• Years ago, I pissed off this league super hard by trading $49 Max Scherzer and $43 Nolan Arenado for then prospects $4 Vlad Guerrero Jr and $3 Fernando Tatis Jr. Part of it was I wasn't far out of contention at the time, but still, don't be a hater

  Homer to the Max on June 4, 2025 6:34 PM

• well said, DC... also- especially since this is a keeper league-- a reminder that our initial impressions of trades are often way wrong in the long term

  There's My Chippy on June 4, 2025 12:33 PM

• Would also add - as my two recent trades had a couple veto votes - if you want to know "why?!" Ask... You may not agree but that's what makes this game work, if everyone thought the same about every player the game would be fairly boring

  D'Anconia Copper on June 4, 2025 11:55 AM

• Yeah, what chippy and d'aconia said. Absent vetoes, it's an approval. And I also agree with Alien Alliance that vetoes should really be reserved for collusion, of which there is none here. And if there were, the commissioners could reverse it and punt the owners into the sun, anyway.

  Homer to the Max on June 4, 2025 11:29 AM

• the other issue is timing, trades get finalize in 2 days and we wouldn't want that to get held up by 1-2 owners not voting

  There's My Chippy on June 4, 2025 8:25 AM

• I like this league off season requirement of prepayment BEFORE trade approval. I have no objection to same for in season. IMO, vetoes are for cheating. Dynasty is building MiLBers in the 40 man roster. And, if one wants to trade, arguably, three top inexpensive MiLBers for rent a players, that IS EXACTLY what what IRL MLB. The key to me is longevity.

  Alien Alliance on June 3, 2025 2:24 PM

• I am in 4 leagues and generally see 1 or two votes at most - but the act of abstaining from the vote is similar to voting "OK" in my book

  D'Anconia Copper on June 3, 2025 1:52 PM

• Would love to have everyone weigh in, but I'm not sure I've even seen a trade get 50% of the league voting.

  Homer to the Max on June 3, 2025 1:35 PM

• What's on my mind you ask? I think Ottoneu trade rules should require all teams to either approve or veto.

  Cary-Grove Cheese Balls 🧀 on June 1, 2025 8:28 PM

• Gray-Rod, Casas, and Gil available as stashes for basically any half functional starter

  Homer to the Max on May 3, 2025 8:27 PM

• Pretty sure -73 points is a new all time record. Congratulations, Nestor Cortes!

  Homer to the Max on March 29, 2025 3:25 PM

• Four days until the draft!!!

  Rockford Peaches on March 5, 2025 7:21 AM

• Sounds good to me, thanks for narrowing this down

  Maybe This Year on February 5, 2025 5:59 PM

• OK, now we're starting at 630p est... speak now or forever regret your auction picks

  There's My Chippy on February 5, 2025 5:26 PM

• I would benefit from pushing it to 6pm or 630 EST as well - not sure if that adds conflict for someone else, but if we can push it a bit, I wouldnt mind.

  D'Anconia Copper on February 5, 2025 4:11 PM

• Okay, 4:30 CT ....last time that I tried two OttoNeu auctions at once, I got locked out of both!!. Pls give me a little leeway if you see getting dropped early on.

  Alien Alliance on February 5, 2025 4:09 PM

• Sounds like a good plan!

  Rockford Peaches on February 5, 2025 3:48 PM

• alright, let's lock in at 530p est to give Peaches enough time to make sure we start on time

  There's My Chippy on February 5, 2025 3:02 PM

• March 9, later the better for me. Minimum: after 6 ET, preferably after 7. Conflicting OttoNeu auction...

  Alien Alliance on February 5, 2025 3:01 PM

• Works for me.

  Raganomics on February 5, 2025 1:38 PM

• So from the existing feedback it looks like Saturday the 8th is out (one owner cant do until later, and another owner cant do late) But Sunday after 5pm EST seems clear for everyone so far. Anyone have an objection to Sunday evening, March 9th?

  D'Anconia Copper on February 5, 2025 1:24 PM

• I can’t do the 9th before noon ET

  Maybe This Year on February 1, 2025 12:02 PM

• Either day is ok

  Springfield Isotopes on February 1, 2025 11:13 AM

• Prefer Sunday but could make Saturday work

  John Henry's Poverty Franchise on January 31, 2025 12:49 PM

• Either day works for me

  D'Anconia Copper on January 31, 2025 12:00 PM

• I'm also ok those days except like real late saturday

  Homer to the Max on January 30, 2025 10:52 PM

• That weekend is wide open for me right now.

