Ahem. What has two thumbs and more IL players than thumbs and fingers put together? THIS guy.
And I don't play with fireworks -- or play in OPL for that matter. So seriously, 11 IL guys on this roster.
-
If I have another player go on the IL the day I pick them up, I might quit. I think that's the fourth or fifth time this year.
-
I'm tempted to start more auctions just for maximum chaos.
-
Updated my trade block. Willing to give up 1 higher value guy for 2 good producers. Willing to accept loans that push me over coupon limit. Not interested in prospects. Prefer hitters but will consider good SP's and very good RP's.

Lars Nootbaar: Greatest baseball name ever, or merely the best since Sicnarf Loopstok?
-
The 12:30 start today was a little rude.
-
I adjusted Arenado's salary for sure, so maybe it's an issue that was corrected at some point.
-
Hmm, looking at Arenado, that seems like it may not be uniformly true--but it looks to be the case for some others (e.g., Gerrit Cole).
-
The dates on the production page can be a little misleading for some players--it resets whenever there's a commissioner action to change salary (e.g., any time an arbitration coupon is used). So there might actually be an original holdout still lurking out there.
-
i also used to hang out with Cistulli back when i lived in Madison, WI and his wife was in grad school there. we once played strat-o with a milwaukee brewers blogger (mike bates) at a coffee shop.
-
we had brandon warne, who is a nice guy, but never put much effort into his team.
-
i’ve been here since the beginning, too. acuna has been a tough competitor and former champ. back in the early days of ottoneu, they used to have a staff writer in each league.
-
Oh cool! There must have been a change to the system in 2015. Anyone else?
-
I am an original member of this league. Been very fortunate with all the turnover to continue to get great owners to keep us going.
-
Wow. Never noticed that. Arenado is this league's precious heirloom.
-
Oh cool, you can actually see everyone's production page. The longest tenured player (by far) in the league now is Mike Moustakas (Muskies, 2015 draft).
-
I think the whole league has turned over since 2015 or so.
-
No, I came in in 2016. But Nolan's been on this team's roster since Day 1.
-
OMG you've been in this league the whole time? Has anyone else been here from the beginning?
-
I did notice that I was cornering the market on a particular price point
-
End of an era for you Richard. It would seem that the new era involves all $15 guys having traded for four of them and hanging onto the $15 Donaldson. Sadly I have no $15 players to offer.
-
Arenado has been on my team's roster since the original draft in 2012. Was he the last in the league like that? He was the last holdover guy from when I inherited the team in 2016, too.
-
Motivated to sell either $38 Arenado or $15 Donaldson in the next couple days. Could be fully paid for for a reasonable prospect or a similar value non-3B.
-
word of caution—i didn’t realize there’s a new symbol for ‘followers’ and accidentally put colin mchugh in an SP slot last night.
-
In related news, I am in the market for starting pitching. Grandal and his fun slash line is especially available.

Bieber, Scherzer & Glasnow now on the IL. Last healthy pitcher, please turn off the lights.
-
It's borderline comical that another guy I just picked up is on the IL.
-
So guys, it turns out that my team is terrible and likely isn't going to turn things around. Injuries have just decimated me. If you want any of my pricey good players (Machado, Turner, Springer) hit me up.
-
croney’s points are good as well. :)
-
sounds good—maybe we just keep the coupon system then. chuck makes some good points and if no one else is dying to play prestige league, then it might make sense to stay the course.
-
Just want to state for the record I was only going to try this Prestige league once, even before I heard of next year's ban. So I'm cool with keeping the coupon system.
-
I don't mind keeping the coupon system as long as the rewards are geared toward maintaining active rosters and reaching game/IP limits. We do have a good group of owners, but that extra incentive doesn't hurt. Plus I find applying the coupon points to be kind of a fun wrinkle for the offseason.
-
Dave i think the reason we are using the coupon system is still valid when i first came into the league we had massive prospect hoarding plus once teams were no longer competitive they had no interest in managing there teams. I do agree that we have a great group of current owners but think the coupon system keep teams fighting to be compete through out the year even when they have no chance to win Thanks Chuck

we can always vote on whether to just scrap the coupon system after we finish the next arb cycle. it was intended to discourage prospect hoarding and encourage people to stay active, which i sense won’t be as much of an issue with the current group of owners.
-
But I respect the desire to level the playing field and in a couple of years they might get close but they'll never eliminate non-competitive leagues where 2 or 3 teams dominate and the rest of the league checks out allowing the dominators to cherry pick talent for $1 apiece from June thru Sept. That's the opposite of our league. (3/3)
-
The irony is that we suspended the coupon rule for our league this year so it's not contributing to my run, especially when compared to some leagues where they not only suspended arbitration last yr but also league wide $2 raises. Those teams will enjoy an OPL advantage for years even as they turn back on standard Ottoneu rules this yr. (2/3)
-
Thanks, Dave. I've had a good run of luck so far. As for the Prestige League, this is probably a one off. Next year they're going to ban teams from leagues with any rule that deflates salaries in any way, including coupon systems like ours. There's a Nivshah thread in the Community Pages that speaks to the ban. (1/3)
-
and in the final 32! bring it home!
-
Rusty is current number 2 overall in the prestige league!! Go Rusty!!!
-
done—thank you, croney
-
Commish please reset Ryan Jeffers's salary to $4. He was on my roster to start this season at that value. Thank you.
-
I picked up Michael Fulmer and he goes to the DL. I didn't even know he was an outfielder.
-
rizzo is very available for a prospect or value player.
-
If anyone wants to do a multiple guys from me for one guy from you deal, I’m highly motivated right now—anything that’s an upgrade over my current positional starters, a usable catcher, or a good SP wanted!!
-
done, thanks for requesting that—I don’t monitor these things, so it’s on the honor system.
-
Dave, at your convenience can you raise Hunter Renfroe's salary from $3 to $5?
-
I held J.A. Happ for one last outing because it was against the royals...
-
