Full disclosure, I'm the one re-auctioning Kiermaier. Know I just traded him away to Keontenders, who then subsequently cut him. Thought his salary was too high, seems Keontenders felt the same. But, at a lower price point, don't mind him. Anyway, didn't trade him away to skirt 30 day cut rule, just want healthy OFs right now

Free Agent Fodder's trade block has been updated!

3 guys on the DL in his lineup, and Peralta's been on the DL for like 2 weeks already.
-
Al Davis was messing around with his lineup earlier this week. Think he's just disappeared for a few days.
-
holy crap, is the Al Davis team dead again already?
-
I'm not bidding on him, but Jett Bandy is one of the best names in baseball. 80-grade, plus-plus pun upside.

you're probably better off without him at this point.
-
Ok guys, I'm re-auctioning Casey Gillaspie! Traded for him at $5, then cut him, now I'm hoping to get him back for $3 since I have an empty roster slot! Sorry for re-auctioning and saving $2!

Everybody angry. But the Rays bullpen day worked out well today! Happy Pruitt looked so good. Hopefully they can escape April with a .500 record!
-
This guy Cole is pretty good!
-
I haven't won, but I've done just fine. Not embarrassed with 3rd and 4th place finishes. Gooooooooooo fuck yourself. You'll enjoy easier competition next season, anyway.
-
Stop whining. I don't like it either but it's definitely not a glitch, it's there by design. Get over it.

Apparently I was capable of drafting, not abusing, and still able to win both years. Glad you think you found a valid excuse for embarrassing your self for another season.

And it's amazingly ironic that the main shitbag who posted about vetoing that last trade is telling anyone not to let someone else run their own team. Amusing, but not surprising in the least.
-
Nah, I'm not scummy enough to leave the league high and dry. I'm out after the season, though. Fair notice for the league to not get fucked up as badly as it did before the draft this season. The glitch is fucking shitty. Everyone knows it is, but some people want to excuse it because they took advantage of it last season because they are shit who can't draft or live with their decisions.

Okay, maybe I should just leave now then? No skin off my back.

Is it rage quitting if I finish out the season? lol I let it be known maybe before you entered the league that I didn't like it last year, and I don't want to be in a league that exploits that shitty loophole. I'll finish out the season, no problem. I just won't be back.
-
Lastly, don't let any of these shitlords dictate how you can run your team. This is still America no matter how much they want it to be something else. The goal is to win within the rules. You don't get bonus points for ethics.
-
@mohawk, yeah, there is an equilibrium here. Eventually someone will take a flyer on the player making them rosterable again instead of being a toxic asset that nobody touches. Additionally, you can only do this once every 30 days, while everyone else can nom that player at any time, and the droppee cannot bid on that player inside of the 30 days. It's a perfectly fine rule that morons don't understand.
-
I'm all for re-auctioning. In another Otto league we drafted in mid-February. I ended up with Price at $28. Why should I have to carry a $14 penalty for the rest of the year? I'm not surprised that you guys aren't smart enough to figure out that this is a valid and necessary part of the game. Guys get hurt and miss the rest of the season. No owner should have to carry that.
-
So you cut someone, then you re-aution them in hopes that another team bids and your cap penalty is wiped clean?
-
I don't like it and I complained about it in AAA last year; however, if other people in the league are going to do it I'm not going to let a competitive advantage get away from me. If everyone agreed not to do it then I'd be content, but I'll be damned if I don't use every tool at my disposal to win. That's no slight to anyone, but I also don't really care for ultimatums about rage-quitting.

What is your DRB username?

to do it. Seems I'll be looked down upon but, I'm just trying to create a little more cap space
-
Take Casey Gillaspie. Cut him at a $5 salary. After a month (which is in a couple of days) I can re-auction him at half his original salary rounded up ($3). If no one bids, I can get him on my team for $3 & keep him or cut him again for $2 cap penalty. If someone bids on him, penalty is completely wiped away. The creator of ottoneu (Niv) created this so that teams wouldn't suffer the whole season with mistakes made in the draft. Some don't like it, that's fine. But, I should be allowed t
-
Don't worry about it, but yes, that's what it does. It gives people an out where there should not be one.
-
How does it work? Sounds like a way for people to take back their over aggressive (original) bids?
-
Not that many (any) of you care, but if we're taking advantage of that glitch in this league, this is the last year I'll be participating. Some of you may be exciting to exploit that now if you are particularly scummy. Just saying this now before it's too late to leave again.
-
Re-auctioning is a legal strategy that is part of the game's design. It is also, many of us (including me), believe, bullshit. So feel free to engage in it, but know that you will be looked down upon by your betters. If that matters to you.

lol 6 vetoes. go fuck yourselves.

FYI: The only way Syndergaard is leaving my team is if he is replaced by multiple amazing and severely underpriced young players.
-
A lot cheaper than $28. It's all relative, bozo.
-
12$ isn't cheap dumbass
