Congrats to the Champs!! I agree that we shouldn't try to enact any sort of tiebreaker for this season. And I agree with Showstoppers that it's a great accomplishment to win this league because of how active everyone is so I don't think we should come up with a tiebreaker for future seasons. There wouldn't be much satisfaction for me if a tie was arbitrarily broken after a grueling 162 game season. The chances of another tie have to be pretty small. Congrats again to Miami and Weather!!
-
I can’t think of anything off the top of my head but congrats to both you. This is a great, active league which makes a title even more of an accomplishment.
-
Well folks, barring stat adjustments or whatever, it’s a tie! There’s no official tiebreaker both for ottoneu or for our league so I think Weather Report and I split the riches for first and second (and congrats to Pollock on 3rd) We could decide on a tiebreaker but I wouldn’t feel right enacting it for this season unless there was a league consensus or whatever. Everyone’s welcome to share thoughts if they have em, but I think tie is the correct call here.

All games are final and regular season is over... so who is the Slumpbusters Champ???
-
Yeah it was a heck of a bidding war between Thursday and today! The max bids on the those two were even crazier🙈
-
$27 for Eflin!! $37 for Chacin!! Those are gonna be 2 fun pitchers to keep an eye on this weekend. Good luck to both and thanks for making this a fun race to watch!!!!

PSA: Today's the final day to start any auctions for the season. After Sunday, rosters will be locked through Arbitration. Please keep your roster valid at the end of the season (i.e. don't start 50 auctions today). Thanks all! we're in the home stretch!!
-
Deadline day! All trades must be accepted by 11:59:59 PM tonight to be valid for this season. Two additional reminders: first, this is the last day to trade before the offseason, and second, a reminder of our Arbitration coupons (second page of this file) which will be awarded based on this year's standings. Now.. if anybody has someone that can get me 20 steals in a month please reach out :)
-
My front office better not be leaking anything.
-
Who do I follow on Twitter for all the Slumpbusters trade deadline rumors???
-
Who needs some saves to close out the season???
-
Nice little flurry of deadline deals there, Marlins seemed to make some competent deals! Just sending a friendly reminder our deadline goes til EOD on 8/31.
-
What a night!! Bauer to Cincy, Piug in fight after traded to Cle in 3-team deal.
I feel like this league needs another 3-team deal lol.
-
I have $19 in salary surplus with more to come with OF Stanton coming off the books. If you are looking towards next year and want to trade expensive players you won't be keeping or thinking about dropping someone to clear salary space hit me up.

That may help, if you're still having trouble maybe just reply to the post there and see if Niv can help you out. Unfortunately, I don't think there's much I can do to help with lineup setting on my end, but hopefully there's a solution in the steps in that link.

He had a 1:05 EST start today, so he’s already in a game now, was it an issue for ya before then?

Miami. The site will not let me put McKay in any spot. Any advice?

Let's see if I can go 5 for 5 on injured 2nd basemen...

This is shocking. I am speechless. As a life long Angels fan (I am 48 y/o) to follow this kid; growing up in Southern California and then drafted by his favorite team, just devastating. Ten years ago Nick Adenhart was killed by a drunk driver as he was returning home from a game. And I watched Jered Weaver carve his initials on the mound at the start of every game he pitched. And to have something like this happen again. Tough times ahead. RIP...
-
Good call, Miami. Terrible news to hear.
-
In lieu of today’s news I have decided to remove Tyler Skaggs from SpinningSeams roster to clear any cap penalty, and remove him from the player pool. Thanks.
-
Nice!! Let me know if you need any gelateria recommendations 😃, though I would hate to have to schedule a draft with someone outside the US again like we had to on the initial draft. And I don’t think that guy showed up anyways haha

I'm going to be honeymooning in Greece and Italy next spring. I nominate we change our league name to the International Beach League (or similar).
-
Nice, enjoy the Amalfi Coast, Buehrle! Hope you get a chance to check out the Blue Grotto
-
I love the dedication to the league. I was in Jamaica in April and was still keeping up with my roster too, lol. Enjoy your trips!!
-
Enjoy Miami! I’m in the amalfi coast for the week and it is unreal
-
First of all, I’m in Greece for the week, but fear not I’ll keep an eye on the 20 auctions lol. Second of all, Miami Geoffreys is a fantastic nickname, may have to change my name next season haha
-
Where is Miami Geoffreys? Haven't heard from him in awhile.
-
Yeah no kidding, what happened? Everyone have some free time to spend or what?!
-
18 auctions over the next 2 days. Lots of intrigue!!
-
Any Bryce Harper truthers out there?
-
Apparently, that is my only true skill in this format, since my team is following an abysmal year with what is currently a worse one. I guess hear's to hoping I can at least gain some points and give 11th place a run for their money lol

Hi all, not sure if you all caught Niv’s update this week but I wanted to share: https://community.ottoneu.com/t/ottoneu-fantasy-baseball-qol-update-june-2019/5813 something nice to note, trade block updates no longer post to the message board! Nice update to remove clutter on the message board / email alerts. As always, let me know if you have any questions. Shout out to ATOMO for his second annual escape from salary cap jail with the Taillon add 😬

Miami Giraffes 🦒 's trade block has been updated!

<Insert Pollock joke here>'s trade block has been updated!
-
Yeah good points Carp. I don't want to make a rule, mainly because I hope these deals don't become common in the future, and I'd rather judge similar trades in the future just how we did with this one - open discussion. I think as long as people are transparent about what they're doing then it shouldn't be a problem.
-
Again, I am making ZERO accusations, just wanted to point out a couple scenarios to consider if we decide to enact a rule.
-
(2 of 2) I think we should utilize the waiver system for buyers remorse. For example: If I had interest in Santana, but thought he would go for >$2 so I didn't bother putting a bid in. Now that he's only $2, maybe I have interest, but I wouldn't be on the list for a potential trade or have a chance at him for a waiver claim. If the player is valued, then there will still be no penalty to the original winning team.
-
(1 of 2) Everyone in this league has operated with the utmost integrity which is why this league is so fun. I'd like to use caution tho when trading a waiver claim for no return within a 24 hour time frame just because of how it could be perceived. At the time, Weather and Buehrle were 1-2 in the standings, but what about a scenario that had the last place team sending a waiver claim outright to the first place team (even if finishing 2nd)? I just don't want anyone put in this kind of situation.
-
You guys are totally fine! I don’t expect this to happen super often, so we’ll take it ok a case by case basis. If we were to set a rule for this I’d propose that any team winning an FA auction can trade them for free to another team that bid in the auction within 24hr of the auction ending, prioritizing the trade offer to the team that finished 2nd in the auction. So no qualms from me here. FWIW I made a similar offer like this after I won a player I didn’t want anymore, just wasn’t a
-
Yeah, if the trade doesn’t come across as kosher I’m totally fine with having Santana go back on the auction block. Didn’t mean to have it seem like something sneaky!
-
Exactly that. I meant to lower my bid to $1 and forgot. I thought about asking for one of BL's low-end players, but most of them aren't what I'm looking for (ultra-cheap infield w/regular ABs -- anyone?).
I do think that this may be worth formalizing as a league rule if there's a strong group preference on doing it this way, vs. doing what Miami did with Tyler Mahle. Certainly don't want to bother anyone.
