A 29 year old elite 3b for a 34 year old OF needed Kershaw and Rosario to get it done?!?!
-
Wasn’t a $38 Yelich given away in this league?

I identified Blackmon as a building block. Rosario and Kershaw are decent to good players to get it done.
-
am i missing something with this Arenado trade? 3 good players for 1 and not getting any cap relief or prospects?
-
I'm curious is there's been any discussions about the point value for HR's given up by Pitchers. MLB is moving more towards the "3 True Outcomes" and is there any thought that HR's given up some be decreased by a couple of points to balance out Position players and Pitching? I don't have any statistical backup, but wondering if that's been a topic around Ottoneu?

I am just happy to be watching baseball and playing fantasy baseball in a weird and crappy year, and I have lots of Cardinals.
-
That's great news. This whole season is stupid. If you have any Marlins or Cardinals you're losing opportunity. If you have players playing doubleheaders you're losing value. If you have a player opt-out it doesn't matter that you get a roster spot if he is a big % of your salary cap. If you have prospects they all have lost seasons of development. It's great for the mill- and billionaires that they get some money but this is just dumb that we have to play it out.

Yeah this seems likely as well. Moving into offseason early makes sense, but it probably won’t be all at once - maybe a week or even two lag so it can be relayed out to everyone and auctions, trades, waivers etc can be planned accordingly."
Looks like we'll get some time to make roster adjustments.
-
Nuke, I'd broach it with Niv. He's done very little else logical this year and seems to need help/input to get stuff right.
-
I think that sounds logical to me. Not sure how that will work when that seemingly will happen.
-
Not sure if this has been discussed, but what happens if MLB says the season is over? Do all transactions in this league stop? If that happens, I'd really like to have a 5 day window to start and complete new auctions and trades. Did we have any agreement on that scenario?
-
I accept all good doggos on my team regardless of salary tax
-
He would blow the salary cap, well mine at least...
-
Sorry to hear that, hope your pup is on the mend and better soon. I'll see if we can get your pup added to the player universe so Penhook can roster them.
-
and for some reason it keeps removing me from all email notifications and won't let me re-apply to be emailed...
-
Sorry guys. Missed draft last night. Was at vet last night, dog blew out his ACL unfortunately so was tied up all night dealing with that.
-
Good luck to everyone.

In the past we did kind of a halftime break so that people could take a bathroom break. In the past few years we have had pretty speedy auctions that have finished in < 2 hours. We will plan for a 5-minute break at the 1:15 mark if and only if it seems like the auction is going to run for more than another hour or if there is demand among the league for the break. We'll take a poll around that time.
-
As in the past, we allow each team to take one and only one 5-minute time out which is intended for emergencies. In year one we had a team drafting through an Ohio tornado. We've had someone in year 2 or 3 lose internet. If you have some kind of weird thing happening that requires a TO, you have one to use.
-
Happy Draft Day, some reminders/notes re our league settings. Please be mindful that each person is required to nominate during the auction. If you don't nominate you end up locked out of the auction. Then either Snells or I has to open a new tab and put you back in the auction. So please be mindful of that, as it puts 2/12 of the league at a competitive disadvantage during the auction to have to repeatedly take focus off the draft to administer it.
-
Done!
-
Please cut Aristides Aquino from the Cheese Weasels. See you all at draft tonite!
-
I’ll get on there tomorrow morning. Traveling until late in the night. I’ll complete any requests by 7pm EST, an hour prior to the draft.

Gambler you've made your point if you have any further objections to the league and the adjustments made to the rules please address them to me, Snells, or both via PM.
-
This is ridiculous. I can't even begin to understand why someone is getting so defensive about a fantasy league that is probably not even going to happen and if it does happen will include roughly 15% roster overturn in a shortened season. HOW FUN! Tough spot for the comissioner's. Never going to make everyone happy. This isn't anyone's fault so let's try NOT pointing fingers or slinging insults...also because (I think) we're all adults. Sheeesh.
-
I should have never been allowed to cut Machado and Sale, but again, this is not my league or my rules. I don't think the league would have voted for this rule.
-
Yes, Snell this is my point. As co-commish, I would have thought when you imposed the rule on the league three weeks ago, you would have solved that ethical dilemma in your mind. It is strange you had not.
It looks like chicken is really the 20 year old, no longer able to actually have a debate with words.

All I was saying is that I have decided to cut players. I wasn't going to at first because I don't necessarily agree with the ethics of cutting players who are out by virtue of TJS or cancer as opposed to COVID and made a post stating as much. But after consideration I determined I would cut them to give myself the best opportunity to compete in this (hopefully) unique season. Just figured I'd acknowledge my decision to change my mind before anyone noted it.
-
Honestly, I shouldn't have been allowed to cut Machado, or in my mind Sale. I just took advantage of the rules you made to gain extra money at the auction. No other league I am in has made this odd cut rule, only you. Buster Posey was worth a $1 a month ago and is worth $1 today.
-
Chicken tried to cancel the season and Otto told him we had to play it.
-
I just think this league is strange. Your post made it sound like you were being considerate about cutting players when the decision has already been made, and yes I am playing by the rules you and chicken made. Chicken has made it clear this is his league and he has 10 votes to my 1 vote. The league, and by league I mean Chicken, actually didn't vote to move forward on the season. Nothing as democratic as a vote has ever happened in this league.
-
If players' values have not changed why did you cut three of them? What's Buster Posey worth now compared to three months ago? Price? Zimmerman? You're complaining about something that you are the one person to take big advantage of so maybe consider chilling out so you don't sound like one of those guys in their 20s who "discovered" stats 18 months ago and became immediately insufferable.
-
Jesus man why do you think that I or we are trying to do something shady? I did not want to have a season at all this year because of all of the unknowns. But obviously the majority of the league that weighed in wanted to have a season. We made this decision to try and help people remain competitive given the probably bizarre nature of this season. Obviously you didn't see anything wrong with the decision to cut as you took advantage of it.
-
I have done drafts before the suspension and after. You know Chicken, players' values haven't really changed much, so you are not as smart as you think you are about postponing the draft.
-
My point is that he made that post after he told the whole league they could cut players a month ago. It seems like if you are going to impose a rule on the league you would be damn sure it is for the good of the league. Yes, I cut players Chicken. I am playing by YOUR rules. Geez, this league is really something else.
-
We let you cut $95 worth of salary. Snells isn't allowed to shed half that prior to the draft? Because what?
-
The purpose of the cuts prior to our (very smartly, you're welcome) delayed draft is to ensure that every owner in this league has the best opportunity and the most information with which to compete in a house-of-cards circus of a year.
-
Is he not allowed to take part in the same rules changes we've afforded the other 11 owners? I'm also one of the co-commish, I'm the deliverer of that news, and I'm not cutting anyone. This wasn't a plot for the two of us to take your $: we both don't want to play for $ in 2020.Because this season is unique, and we're being forced to play our $100 in a dumb year that they prob won't complete but MLB will define as complete, that rule has been installed so that people can be competitive.
-
Snell - aren’t you one of the co-commishes who imposed this rule on us without a vote? (I really don’t understand this league.)
