SCF Baseball Team Traders September Thread

[fyretiger]

Unfortunately, I'm going to have to sit out this month. I'm fine with whatever you guys decide and I look forward to returning to action next month!!

[98padres]

Sorry gals and fellas but I am out as well. mr715 I will honor our trade for this month if you want to, but count me out for next month.

[mnvikingstwins]

I'm out too, I'll still trade with the Royals guy, but I'm out

[etmill01]

Has anything been decided on how to revamp this so we will not be trading with the same members so much?

I had One trade posted involving me and I have already traded with that member a couple times recently so I rejected the trade...If there is someone I have not traded with who wants to do a trade I would gladly trade with them, if not I think I am just going to stay out of this until something is decided upon...Ed

[schwood]

I have sent a PM to ChristiansCards, hobbyfan and k9rocco. We are trying to figure it all out. I would say this month we need to be flexible. If you want, I would gladly sent you a lot of Yankees cards for some Red Sox. LMK.

I would honestly hate to see this fall apart as myself I enjoy doing it and I am sure others do...I am not sure what I have for Red Sox cards but I am sure I can find something in my trade boxes that you would be happy with...Go ahead and post the trade and I will confirm it...Ed

[schwood]

Hey bud, we are looking at a rotation that would pair you and I up in two months. So, let's just hold off on the trade until we figure everything out.

SOund good?

First things first. Thanks k9rocco for taking on this group and leading us for as long as you did. It really is a thankless job, and I find it important to thank those that do things such as this.

I will help with this for sure, and I think that hobbyfan and ChristiansCards will be supporting the group.

So, I will continue on with posting up the monthly matchups. When they are posted, we really need to post our trades. As this will be the mechanism for any disputes on the site. I will not, and honestly can not handle any disputes with trades. I am here to organize the matchups and keep a running tab of who is in and who is out. So, I can do that.

What I ask of all of you is to post here and let us know if you are no longer interested in participating in the group. If it falls to a level that it is just not worth it, I will discontinue the postings, and pretty much let it die out unless someone else wants to keep it going.

In saying that, we have lost the following people so far...

98padres - Padres
fyretiger - Giants
mnvikingstwins - Twins

I think fyretiger will rejoin at some point, so, hopefully that will work out.

Here are the matchups I am proposing...

I am going to keep a running tally of the traders I 'think' will be back with us in the thread here. Easier for me...

If I am totallly losing my mind, please let me know.
First off the Groups (the same as before) :
1 - Ryanhughes12 (Orioles), JustinHixson (Reds)
2 - Dawson16 (Royals), hobbyfan (Mets), hippieman556 (Phillies)
3 - desertdogg (Dodgers), stlcardtrader (Cardinals)
4 - crosby87 (Pirates), marcjack (Rangers), etmill01 (Yankees)
5 - tribe2907 (Indians), christiancards (Braves)
6 - schwood (Red Sox), mr715 (Tigers)

Second off, the monthly matchups :
October : trade within your group (so, Orioles and Reds would trade and so on)
November : 4-6 1-5 2-3
December : 3-5 1-6 2-4
January : 3-4 1-2 5-6
February : 4-5 1-3 2-6
March : 3-6 1-4 2-5

I looked at the last couple of months, and the first two months of trades, there were no teams that traded with each other. Overlap starts in December, but that gives each of us 2 1/2 months to restock for those teams. And knowing the rotation shoudl help people restock in between. So, with this rotation, it will be 6 monhts in between trades with a given team.

Anyway, one thing I think we should do is if you post a trade for your month, and the other trader does not confirm within lets say 10 days, cancel the trade, and post here that this happened, and I will put them on 'the waiver wire'.

What I would like to do is use this thread for all group communications. So, if that happens, just post it here, and I will update the original post.

Does all of this make sense to everyone? And is this amicable to everyone and okay with the matchups going forward?

Again post here any concerns.

Thanks.

[hobbyfan]

Fyretiger indidcated she'd return next month, Woody. I have a trade posted with mnvikingstwins, even though he's leaving the group. I pinged him and made the deal.

Has anyone heard from hippieman556 at all?

[ChristiansCards]

I certainly want to stay in the group and continue.... I will help manage as well as best I can.... I like the 10 day rule.... and the schedule looks great to me.... hopefully we can keep it going for a couple of months and then make a push to grow things when the season starts up again in the Spring.
