Agree with Boise. Going back to check all transactions would be a nightmare and new owners took control of actual rosters regardless of past owners mistakes. I added Tolleson at its former $2 salary and we move on...Now what? Draft is 6 weeks away, should we move it prior to Spring?
-
Yeah - I'm more okay with just ignoring past trades and cuts, because I agree.. People made cuts with respect to everything else that had already been done. If that means I can't have Tolleson back, then so be it, I guess. It was just an honest mistake during some mass cutting though, there was not nefarious motives at hand. I said, right away, that it was an accident and no one acknowledged it so I just kind of ignored it. It'd be sweet to not be punished for my mistake, but I get it either way
-
We got kind of screwed by the infamous "DonnieB" who took over 4 teams in our league made of a bunch of trades and cuts and then we had to boot them when we found out it was all the same guy. Undoing everything he did would be a nightmare.
-
But I'll shut up now.
-
Seems like allowing outgoing managers to make trades and cuts right before they leave the league is bad business.
-
Though I'm struggling to understand why the former owner moved Franko and Rodon and trout for Donaldson and garbage. Oh well.
-
I'm fine with tilted getting tolleson back because it was clearly an accident and he asked right away afterwards. Anything else is a little less ok for me. Others in the league could have made their cut desicions based on who was available and owners could ask for players back now they've seen who everyone else has already cut. These things should have been taken care of before the deadline.
-
Alright. Didn't mean to start a league wide issue here. I'm new to ottoneu and I think I was looking at Castillo's salary before it increased in October. It's less an issue at the new salary. I'm fine just leaving it as it is.
-
To be honest, I didn't even look back at the cuts that someone else made for me. But you're right. I honestly made a ton of cuts at once, and just had Tolleson checked when I didn't want to cut him. It was purely an accident on my behalf. I wouldn't be opposed to allowing new owners from January to get back someone cut, up to 2 players.
-
Regarding Tilted, the former owner was part of the league for less than a day and cut Upton, Ellsbury and others at very reasonable prices. I would not be against allowing new owners to get 2 players back (max)
-
I have no problem adding Castillo, you can probably grab him for less than $7 during the draft, who knows.. (he's a cut for me), and thats the thing when grabbing abandoned teams, half of the owners here, including myself, took over teams in really bad shape. If the former manager would've cut players just to mess with the team and then leave then its a different story (tilted case). Grimms has a solid $10.66 avg per pick for the draft, but Id like to hear your opinions...
-
also... I'm guessing we have an open spot? with Matata?
-
I didn't say it had anything to do with you, lol, I'm just saying... Both are part of the game. I don't want to win when someone feels it wasn't fair, thus I'm fine with undoing most things that people agree on. Mine was Shawn Tolleson at $3. I obviously didn't intend to cut an established closer at $3.
-
Tilted which player did you accidentally dropped?
-
*undone
-
Personally I'm fine undoing both cuts. Mistakes similar to this have happened before and they've been done. I can't recall if there was a penalty of any sort though.
-
But seriously, to be fair, that has nothing to do with me. I don't know what this league does with respect to accidental drops, but I'm not requesting a reversal based on my error. I'm reversing the decision of an owner who promptly left the league.
-
To be fair...
:)
-
though, to be fair, I posted that I made a cut entirely on accident immediately after it happened.. and that didn't really get undone.
-
I don't really see that as questionable... at all... but to that point, I'm fine with it.
-
New owner of Grimms Reapers just recently took control of that team. Former owner made some questionable cuts and he's asking to get Rusney Castillo back at $7. If there's an owner that objects and wants a shot at him during the draft I'll leave him in the FA pool.
-
And I'm interested in Polanco
-
I'd like the opportunity to add back some the guys the former owner cut on 1/27.
-
I'm looking to move Polanco, if anyone is interested. Looking for some pieces to go for it this year.

Both are good. But you just can't beat that value. Arb will be a bitch next season. ;)

I guess I meant for the cost, though I'd still stack them up. Owning Harvey, Kluber, DeGrom, and Arrieta for a total of $40~ is kind of hard to beat.
-
RE: Titled
Sure, I understand your perspective. Obviously there wouldn't have been a trade if we both didn't think it helped us :)
-
take a look at mine...not bad (and Thor coming in tomorrow)
-
While I agree with you, in a vacuum, I have Sano. I'd have played Machado at SS (Where I figured everyone would) but I'm a fan of Lindor... and I'm pretty certain that the trade gives me the best rotation in the league.
-
I think it was fairly even. I am more comfortable trying to find starting pitching value in the auction than trying to find a starting 3B based on what's not being kept so far
-
Needless to say, I have some pitching available if someone wants to give me a legit offer that makes it worth it.
-
Figured I'd make some waves here, before the deadline.
-
Big names on that last trade. I like the Harvey side a bit more but very close

Grimms, 99 problems and Matata looking for manager (apparently the owner from Matata has no quit yet but hasn't checked in either). Spread the word in the ottoneu slack! thanks

Welcome Tilted!

Boise Boats's trade block has been updated!

Went to bed early last night. Did I miss anything? :p. Man, some people.
-
Ugh, I didn't mean to cut Tolleson. I'm not even sure how he got checked.
-
Sorry guys, I'm in. I have a sick kid, and wasn't really around to see I was added to a league last night.
-
Auction draft. Keep as many or as few as you'd like. Right now you have until end of Jan to cut players. Any players cut after that are assessed a salary penalty of half. Also after that no trades until after we hold the draft.
