Pujols for Al Reyes

Post by JohnnyJay »

A buddy of mine is in a Yahoo league, and another two teams are wanting to do a trade of Albert Pujols for Al Reyes. NO ONE else in the league understands why he is going to veto this trade. You should see some of the reasoning behind it.

So I just wanted to hear someone's opinion on why this trade WOULD be ok.

That's ridiculous. Why would someone deal Pujols for that, unless they manage both teams and they are trying to stack one of the teams.

Well, that's my thoughts and my buddy's.

To give more info: The team that would be receiving Pujols is in first place, and the team that gets Al Reyes is in dead last. So either it's a person that doesn't care anymore, or someone who doesn't know what they're doing IMO.

But everyone else in the league seems to think that 1)it's not against the rules, 2)why does it matter.......

I mean really, I know it's just fantasy, but play fair.

To post a reason from someone in his league:

"Because Pujols is hitting something like .250 right now and Al Reyes is one of THE best closers in baseball."

I know people on CT would do it. They're still wondering when Al Reyes is coming back for the Cards.
