...when making trade offers? There have been times when I will make what looks to me to be a perfectly fine trade offer when the other owner will reject and come back at me with something that, to me, seems way out of the park. I understand that for guys like Hunter Pence that the ranking isn't completely accurate, and I take that in to account, but for the most part it seems way off. Particularly when it comes to trades between batters and pitchers. Any thoughts?No, I have not been looking at the o-rank. That's rookie $hit

Yes, pay attention to it, b/c the other owner probably will, and if he sees you're offering a batter ranked 150 and want a batter ranked 25 in return, it probably won't go through, even if the one ranked 150 has had past success. Owners live in the now and don't want to be ripped off. Batter vs. pitcher trades is trickier, b/c it's an everyday player vs. an every 5th day player (or 2-3 times per week if a RP). I make these trades more on need rather than rank, so it's easier to digest getting a pitcher with a little bit higher rank.The other thing about trades, I've found, is that owners are afraid to do anything, b/c they don't want it to turn out wrong, even if they are getting a guy with past success. They're afraid to rock the boat and mess up their season.
