I have a team in that league also. The “Flying Squirrels” in that league is diluting your brand.
-
Interesting! They need to get that name changed I don't like the idea of someone possibly misrepresenting the Flying Squirrel name! Although I guess that's what I get for abandoning!
-
In my other three leagues, Posey is owned by one team which so happens to be named the Flying Squirrels, the owner hasn't changed the name since you abandoned it. Votto is owned in my three other leagues which the Flying Squirrels also rosters in that same league.

Detroit, sometimes the consensus is wrong, more than one would think when it comes to this game. I have no room for either on my roster, but it is reasonable possible both players could be rosterable this season.

Granted considering Spa couldn't find any takers for Rizzo, I doubt anyone will be interested in Votto and Posey.
-
Haha thank you Detroit! That is correct.
-
Actually that does look to be the case as both seem to be third options at the positions -- Olson/Cron/Votto at 1B and Perez/Vazquez/Posey at C is how I'd order them. Votto and Posey are both rostered in 75% of leagues so assuming they have value isn't a reach.
-
Because your team is so good?
-
Anyone have holes at catcher or 1B? I've got Posey and Votto who may be old, but they should both be super solid contributors and they're both upset that they won't get enough playing time on my team.
-
OF needed. I can't have Scott Kingery as an OF in my starting lineup.
-
Somebody must be in “win now” mode. Rizzo has a ton of value (auction price $30, and I am willing to pay his salary). He looks great this spring, and his down year in 2020 was based on a fluke .218 BABIP in a crazy season). I have Alonso and Vlad for 1B, and would like to make a move to either add P, C, or OF.
-
I would like to trade from a position where I have depth (1B) for positions I am weaker (SP, RP, OF, C). I would trade Anthony Rizzo, and pay all of his salary, if they right deal comes along.
-
I also agree that the trade is very even. I just don't like that it makes the Clowns better for this year. Buxton is 27, but yeah still young enough and with enough raw talent that I still think a huge breakout could happen.
-
Mondesi and Buxton are at that 25-26 age where they have huge breakout seasons. I think you will see a big improvement in offensive pop from both players.
-
Yeah Squirrels, I wouldn't worry about keeping up with the Clowns. Detroit, I think that was a good trade for your team. In terms of value I think the trade is dead even.
-
Clowns and I are on opposite ends of that risk. we'll see how it plays out. Thats why its so cool!
-
An honest evaluation of a trade after the season is always a good idea. I'll be sure to share either my embarrassment/elation/or something in between depending on how things shake out. All the value on the Clowns side was not future value only, they did just gave up their best SP.My risk is really about who is Ketel Marte? The home run stud from 2019 -if so it's going to be difficult/impossible for me to look back fondly. Or the every Marte year except that one where he has shown very little pwr
-
Yeah Clowns just got even scarier adding Muncy and Marte to the infield. I have been working hard to try to keep up with him, but that trade just made it much harder.
-
I can see my title hopes dim daily. But I love being in a league this active. (Side note: still shopping potential 2021 MVP candidate Adalberto Mondesi 😁)
-
Can I interest anybody in one of my shortstops?
-
Busy day in this league 👍🏻
-
Ha thanks for the advice, but I'm definitely going into the season with the thought that I can win it.
-
I was kidding. I think Detroit nailed it. He probably has a 35%-40% chance at winning the league. Squirrels, you should be selling.
-
When you have Evan White as your primary 1B, you have some holes to fill. I assume Clowns will make moves and be difficult but not impossible to beat. If they make no moves, I'd bet the field against them. Having said that, it wont be me beating them so good luck! Inherited roster was not good then I messed up draft day so I'm out. Selling current value for future where it makes sense. If you got an idea, let me know!
-
I am 1000% sure he is joking. But if anybody is looking to sell CV for FV I am also a buyer.
-
I'll buy as well.
-
Well if you want to I will buy! I feel like I have a reasonable chance of hanging with him.
-
There is no way anyone can beat the Clowns this year. I might as well start selling.
-
Is anybody looking to move a 2B or RP? Nit necessarily a star - I’m in the market for depth. I have some $ so I can give loans.
-
I had these guys last year and finished fourth. Hopefully I get more than 16 games played at C this season

Oh yeah he is the favorite, but still is a long season. All it takes is an injury, some regression, or just some bad luck and any team could fall apart.
-
I’m not conceding yet. He does have the best OF I have ever seen in ottoneu, but let’s play out the season before he gets the crown.
-
I agree 100%. They can probably be middle of the pack everywhere else and win the league because of that OF.
-
I have to admit, Indianapolis’ Clowns OF makes them the favorite imo. It puts almost everyone else at a 1,000pt disadvantage barring injuries.

Got what I was going for, but not sure I scooped any real bargains to crow about.

Honestly like my Votto for $4, I like a lot of the $1 guys I got too though.
-
Good point. Carlson and Kim probably co-winners.
-
Happy to get Chris Sale back at $13 when I cut him for $27... now I want to see him on the mound!

Soon to be rookie of the year Ha-Seong Kim.

What player is everyone's favorite addition from the auction? Mine: Victor Gonzalez $1

Why yes James Dean was a hoosier, but I have never met him. I'm kidding of course, there are plenty of good looking people in Indiana.

I’m utterly unqualified to judge good looking men but I know a good looking roster when I see one- nice job
-
Wasn’t James Dean a hoosier?
-
I don't think I've met anyone from Indianapolis that I would consider handsome.

He also has 3 very good SP and several top RP. If his team stays healthy he will be tough.
-
Clowns probably has what I would rank as 5 of the top 7 bats in the game.
