Every year I like to take a look back at the best Free Agent Moves of the Year. Here are this year's top adds of the season
Candidates:
-Max Muncy, $6, Mockingbird Killers
-Zachary Wheeler, $6, LA Blaze
-Jesus Aguilar, $4, Black Beard Returns
-Franmil Reyes, $1, DaBums
-Johan Camargo, $2, Mockingbird Killers
-Adam Ottavino, $2, Black Beard Returns
-Brandon Nimmo, $1, Cactus Leaguers
-Austin Riley, $1, Black Beard Returns
Winner:
-Max Muncy, $6, Mockingbird Killers edging out Aguilar
-
I wonder, Blaze, if that was more a product of you having a lot of minor leaguers and not enough starters that year. And if so, that is a calculation that every team makes when balancing a rebuild and being able to win that year.

Fairly regularly? Fantasy baseball isn't fantasy football where you can check once or twice a week and still compete. It requires daily interaction April through September, and in this format significant research and interaction in the offseason. I understand that some people may not be able to adjust their lineups everyday, but if you aren't doing it 98% of the time, I don't think you can win.

Require as much upkeep if time doesn't permit to check it as frequently?
-
I guess I just saw that there has been a year where I didn't hit minimums despite checking fairly regularly. I think given that baseball is such a long season that requires daily updating to make the minimums is where my comment stems from. Also, if you are struggling and devote a lot to your minors you'll struggle to hit it. I mean either way guess it doesn't matter that much. Are you able to adjust it so that more starting pitchers can be left in the lineup so that it doesn't require
-
And thirdly I do not think anyone who has been in serious contention, or even in the top 9, have not hit the league minimum before this year.

I think part of the point of the large roster is to allow you to keep that type of depth if you would like, and making the correct adjustments to have the best rate stats possible while also hitting the pitching minimum is a fun balance and part of the leagues' attractiveness.

I look forward to seeing if you can defend your crown, Mockingbird. So far, no one has been able to win 2 years in a row in this league. As for the league minimum, I do not believe I even have control over that. In addition, I think it is a poor decision to allow for a smaller pitching minimum with 3/4 of the pitching categories being rate stats. Having 1250 as a floor forces having 5 starters pitch 180 innings and 5 RP at 60 innings, or compensating with pitching depth.

This is definitely a bitter sweet win, but I'll take it anyway. Thank you for the congrats. I think I have a good enough team to do it again next year, but we shall see...

I would be opposed to lowering the innings minimum if that goes out to a vote. Three teams this year didn't meet the innings minimum. I don't see it as a problem for the league. It is odd that Wallace and Grommit went AWOL this year. He was a really engaged owner in the past and obviously built a very strong team. I hope he's OK.

Can we adjust the innings minimum for next year? I feel like there are typically multiple teams that don't hit it which makes me think maybe it could be a little bit lower.
-
I was told that the standings will adjust for the innings floor by Thursday. The 2018 Winner and trophy tags will auto adjust. Congratulations to Mockingbird on a great win and season. Has consistently had great pitching and finally had the hitting to match. Kudos!

I have reached out to the owner about it but I'd like to apologize as commisioner for not noticing a team in first place not actively managing their team. This league has gone on for 7 years and I very much want to keep it as competitive as possible and make everyone want to continue playing. I will try to be more diligent on this in the future. I hope everyone has had an enjoyable season, and will stay around for the best offseason format in Fantasy sports, when that starts very shortly.

Wallace hasn't actively managed his team or played Betts, Jose Ramirez, or any of his starters in nearly two months. He had an extremely dominant team should probably be the winner, but nevertheless I will take even this win.

Looks like a good race to the end for our leaders. But I wonder if Wallace will meet the minimum pitching requirement?

Happy ASG everyone! Please note, if you haven't yet, the change in pricing for next year, of which there is a link to at the top of the page. Please let me know if you think this might be an issue for you continuing in this league ASAP.

Time to start loading up on prospects. I’ve got a couple good SP on cheap contracts that can be had. No vet on the team is untouchable. Come get your SP and OF.

Interested in moving Aaron Sanchez for hitting help, as all of my hitters have decided to start the season on strike

Anyone looking to unload a 3b? Both of mine (Lamb and Turner) are on the DL. I have prospects and surplus SP.
