Essentially, it’s the Wild West until the keeper deadline. And then it resets. So...yeah. Have at it. But, arbitration and the cap will take care and of it all.
-
Rule VII
c.... there is no salary cap from the end of the MLB season until the keeper deadline.
-
And I don't want to hear one word from anyone when I do it.
-
Evidently it doesn't matter if you go over roster limit while picking up or blocking others from picking up free agents late in the season. Since there is no accountability to have a legal roster and go into arbitration with extra players. Let it be known, that in future years I will be bidding, blocking, and hoarding every player I can find late in the season. I will not waive players appropriately and go into offseason with an abundance of players to choose from and way over the salary cap.
-
Chihuahuas-send your cuts to Commish.
-
Welcome Couth! I'm a Mets fan but currently living in Minnesota, so would be doubly happy if the Twins could finally win a playoff series against the Yankees.
-
Thanks, this may be a slow rebuild. I'd appreciate all arb dollars going towards Chris Davis. It's in the team name so you won't forget. Happy offseason, and let's go Rays
-
Good news- offseason baseball warriors! We have a new owner for Margaritaville. Couthcommander is a member of another Ottoneu league (along with Daniel, the owner of Rye Bread). We are joined by a VERY solid owner-he's got his work cut out for him, but I'm more than confident that we have added a very able bodied owner to our league. Welcome him with open arms. We are closing in on arbitration season (10/15). Let's do our homework and make it a valuable part of the league!
-
I'm a White Sox fan, so I have not had much to cheer for lately. Have followed the Braves since the early 90s (thanks TBS!), so I will be pulling for them
-
Margaritta's owner contacted me last night to have me "abandon' his team. We spoke about this near the end of the season and he agreed this was best for the league stating that we deserve active participation. So, it's good to know he made a good decision for the health of this league. In the end, we have an available team. If you know someone interested in the spot let them/me know. the team can be picked up by anyone in the Ottoneau community. Hopefully it's filled prior to arb. begins.
-
Enjoy the postseason. I’m a huge, season ticket holding Cubs fan. So, I got nothing in the line. Still, I’ll watch all the games when I can. Hoping for lots of game 5s and 7s. Pensive and agitated looks on fan’s faces. It’s the Astros to lose. I kinda hope Kershaw can get one though.
-
Okay fellas and gals, who you pulling for this postseason? And who is your favorite team? I'm a Braves fan, so Go Braves!!!
-
Yeah. Rosters locked as of 11:59 Sunday evening. I made the appropriate roster changes for the Krushers. Please let me know what changes need to be made to illegal rosters. A couple of weeks before arbitration season is upon us.
-
Congrats on the championship! Haven't logged in for a few days. Rosters appear to be locked. Could one of the commissioners please drop Desclafani from my squad to get me legal?
-
Chihuahuas and Krushers need to cut players and get the roster limit legal. If an owner is gonna bid players late, and potentially block another owner from acquiring a player, then the owner should be held accountable to make the appropriate cuts. Shouldn't be able to go into arbitration with extra options. Those owners need to report to Commish who they want to cut, so Commish can make the cuts for them.
-
nicely done
-
Congrats Willy's!
-
Thanks Eloy. I made some bold moves and will probably pay with a possible 2015 Royals’ tear down. We will see. My only regret is it wasn’t a fully active league. Gotta make it happen. This format deserves full participation. As a partial commissioner, this falls on me. Hopefully, we can clean it up. Happy post season baseball everyone!
-
Congrats to Willy's! Your team was pretty amazing from the all-star break on. I was expecting to lose some ground considering my IP pace, but I didn't expect a juggernaut.
-
FYI-We want to avoid the midnight trade deadline issues from last season. I suggest we utilize Saturday, August 31 Midnight PT. I believe everyone here lives in the continental US. If not, we can move it later. I hope this is an easy solution. This goes for any trade in any time zone. Midnight PT on August 31. Please let me know if you have any issues. I want ot make this as simple as possible.
-
I'm attempting to contend, but I did not have an issue with the trade. Maybe Max returns this season and throws a handful of starts, or maybe he gets hurt right before coming back again. You could argue he is a keeper next year, but maybe he isn't to everyone. Max was offered to me, and I passed. I'm guessing Max was shopped to most teams near the top and he was traded for the best (perhaps only?) offer. That is really all you can ask from league mates.
-
How did that scherzer trade pass? Total joke. Im good on this lg. Appreciate the opp. Best of luck to all. Im going to abandon this team. Thanks again.
-
Welcome to the group!
-
Hey all, I've claimed Stud Foundation's team. Look forward to competing with you guys!
-
FYI- Stud has been abandoned.
-
Commish - You are good to abandon my team. Thank you.
-
Hey Guys, my bad - Im abandoning the team as I obviously have not been keeping up.
-
One team has not logged in for two months, and another team has not logged in for almost a month. Anyone friends with these owners/know if they are still playing?
-
Hey everyone-great race for the championship shaping up for our league. Let’s make sure we are keeping our rosters legal.
-
Oh now you guys are into prospect porn. I was just trying to live my 11th place rebuild dream and this is how I am treated.
-
All my studs are available. Time to blow this up.

Hi all...I have no ability to adjust line ups through the league's commissioner's tools. The only thing I can ask is that about 30 seconds be paid to set your line up via your roster settings. This would be "Set Lineups" on the team page. You can safely "let the team go" from there.
-
If it is a pattern, or perhaps could be one, then its something the commissioners will address if they choose. Just set your lineup. Takes 30seconds. If you can;t just reach out to ppl. It isnt anything against you but it does subtract a bit from the experience of a competitive lg.
-
If anyone wants my team, I'd be happy to give it up...i realized pretty early on that time is of the essence in this game, and as of now, I don't have enough time...
-
i think everyone respects and recognizes ppl have real issues going on. we all do. nothing was meant in a bad way.
-
Could it be that this team's owner has other issues to deal with?? Also, you do realize that this is only a game, right??
-
can we temporarily have the 2 commish's once in a while set the lineup? it makes sense why he never responded to my trade offers lol
-
I remembered that team with a really low score last year and just noticed it was pretty much abandoned all of last season. Less than 1000 IP, only 5 games at 1b, 17 at 3b, 23 at SS, and 330 at OF. It sucks, but I understand injuries or why someone would give up at the end of the season, but between last season and 0 starts so far this season this team doesn't seem to be getting managed.
-
Margaritaville?
