Absurd Trades..Fantasy Football and Baseball

[TbTeRRoR]

First off i've been playing Fantasy Sports for 3 years now. Just Football and Baseball and I've not seen any REALLY stupid trades until now. Recently i've ran into an outbreak of dumbness and some underhanded attempts at winning a league.

Cheap Shot: A fantasy baseball league I"m currently in 5th but only 5 pts out of the lead (a very tight race)

Last week a guy next to last and waaaaayyyyy out of the race traded Tulowitzki(top 10 pick) for Adam Dunn (lowest .BA for a starter) to the 2nd place team. That trade passed... ok everyone was sleeping on that one no biggie... then at the deadline same two guys try to trade 3 top 100 ranked players for a guy who doesn't even start ranked 1008 and another 800 something... what? I lol and make a post the message area for everyone to veto and luckily they did.

Football foolishness: got a message today to vote on AP and Frank Gore for Marshawn Lynch and Mark Ingram. Now I know its technically possible that Lynch and Ingram could be successful but really? AP and FG for a dud and a rookie who will play in a share the ball with everyone offense?

This isn't even mentioning the trades I've been/seen offered... just the ones that were actually put up for a vote or accepted. You got any mind blowing ones you can share?

I don't know about baseball, but for football is it a dynasty League? If it's a dynasty league it could make some sense to the owner (not saying it's a good trade). For a dynasty he could fell FG is going downhill now, and needs RB depth so getting 2 young RB's with high upside for AP.....

That's the only way I can stretch that trade to make some kind of sense to the owner... But yea, stupid trade IMO.

no keeper or dynasty league just a one year deal on all accounts Mark Ingram would potentially have some value in a keeper/dynasty league... but yeah well even so .... doesn't look good but I will admit I could eat crow if Ingram turned out great still if Gore and AP perform to par its lopsided bigtime
