This sounds like a fun idea.
-
I'm in favor too. Sounds like a great idea.

Love this idea

i'm fine with it

Let’s say we need a 10-0 vote on this. Eli cannot vote, and Marc doesn’t need to vote. Let’s try to have this done by the start of our championship.
-
He's definitely very active. He checks Ottoneu daily, pestering me so much I just showed him how to check it himself on his own laptop. Would need to run it by Meg to see if she's up for it as a content piece, but chicken and egg problem. The point is for him to fail and learn from that failure, as in chess. I would definitely not be the hockey/soccer parent that gets mad at people; failure & mistakes are extremely important, as he's learned the hard way in chess.
-
This sounds like a cool idea to me - I'd vote in favor of letting him in.
-
We would also need Eli to agree that there would be no hurt feelings if someone pointed out a bad trade offer, etc., by his son and that the column would would not vilify otherwise regular fantasy banter by his son’s opponents.
-
What I mean about absentee is that I’ve been told the 9-year-old is exceptionally engaged and would be active. Plus, with a column, the league would get more attention — which was the initial reason Dave/Niv created this league. It was basically an advertisement for the ottoneu format.
-
This is an interesting proposal. I think it would fit within our guidelines about current or former FG, since this proposal includes writing a FG column about his son’s development as a fantasy player. Plus we have had two or three disastrous/absentee owners over the league’s 11-ish-year history. We would need nine owners to sign off on this. I am in favor but only after we get confirmation that the FG column has been approved. If it were cut, for any reason, the new owner would lose his team.
-
I have an unorthodox proposal to replace Marc. My oldest (Brandon) is an elite 9 yo chess prodigy (https://www.chess.com/stats/live/blitz/tactics9). He's also very into sports, and fantasy baseball in particular. I'd love for him to join this league for a couple of reasons. First, this league is safe. Second, I'd love for a couple of the experts to mentor him. If you are open to it, let me know, if not, I fully understand. Obv, no trades between him or I, but otherwise, throw him to the wolves.
-
Playoff top three. Championship matchup and winner of third-place game. I think this will be fun.
-
I like it. Assume the winner will be based on playoffs? Will top three be division winners? Best records? Playoff top three?

That sounds like a great idea - consider this a vote in favor of both. Sorry to see you go Marc!
-
Also, at the end of this season, I think we should do something a little more fun as a reward to top teams. I think the top three franchises should have an October draft where they get to pick the teams within their divisions. Does that sound good to all of you? Additionally, I might go out late this month and get a box of vintage-ish baseball cards (junk wax era) and ship that out to this year's winner. Could be Topps or Donruss or whatever I find. Is that cool with you guys?
-
Marc, AKA The Marctinis, will be leaving us after this season. If you know of a replacement owner who would fit in this league, please let me know. Thanks.
-
Thirty minutes left. I still am selling.
-
hi everyone! i've been in the thick of moving and have neglected nearly everything in my life, fantasy baseball included. i am a BUYER and if you would like me to BUY from you please send me a package (anyone can be moved at the right price!) and i will try to review this evening as i have absolutely no time to give this the attention it deserves myself. otherwise i will simply stand pat. thanks for helping a brother out!
-
Trade deadline tonight.
-
Looking for something keepable for Lindor or Bregman. I will pay for their contract and attach Joey Bart.
-
Realmuto and many other players from my team are available before tomorrow’s trade deadline. I’m looking for a keeper RP/SP or a keepable MI.
-
The trade deadline is Tuesday. Get those deals done.

Thirteen days until the trade deadline.
-
Which future league champion needs a player or two? I might have your key to a great postseason run. Let's trade.
-
Fewer
-
Well, I guess that’s one less outfielder I can shake a stick at.
-
I'm nosing around for some pitching and I've got more outfielders than you can shake a stick (or even 13 sticks) at. I'll toss some offers out there, but feel free to ping me if you have any interests.
-
Anyone need a catcher? I’ve got 4 healthy catchers on my roster and I’m looking for some depth at SP.
-
Excellent. We won’t look to replace, then.
-
fyi, I think I'll hang onto this one and focus on getting my FG Staff 2 roster taken.
-
Wouldn't mind converting $13 Voit into 3-5 warm bodies. Mostly just need depth bats, one RP, and maybe another SP.
-
I’ve got about 8 hours to complete any last minute pre-OPL snapshot deals. I’ve thrown some stuff out there with Cedric Mullins, Ketel Marte, and Spencer Howard. Ping me if interested!
-
Anyone want Bellinger?
-
i'll inquire
-
Does anyone know if someone within the FG universe would like to take over Brad’s team?
-
Could somebody ask on slack if any of the newbies want my team? Either to take or to co-manage. I asked NotBurt but he's busy.
-
Bellinger and Goldschmidt are both available.
-
I got my first win in a month!
-
😬 The only two teams to score lower than me this week just happened to be the two teams I was playing... *whew*
-
Not my year. 4.15 ppg is wretched. Taking offers on pitching for high upside bats. Bieber, Castillo, Lynn, Darvish.
-
Scott Kazmir is starting tonight? Man what a blast from the past.
-
Four out of my six highest-paid players have hit the DL, and some of my cheaper guys have forgotten how to hit. I’m looking to trade. All of my players are available. I’m looking for young keepers, especially across the infield. I’d especially like to get a young MI.
-
actually i'll expand that request to the entire infield, prioritizing 2B > 3B > SS > 1B. grazie
-
not dying to make a swap but i could use better depth at 2B and i've got a lot happening in the OF. let me know if you wanna tango
-
It'll probably happen to all of us at some point.
-
Just luck of the draw. The scheduling is randomized so some percent of the time random will be three straight matchups.

so, i still like the two-matchups-per-week thing, but: this is my third week in a row playing eno. is that purely just luck of the draw, or has anyone else had repeated matchups against a single opponent so far?
-
It seems like forever. Happy Opening Day, and good luck to everyone.
