Smellerino, is your other league Head to Head? I think simultaneous games within a week could work in H2H if your sponsor's software supports it. Yahoo, for example, seems to have no such feature. But in our case, we are a roto league with a fixed number of positions to fill and can only play the schedules of our players. Maybe I am missing something but I don't see how we can play more games than our positional framework allows.

My other league appears to be playing multiple games a week since it is an option and that the season will be so short. I think we should in this league as well. Thoughts?
-
I think assuming 1 game is played all salaries for MLB players should go up $2 i don't think minor league should go up but in order to facilitate this we would have to release them and redraft them for their current salaries. Then I think assuming there is a WS champion that we should do arbitration
-
Whether they play one game or 60 games I believe salaries should probably go up $2 and $1 this off season. The only exception is players on Smell My Finger. His MLB players increase $10 and his MiLB players increase $25.

Personally I think my salaries should remain the same while all of yours should go up.
-
I've re-read Phase 3 of Covid by Niv. It says salary increases are hard-wired, no matter what including MiLB, even though MiLB has no season, and if a prospect pitches an inning or gets an AB in MLB, he becomes MLB and goes up $2. Allocation can be skipped but only if the league is unanimous.
Given that salary inflation is required, should we skip Allocations? Hey, we might have a 15 game season ... seems a shame to crank up players prices as if we played a full season.
Speak out!

I’d like it if he froze contracts this offseason too. However that would take away from the offseason. Less trades, less cuts on cut down day. Less auctions next year. I see why he doesn’t want to freeze them.
-
The uncertainty of it all is extremely frustrating. I have no opinion either way because I can see both sides of the discussion.

There should be no allocations at all, and no automatic cost increases inasmuch as we did not crown a real champion.

competitive team in a season that at best represents 37% of a full season, and and at worst could end after 2-4 weeks for Covid-19 reasons. Allocation should be reduced pro rata to the games played. Likewise, MLB players should add only $1 for a 60 game season, and MiLB guys who won’t play any games at the MLB level should not have anything added to their price. Furthermore, if the actual MLB regular season lasts less than 25 games … I can’t call that a fantasy season. And we play fantasy ball

Niv Shah has decided that we will all add $2 to anyone who played a MLB game and $1 to all MiLB players (even though there was no MiLB season). Plus he wants an ordinary allocation season.
To me, if our fantasy season ends a few weeks after opening, that ain't a season. So I sent our owner this note.
Niv, I understand your business decision to not reprogram your game to allow something other than business as usual. However, as a participant, it annoys me greatly to lose a year of a competi

This went all different directions...better then I imagined. Also, to answer the question, No I never have seen Twilight. I did see a few Kristen Stewart films that were decent though.
-
No there isn’t, to my knowledge. If you were speaking your joke could’ve had more traction. But Kristen and Christin are spelled differently, so it wasn’t as funny reading it.
-
WAIT is there actually an actor named "Christin" Stewart, or did my joke just sail over your head?
-
Kristen Stewart? Google has no nude images of her ... what a bummer ... so go on and bid on Christin.

Why is Christin Stewart even listed on here as a ball player? She doesn't even have any good films let alone any baseball films.

What does the Isle of Wight have to do with American baseball? Or doing the Wong thing? Is social distancing bringing on a plague of lunacy, or at best, a scourge of bad puns? Ah, it is such a curse to be literate in today's world! But you too can experience this insanity: read the great books!

Wright & Baum for a very good OF'er???

Meant to change my bid for Larnach, sigh.

A lot of people have shown interest in Leclaric. I would like to trade him. I'm even winning to trade him for just cap space. Probably to the highest bidder.

Thanks dude hope we can get some games in.

Aloha and howdy to our newest player, World Trade Federation. Dunno what low tariffs have to do with baseball, but that's just me. Welcome to our nightmare, dude!

A lot of big names being traded this off season. Love all the action going on.

Welcome sharkbait, I'm looking to make so trades. When you settle in and start to figure things out let's talk!
-
Welcome aboard, Sharkbait. Many of us have nicknames here; as your e-mail includes Sharkbait, I dub thee Chumley. The biggest adjustment you need to focus on first is that SB, RBI, Wins and Saves Don't Matter. The other is to be sure to get your IP in, as there is a minimum (normally 1250 IP, but less this year with a shorter season). FA's are taken via dutch auction; the winning bid is lowered to one dollar above the next highest.

Hi. Long time fantasy baseball player but I’m new to Ottoneu. Played yahoo for years then moved to CBS. It may take me sometime to get used to this set up.

Why the change on Dallas?

Felt stark took me to the wood shed. We went back and forth a hundred times. I thought we were close and few times and had to go back to drawing board. It was actually a very fun process. Good luck stark

Grabbing a team with top 3 talent is a rare opportunity. Someone will take it tomorrow ... until then Trout may tell me he wants to play ball, and then he shall keep that tea. No word from Truit means that his team is fair game on the team FA market.

I posted in my other league asking if anyone wants to join
-
Trout is disinterested. He has a few hours to post that he IS interested ... if by midday tomorrow after coffee there is no word ... in the words of Hawk Harrellson "He gone!"
Joshua Bay has less talent, but not so little that he is cellar bait. He did not renew his $ubscription, but times are becoming hard, and $20 is not so little as it used to be. His team has been available for perhaps one month.
Hang in there, all of you's. This is a pretty good league. We will make it bett

Ignore my last message, it's my other league where a guy has Trout for over 100. At 69 with as much cap as he has I would keep Trout.... in fact can I switch teams lol. Jk... mostly
-
About time. Ive been trying to trade with him for awhile. But when he uses his free drop and drops Trout it will brew crazy... everyone clear some cap space!

We need 2 owners now yes?
