I guess the deadline goes into the final days of the regular season. Still... seems odd.
-
I just looked at the schedule. Does the trade deadline really go into our playoff season? After this week, are we more than a quarter of the way through this season? Teams not in the playoffs won't have games in September?
-
Feels like the divisions to date are a little unbalanced, but maybe that's a good thing?
-
Anyone want Ryan Braun?
-
Fun matchups this week. Looking forward to Pollock & Pollack vs. Ozuna Moncada and Lucky vs. Brad's Hand.

And going for the triple post, I just cut a cheap prospect I have in the top 15 for FGpts. Because that's the way this format is built.
-
We're basically guinea pigs for this - hardly any leagues switched over. Somebody should record our feedback :) (not it)
-
It's working really well for me! My roster is hot garbage and near the top of the standings. I think it's begging for a weekly lineup lock with 5 SP and 5 RP.
-
yeah i learned the hard way, not quickly enough, that a 6- or 7-man rotation would not suffice
-
That's exactly it. Essentially, the only effective strategy is to have as many viable SPs as possible (even if they really suck) and attempt to have as close to 14 starts per week as possible.
-
At any rate, I'm enjoying this league. I wish I didn't have an All-Star roster on my DL, but those are the breaks.
-
I think Niv looked at the cutoff, like with the traditional FGPTs leagues, but decided against that. If I remember correctly, he wanted to cut the IPs off at around 50.
-
Games played for offensive players. That's easy to control. I wish it were seven starts a week for SPs and unlimited innings for RPs. Maybe you reduce the relievers from five to four per day? H2H is just so strange. Too many ways to game the system and way too much emphasis on SPs — to the point where decent offensive players and prospects might not get rostered.
-
i don't know of any site that properly accommodates IP limits -- they usually just allow the start(s) that meet and then exceed the limit, then freeze all remaining starts thereafter. i think it would be fairly uncontroversial to implement a similar mechanism here
-
GPs or Games Started? You can't really control for RP GPs. Where are the rules anyway? The "Rules" link above doesn't have the specifics on H2H. Basically, I want to know if the only viable pitching strategy is to shoot for 14 starts each week.
-
I think it had something to do with the coding of the game. It's easy to cut off GP, but not as easy with innings — since there's no way (right now) for Niv to cut off a innings in the middle of a game. I wish H2H allowed a maximum of seven starts week and had unlimited five-man bullpen innings.
-
But there is a GP limit which I still think is a weird decision.
-
No IP limit.
-
Does the IP limit apply with the 2 SP/day format?
-
That's a Niv question.
-
asking this purely out of curiosity, obviously, because it is may 1: why a MI slot but no CI slot?

Looking to move a corner guy (Abreu, Mous, Miggy, M. Davidson) for an OF or two.
-
Historically, that's not really how any ottoneu league has operated on valuation. And it's certainly not how you've managed your own roster. A good prospect is a good prospect.
-
He's in A ball so likely 2-3 years away from being a contributor at the MLB level so 2-3 years of taking a roster spot away. And that's another (at least) $2-3 in salary. For a prospect that's good but not great. Soto is worth a big leaguer... Kieboom, not so much on his own.
-
How many FGpts is a cool name like Kieboom worth? I assume Cistulli is in charge of assigning them. Is it a one time points award, or can you use them strategically and cash them in in a week you really need them?
-
You say that like he isn't a top prospect in FGpts.
-
Good luck with that
-
I'd like to convert Carter Kieboom into a MLBer.
-
Could use an OF with Thames down

Last chance to sell high... I mean, I'm taking exuberant offers for Ronald Acuna.

-
Anyone have a great SP they'd like to deal? I have a bunch of star-level players who could become available.
-
looking to trade a top-shelf prospect (senzel, verdugo, mejia, calhoun, honeywell) for a solid arm (max $20). hmuuuuuuuuu
-
Good to know. Thanks.
-
Maybe it's obvious somewhere where I can't see it, but I confirmed with Niv that the best overall record (outside the 3 division winners) determines the playoff teams 4-6. At one point he had discussed using overall points scored, so just wanted to be sure.

Ok, got crushed in week one. No worries. Thank goodness for this H2H thing or I’d be hitting the rebuild button already

This is a good question. I will find out.

Question for you smart folks: How are free-agent pickups handled in H2H? Is priority given to the bottom team (in traditional FGPTS) when there is a tie? Is it based on W-L record, and then goes to a coin flip?
