Jose Fernandez is available - looking for C, OF, UTIL or more pitching ... come at me?
-
that was quick! Guess I'll tray the same approach
-
Ha... I never made an offer. Just seems weird that all of a sudden he's available and you post it at the exact same time as you accept a trade. You got good return though, so good for you.
-
yeah but I'm not interested in overvalued players.
-
I think I asked on Xander 2-3 times?
-
Xander available last second for big bat or pitcher. Come at me

I still vehemently disagree with this. If you think it is a good idea to put somebody on your roster at that amount of money then that is the risk you take. No one is telling you to do that. I have never been a proponent of it but I've done it this offseason with Stanton, if I pay the price I do.
-
It's already causing drama so I'm gonna say we probably shouldn't bother with this

Isn't that just the risk you take by rostering a pitcher that takes up 10% of your roster? You will be just as out of contention if that injury happens post-auction.
-
It's not about Josh Johnson at $5-6. It's about $50 Kershaws, $50 Felixes, $40 Scherzers, Strasburgs, etc. I feel like if you lose a player who is tying up 10% of your budget between keeper day and draft day you should be allowed to drop that player for free because a freak physical injury should not take you out of competition in the league for a year.
-
Yeah I am not a fan of this idea at all. If you were dumb enough to pay Josh Johnson anything that is your own fault. On the other hand how can you avoid it with a guy like say, Max Scherzer? I definitely am against this rule.
-
I thought the idea was great to the point of obviousness. You lose an expensive SP to TJS and there's insurance (like MLB teams have) on the salary. You get salary relief for the year, a roster spot in the auction. I guess there's not support for it so I'll drop it.
-
as long as it is a strict, one person per team, season ending injury only type of rule, we shouldnt have problems overall. If it doest voted through

So I have procrastinated.... But getting serious here at the deadline. Looking to move and OF & a SP for some MI help and/or RP. Will take on prospects as well.
-
I like the idea of the rule, but there would have to be 100% clear cut guidelines. I would be in favor of tabling this for this season to discuss it's implementation for 2016. Also, thank you so much for jinxing David Price.....
-
The slope sure is slippery. I can just see drama over someone being allowed to do so and someone else not already.
-
I'm changing my mind to No. This is a bit of a slippery slope.

I'm not looking for gray area: pitchers with season ending injuries only. I guess if a position player had one it could be same but it has to beca clear cut season ended like Tommy John or a blown out knee. I guess we could include any season long PED suspension. Any player known to be losing the entirety of the next season.
-
I suggested cutting anyone just to remove the gray area on who deserves this sort of treatment
-
As far as cutting anyone, injury or not, no way. You keep a guy who has a lousy spring training and who looks like he's suddenly 500 years old, that's a different thing. You see who cut who at the deadline and realize "ah, I should have cut that one extra $24 guy" that's a different scenario. That's strategy not uncontrollable hard luck.
-
However, Otto does not allow for changing the keeper date. So this is IMO the next best scenario. Basically, it's to make sure a team does not throw $100 in entry fee down the toilet on something he did right but was well beyond his control. It's not a failure to project breakout/regression/collapse, it's a random weird thing that happens.
-
Benders, the reason behind it is you can have your season wrecked by something that's entirely out of your control. Keeping $38 David Price, who put up like 1300 pts last year, is reasonable. No one expects his arm to fall off and the price is ok for the output. Say his elbow pops his 2nd ST start. The team owning him enters the draft with 40% of his draft restricted by Price's season-ending injury. It's beyond your control, and ideally I could move the keeper date to like 2 weeks before draft.
-
I say yes, but just to a season ending injury during spring training

And you could cut anyone - injured or not
-
What if the rule was just that you could make 1 more cut up until 24 hours before the auction? Would prevent arguing over if a guy costs enough to warrant release or if there is just speculation about an injury (vs confirmed diagnosis)
-
So 1/31/2015 9:00 pm PDT is my cut deadline? Crikey...gotta get busy.
-
I don't agree with the rule change, to me it shouldn't matter if a guy gets hurt in February versus April. Every pitcher has the risk of his arm falling off.
-
Yes, that should be a rule.
-
I'm thinking of scenarios like Wainwright a few years ago, who's expensive. A situation like that, if you've held him at $30+ for the draft, it can wreck your season. I can use the Commish tools to remove a player without penalty, and I think that's a good way to work around having the keeper date and the draft date so far apart.
-
All ottoneu times are EST.
-
Also, is that deadline 1/31 PDT or ?
-
Yes.
-
I have a thought re a new rule. If you have a pitcher who you keep at the deadline, but who has a season-ending injury before the draft, you may drop him without a salary cap or other penalty. Please vote yes or no. I think it's a great idea so no one gets screwed at auction.
