My pitchers tonight, 3 of them, have combined for 5 innings and -60 points. YESSSS!!!
-
Given the tight race, I'm making Yu and others available. Looking for cheap high-impact mlb talent. Injuried for now is fine. Who wants to buy a title?

Blame Aaron Loup - there is at least one Braves fan here

And I killed Freddie Freeman by acquiring him. Sorry everyone...

Too much negativity!! In the last 3 days I've had 8 pitchers earn points for my team. One started the game and got 5 points. The other 7 appearances all earned negative points.
-
I'm considering cutting Matt Harvey. Anyone want him and his $22 salary for nothing in a trade? How about Hyun-Soo Kim? He is playing OK but Showalter isn't using him as much as last year for whatever reason.

Yeah, 10 players is pretty awful. I have 7 on the DL right now but a couple of them are in the minors and only a couple of them are key players. The Blue Jays and Mariners have a ton of injuries right now too. 4/5 of Seattle's starting pitchers are out - the best 4, naturally, leaving only Yovani Gallardo. Which is why they have a parade of starters you've never heard of.
-
If anyone feels like their disabled list is a little lonely, I am resource-rich in this area. Maybe we could work out a trade. I currently have 10 players on the DL. Do we keep stats on that sort of thing? I feel like that has to be a record.

Thanks a lot guys - that helps!

While on this topic, please note that I am willing to trade cap space or take on salary for prospects. That is all. :)
-
This is the first year I've been up against the cap and it sucks. I like to be a lot more active on free agents and prospects. One way some people deal with this is a salary dump trade. Some teams even trade a middling player for *nothing* in return, basically just like dropping the player but without the 50% salary penalty. Some owners have frowned on this in the past, but it happens and is not against the rules.
-
solid advice from Trea Huggers. One area of frequent confusion is related to this part: "If someone else auctions or claims a player you cut, your cap hit for that player goes away." Note that it doesn't matter whether the other team picks the player up during the waiver period (24 hours after the drop for current salary, no auction, lowest teams get priority) or as a regular free agent auction. This penalty and potential forgiveness lasts for the duration of the current season onl
-
I personally don't cut players until I need the roster spot/cash personally, but I know not everyone shares that approach.
-
Cutting a player results in a cap hit of half his cost, rounded up to the nearest dollar (e.g. cutting a $5 player results in a $3 cap hit). You also cannot start an auction or bid on that player for 30 days. If someone else auctions or claims a player you cut, your cap hit for that player goes away. So there are strategic reasons to cut someone who you think someone else will claim/auction, but it usually comes down to how much cash you need for a particular move.
-
Going over the cap is definitely something to worry about. If you go over the cap in season you can't bid on players, propose trades, or even set your lineup. What you saw as far as people over the cap in the offseason happened because once the season is over player costs increase by $2 ($1 for minor leaguers) plus any arbitration allocated by other owners, but in the offseason there are no penalties for being over the cap.
-
Does anyone have advice for a beginner on how to approach cutting/adding players in Ottoneu? I'm in this league and an inaugural 'Ottoneu 101' league. They are my first auction/dollar value leagues as I've always played in redraft leagues in the past. You take a cap hit when you drop someone, yes? But I saw that in this league, at the end of last season, it seemed like most people were over cap so apparently that isn't something to worry about?
-
If I couldn't cut the season short last year, you can't this year Pete!

Seriously. I had I think it was Iwakuma on the bench when he threw his no-hitter. My first time in first place in a couple years! Can the season end *right now*?

I second team Glasnow's post.
