So just to confirm - my roster will be legal as soon as May's auction is over, right?
-
It's an easy path to victory. I will be led by a 1500-point season from my bargain-basement Yulieski Gurriel.
-
Really? I'd better start thinking of names, then... :D
-
I'll rename my team anything you want if you win next year.
-
When I win next year, Schrodinger, you shall be forced to acknowledge my baseball genius... ;)
-
Anyone joining the league should have to go through a 192-point vetting process. One point for every cut Nippon made this year. That 192 may be an exaggeration. It might not. Its hard to say how many moves he's actually made.
-
Sick of THIS league? No way.
-
Anyone sick of the league? I have a friend who wants in.

Glad I could help.

Greg Bird came to your rescue ;)
-
Thanks Schrodinger. That's why I said a couple of days...I figured someone would pick up or nominate at least a couple of my cuts and I would be fine in a few days.
-
I don't think we need to penalize Nippon at all. It looks like with May's nomination, he'll be down to a couple bucks in the red and will be able to make one or two more cuts to get himself to a legal roster.
-
I'll take a look at the situation. Been out of town all weekend.

Schrodinger, I laughed out loud at that. Thank you.
-
Yay, my Puig is safe :)
-
Guys, let's just look at the silver lining. No trade offers from Nippon til he makes the cuts. 😉

http://www.fangraphs.com/fantasy/how-to-turn-an-easily-acquired-giancarlo-stanton-into-nothing-in-three-easy-steps/ There, for example, someone talked about living with being over the cap for a while. I am not going to leave my roster like this for weeks, but a couple of days is hardly unheard of. Evidently, even Rotographs guys do it.
-
Just trying to be nice, History. Like I said, I will evaluate once the cuts clear. I don't think a day or two is a big deal. I have seen guys do this in both of my other ottoneu leagues, and I have never seen a problem with it before.
-
Haha I'm not for that. You took on a ridiculously inflated and high priced salary, you have to deal with it.
-
But I don't want to cause a ruckus either. So if Commish wants to award Gurriel to the next highest bidder, and that makes everyone happy, I am good with that too.
-
I am going to try to bring it legal. I want to see how my cuts from today clear, and then I will evaluate accordingly. I'm not leaving it like this indefinitely. Just because I'm not cutting it immediately doesn't mean I won't be cutting.
-
and that's after this under subsection B: "In this circumstance, your team will be frozen until the issue is resolved. The owner will be forced to cut a player to resolve this issue, and will not be able to perform any other activities in the game, including editing and making auction bids." Seems pretty clear to me that stalling and not correcting an illegal roster isn't alright.
-
It's in the constitution man.... (Section I, subsection C): " At no time should a team willingly go over roster and salary cap limits. If a team knowingly does this, they will face penalties at the discretion of their league's commissioner."
-
How do you define "extended period"? I'm not breaking any rules. But I do plan to try and bring it legal, once I figure out how. Although I seem to recall a couple of Rotographs articles on how that is a legitimate strategy.
-
Assuming a $32 Gurriel is cut, Nippon still has $12 (so really $24 of real contracts) to cut just to be even.
-
I agree with that, Coastal. That's not in the competitive spirit of this league.
-
Now, running an invalid roster for an extended time because your not in contention, that should be a problem.
-
If I need to, I will just leave it for a while.
-
As long as he corrects his roster, I have no issue. I thought I over bid at 17. You never know.
-
I didn't say it was illegal. I'm not the one that's dug a -$28 hole
-
It's perfectly legal, and I'm out of it anyway. If he's not a stud, I've only hurt myself. I don't have anything to lose by trying, though...
-
$32 for Gurriel??? Not sure if it's cool to let teams bid more money than they have available...
-
Pretty sure my offense is still enjoying the All-Star break. This is brutal.

That's a lot of free agent nominations
-
(and that means I will gladly move some of them if the deals make sense)
-
Oh, there's nothing wrong with that. I just have needs in my MLB lineup because my prospects are so damn good.
-
Thank god baseball is back! I was starting to go through lineup setting withdrawal.
