I am unable to auction tomorrow.
-
I’m good either way.
-
I'll shoot out an email on this as well, just to be sure everyone sees it.
-
So I have a conflict with the Sunday draft. My sister had a baby and I need to drive down to California to visit her that day, which will be about 10 hours of driving. There's very little chance I'll be doing anything other than being in the car at 4pm on Sunday. I know I dropped the ball on scheduling the draft before so If Mathis wants to take over running things, I can just miss it. That would suck but that's on me. Alternatively, if everyone could move the draft to Saturday I can be there.
-
I'm in full support of this -- I run one league, and I have a co-commissioner as well.
-
I'd like to echo what Mathis for Nerds said and endorse him. If anyone has any issue with sharing the role or any thoughts on the matter, please do let us know. Throwing this open to the group. Give us your comments!
-
Re: Commissioner - Sounds good to me. Always nice to have someone to cover when needed
-
Hi all, just wanted to throw out a suggestion that I shared with GHG (Matt) today. My idea is to have a co-commissioner set up going forward with two people sharing the role for our league. I thought that may be helpful and take a bit of the pressure off Matt, since he has served in the commissioner role alone for many seasons. With that suggestion for having a second person, I also volunteered. Matt shared his support and recommended posting to the group. Messages welcome!
-
Not sure why I missed this, but it looks like Sunday is the preferred date. I'll move the draft to Sunday. Let me know if you have an issue or schedule conflict with that.
-
26th works for me
-
I'm good with the 26th!
-
I can make the 26th work too
-
3/26 would work for me
-
3/26 is good for me
-
I’m also good with the 26th.

Also works for me

Sunday evening 3/26 is good for me
-
I responded to Matt’s last email that the only one of the dates he proposed that worked for me was Sunday evening 3/26. So let me just throw that out there as a possibility. Could everyone do that?
-
Hey are we going to get a draft planned?

Any word on the draft?
-
FYI, I'm sending out an email about scheduling the draft. Please reply ASAP so we can set up a time that works for everyone. Thanks!
-
When will the auction, aka, the Jeremy Peña bidding frenzy, take place this year?

It looks like the vote offs are live.

Wait, what???

Is doesn’t even matter since one team didn’t vote. No one is being voted off now.
-
Ok, wow, those arb results were uhh, interesting.
Someone actually said to themselves “that $69 Wander Franco is the best asset on the team with Aaron Judge and a cheap Shane McClanahan.” I’m guessing it’s also the same fella that threw a vote Suzuki’s way.

Going into airplane mode here, like Brett Phillips! Wheee! Thanks for a great season of fantasy baseball, and enjoy the playoffs! Go Guardians!
-
Congrats Mathis for Nerds. Excellent job wheeling and dealing your way to victory. Well deserved
-
Afraid the race is over. My bats have gone limp. Might have to rename the bombers lest I be accused of false advertising

Great race. Fun to watch back in the pack as a spectator
-
As long as we’re posting our mistakes, I traded my favorite player - Trea Turner - for the young Royals SS in a cost-cutting move not thinking I’d be in this pennant chase. A lesson in hubris

Definitely has been a fun close race for a while, and I have been watching Hippos creep up the standings, with the 'momentum'...now about 20 game days to go, I have not a clue who will be 1, 2 or 3. A regret for me is that I didn't pick up Gimenez in a trade before he got put on the wire! There's a bunch of trades on my ledger, which was fun on its own, but definitely trying to raise the jolly roger this season as best as the randomness of baseball will allow. Flags fly forever and all.
-
Don't remind me, trading away Hader saved my ERA/WHIP though? Rest assured I've made plenty of other mistakes, dropping Andres Gimenez and Clay Holmes, and don't forget I traded away Arenado
-
Oh man this is soooooo close with 3 weeks to go. Thought Mathis might end my reign a couple weeks ago, and he still may, but now the Hippos are also charging from the outside lane, making it a 3-team race. If they finish a point or 2 out from the title that Freeman trade will haunt them

Open to moving just about anybody for the right price. Not looking like my year!

We're making moves now E. Duran at 9, Tyler Anderson at 13 . . . inflation is here!
-
Hey BB → Glad to make an offer, maybe you can post on your trade block what you want for Ketel Marte, haha.
-
Man, I really need to get in on some of this trading action. Someone make me an offer so I don’t feel so left out
-
Hi, no one needs me to pile on, but I just appreciate the fact that we can use the discussion board for discussion. Great league mates, thanks. I am personally good with using the vote approval/veto buttons as confirmation, especially since everyone had a chance to clarify.
-
That's fair, EI, and I appreciate your view point, and further, I have no problem at all with you expressing it. I don't think it's enough to undo a deal though. That, IMHO, is and should be a high standard, where either one person feels taken advantage of, or everyone else feels the deal is vastly unfair. I don't see either being the case here.
-
Thanks for the responses. I’m certainly not trying to be “that guy” and complain just to complain. I don’t have a dog in the hunt as you both have better teams than I do. This one just seems really unbalanced no matter how I look at it. I think Hippos could win the league with those guys, but if he does want to gather prospects I think he can do a lot better for Freeman and Hader if he is also paying their salaries. Just my opinion
-
Agree. If everyone feels the trade is unfair, I'll rescind it. I'm certainly not looking to take advantage of anyone. CH contacted me about Freeman and as I have a bunch of prospects on my roster, that was the only way I could really make a deal from my perspective. Anyway, open to people's thoughts on this, though I should say for the record I don't typically make a habit of undoing trades where both parties are happy. As long as they're genuine.
-
With a zombie team, my draft strategy was to hoard second-tier, non-dynasty types to try and flip into MLB ready talent during the season. I had the Scherzer/Turner Gray/Ruiz trade in mind.
But I get that the trade looks heavy, I assume the inclusion of Hader is the issue. I'm totally fine with whatever the league decides.
-
My defense: Freeman is a rental at a non-premium position, Hader is throwing the fewest innings of his career. All three of the prospects in return are top 50ish and MLB-ready: Casas is top 20, seems pretty low-risk (as much a prospect can be) with that K/BB rate and a clear path to playing time, Duran flopped in his first taste of MLB but is tearing it up again AAA, shine is admittedly off Lowe (43% K rate!) but post-hype sleeper? Shorter defense: it's my first ottoneu season
-
I’m with you
-
I'm really relaxed when it comes to letting deals go through nd people run things the way they want. But can someone explain to me the rationale of the deal on the board right now? It just doesn't makes sense to me on one side
-
Looking to deal Matt Manning for a hitter(s) if anyone wants to make an offer
-
I'm hoping most people can make something close to the draft time. If they can't, I'm happy to hold the draft if you can let me know when you think you'll be there.
-
Will try and make it by 8, should be in draft by 815
