Just checked the previous years' final standings. This will definitely be the closest finish ever...

I feel like that was always the rule, wasn't it? Is the problem that this is the first year all games on the final day start at the same time? Thanks West Germany and Austria, buttholes... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disgrace_of_Gij%C3%B3n

FYI for the 3 contenders. This should have been an announcement for all Ottoneu leagues, but looks like Niv changed the rules today to hard caps so that you can't exceed the 162/810 limits for C/OF: http://community.ottoneu.com/t/caps-with-c-and-of/2206 Good luck this weekend!

Less than 3 weeks to go with only 52 points separating first from third. Almost as much suspense as what's going to be included in the new iPhone. Good luck fellas.

It was Jeter, he snuck in to the Yankees' locker room because he's got a lifetime pass and he took it to Miami. Give us back our precious, Jeter!

I'm beginning to think Stanton swiped the ring of power from Judge at HR Derby. You take Judges first half and Stanton's second half and they'd be chasing Bonds' record right now.

Well, Shadows, all of Yankees and Tigers world have squared off except us. But since there's two of you and one of me...truce?

I'm about to pull a deal giving away cueto and Bautista for pretty cheap. If any contender is interested make an offer now or forever hold your peace. I'll give til morning for offers or the trade is done.

Ouch dude. I wasn't attacking you. I was just saying if you're mad about this, which you clearly are, you had an opportunity to negotiate with me and didn't. That's all. Let's not get nasty.

Excuse me? I should...this is my team motherfucker. Not yours.

.....not easy to get in leagues that value prospects as much as this league. I offered you pretty much the same deal for Judge (alone) so i don't know why you are taking it personally. you should have taken the cano arrietta for taillon or at least counter offered and asked for another throw in.

Sorry 4 contenders. But BOI doesn't trade blue chip prospects. I'm sorry you don't like the trade, black ops. I certainly understand why - , jeets got a haul, but you had nothing to give me. you wouldn't even give me taillon for Arrietta and cano. remember? If yo look at my team next year (which is all that matters to me) , i traded davis for rosario, finnegan, longo, clevenger (who looks great!!), and candelario(dont know what to expect from him). Players like rosario...

I don't see how it hurts me to add 5 players for 4 players that aren't on my team next year. As I said, after 2 months of trying, there was no deal between myself and the three contenders that yielded a fair return (talent). If I could have made a deal earlier in the season, the return would have been better. I would have liked more,but it's easy to criticize a deal when you don't know the inner workings.

In my opinion, the veto is only for collusion and I have no issue with the trade that was made. I do think it is in line with trades we have had before. I'm pretty sure I made similar trades in May/June of last year.
-
I do wish that Bags had gotten a better haul, but nothing there seems to be so horrible that it needs to be vetoed. The two people it hurts are Bags and BOPS. That's why it does pay to have some quality prospects.
-
And by saying that I guaranteed I will finish fourth after BOI overtakes me

No be pissed at me BOI. Only I said it. War Children's team is still dangerous.
-
I'm just pissed you guys are saying there are only 3 teams left in the race :(
-
Sure Jeets, this is just like every league out there. Proven that today.
-
Hopefully you haven't deleted the posts, but I recall a lot of reading and typing back and forth about NovaCain.
-
I think we've had a dozen trades similar to this in this league.
Yeah Jeets! on
August 19, 2017 8:16 PM

I don't disagree with the hypo Novocain theory posited by BOI. I don't think I proposed a rule for his team other than maybe if you've abandoned your team for two months we should seek a more active owner. I do think whether this trade is online with old trades is absolutely relevant. If we didn't veto my deal of votto for injured, pre-breakout altherr, how is this different? Our reasonable expectations w/r/t vetoes are important
Yeah Jeets! on
August 19, 2017 8:13 PM
-
That may be the case and whether it's in or out of line with past trades may be up for debate. All I'm saying is there are other justifications for a veto other than collusion in my opinion. For example, say a NovaCain logged in and shipped out his best players for nothing of value in return bc he didn't intend on returning next season. That's not collusion, but a trade that should be vetoed in my view.
-
Cause with FB deal, NovaCain should be ok yes?
-
Look you wanted "Jeets Rule" against NovaCain for a single purpose. Anything else we need to change in the league for?
-
I don't think we've had a single veto in the history of this league nor do I think this trade is out of line with anything that's been done in the past
Yeah Jeets! on
August 19, 2017 7:48 PM

BTW - The veto test for me is asking the question, which would do more harm to the league, a league veto or letting a trade through. If collusion, it's obvious that the trade would do more harm to the league, but I agree with BOPS that it's not the only case. Anyway, hope that opinion didn't offend anybody. I'm not casting a veto vote on this one bc I understand the predicament FB was in.
-
Totally agree with WAR
-
I know WC, you are better at accepting it than I am. I just thought our league was "different" like Google. I am not fond of applying world averages to some group that is ahead of the curve.
-
While it's fairly obvious that this isn't a very fair deal (Fun Bags isn't even denying that), this type of trade happens every year and in every keeper league. Does it piss me off at times? Yes, but there is nothing that is going to motivate someone who has nothing to lose from giving up a bunch of players for the hope that a prospect will be a star.

If anything to this, I do not hold you accountable YJ. It's FB I'm pissed at.
-
Vetoes do not have to be used for just collusion. Collusion shouldn't even be a factor. If so, it is what allows all the lop-sided trades. Should be about the fair balance of the trade. Either way, whatever man. Damage is done.
-
Had to do it because the deadline was coming up and BOI and WC were running away so I only had two teams to trade with, and therefore, little leverage. No one (WC included) had a problem with that. If I had a nickel for every time I saw a trade someone else made that I thought I thought I could have beat...and I've never vetoed for that reason
Yeah Jeets! on
August 19, 2017 6:15 PM
-
Wtf? Vetoes should only ever be used in the case of collusion and FB and I have been nothing but excellent members of this (outstanding) league since it started 5 years ago. Trades can get favorable for buyers at the deadline when sellers want to get whatever they can for their non-keepers. I traded BOI votto last year for an injured altherr. I ended up cutting altherr and he wasn't even drafted, he got picked up after an early season hot streak.
Yeah Jeets! on

Just one voter's opinion- I try to only veto if I suspect collusion, but there can also be severely lopsided deals that could potentially damage a league. I've never seen anything over the years that would make me the slightest bit concerned about collusion by anybody here. That said, this is clearly a heavily one-sided trade, but I can also empathize with the pressure to make a move FB may have felt and Rosario was one of his primary targets that was actually in play.
-
Want it that badly? I'll just bench everyone. Simple.
-
Considering I lost Paxton, Lester, and Yu within the last couple weeks and replaced them with arrieta, I'm not counting my chickens yet
Yeah Jeets! on

Whatever the prize is in the end, definitely share it with FB.
-
I don't care anymore.
-
On top of that, I've been shopping these guys for months to the top three teams. Jeets and I have been going back and forth for a long time. Nothing personal. But you don't have any prospects I'm interested in so I looked at judge. Problem is, it's hard to trade five players for one. I should generally get more for these players than I did, but there are only three teams to make deals with so that made it hard. War children wouldn't entertain reasonable offers for acuna and devers.

In your message to me, black ops, you said you probably couldn't do it, but you'd think on it anyway. In that deal all I got was judge. I wanted Rosario and didn't want to release all of these players with no return. I got 5 players I'll keep. Candelario is dependent on what he looks like this September.
