It's not your job to manage other teams. It's possible that the third place team wasn't even aware of everything that you've mentioned and was simply trying to throw out some decent arms not knowing what the other mangers were doing. If I were this manager, I might find your message condescending (even though true).
If I were the second place team, I'd be pissed. Manger your own team. You're winning this league because you are a good manger. That doesn't give you the right to contact other managers and provide strategy. The team in third place was likely making managing errors all season. You shouldn't be able to fix his roster just because it's the last week of the season and it serves your own purposes.
In short, unless you were providing such advice all season long when people made foolish moves I think that you need to let this one go...

He picked up Corey Coleman of the Cubs. Currently has a 2 whip and a 7.5 era. Other starter is Zach Britton, who has been awful.
I could see all these points if he had anything to gain. He doesn't. To go out and pick up a guy with a 7.5 era when you can't gain anything proves the point that he's doing it just to put 750 in the pocket of the 2nd place team. This manager every week is nuts about just throwing hte league minimum. This week, he's way over that. I don't think it's a coincidence.
Plus, if it was on the up and up, why not respond to my texts or my private facebook message?
I'm not trying to tell people how to run their team. But if you are going to have a trade processing time to prevent guys from making ridiculous trades, this falls into the same spectrum.
I also was providing trade advice to both of those teams that asked me.
