I have read the link Manatease posted about the new and improved arbitration process. Sounds like a much better system all around. Reading the comments in the article linked sealed the deal.

I see Ottoneu have released a new arbitration system, based on each owner allocating $25 rather than voting a player off rosters. They plan to offer both systems this year. Which are we to go with?

Has anyone read about the new arbitration option? http://www.fangraphs.com/fantasy/index.php/new-and-improved-ottoneu-arbitration-process/

Old Balls and 80 Grade. I understand both of your valid concerns, which is why I am working on something:)

I was in a league where someone came on in the scond season and had the 400.00 FAAB. I left after he bought EVERY arbitration player, several other teams also abandoned their teams. Be care what you wish for!!
-
My main concern is actually finding a taker for the Melvins. If we can, that's great. I just don't think I'd take a team with nothing in an established league vs starting from scratch in a new league. But I'm still game.

IF the Melvin team is too much of an issue for anyone and does not want to continue into 2013

Like in all sports it's not how much money you have but it is how you spend it one or two players does not a team make.

The advantage comes in at the "arbitration draft" Every team votes for players on other teams that were underpaid this year. So everybody has one player in the draft. Somebody with a 400.00 FAAB can outbid everybody for those players.
-
In truth the "Melvins" team being at an advantage is a non issue.

when it comes to taking prospects because most of the top 50 have been taken.

This is a dynasty league so unless he/she does there homework they are at a slight disadvantage

Many players are dropped at that time....I don't see any advantage for "Melvins" team...

I agree with Hillbilly....There is a period of time where you can drop any player you want without any penalty.

cancel any monetary advantage that Melvins might have.
-
It will work out. Inflation will also cause high priced players to be tossed back into the pool, sure, but for the most part, teams are going to keep most of the good players. 2 or 3 teams may decide to dump 95% of their roster. That alone would...
-
*NOT a lot to choose from.
-
...every team will lose one of their best players to arbritation. Melvins may have alot of money to spend, but a lot to choose from. I see that team next year having some stars, that they will have to compete for, and alot of prospects.
-
Whoever takes the Melvins team next year will have 400 to spend, but the player pool will be limited, as most teams will keep most of their roster. Some competition will come from owners that keep fewer players and also will have $ to spend. Plus,...
-
Is it off the limit to start over with no keepers and a whole new draft?
-
I totally agree with OB. People that bid early on in last year's auction are now stuck with unusually large contracts compared with players bid on later, after which it was known the Melvin's weren't playing. Anyone have any ideas?

Before deciding on next year, I need to know what Ottoneu is going to do with "melvin.s spot" If someone comes in and has a 400.00 FAB, you might as well not play. Old Balls

Dear Mr. Mudball, Although 4th place has no prize, you are making the end of the season interesting in our "battle for 4th" Old Balls

I will give them time, but, do not expect everyone back but will fill the empty teams for 2013:)

I have set up a poll to see who is coming back so I can make plans to replace anyone that is not returning. Jared and Darryl are returning but for some reason are unable to use the poll set up... If anyone else has problems working with the poll,

Sorry, MR, Mudball will implode.
-
NO, Mr Hillbilly, when you max out your pitching you will slowly implode.
-
This will go down to the wire.
-
win or lose, this has been a good league with tight races. I have been in leagues where the races were over by july 4th.

One might think that one has the one up on lineup selection, but sometimes at the last minute ZCozart will be put in the lineup and rack up 25 points. It happens.