  Raganomics on January 30, 2025 9:46 PM

• Later CT March 8

  Alien Alliance on January 30, 2025 8:25 PM

• I am unavailable on Sunday the 9th from 2:00-5:00 (EST). I am clear all day Friday or Saturday, then Sunday morning or evening.

  Rockford Peaches on January 30, 2025 7:53 PM

• I can do March 8 after 3 pm CST. I can do the 9th any time, but prefer after noon CST.

  Cary-Grove Cheese Balls 🧀 on January 30, 2025 7:19 PM

• OK, let's drill down on the March 8/9th weekend... I'm free all 48... please list any conflicts you have with as much time specificity as possible this far in advance

  There's My Chippy on January 30, 2025 5:23 PM

• Yeah, that was as bloated a roster as I've ever seen. I guess that happens when you try to run 100+ teams at once.

  Raganomics on January 28, 2025 9:35 PM

• I don't know how to "like" on this platform, but I like Homer to the Max's last post!

  Cary-Grove Cheese Balls 🧀 on January 28, 2025 9:11 PM

• In fairness, that's what any sane person should have done with that roster. Godspeed for taking on the challenge, sir/madam

  Homer to the Max on January 28, 2025 9:00 PM

• Not Big Papi will be the life of the draft/auction party!

  Cary-Grove Cheese Balls 🧀 on January 28, 2025 8:36 PM

• What's the difference between Big Papa and Not Big Papa. Apparently 28 of 40 roster spots. Wow, that's the biggest cut I've witnessed!

  Cary-Grove Cheese Balls 🧀 on January 28, 2025 8:27 PM

• Hi Y'all, I see we're struggling to find a quick consensus and it may be the case that we're just not going to find a day that works for 100% of the league, but we'll try to get as close as possible. I'm a bit swamped at work this week, but I'll confer with Co-Commish and see if we can get some specific options to everyone. We won't be looking to pick in the next week or so, so don't worry about that

  Homer to the Max on January 28, 2025 4:23 PM

• This week is bad for me, but anything after the 3rd works for me in Feb

  D'Anconia Copper on January 26, 2025 8:01 PM

• If we struggle to find a good day in March, I'm not opposed to February.

  Rockford Peaches on January 26, 2025 6:26 PM

• 16th evening is a no go due to another draft. Weekdays after 7pm can fly for me most of the time.

  👹 Wendigos 👹 on January 25, 2025 6:24 AM

• I can do most anything except the afternoon of the 9th (evening is okay).
  Weekdays are tough. I cannot do Tue evenings, and I have stuff every other Mon & Wed.

  Rockford Peaches on January 24, 2025 6:05 PM

• A weekday might be a better way to go

  Homer to the Max on January 24, 2025 5:44 PM

• Not sure if its relevant, but since some have concerns with Sunday as well, I am also OK with Monday the 17th after 7pm EST but I know time zones make it tricky on weekdays. Sunday the 9th would be OK for me as well

  D'Anconia Copper on January 24, 2025 1:39 PM

• Sunday Night works better for us

  John Henry's Poverty Franchise on January 24, 2025 12:47 PM

• Either 15 or 16 is ok for me

  Springfield Isotopes on January 24, 2025 12:32 PM

• Could not do Saturday night. Sunday day is ok

  Homer to the Max on January 23, 2025 11:16 PM

• Either day 7p or after is good for me

  Maybe This Year on January 23, 2025 8:02 PM

• I already have one Ottoneu draft on the 15th. It's at noon CST, so I could do something 3 pm or later or a breakfast draft at say 8-9 am. I would prefer the 16th which is wide open for me regarding the specific time.

  Cary-Grove Cheese Balls 🧀 on January 23, 2025 7:15 PM

• I would also prefer to avoid the 16th as I have two other drafts that day - but I can make it work if its the best option.

  D'Anconia Copper on January 23, 2025 10:11 AM

• I couldn't do Sunday after 5:00 PM Eastern. My home league always drafts Selection Sunday at 7:00.
