  • enjoy the spicy message board this year compared to years past. at the very least i hope it translates to an active and interesting season.

  • I am saying You have no experience with flag buying, unless you say it last year. I have seen it a few years and based upon those outcomes I have observed what too often happens. That may not come about here, but my experience and yours as well if you were here in 2024, tells you and me that it will. Thanks for proving my point.

  • So it sounds like you're saying I shouldn't jump to conclusions? Thanks for proving my point.

    Got Matsui! on April 25, 2025 10:12 AM

  • Well, Matty, I'm still in it and a co-commissioner. But it's a private league. If not, look up Women & Whiskey in 4x4. Team name is Magic Bus. As for flag buying here, I had to cut a bunch of expensive guys ... Soto, Judge, Fried, Betts and a few others. I either began this season with the lowest pre-draft set of keepers, or at least second lowest. Big Time Cuts Were Made. Now vote to veto this trade before it goes through.

  • Skippy, how do we know you you didn't leave your 10-year league to "flag buy" here? Seems suspicious.

    Got Matsui! on April 24, 2025 5:12 PM

  • I have played only one Otto league for ten years up until now. I have witnessed the onset of flag buying. I have observed what happened the next year. I, at least, have seen this cycle run its course before. Have you, Matty? And no, the goal is not to be as realistic as possible: that would require permanent large and small market teams. The goal of all fantasy baseball leagues is to build a challenging, fun to play league within a sensible set of rules. The rules ain't quite there yet.

  • Unless you "know" Steinbrenner, I don't think that's fair to assume that's why he moved on. I doubt he's running a fantasy baseball scam to win $100 by getting "loans" on players. You're assuming everyone's worst intentions without knowing the facts.

    Got Matsui! on April 24, 2025 12:17 PM

  • i guess to me the whole goal of this platform is to be as close to real as possible; so approaching trade deadline, mortgaging the future for some high priced "rentals" makes sense; and the loans make more sense then too - if i'm only getting a guy for 2 months, maybe seller should cover some of that salary. but i also ought to give up some future potential. this trade mimics some of that, but seems to early for selling with the offset. that's my main concern here - too early for big l

  • In effect, ending a season with $550 of salary means the Next Owner has to cut at least $250 to have any $ to fill the holes for the 4 or 5 priceys lost in those $ cuts. Unpopularity aside, there's a reason ol' Steinbrenner moved on (to repeat the process in another league?) along with several others.
