I think the message board is a good place for these discussions. What makes the trade egregious to me is if Fulminators wanted these prospects he could've had them for $1 without needing a trade - simply bid on them at auction over the last 3 weeks.
-
I knew what you were saying. It is so tough to get a veto (even though I won't be voting to veto this trade) without any type of discussion. In another league of mine, a less than normal valued Trout (I think like $57) was traded for three non-elite RP's and could not even get more than two veto votes.

Good points. I think its a bad trade, too, but that doesn't particularly matter as the only recourse we have available is to veto. That was my only point. I'm definitely not trying to discourage posting. I think we could use more of it.
-
Not to mention that even if there is an egregious trade, Ottoneu makes it pretty difficult to veto since you need 7 out of 10 (not counting the two teams in the trade). In this league, it would only be out of 9 since we have the dead team. Saying that, I am cool with teams bringing up objections on the message board because it isn't as easy as just voting to veto a trade that someone thinks is not fair.

I honestly don't find this trade to be as bad as others. Would I have made it? No, but others may have different opinions of certain prospects than I do. The thing not being discussed is with 1B only guys is that it is tough to get fair value for them. Almost every team already has a good one. If they don't, they can get Moreland on the wire, who is basically doing the same as Davis.

I hate in season veto in most cases but that is basically giving Chris Davis away. Not only we're both guys just picked up on waivers, but nobody else even bid on them!

Two prospects with 20%ish ownership was enough for Davis? I need to make more offers.
-
That's why there is a veto option.

So are we just trading guys for anything now? Chris Davis gets traded for 2 guys who were picked up for $1 in the last 3 weeks. Pretty ridiculous if you ask me.

Yeah, you guys should have a fun race over the next few months. I say if we don't hear back soon then we go ahead and fill the spot ASAP. I know if it were me I'd rather have the chance to sell and rebuild in-season as opposed to starting in the off season.
-
Agreed. The flip side is if we wait until after the season to find a replacement owner the team will be much less attractive to potential players - the chance to try to rebuild this season and competing in first full season is attractive. My biggest concern is the fire sale affecting what is shaping up to be a great title race, but technically the current owner could still have had that effect anyway.
-
One thing to consider is how disruptive to the league it will be for a new, active manager to step into a firesale situation. Maybe that's the optimal scenario in terms of overall fairness, but it'll probably decrease parity for this year.
-
Makes sense. I haven't gotten a response from him either.
-
Wolverines hasn't logged in since April 18th and has not been responding to trade offers or messages. Do you think we should look to replace? I'm going to email directly.

Looking to buy aggressively on SP's and hitters (SS preferably first) at this point. Willing to trade away any prospects, young guys, or DL guys that can get me win-now talent without limiting my chances for this season. Please send offers or a message if interested. Going to be away for a few days, but will check while on vacation. Thanks.

Looking to make a move for a C, RP, and/or cap space. Have depth at OF, SP, maybe MI.
A bit of extra loan could make me take a deal I wouldn't otherwise take.

Looking to acquire a high-end SP that isn't injured. Will use prospects, younger guys, or guys like Skaggs or Britton to get it done.

Ah, perfect. Thank you! I was actually looking all over that site but couldn't figure it out. Thanks!
-
Just click on the individual player to bring up each batted ball for the season.
-
Try this. https://baseballsavant.mlb.com/statcast_leaderboard
It's not perfect but you can see each batted ball and the data you're looking for. There isn't really any way to "gather" the data that I have found yet, but if you're looking at a specific player the raw numbers are there.
-
Anyone know how/where to look up launch angle for players? Like, where could I look up all the batted balls player X has hit and see the data on launch angles?
-
Ugh, just as Laser powers past me on the strength of what may be the best offense in all of Ottoneu so far I love Thor for a month or more.
