Geeze Louise the price on the prospects. Outrageous!
-
Well, now I'm bringing you a Bazzana jersey! I knew he was Australian but he doesn't have much of an accent so I assumed it was like a Kyrie/Ben Simmons thing and he came to the USA pretty young.
-
Fun fact: Travis Bazzana is from western Sydney. Youth sport is run through clubs here rather than schools, and his former club (Kuringai Stealers) is a common adversary for my club. The obvious caveat is I play in D grade with the guys with creaky knees and bad backs and he was playing at a much higher level even as a teenager. But still it's been very special for Australian baseball. The product has improved dramatically here in the last 5 years and we're all very excited for what comes next.

Looks like I'm buying Urbina a Guardians hat to represent his new franchise player.
-
Makes sense, Twosies. Thanks for explaining and I apologise for casting aspersions on your process. Good trade, JAGF. I guess this means the hot stove is officially on. Looking forward to an exciting chase for the second half!
-
I mean I agree that we should let owners do whatever they want. God knows the last place manager whose pitcher hurt his esophagus shouldn't be making judgements on others. Sorry for the shenanigans.
-
And to the rest of the league, I will trade Brooks Lee. He is on my block after all.
-
Bruh lol you don’t gotta spill our private trade talks to the league. Lmfao 🤣

The league was likely to bid up Judge to $65 or more... with his injury history I couldn't risk waiting longer to get some value for a player I really couldn't retain and field a winning team next year. If my man Teix had parted ways with Brooks Lee this would have been a differently story. Lee is a beast

This league kept more players last night than every other Ottoneu league I'm in. Since I've joined this league, getting good pitching has been an uphill struggle. It's risky, but someone has to start for you! I'm extremely high on Taj Bradley, and Ben Rice is likely to lock down 1B next year in an extremely favorable Yankees ballpark, freeing me up to trade Harper. Kodai Senga has had a lost year, but I loved him in Japan and am willing to wait. Thorpe's changeup is the best in baseball.

Just wanted to add for full disclosure that I'm going to sleep on it tonight and vote to approve in the morning barring anything serious coming to light.
-
Not a deal I would make, but as long as there is no evidence of collusion and it makes sense to the two owners involved in the trade, I do not believe there is grounds to overturn it. That said, if you feel it is unfair, I invite everyone to vote their conscience and we'll see where the chips fall.
-
HOW?! it's a lost year but God dang
-
I hope no one had Tucupita Marcano on their watch list.
-
Yep! That is exactly what it is. BRB, time to go nominate all my old cuts from the beginning of the season.
-
Not sure exactly what you're referencing, but often players will nominate old cuts to eliminate the cap penalties. This article kinda gets into: https://fantasy.fangraphs.com/ottoneu-101-navigating-ottoneu-cap-space/

So - is there some kind of strategy I'm missing? Win an auction then immediately cut that player? Is this a - "I can't have him, so neither can you" kind of thin.
-
If anyone is wondering, John McMillon has 5.1 IP in AAA ball this season and has walked 12 guys. Only one homer, though.
-
haha, we have a long list ourselves, so eventually we'll get one and stop spamming the bid board.

-
Sorry Dansby. Wish we could expand to 100 man rosters so I could just rostering 40 relief pitchers that I like I’m crushing on.
-
Tex: rude...

Well, it was fun while it lasted, guess there's always next year. -SD

Day 1 Champs!!! - SD

Trout's back, baby!
-
Woof. Espino with another shoulder surgery and out till mid-2025. Guy hasn't pitched since like 2021 and even then it was on 49 innings. What terrible luck for him.
-
My wife just texted me about this! This is bonkers.
-
Soooo, does exposure on potential federal money laundering charges get us a trade discount for Ohtani?
-
We've got a small Discord server for another league I'm in. I plan on watching the game in a few hours. If you're into Discord, feel free to join and chat if anything cool happens. https://discord.com/invite/5Fd2wKgS
-
Remember to get those lineups set today if you have any players in the SD/LAD game tomorrow!
-
That's the most balanced and straightforward trade I've seen in a long time.
-
About to send Trout, Machado, and Acuña to Twosies for Matthew Liberatore. I tried to stay away but I just can't.
-
It'll change shortly, but Just A Guy has a perfect roster right now. $400, 40/40 players.
-
Hey all, draft is starting imminently!
-
on my way

Thanks for the heads up, Twosies! we'll aim for a 705 start. I'll be joining from a lecture hall and should be able to participate in full until 755 or so, when I'll need to dash off to teach a class. my students will be working on an assignment that is due tomorrow, so I may be able to pop in and out if I can't fill my 8 roster spots in the first hour. I hope you all won't hold it against me if I miss a nom or two while switching classrooms or interacting with students, etc.
-
If we start him at $1 and only bid in $1 increments every 14 seconds, we might make it. If not, I have a list of middling $1 relievers that can eat some time.
-
So you're saying throw up Trout at exactly 7:00pm EDT?
-SD
-
Message received, we'll try to hold off on the start.
-
hey all was hoping to be able to work from home tomorrow but it did not happen. My train gets into the station at 7 exactly and I live about five minutes away so if you can wait five minutes to start the draft, amazing, if not, no worries. Thank you.

Sounds great, can't wait!
-
Hearing no objections, we're locking in 3/13 at 7 PM EST as the draft date. Happy prepping and looking forward to the leagues 14th draft!
-
Works for me as well
-
That time is fine with me.

Sounds good
