The league now has one less horrible owner. You're welcome.
-
what happened to Horrible owner? it says there is "no owner" on his page. i don't think he abandoned.
-
Dominic Smith is owned in 5MiLB, that auction will need to be voided.

i'll give puig for a future consideration.

Ⓜ️ Montreal Royals🌹's trade block has been updated!

My understanding is you have the option to call up a player who has not been promoted (though not sure why you would do that), but you must call up a player once he has been promoted.

I had asked this about Slater earlier but I think it got lost in the veto dust-up haha.
-
Oh, I see, so we don't call them up then. They just get added when they get called you in real life.
-
Because he was promoted from 5MiLB. It happened a while ago, was an oversight that it was not done sooner.

Why was Zagunis added to my roster?
-
please, no horseshit offers for EE
-
Would like to move Kipnis and Longo tonight, going on vacation tomorrow. Maybe EE as well.
-
Marte/Puig as well
-
Kipnis/Encarnacion/Bautista/Longo available
-
I'm thinking you limit loans to 2 giving and 2 receiving and problem better without hard-cap but could go either way.
-
agreed LB need some more future assets though so looking to move some IF/OF/RP depth
-
Just for the record. I'm not leaving the league. I've put too much work into this crappie team. I'm just creating another one.
-
not sure I understand your point EE for Duffy in 2018 seems pretty good deal for me. Will move Rizzo for a 4 Horseman type deal
-
Lol I'm enjoying this discussion. Thanks for the explanation about giving future assets for present value.

10th sorry, just passed wonderful owner
-
I'm in 11th dude why the fuck would I offer on those. I accepted an offer.
-
HO: I'm confused. You didn't want to offer from 10th place on Trout/Stras/Miggy, but you did on three guys who are pretty easy cuts for next year, one of whom is on the DL?

SABR, through what secret portal are you finding this information? Are you working with the Russians? I don't remember typing any of that. I must have been hacked!

...oh and don't forget this one "There is a compelling offer on the table for the whole package of guys I've been shopping. If other buyers have not acted within the next 48 hours, at the latest, I anticipate I will accept that offer."
-
Four Horseman did all he could to market his guys, talk to every owner and essentially alerted all of us that the best offer would win. Does anyone think they offered him something better? He also mentioned that it would be likely ALL of them would move in the same deal. I'm not sure why this deal comes as a surprise to anyone.
-
Wait, you mean other people can actually see the message board? Maybe they even get updates sent to their email? I just thought it was like my journal, didn't even know other people could see it. Explains a lot.

Four Horseman's recent posts: "Miggy and Strasburg about to be on the move for a cheap price. Get your offers in now or forever hold your peace."..."Mike Trout, Stephen Strasburg, Miguel Cabrera, JA Happ, Jim Johnson are probably going to move this week. Have a bunch of offers out. The time to do business is now."..."It's also possible if not likely that all those guys will go to the same team"..."I have offers out to 5 teams, all with the same guys from my end
-
Okay, I gotta admit, that's pretty funny.

Yeah, that makes total sense. This game definitely takes some time to learn and in some ways it's not intuitive. I definitely took some lumps and I'm still learning. I can definitely see the merits in other rules and formats too. I hope you find or create something that you like! I'd be excited to hear how it works out.

cont - another level. but at the same time, It's not the ottonue I thought I was joining. So I want to create a league with rules that make a league the way I think ottonue should be. we don't have to agree, but the truth is, i simply can't compete against you and SABR in this format. My fantasy brain doesn't work that way. I tip my cap to y'all though. sincerely. SABR blows my mind. that boys good.
-
WARiors, I think you're right about the raging. It's not a great way to communicate. I think the point is, people have found a way to win this league WITHOUT breaking any rules, but at the same time. have shed light on the weaknesses of ottonue. I actually am really impressed with the way you and SABR play this game (I actually can't compete with you guys because I don't play FB this way (it would never occur to me that i could get trout, miggy, and strasburg in one trade) You guys are on ...
-
I get having different opinions about trades, but I don't get raging against the system. If you want to win in a competitive Ottoneu league, you have to make trades with loans. Period. Especially if you have ground to make up. If you don't like the system, create another one like the league you're proposing. But the only way to win is by looking for competitive advantages within the system you're in. It's not nonsense or ridiculous to do that--it's smart and it's the only way to win.

Let me know when league set up Lake my e-mail is matt.hausman@yahoo.com, can't handle this shit anymore. Been trying but it is a joke.
-
yeah, i think the system would improve DRAMATICALLY if you were not able to nominate people you cut. If someone else wants to nominate them and you win, then fine. But resetting your bad contracts is not realistic
-
And on that note, I'm going to start a new league drafting next year with a 450 hard cap and no bringing any of your own released players up for auction. Once you release them you can't bid on them unless someone else nominates them to auction. If you are interested in joining, message me, because I'm serious. I want to be in a league where you get penalized for your bad contracts. Sabr magician has found a way to beat the system. It's impressive, but not fun for me.
-
I'm not as concerned about the return of the buyers as I am of the sellers. There have been two blockbuster trades in the league this year where the owners decided to lump great players together for a bunch of players that do not seem like they would ever return as much value as what they gave away. That haul isn't worth giving up Trout alone. That is just my two cents, I am not going away, I just thought money leagues brought up the competition. That is not really the case here.
-
I'm with y & R. I've never seen anything like this league and I'm in 3 ottonue' s. Last year over 700 and now 639?! I think WTF has been doing a great job getting returns on his rebuild BTW. I joined ottonue for its realism and a sabr league even more, but this league is like "arcade mode" - totally rediculous.
-
I'm also still confused how/why owners are allowed to continually reduce their cap penalties by just abusing the 50% penalty reduction system? I don't get the point in having a penalty system if everyone is allowed to just reduce the hit down to $1. just make it $1 from the get go? We have a salary cap system, yet theres absolutely no way to enforce it
-
a team should not be allowed to have 639 in cap, based off unjustified loans. Count me out going into next year too if this kind of nonsense continues
-
I'm confused why Horsemen is calling WTF a horrible owner? This is just another example of the nonsense that this league needs to figure out how to stop.
-
trade is a fucking joke
-
I'm in 11th dude, what could I offer.
-
cool, let me know if you're wanting to stick here and I'll bow out didn't mean to be a horrible owner just trying to have a chance at some point.
-
WTF, what did you offer?
-
with you*
