Trade block;

I have picks #11 and #15 in the 1st round and #'s 14 and 15 in the second, and #15 in the 3rd.

I am looking to either move up in the 1st round or possibly make a change in the WW or BW division.

The way I got smacked around last season by both the Beavers and Bears warrants drastic measures.

Tomato City may not win the West, but should remain competitive.

None of the moves that I have made to beat the Beavers have worked so I'm just planning to stick with what I got and hope someone else beats him in the playoffs or for his team to grow old. I almost beat the Bears last year while I was still sporting the three 1s and I think I'm alot better now so I think I can take him. Anyway, I'm for anything that makes my path to the division title easier next season so I say keep making moves.

As hard as it was to part with the 2 first round picks, I made the move I felt was necesary to give Basilio,Ramos, and Michelzewski the opportunity they deserve IMO. I still think I am too young to have a reasonable chance plus in order to fit these two in the lineup and will probably have to give up on one of my 2nd year 9 rated fighters.... I doubt Mugabi, Petrolle and Pimentel can all stay If someone is interested in Mugabi please make an offer, thanks!

I will be pinning my Franchise hopes on my soon to be first pick pick Pascual Perez and a development of some Fighters that showed some potential this year....Mainly Benny Bass and Jack Sharkey

[jbergey22]

Undisputed Champions
I am going to extreme measures to try and keep my young nucleus in place therefore I need to cut somewhere. I am putting these fighters on the block in hoping to get lower rated fighters, HOPEFULLY with some ability. Expansion teams this is a way to improve your situation

(7)Rocky Kansas 33-20-2 (11) *PRIME
(7)Octavio Gomez 33-21-4 (13) *PRIME
(6)Tommy Gomez 5-14-1 (4) *pre-prime
(6)Luis Maldonado 20-22-2 (14) *pre-prime

TY for your interest!

Know what ya mean Lee. Overall,I was happy with my team..my heavyweights kept me close in a few matches but I was weak in the lighter weights. Hopefully my big boys will continue to improve and I can just get a few more wins in my weak divisions and have a better season next year. Its tough being an expansion team,but we have to whip up on these noobs next year..keep the UTBA initiation going...lol. I have some guys in mind for my team...just have to wait and see. Sure is a lot of excitement already about next season! There are a lot of powerful teams,but I think its time for some of them to come back to the pack..or some of the pack catching up to them! The fighters of Left Jab Inc. are locked away in seclusion somewhere in the mountains of West Virginia...training and getting ready for the new season. LOL..take care fellas.

Man, Walter Cartier has been passed around almost as much as Jhonny has. The Undisputed Champions would be his fourth team I believe.

Thats a solid trade by Matt. He upgraded at two spots and once he dumps Jhonny Gonzalez he'll be below the cap plus is a 2 really that much of a downgrade from Jhonny Gonzalez. Of course, on the bright side for the rest of us in the Gold Conference the Beavers also got alot older speeding their eventual decline.

Agreed, The Beavers have an awesome team. I think I looked at only 2 fighters have a losing record on his team(4 rated and 1 rated) not too bad at all. Unfortunatly for the Gold, I am certain I made his team better but it was something I also needed to do, I needed to clear cap and he certainly made an offer. The 3 rated fly I received is likely a done deal but I did need him for flexibility in the draft, in case my primary concern falls through.

I just counted and he has 4 fighters with a losing record which is the smallest amount in the league. Plus, one of those fighters, Jhonny, doesn't seem long for the team judging by Matt's previous comments. Icetea, myself, and one or two others have five. Lee has the most with 13, so good news for you Lee you finally came in first for something in the UTBA.

It seems like you've done a pretty good job opening up some space once you get rid of Maldonado and Gomez. Hopefully, you the cat you want falls to you.

[Romdawg88]

Hey, SAL I was just looking over the rosters and I noticed that you have Melio Bettina down as a 6 but if memory serves me correctly he's a 8. So that would put the Lee's boys at the cap instead of 103.

You're 100% correct Romy. Thanks for catching this. I've changed Lee's roster to reflect this and sent him a PM concerning it.
