I was 'flootering' around with my Fantasy Baseball team the other day, kind of looking at potential trades and pick ups, when I put a deal together which I innocently thought might interest the chap I was suggesting it to, the owner of 'The Mighty Tigers'.
Needless to say, one of the players I traded away had a FIVE hit day for the Boston Red Sox, at pretty much precisely the time 'The Mighty Tigers' pressed 'accept' on the trade offer. Five hits in one game! He had barely five hits all freakin season up to that point. Now that I have traded him away he will probably win the blasted Triple Crown.
The trade in full.
This trade has been accepted in 406 Club Dynasty League The trade has been processed and your rosters reflect the change.
Now, before you throw custard pies at me and shout 'idiot!', there was actually meaning behind the madness. My thinking, my thought process, summed up in handy bullet point style.
Justin Verlander hears he has been traded away from the 8th placed 'Tusken Raiders' fantasy team
The massive, honking big 500,000 lb Elephant you now hear screaming in the middle of the room however, is that Justin Verlander will not finish the season in minus fantasy points.
So what do you think? Was it as bad a trade as I am feeling right now? Or did I actually do okay? Let me know. Cheer me up!

| Tusken Raiders 08 | The Mighty Tigers | |
| Julio Lugo Justin Verlander | Dustin Pedroia Bobby Crosby |
Now, before you throw custard pies at me and shout 'idiot!', there was actually meaning behind the madness. My thinking, my thought process, summed up in handy bullet point style.
- I have plenty of starting pitching
- I have a brutal shortstop who couldn't hit his way out of a paper bag
- I need a really good second base man
- Julio Lugo is not good
- Justin Verlander is having a bad season and I have 3-4 'Ace' type pitchers anyway
- Julio Lugo is just awful
