I gotta stop reading this message board. I try to keep my cool, but it's making me do a shlo berm.
-
Ok, I couldnt resist the last comment but I'm done now. Im sorry. I'm with the commish, will keep it cordial from here. Good luck to all the rest of the season and in the years ahead.
-
I have no idea who Rosario is...Berman in 2022! Unless he throws a hissy and quits before then. Anybody want in on that action?
-
Oh and Shlomo, I don't ever gamble but if I did I'd love to bet with you on who's team is going to finish higher in the standings this year. I'm pretty sure I could trade Votto, Carpenter and Verlander and still finish ahead of you. Heck, I might trade them away just to see how badly I can beat you with a payroll under $200.
-
Shlomo- Do you even know who Rosario is? Or the fact that the only reason he isn't in the major leagues right now is because the Mets want him to avoid being a Super Two (assuming you even know what that is)? I hope the other guys make it to the major leagues one day as well. I never root against any player let alone 20 and 21 year old kids. I'm glad you feel the same way.
-
Yes, 5 people vetoed because they do not understand the concept of a keeper league.
-
Though a good number of GMs started off here as newcomers to otto, I think most of us have an idea of what the format is. One or two GMs being more experienced/successful doesn't mean it's cool to insults the rest of the league. Please keep things cordial.
-
I hope Rosario and the rest of the guys you picked up today make it to MLB one day. What a pleasure to have in a "fun" league.
-
Shlomo- your roster is a dumpster fire. In this format, I would rather have Rosario than every single player on your team. I asked you about Tanaka (a guy who is averaging 2 points per inning this year) and you asked for Moncada or Trea Turner in return.
-
Berman, you can have anyone on my roster for that haul. Please send proposal...
-
It's pretty sad that 5 people vetoed that trade when I've been offering similar deals to every team in the league and they've all been rejected. Do any of you (besides Duda) even understand the concept of a keeper league? From looking at the standings the last couple of years it seems pretty obvious that no one in the league, besides Duda and Puig, have any idea what they are doing. What a joke.
-
I agree that the Berman Bombers' trade is a windfall for Hamel Toes, but I won't veto the trade because I think it's a legitimate strategy in a keeper league to tank this year for prospects that can help in later years.

have OF/1B depth, looking to trade for a SS

Is that this is what the market allowed me to acquired for those players.
-
Dee's Nuts- I couldn't agree more but here's the problem- I've proposed multiple trades that are similar all all have been rejected or ignored. I've proposed trades where I've given up more and gotten less. I've proposed trades where I've given up less and gotten more and I've proposed trades where I've given up a similar package and gotten a similar package back. Every time it's either rejected or ignored. You may think I gave up to much and I may think I gave up to much but the simple fact
-
All but two teams have been on the league site in the last day, so we should have enough votes to get a majority on the deal. Don't forget to approve or veto trades!
-
Uh.. That's way too much to give up for Rosario. That trade should be vetoed. Need more in return for all of those guys.
-
Votto, Carpenter and Verlander (among others) are still available. Looking for young, inexpensive major leaguers or upper level minor leaguers.

I've always been under the impression this was a fairly active league, not terribly concerned about it

My basic assumption about trades is that I'm making a mistake. So I'm always a bit shy. :-)
-
League seems active enough to me. Players are being picked up off waivers and cut all the time. Never been a very trade-heavy league, though, but I've found a few willing partners over the years. Need to be persistent and creative to find something that works for both sides.
-
I've had one team respond to messages, trade offers and trade block updates in the last two weeks. 9 of 12 teams may have logged in but that doesn't mean that they pay attention to this league (this is probably not their primary team). Sorry to say it but this league seems dead.
-
Can't speak for myself, but Duda's been asleep at the switch since early April
-
9 out of 12 teams checked the league today, so we have 3 inactive teams (one we knew of going into the season).
-
Is anyone in this league active at all? Anyone?

It's far too early, but might we finally be over the days of repeat champions in this league?
-
Who's this new dude atop our leaderboard "Hamel Toes" Commish? I don't remember voting to admit him to our league
-
I was considering that (and may still do it as I really don't want to deal with another team's roster), though I am under the impression that abandoning a team is irreversible. As in, if no one picks it up, I can't assign an owner and it'll be inactive for the rest of the season. TBH, that's probably what's going to end up happening sooner rather than later.
-
Why don't you just abandon the team and see if someone picks it up. Almost every abandoned team gets picked up almost immediately.
-
Gentry's GM is inactive this season, and I am making acquisitions to fill out their roster (and dealing with lineups every few days) so that the next owner has a full-ish roster to play with.
-
I thought Gentry was out of the league? How is he making acquisitions? - Joe Cuck
-
Alright, so it looks like the Gentry's GM won't be joining us this season. As a stopgap, I've decided to manage the team's roster in the interim (on a weekly basis) so we don't have just 11 teams playing. Obviously, there won't be any trades between my team and Gentry during this time, though I will field offers from the rest of y'all on behalf of the team. This squad should have no problems finding a new owner next season. Let me know if you have any Qs. Should be business as usual otherwise!
-
Hey folks, does anyone know the GM for Gentry? They missed the draft, and haven't filled out their roster or set lineups. I'm may just have to mark the team as abandoned in a few days, though it doesn't seem likely that a new owner will want to take over at this point of the season with the draft complete.
-
Good luck to all of you playing for second place. Hey Batter, Batter...Swing!
-
I can concur with the first two points, Puig. Happy Opening Day!
-
Amen.
-
In 2017, may trade offers be sensible, auctions be orderly, and Duda's championship performance revert to the mean. Play ball!

This was my first Ottoneu auction draft and it was a lot of fun. I came into it with a solid plan that did not at all involve getting Stanton or Miggy, but ¯_(ツ)_/¯. I'm looking forward to a fun season.
