RED SOX traded Brad Borland and 4,800,000 to the HOUSTON ASTROS for Daryle Wallace
Borland was traded to the Red Sox from Houston last season. ( Here was last years trade Brad Borland, Orval Jefferies and Pasqual Matos were traded to BOSTON , Dave Sheldon , Howard Moore and Bill Carter were traded to Houston.) Now Borland has been traded back to Houston along with 4.8 million to cover his salary. Houston gave up ............a DITR player that would never make my big league roster and he may never reach his AAA projections with a 55 health rating. So let me get this straight??.....Houston gets a player back free of charge for nothing. Hey Commish how about putting the guy on the waiver wire or release him. Or better yet maybe shop him around before you give him away to his former team. This sets a bad precedent when the commish pulls a fast one. This brings me to my second Beef with the Commish. No one can comment on this trade or get kicked out of the league.Sounds like a Dictatorship to me.But all is not lost my fellow owners. If anyone has a beef with any trade just send it to me and I will post it on the Blog.I will continue to post your comments until pat007ohmss sends his storm troopers to shut down the blog.Long live Freedom of Speech!
The SAN DIEGO PADRES traded Pat Brantley and Ronnie Hoover and 3,000,000 to the HOUSTON ASTROS for Douglas Banks
The Padres get a former All-Star/GG/SS 1st baesman. Houston gets a SP with his salry paid and a outfielder with a expiring contract. At least Houston had to give something this time.
The WASHINGTON NATIONALS traded Harry Tejada and 3,000,000 to the TEXAS RANGERS for Branch Boyle and Denny Bagley
I picked up a good starting pitcher with many years left on his contract and 3 million . Ardthomp got 2 of my prized pitching prospects.Here I am paying dearly to improve my team while the Commish gives away players to my division foe. Thanks alot Pat007ohmss.

BIG LEAGUE NOTE BOOK
TONY CORTES DIFFERENT UNIFORM SAME RESULTS
By Sam "no spell check" Willie McCabe magazine and Yahoo sports
Kansas City, Mo. (McC) - The biggest free agent signing of the off season was Kansas City’s acquisition of Robert E. McCabe league Co-MVP and World Series champion Tony Cortes. “SHOW ME THE MONEY!” Cortes was heard shouting as he left the St. Louis locker room after season 14. Cortes refused to negotiate with the Cardinals during the season, opting for the free market. The 28 year-old Leftfielder and first ballot Hall of Famer signed a max deal (5x20M) with South division rival K.C. which included a $10M signing bonus.
The uniform has changed but the results are still the same. After spending 15 days on the disable list for a spring training shoulder injury Cortes returned to the lineup against his former team, the St. Louis Cardinals to open the season. Cortes collected 6 hits in 9 at-bats scoring 3 runs with 2 RBIs and the Royals took 3 of 4 from the Cardinals. That was just a sample of the hitting the league has to look forward to. The All-Everything Leftfielder is off to a blazing start. Cortes is leading the league in Hitting (.432), OBP (.594), OPS (1.352), and Runs scored with 36. However, the Royals are just 15-14, second in the South division and chasing one of the hottest teams in the league, the Texas Rangers (20-9).
The Royals won the South Division in season 13 and finished in last place in season 14. Management is hoping the signing of the best player in baseball will help the club return to the playoffs and become an upper tier team for years to come. Only time will tell. PLAY BALL!

Much needed farm help
This little injun has good pitching numbers but little stamina.
2 million and a S/T invite for this pitching prospect. He has good projections but his RH split is a tad low.
9.8 million and a S/T invite for this juicy IFA. He could be a good #5 or long relief.
5.5 million and a S/T invite for this nice hitting catcher. He wont win any GG but could win a few SS.
23.4 million for this good all-around IFA. His health scared me off
3.8 million for another nice IFA pitcher. He wont be a all-star but he could be a solid big league pitcher.

The NEW YORK METS traded Julio James , Robin Glynn , Felipe Reyes , Desi Simmons and Theodore Leach to the SAN FRANCISCO GIANTS for Peter Watson , Tony Mendoza and Peter Purcell
What we have here is a one sided trade. The Giants got 4 nice young players and a old guy with 2 years and 12 million left on his contract. The Mets get 2 AAA players and a guy with 4 years and 25.2 million on his contract. OUCH!!!
