YAFFT: Protest a trade?

[geecee]

Anyone here ever protest a trade in their FF league? Just curious. I've never done it because trades are often very subjective and you never know what's going to happen. But I saw this trade in my league this morning and I was tempted to punch the protest button right away. I still haven't done it yet, but I'm thinking about it.

1-3 Team giving:
Tom Brady
Kevin Jones
Hines Ward

for

3-1 Team giving:
Trent Green
Travis Henry
Leonard Henry
Muhsin Muhammad

Does this seem extremely one sided or is it just a case of buying low? The way I see it:
Brady >> Green
Jones < Henry (only because of injury really. Henry has not been good this season.)
Ward >> Muhammad
Leonard Henry = valueless/soon to be FA fodder.

This is a 1pt/10yds, 6pts/TD league.

Protesting isn't lame; I've done it, and I've had trades cancelled because of it. Checks and balances...

This is a tough call to protest. The 3-1 team is getting a better deal, but maybe the 1-3 team has holes it needs to fill? I guess I would protest, since Brady and Ward are much better fantasy players than anyone the 1-3 team is getting.

Its not all that horrible of a trade, but the 1-3 team is getting screwed out of what is probably their best players to this point.

Protesting is not lame if the trade is obviously bad.

I would not protest this trade though.

Yah. It was early in the morning. I was probably overreacting. Looking at the trade now, it doesn't seem that unreasonable. I still think the 1-3 team should've gotten at least one impact player out of the deal. He's getting all down players, who may get better, but there's no guarantee that they will. I guess what upsets me is that the 3-1 team offered all his bench scrubs and got away with it. I guess you can't protest stupidity. Thanks for the opinions.

It's not super fair, but as long as it's not one team giving up, or two teams working together to make a super team then it shouldn't be protested. Green could potentially put up better numbers than Brady too so saying Brady>>Green isn't necessarily right. Add the fact that K.Jones has done squat this year and Henry is a proven runner in the past couple of years and it isn't so bad.

BTW: this was protested in my league before the season started:

Team A gives: Martin, Barber
Team B gives: Portis, Ward

Everyone bitched HUGE saying Portis and Barber were WAY better. See how that turned out through 4 weeks. Trades don't always appear even on paper people, sometimes you just have hunches about people.
