By the way, is there a written and/or published charter for this league?
-
I mean, it doesn't say gross either, and total could be ambiguous. But gross is the right choice.
-
Yeah, it doesn't say net, so it can't be net.
-
The more I think about it, the more I think that it should be gross. You could cut players at the end of the year and give out loans to get under the cap -- not that anyone would reasonably do that.
-
FWIW, I interpreted it to be net loans, but I have no preference.

here's a link to the arb coupon rule: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1bJ6GGjkw-1jNnzTNCeECL99NtbAKOIerIY0vRZ-FpNk/edit#gid=0
-
hey everyone--the arbitration coupons are taxed in relation to the amount of "total incoming loans." i understand that language to mean that it's the gross incoming loans, which wouldn't be netted against any outgoing loans. in other words, if i have incoming loans of $100 and outgoing loans of $75, it's still a 100% tax on my arb coupon. does that sound right to everyone?
-
That was a total value grab, I'm officially desperate for a 1B if anyone has one to move
-
Oh I know. And it fits with the format. Just funny to see that discrepancy in the same night.
-
I mean, there is a difference between a guy giving up a hit and getting two outs vs. a guy facing the entire lineup without them putting the ball in play
-
I got a 4.33-point save tonight. This format may overrate strikeouts, considering how common they are now.
-
holy moly! don't think i've seen that one before.

So a 38 point save is good, rightt?

Poor Corey Seager.
-
Hmmm... I guess Starlin Castro did play today, but his negative hitting numbers (I have a lot of them) weren't tabulated till this evening. That's a whole nother issue....
-
ah, you're right. even if he appears as a defensive sub, it still counts.

hmm, possibly--i don't know how Niv tracks defensive subs. i agree that it's a bit irritating though.
-
by the letter of the rules its any appearance -- presumably a defensive sub would count
-
was gonna say, i did not think they counted, that would have been a huge oversight on my part. i do hate that an 0-1 pinch hitter counts as a game, so it's usually good to get your inactive guys out anyway
-
they don't count against your limit unless they actually have a PA in the game.
-
By far the most irritating thing about Ottoneu is that active hitters who don't see the field count against your game limits. This wouldn't be so bad save for the fact that Ottoneu is very inaccurate with lineups. I've had players shown as active who didn't actually start two days running now. It's happened 5-6 times overall.

There is definitely an overhead to managing a daily league. Nothing like having one player slotted in not playing with a other on the bench with three hits, a homer and a steal

We’re getting close to my annual Steve Pearce pickup.

wish i had bid a bit more on adam ottovino. https://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/no-one-is-doing-what-adam-ottavino-is-doing/
-
All right, I'll let you know when I hear back.
-
Well, not sure it'd be fair to the new owner to have the person just keep the seat warm. But we always have attrition every year, so we should be able to work something out. WD--if your friend is interested they should sign up for a fangraphs account. Once they do that, please forward their username to me and I should be able to transfer the team.
-
I do agree with Wildman, though. Check in with him in January and see if he's in better circumstances and wants to return. Can always reassign the roster at that point if need be.
-
I know someone who might be interested.
-
Yeah, I don’t think that will work. Having a ghost ship franchise for the season would mess things up. As commissioner, I can’t set the team’s lineups.
