Welcome and congratulations
-
Hi Everyone - I am taking over the team that seems to have caused a ruckus in the league. Still wrapping my arms around this, but . . . I was looking for a second roto league, and I think I found a pretty active one, so I am stoked. Also, I am not a relative or friend of whoever Ham was. I'll need a sec to take a look at the rosters in more detail, but open to message/trade chatter in the upcoming days. Sorry to hear about all the drama -

...or second place
-
I say we just call it now and say whoever’s in third place is the champion
-
Curious. Does his team continue on with the line-up set as is? Seem strange to have a phantom team running away with the title.
-
I don’t understand why anyone would try to scam a league with no payout
-
Well, Ham asked for his team to be abandoned after this weekend. I’ll be making that change now and hopefully a new owner (and not a relative!) will be joining us
-
Whoa, dramatic weekend
-
Got it 7th Inning. Thanks. By the way, I didn't forfeit anything and I am still open in the trade market ahead of the trading deadline. I just have much left to trade!!!!
-
Red brought up that some people were throwing in the towel, so I explained why from my point of view. At no point did I say “I feel you cheated me”, I said you find the loopholes and you are not fun to play with. You can stay or go I don’t care, whatever you need for validation, if I could give you the championship now I would.
-
Your brother dumped the team he decimated in this league which benefitted you, because he left the country. Conveniently though, he picked up a championship team in another league, a league you used to be in.
-
I probably made the most trades with Ham and he has made the last year great as we always talk trade. Hate to see a active person leave
-
Honestly, my plan was leave at the end of the season. Why I sold all my kids off. Commissioner/s just delete my team. Not worth playing in a league with someone like that. I know I would have finished up towards the top. Good enough for me. As I said, it was a blast playing with most of you. I wish you lots of luck going forward. Peace out all!

Of it. But it’s within the rules to do so.

But as soon as my team opens a lead it’s an issue and one to not bring to me but rather post to the league. I am an ultra active owner as you all know. That just isn’t 7ths style. But it doesn’t mean I’ve done anything wrong. I’m sorry you felt I cheated you 7th but I didn’t. If you all want me gone now, so be it. This season is a shit show anyway and would be very 2020 anyway. But I cheated nobody and made my intentions of selling out known early. Otto allows loans and I’ve taken advantage

Hot Corner...nothing to do with you at all. My brother did play last year and we made trades. All approved by the league. He got a job out of the country and moved and left his team. All verified by Niv since someone complained. I’ve made about 20 trades plus with several team. Because it’s my favorite part. I play/played within the rules and to be called a cheat isn’t something I take lightly. At no point as 7th said a word to me about his issues/concerns.

Hot Corner I wasn’t putting anything on you, sorry for that confusion. It was on the person that owned the team last year, who apparently was Ham’s brother according to Niv. They picked the team up in May, unloaded players and money to Ham, then dumped the team in the offseason.
-
If I could post screenshots I would, if anybody wants the messages I’ll be happy to email them. Ham, you game the system, you find loopholes. You are not fun to play with, it wasn’t even fun last year and I won last year.
-
Direct quotes from Niv “Thanks for letting me know. This one seems more plausible than past similar situations, and I will reach out to these users to figure out what is going on.”
Immediately followed by “The two owners in question are brothers, not the same person. I’ll recommend in the future that if they are in leagues together they let people know that they are brothers, but it does not seem that these two accounts are managed by the same person.“
-
I haven't purposefully assisted in anyone bloating their salary cap. I have made a lot of trades with almost everyone in the league to turn a last place team into one with a young, promising hitter at every position with a bevy of top prospects coming up. I have work to do on my pitching and made a few really bad trades, but I know what I am doing. Check my other teams. Just doing whatever I can to improve my team quickly.
-
Goes to show me leaving is the right call. Most of you have been a blast to play with. I’ll miss BSing with several of you.

Actually....it was found to be BS by Niv. Gave me the all clear because it was a baseless claim. But at least I know who was complaining about it now. I built a team that was set up for the long haul but just grew tired of playing fantasy baseball. So I said I was pushing all in early. Sold kids for expensive guys that nobody had issue with. Played within the rules since there are no restrictions on how much cap you can take on. But now that I’m doing well the whiners come out in full force.

Not a fan of someone who plays like he does, so I've found it tough to stay engaged. Last year, he had his brother run what is now Hot Corner. I don't care about brothers, friends or whatever playing in the same league if you're going to be competitive. If you're going to operate two salary caps to benefit one team, as he did last year to set up his team this year, then I don't really have time for that. This was all verified by Niv.
-
Couldn’t have done it without you giving me the best positIon player and pitcher in the game, Red!

Glad we all decided to forfeit this season so Ham could have one last hoorah

Since my veto of that trade most likely won’t matter, you’ve almost made it to a $700 cap Ham. Good work.
-
Never apologize for trade offers...it's fantasy baseball. Shouldn't be hard to hit decline if you don't want it. It's all part of the game. Good luck everyone. Glad we are going to get a chance at a season.

Good luck and many thanks for putting up with my constant trade offers as I try to rebuild a team!!!
-
Best of luck all
-
Good luck guys...let's get this 60 game season going!
-
Looking to flip a closer for a set and forget OF. Cap does't matter if you carry any difference or I will if your OF is cheaper. Yes, I will move Hader for an OF bat but he costs more than my other OFers. Any interest?

I am good with no arb for this season.
-
agree no arb
-
I agree with beer run
-
I would vote for no arbitration. The automatic $1/$2 seems reasonable for the shortened season.
-
That’s what spurred my original comment.
-
Everybody should read the covid update on top of league page
-
I would say no arb/no price raises in the event no games are played. There is not a current option to turn off arb - either allocation (which we do) or vote off systems. I can ask the admin about these options and any future things we can do if we don’t have a season.
-
No doubt it is going to be a shit show. That part we can agree on for sure.

I just think there will be many more players that opt out and/or miss time because they’ve contracted the virus. The season is going to be an absolute shitshow.
-
If we play a season why would there not be? It's not like it impacts your players. If there is a full season, no matter how short, there will be a champ in this league. And the length of the season shouldn't really impact arbitration I don't think. Again, I am not going to be here so this is just my $.02. I don't care what you guys decide. BTW, if there was no season (still think this could happen) or it doesn't finish I would expect no arb.

I would rather we didn't this season...bad enough they get an automatic raise for so few games played
-
Before I make any big decisions, can we decide if we’re going to have arbitration this offseason or not? I saw by default it will be on but he’s leaving it up to leagues to participate or not.
-
I have decided this is my last year of fantasy. Not worrying about it has been nice with so many other things to worry about. So, all of my young kids/prospects/cheap stars are for sale if it makes my team better this year. Going all in. If you carry the loan I will move any young player for a more expensive, better player. Go big or go home I guess is what I am saying.

...at least i'd imagine
-
Might have an extra month or so to find someone now
-
well skip has been abandoned...not suprised..good luck getting someone to take this team
-
If anyone is interested in a points league lmk. We are short a few owners
-
while I can make the draft, I do think we should reschedule if skip can't make it. he's got 19 roster spots to fill and if he doesnt make the draft, it'll ruin his season
