FYI - arb is now live
-
You have spoken. We will allocate and the full season salary increases will remain in place.

I'm on board with arb as well

It is the natural progression on the heels of an 11th place finish.

Heck, I’d love to not allocate and have most of my team return but I’m for allocating and continuing on like normal.

WTF has withdrawn to play a money league.

proceed with arbitration
-
On that note however, if anyone is not planning on returning next season, please say so now so we can fill your spot with someone more likely to participate in arb.
-
I think we should proceed with arbitration. I know for me personally arbitration factors in to some of the moves I make.
-
In my opinion there will be a world series. The season will be complete so we should go about the normal arbitration
-
I believe an argument can be made for both sides. I have no preference either way so if our league commissioner wants to take it upon himself to make a decision that he feels is most appropriate for the league i would have no objection to what he decides. If it comes down to a league vote in which majority decides i will then state my personal preference .

Allocation comes up in a week or so. If anyone does allocate, we all should. If no one allocates, then we don't do that. Salaries have already been boosted by $2 per MLB appearant, and $1 for MILB guys. I am open to ideas to address what seems to me as inequity of a full season's escalation after 60 games.
Speak up, please.

Thanks. I’ve been playing Ottoneu since 2012. Have about 4 teams a year and never finished higher than 6th. Glad to finally break through.

Also I will def take second after my last couple of seasons...
-
Congrats SS! You really ran away with it. Like my chances if I didn't nuke my pitching stats in the first month, but such is life. Looking forward to an active off-season.
-
I recall the turmoil but not his team name. Congratulations on a season well-won. But next year "We'll be back!"

After all the turmoil last year, this was a much quieter September. Too bad the guy who got mad last year at my trades wasn’t around this year to see how they panned out.

Yes, Smellerino exceeded expectations, as did Willie Stark of All the King's Men. Alt Stats blew his away, and if it's even possible, Southie did even better. Dudes, you have built a highly competitive league. Way to go guys.

I am a bit proud of my boys! For most of the season I floated between 10th,11th and 12th place. In the last 6 weeks or so and now on the final day of play we have climbed solidly into 6th place. I hope for continued growth from my youth and I need to find more vets to balance things out. Now you can all Smell My Finger!!! ;-)
-
Nice work though!
-
Yeah this short season leaves no room for slow starts. Why I started going crazy with trades when I saw I had a chance but my pitching was terrible/injured.
-
I should re-phrase that. Over the last 30 days I have raised my points total 21.5 which leads the league over the past 30 days. Not exactly what I wrote the 1st time but still...Too little too late.
-
Over the last 30 days I am the #1 team in the league!!! Too little too late
-
Alt Stats put his finger on it. You guys have made this an excellent league. You do deals. You show up every day. Metaphorically you run out all the ground balls. Thank you; I salute you. It's been a long time coming, but to this league which had been piss-poor from the beginning to 2019, a change done come. God bless us everyone!

Quite the race we have with a month to go...good luck all!
-
Okay, I got 1 deadline day deal done (try saying they 5 times fast) im looking to do probably 2 more. Ideally I would like to move promising young talents in Riley and Kieboom! However if you want to blow me away with an offer for say Springer or Bregman I will listen. You can message me im free all day
Let's make magic!!!!
-
Royce Lewis / Vidal Brujan for a SP who doesn't suck anybody?
-
What can I say, that big trade earlier in the season really messed up my finances.
-
Cutting Soler 🤔
-
Dallas Keuchel anyone? Not sexy I know but a damn good pitcher.
-
Ok I cut one, please claim him Magic.
-
I've actually only cut 1 SP from my preseason roster so far. They just keep getting hurt.
-
And if you cut enough SP some will be good for someone else, right? We are past a quarter of our season, but normally we would wait until mid May to cut guys we liked in March. We may have put too much emphasis on urgency, too much on the now. Methinks we can cut way too soon. I am trying to wait closer to half way through the season. But I understand urgency ... just don't let it be the be-all and do-all, even this year.

If I add enough pitchers, some of them are bound to be good right? I think AZ's pitching coach may need to be fired...

I'll take a 27 year old over a 21 year old every time. More times than not the 21 year old will break your heart.

Probably long overdue, but Whitley is a FA now, $11 seemed like a good gamble at the time...

Solid-ish. Looking to fill the gaps until / if Keller and Puk come back. Probably more of tier 2-3 pitcher.
-
congrats on this trade. impressive
-
Your staff is solid. What level pitcher are you looking for?

Lordy, I can't even comprehend that trade. What were the negotiations like lol? Also, someone trade me a pitcher!

Mother of Pearl!!! That's the greatest trade ever. Congratulations to both parties on getting it done.

As we are about 5 mins away. Happy opening day!!!! Hope we are able to get a full season... well full 60 fans. Good luck everyone
-
It is about time someone muzzled you. ;-)
-
We will go with it and see.
-
Niv has muzzled me and closed my thread. So we shall proceed to the end of the season (could be August 15) with all the guys who appeared in a game in MLB last year or will in this one getting $2 inflation. Our MiLB guys will get a $1 raise even without a game. Let's see how long MLB season lasts; then we decide on alloactions. Okay?
Otherwise it is business as usual in our corner of Otto, 60 games or not & like it or not.
Please advise.
