I couldn't have said it better.

I am from the alternate school that says that all trades in a fantasy league should be vetoed unless they happened in real life. After all, what's the fun of fantasy baseball if it doesn't conform exactly to major league standards?

I really don't see that trade as being THAT bad, you could make the argument that Franceour could have a big year and he needed pitching.

Fair enough, thanks for the responses. I think I am going to subscribe to the school of thought that 'unless you suspect cheating, do not veto'. All owners are friends and the owner trading Konerko and Lee just inherited this team. He is building/drafting for the future. Yes, this is a keeper league but I just felt like he could have fairly gotten Francoeur for Lee headsup. I still think it is a foolish league but to each his own.
