• I disagree, Long Con. I think that a .300 on base will translate well two levels above.

  Penhook Heroes on September 10, 2014 6:59 PM

• 161-23 K/BB ratio......... you can have that all day

  🍁Votto's RCMP on September 10, 2014 6:35 PM

• Not complaining. I like getting a guy with 35 bombs at AA at age 22 for a buck.

  Sealanta Sooners on September 10, 2014 6:29 PM

• Currently a-rising. Only Amnesty and BI have more points since the break. Guess you're not noticing. I'd change my name to Long Con but it's taken.

  Sealanta Sooners on September 10, 2014 6:26 PM

• At some point, when you take so long to a-rise even a little bit, people stop worrying about you arising :)

  Countdown To Extra Base Hits on September 10, 2014 5:41 PM

• You guys should be more worried about me getting guys like Moya for $1 than you are in cheapening your cap penalties. Love, the guy w/ the 3rd most points since the ASB, a bunch of young cheap talent, and ~$100 to spend in the next auction. #arise2015

  Sealanta Sooners on September 10, 2014 5:38 PM

• They are cut because they aren't good at their current prices. At the very least, re-auctioning and cutting them keeps cutting down their $ number which does eventually make them roster-able for the rest of the league.

  Soylent Slurm Redux on September 8, 2014 9:21 AM

• You do realize all these players suck though right?

  Big Papi memories on September 8, 2014 9:14 AM

• You guys had an ENTIRE MONTH to bid on Crawford and Kelly Johnson and shit!!!! So that they are on auction now and are going to be picked up then dropped within 2 hours is totally normal and not gaming the system at all.

  Sealanta Sooners on September 8, 2014 2:49 AM

• Game the system? You cut a guy and everyone else as an entire month to decide if the want that guy. Why shouldn't you be able to resign a guy after a month?

  Penhook Heroes on September 3, 2014 6:22 PM

• ....of course if you have $60 in incoming fucking loans it's pretty goddamn easy to stream players to a certain extent, and if you game the system to reduce your cap penalty from like $70 to $40 it's even fucking easier I guess

  Sealanta Sooners on September 3, 2014 6:12 PM

• I fell victim to one of the classic blunders - The most famous of which is never get involved in a land war in Asia - but only slightly less well-known is this: "Never start a subpar pitcher (Vogelsong) in Colorado during a day game"

  WTF on September 3, 2014 5:26 PM

• I fucking hate this shit of auctioning shitty guys 30 days after you cut them so you can reduce your fucking cap penalty which is gamesmanship ^ 20 and aking to streaming players like some BS Yahoo league and something I hope Niv fixes for next year.

  Sealanta Sooners on September 3, 2014 1:18 PM

• I bid $40 on Rusney to make sure he's in the auction next year, and was not picked up for a steal then held. I'm not competing this year. I'm dropping him for next year.

  Sealanta Sooners on August 28, 2014 11:17 PM

• Hahaha! that's great.

  Big Papi memories on August 28, 2014 11:17 PM

• Our league is famous for having the high bidder on Rusney by far: http://www.fangraphs.com/fantasy/ottoneu-bidding-on-rusney-castillo/

• Looking to move Anibal Sanchez ($16) with other pieces for a starting pitcher.

  Penhook Heroes on August 27, 2014 11:25 AM

• The whole can't start a player 5 minutes before gametime can suck it. I had 2 minutes to flip Rizzo and Martinez.

• I meant compared to all of the other Ottoneu leagues.

  Penhook Heroes on August 24, 2014 7:04 PM

• The high water mark is always the same: $1 more than the losing bid.

  Sealanta Sooners on August 24, 2014 7:03 PM

• I think $31 is the high water mark.

  Flying Circus Monkeys on July 24, 2014 11:30 PM

• Let's see what Niv says. It's a legit question that Dizzy is asking him, and is something that he should add for next year for a number of reasons. Possible collusion, owners not paying attention to budgets, not paying attention to trades and absenteeing.

  Sealanta Sooners on July 24, 2014 11:14 PM

• But I'd vote to vote in it, for sure.

  Pirate Fan on July 24, 2014 9:05 PM

• If they were maxed out beforehand.

  Pirate Fan on July 24, 2014 9:04 PM

• Problem is deciding on cap level. $1 prospect Trout for $51 Verlander would have been plenty realistic and fair back in the day, but a $450 roster for the buyer.

  Pirate Fan on July 24, 2014 9:03 PM

• Waiting period would even be soft penalty for going through with illegal trade.

  Pirate Fan on July 24, 2014 9:01 PM

• Even without Niv's formal intervention, wouldn't be hard to enforce a hard cap. If everyone's paying attention, just veto.

  Pirate Fan on July 24, 2014 9:00 PM

• Thanks do contacting Niv. I'm sure he will agree. Will the change happen by morning? Should cut Strasburg now to save time? I HAVE TO DUMP SALARY HIT ME UP WITH OFFERS
