Welcome to the league Detroit! I think your request to restore the prior owner’s cuts is perfectly reasonable.
-
Welcome! Those DMs must be *fire emoji*

Trade block updated - question commish, anyway I can have access to players the former owner cut?

Hi, I'm here - looks like I'm taking over a young child's team, so I'll try to act mature. Long time ottoneu player looking for a new challenge, most of my leagues have folded over the years so it's nice joining an established one. Looking forward to getting started

Yeah good idea. I'll get around to it this afternoon.

I agree hopefully we can all be good going forward about just enjoying baseball together. Looks like we need to replace Cleveland Baseball Team and Abbotsford Lumberjacks. Would be great if we could get owners before the cut deadline. Everyone ask your friends, and Winnetka could you post on the community owners needed forum?
-
I think so too. But more important is whether we are going to be a group of people lashing out over bullshit because someone gets their panties in a bunch or whether we are 12 grown men that can enjoy the game. Let's get rid of anybody who is going to pull internet tough guy crap, and find normal guys who can enjoy baseball.
-
Yeah personally I think Spa got the better end of the deal here.
-
Squirrels makes some very valid points. I don't think my team necessarily got better. Time will tell. Cleveland is clearly out of line and has hurled several insults at Spa City and myself. He has requested his team to be abandoned. I will grant him his wish.

Yeah I don't get the fight here? Spa got a deal he liked and he took it. Its too bad you couldn't strike a deal first, and nobody likes seeing Winnetka's team get better instead of our own but thats how this game works. Also I think anyone could post about their players on this board thats kind of the point of having a message board?
-
Before we all pay for another year, can we decide if everybody hates each other too much to have it be fun? Is it going to be like this the whole year? Nobody knows each other. We all have jobs and families and are probably nicer in real life. It's just an online baseball game for no prize. You guys are so mad over nothing.
-
Looking to trade Kyle Freeland. I know he has no value. In ‘18 he was solid, and in ‘20 he was useable. At $7 he seems like he’s overpriced. Looking for somebody of similar value, overpriced and probably a cut.
-
Well this should be a fun year in fantasy baseball. Do you assholes need to get into toughy-guy fights over this shit?
-
I love you too.
-
Spa - Don't be a tool or an angry grandpa, oh wait...It's too late

No.

Can you just stop using a message board as a hype chat for your players Spa City? If you want to trade someone update your trade block and hype up players to individual teams if you want.
-
Can't you guys hug this out ;^)
-
U had both of them available, didn't you? I offered you some really good pieces

Your message to me, “I would trade anything for WSF.” I made you an offer, and you rejected it. I made another offer, and you countered asking for K’Bryan Hayes also. So much for “I would trade anything for WSF.”
-
That's bush league man. You are shifty and u know it!

Winnetka gave up one of the best shortstops in the game (Mondesi) at a lower salary than Franco, and the 2nd best prospect in baseball (Kelenic) at half Franco’s salary. I think that deal works out great for me.
-
CBT - How many offers of mine did you reject? Especially after you said you would trade me “anything” for him? That is not cool. If I did that, would you call me a liar?
-
It's not cool though. Winnetka keeps getting richer, they already have an embarrassment of riches, now he has the best young hitter in the game. You propose deals, you rescind them. It's not the way to play, unfair for everyone else.

I think WSF for Mondesi and Kelenic is as fair as a trade gets, and I think it helps me in ‘21. I had to make that deal.
-
I know there is some anger that I traded WSF relatively quickly after putting him on the block. My POV - Mondesi is a fantastic ottoneu asset, and Kelenic is the 2nd best prospect in the game. I could not hold off waiting for other offers. I was open about WSF being available. I fielded a few offers. I made a few also, and they were rejected.
-
Sorry (again) for pulling some offers. I got some quick feedback on Garver, and I get the sense he has no trade value right now. He was the top hitting C in 2019, and I am generally ignoring 2020 stats, so I’ll hold on to him and see if 2019 Garver returns.
-
I am looking to trade Mitch Garver. I know his value is down. In ‘19 he was beyond good, and in ‘20 he was awful. At $6 he seems like a low risk-high reward C. Looking for somebody of similarly questionable consistency and value, but at a different position. I am set at C.
-
My fantasy team is going to make me follow the Mets this year. I have their Ace, their Closer, and their best player.
-
I would take any reasonable offer for Kris Bryant or Mitch Garver. I need to free up some money for the draft.
-
I’m sorry I pulled back some offers quickly. My SS log jam cleared up so I can’t spare another SS.
-
I have too many shortstops and would trade 1 of Bregman, Machado, or Seager. I can afford to keep all 3, and they are way too good to just give them away.
-
@Spa - If no one else steps forward, I am willing to take on the Commish duties. I only have one year of Ottoneu experience, but have done fantasy baseball for 30 plus years.
-
Anybody want to take a shot on Schwarber ($27), Donaldson ($34), or Strasburg ($35)? All a little spendy, but could easily be worth those salaries.
-
Is anybody willing to take over the Commissioner role? I’m having a hard time staying invested in Fangraphs since it became a socialist media outlet, and in MLB since they went full BLM Marxist. If somebody would take over, I’ll be glad to step out of the way.
-
I don’t know where the line is anymore. No more “Indians” or “Redskins” but “Fighting Irish,” “Vikings,” and “Chiefs” are okay? And Buffalo Bill was an Indian hunter, so are the Bills going to be forced to change? Does anybody know where the line is these days? It moves a lot.
-
Happy New Year!!! Not a year to celebrate perhaps, but 2020 is in the books!!!
-
I also turned off the “require nominations” option. But my plan is if anybody skips their nomination we will point it out and ask them to please avoid skipping again. I think we all agree if somebody repeatedly skips their nomination, we will end their draft.
-
I set the draft date to Sunday, February 21st at 7 pm normal time (i.e. eastern time). That avoids Valentine’s day and Super Bowl. That gives everybody 2 months advance notice to save the date for the draft.
-
How many Chicago Cubs will be traded before spring training?
-
Happy new year everyone. I need to clear out some salary so hit me up if you want to pick up a more expensive star. I went on a shopping spree and overdid it

I mean sure everything is questionable, but I would say they each have over a 50% chance of being a top 15 SS which I would call probably.
-
Probably? More like might be.

If you are in need of a SS I have both Semien and Dejong who are both probably top 15 SS's if and would be willing to part with one of them.
-
Yikes that is way too much snow. Our is starting to melt here.
-
Just measured - 31” at my house. I like winter well enough. But this is absurd.
-
27” of snow on the ground and still snowing in the Spa City (Saratoga Springs, NY). I shoveled for 4 hours. I gave up and now have a Fin du Monde beer (9% ABC in a 32 oz bottle!). Yay beer!!!
