I have a friend who joined a random league on ESPN and they went through the draft and everything was going normally. Well all of a sudden two days ago, one team made 3 major trades with 3 different teams. Obviously this guy either got his apathetic friends to join and do a draft or he had multiple accounts and had them all in this league.

 

The guy made a bunch of obviously one sided trades that were premeditated to help his one team win the league. After his trades this is what his starting lineup and rotation looked like...

 

C Chris Ianetta

1B Albert Pujols

2B Ian Kinsler

SS Jose Reyes

OF Vladimir Guerrero

OF Ichiro Suzuki

OF Carl Crawford

UTIL Hanley Ramirez

 

SP CC Sabathia

SP Jake Peavy

SP Brandon Webb

SP Dan Haren

SP John Lackey

RP Mariano Rivera

RP Francisco Rodriguez

 

 

That doesn't include his bench players. I would be infuriated if I joined a league where some twerp pulled that crap in it. And they weren't even fair trades. One of the trades was

 

Adam Dunn

Frank Francisco

Felipe Lopez

Carlos Silva

 

for

 

Hanley Ramirez

Ichiro Suzuki

CC Sabathia

Mariano Rivera

 

This guy drafted 4 teams in one league for the sole purposes of trading each teams best players to his primary team. Obviously you are not allowed to protest trades in this league and he was also obviously the commish. I'm not even in the league and it pisses me off. Has this happened to anyone else? I can't even begin to imagine how infuriated I'd be if it happened in one of my leagues

meh. If it happened early enough (i.e., before the season started), you should be able to email ESPN and tell them you want out of the league. I'm pretty sure you can do that with Y! In a case that bad, they'd just delete the whole league, I'd imagine.

Just abandon the team. If that guy just wants to compete against himself, then let him compete against himself.

 

Thats what you get for joining a random public league.

I told him to quit but he actually was winning yesterday so I think he's gonna stick with it just for fun. And this guy did the trades on opening night after the Phillies/Braves game.

 

Tell Meph to knock it off.

Yeah just leave the league. I'd imagine that guy just did it for fun anyway and has no intention of keeping up with it.
