Ok, that problem was solved with the conclusion of the Ozuna auction. Thanks!

Any reason why Chuck Finley has been in red since winning the Machado auction? I guess that more cuts are forthcoming still, as the team is not valid?

Thanks! I've been just below the top 50 for a while, fun to actually be in the board. I can't believe there are some teams that already cracked 16k

Woah, nice job Dave!

Looking to trade J. Ramirez for an OF or RP. He’s been disappointing this year but starting to heat up and could be a good contract for next year if he turns the corner. Willing to make up difference in salary to make a deal happen before he deadline :)

For some reason, the system isn't updating our message board when I've made updates to my Trade Block. So, this is the official announcement.. I guess.

thanks for the generous offer. but the cap penalty is a small price to pay for the silliness of the situation and the not small impetus to re-evaluate my whiskey consumption in the wee hours of the weekend. baseball is hard, and so is life... if you're dumb. :)

According to the auction page, Chris Davis was nominated for auction by Ourobouros. Seems to me like this was an honest mistake. I propose to give a free cut to eliminate him from the roster.

i am currently confused about reality. i don't remember nominating davis or bidding on him. i do recall publicly applauding the move as a thoughtful gesture because he is so obviously (in my view) unrosterable. and now he's on my team. so i'm stumped. i silently pledged to myself this morning to no longer think things out loud, and informally banned myself from posting on this message board in the hope that the baseball gods will stop messing with my mind and my salary cap penalties. :(
-
maybe davis is back. that'd be alright with me.
-
i appreciate the symbolic move to nominate chris davis. i had contemplated it as an act of solidarity, but thought better of it. i hope it turns out good for all the peoples. he deserves better. baseball is hard.

Ted Williams is my hero. Also, imagine if Babe Ruth didn't play drunk and if he had taken it more seriously... And he was a pitcher. Blows the mind. GOAT.

thanks dave. that's super clutch. my clicking fingers thank you.
-
Thanks for the tip, Dave - so many fewer clicks to make! On a related note, I found this nugget on my team's news page about Ken Giles: "Giles is unavailable to pitch Friday after sleeping on his shoulder wrong."

Alright league, check this out: select your team up top, then choose news from the options on the 2nd line to see all your team's news on one page. Congratulations, you're life has been forever transformed!

Completely agree with Ouroboros! I also can’t stop looking at my roster. Maintaining competitiveness is very important, and active owners and a great commissioner are key. Seems we have both. Looking forward to the season.

thanks to all for making the draft go so smoothly yesterday.
i feel really good about how all of the owners have positioned themselves for the season.
it's always my goal to have this be the most competitive league in ottoneu.
i think that we will be that this year. i'm excited for all the things.
and i can't stop checking my roster to stare at all the shiny new things santa brought.
baseball is fun.
-
hey all, a few things.
it'd be swell if everyone logged in by 4:20 or so to make sure there are no last minute hiccups.
the first few rounds always have a few people who can't remember how to nominate. reacquaint yourself with the process and have a few names ready and queued up.
the draft goes as long as there is someone with money and spots. so strategize accordingly, but feel free to up and leave as soon as you got what you came for.
text or call me with any questions (215) 287-4994.
-
Lmao
-
this won't work, but is anyone planning on being late to/forgetting or otherwise complicating the start of the draft on saturday? if so, please raise your hand.
-
Jofer rule is all good by me.
-
but maybe i'm wrong. remind if so.
-
alright. i'm gonna cut him. sorry for the worst telenovela of all time in terms of arc and ending. as an addendum, as i can remember it, and would thus like it to be, the policy of this league has been that if a player dies in real life then they are solemnly and unceremoniously removed from the team that they were on with on effect on the cap. i feel strongly that this is a human rule and would probably to adversarial if others were vociferously opposed to it for moral or other reasons.
-
ok. i would cut cueto if literally no one cares and thinks it's legit. if anyone (literally anyone) is at all even a tad queasy about the whole shebang, just message me or peep out loud in some other non-conspicuous manner and i happily won't. that's currently where i'm at. good either way though. thanks all.
-
Ditto, I'm fine with being able to cut players up until the draft if they are out for the year . . . like Cueto.

I am fine with cutting Cueto and/or anyone seriously injured before the draft as that has been standard in this league. Not a fan of the free one cut rule. Good luck to all.
-
Then again, if the conclusion is that there will be no free cuts whatsoever, I will not be the one making a problem.
Theoretically, you could make a trade with a new owner to swap a cheap player for Cueto and the new owner then cuts him for free as part of his slate of cuts... Just saying, if you really want to get rid of him, you could...
