i was in the preseason of the first season of a league when the atlanta owner expressed interest in greg colbrunn. im arizona. so i offer colbrunn for betemit and francouer. we were using the CBL roster set. is that really that bad of an offer? everyone has their value for what different players are worth. i dont think there is such a thing as lowballing. the pirates offered benson for david wright in real life. some people might call that lowballing. that kind of stuff is just part of the game. if someone makes an offer you dont like, ya, go ahead and laugh, but i dont ignore them because then you may be just ruining an opportunity to better your team. this is a game where you try to make yourself better, like capitalism. this is americas game, ment to be played americas way. i am a fan of the lowly pirates and hate the high budget teams, but at the same i realize that they are acting the way they should act. After all, the point is to win, isnt it? if teams didnt do all they could to put the best team on the field(excluding finiancial difficulties), then wouldnt that sort of ruin the integrity of the game? What ever happened to being competitive?
