Completed survey
-
Thanks for the input Diamond Dawgs. I am still waiting on two owners to fill out the survey. If everyone who has completed it could message me just so I know which to owners I am waiting on, I would really appreciate it. Once all owners complete the survey we can discuss the results and how to move forward.
-
Completed survey. I voted to maintain the 28 day login requirement. I was worried that someone might have an extended situation (medical, family stuff, vacation) and not able to login. If the league wants to shorten that period I would not be against.
-
Good on the survey. Thanks, Commissioner.
I’m also interested to hear from those who played both years whether they preferred this year’s roto formaf or last year’s h2h and why.

Completed as well, thanks!
-
I have done the survey thing. Commence with the OS!
-
All done! Thanks for putting that together man!
-
All completed!
-
Please complete this survey whenever it is most convenient for you. I really want 100% participation on this. As usual we will necessitate that a rule change receive at least 8 favorable votes to pass. (There's also a question about potentially upping the price of the league which I would want near unanimous approval to pass since I don't want to remove multiple owners from the league just over price). Here's the survey: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/3JWRNDP

Hi Everyone! I've had some owners reach out to me about potential rule changes for next season, so I've created a survey in order for the league to decide on these proposals. This also includes the rule change we were discussing during the middle of the season. If anyone has any other rule changes they wish to propose, either reach out to one of the commissioners or post it here on the message board to get the league's opinion.
-
Congrats Eric! Looking forward to the offseason
-
Astros need to finish off a great season.
-
Definitely pulling for the Rays and Dodgers.
-
Belly ball is 2 name changes and 1 prospect cycle away from a dynasty. Also I’m pulling for the Twins, A’s, and Rays in the playoffs.

Congrats Schroedingers! The future is comin for ya!
-
Congrats Bats! Who are we all pulling for this playoff season?
-
Congrats Schroedinger's Bats! Really thought I was gonna catch you earlier in the summer but you pulled away and won easily. I enjoyed the season-long points format this year. I'll for sure be back next year. Cheers to another good season and some October baseball!
-
(I may or may not have already known this fact.) Cheers!
-
I went back to look, and Schroedinger’s Bats took the top spot on May 14th and has not relinquished it since. Congrats on a dominant season!

My current plan: Step 1) acquire 60 players on a 40 player roster. Step 2) ? Step 3) Profit!

I should mention the most important offseason rules—as some owners have already noted—is that roster and salary caps no longer apply, you can cut anyone but additions are disabled until after the draft. Trades can take place between the end of arbitration and the keeper deadline and then are disabled again until after the draft.
-
If for any reason you think you will be unable to participate next season just let me or Jason know so we can find a replacement owner that can take over all of the offseason duties. If you have any questions about offseason rules and timelines feel free to reach out. There is also this nice graphic which helps explains things: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1I51quGaMdCqjZMWY345SDiepQX9vQCJ4RrhB5Rbvx_I/edit?usp=sharing

Happy final day of the season everyone! Apologies for sort of falling of a cliff with regards to the rule change we were discussing weeks ago. Just moved and started a graduate program about a month ago so life has been a bit hectic. In a few days I'm going to make a new poll about our proposed rule change so we can get that squared away.
-
I feel like Those extra couple homers by Kyle Lewis May have upped a few bids : (
-
Update: Red Sox fan... out of hope. Goodbye Dombrowski, Hello rebuild?
-
Neutral fan and I have no strong feelings one way or the other.

A’s fan. Hoping for the best!
-
Red Sox fan... still clinging on to hope.
-
As a Mets fan I think I’m just gonna pretend the season ended today. See you all next year.
-
I feel like we had our trade deadline on July 31st, not August 31st. It was pretty clear who was “in it” back then I guess

Judge is on the move.
-
Judge is also available. Looking for a cheaper OF option/solid RP. I can eat money if needed.
-
As the trade deadline quickly approaches I am up for selling Trout, Machado, Benintendi, Machado, Stanton, and Diaz
-
Additionally, it looks like we will need to vote on the question Ben's Banter proposed on whether or not an owner can indicate interest in a player in hopes to start an auction for that player. I will make a survey for that once I get ample participation in the current survey.

Just to avoid a mass of posts re explaining the matter, I reached out to Bellyball via the messaging on the site to clarify.
-
Hi Guys, just for my clarification with what is being discussed (honestly, I’m a bit confused at the moment): are we trying to decide that if an owner were to drop a player, he cannot bid on that player if he is put up for auction within 30 days of being dropped? Even though that is legal right now. Is that the rule change we are discussing? Sorry, I’ve been trying to keep up with the back and forth.
-
Good question. I don’t think I lean heavily one way or the other so I’d like to hear what others think.
-
I know in that situation the owner is usually just going to cross their fingers that no one starts an auction for 30 days so they can do it themselves. But if they really want that player sooner, I wasn’t sure if preemptively signaling that interest would be ok with the rule as proposed.

One question on the rule proposal: would the former owner only be able to signal interest if someone else starts an auction for the player in question? Or could they say “I am interested in getting [Player X] if someone starts an auction”?

Amidst moving and starting a graduate program, I had been checking this less often. Nevertheless things have calmed down a bit so should we hold a vote on which rule we add in the charter regarding owners effectively bidding for owners who are unable to participate in certain auctions? It seems like most people agreed with Burrito's proposal so I can just make a survey to see if we want to add that to the charter and if it fails we can discuss other options.
-
If anyone needs quality RP help, I have it.
-
I'm real upset I didnt start Heaney for that 14 K outing!
-
Any overpriced guys people trying to sell before the trade deadline I am interested.
-
I would say that’s the risk the bidder takes with a deal like this and most deals are unlikely to fall through unless an injury occurs directly after the auction ends
-
I think Burrito’s objections and solution make sense too. Good stuff. One question: is there any concern over an owner expressing interest in a player then, after someone else gets them, saying “I changed my mind” to a trade. Are there consequences for that? Should the bidder just need to be ok with a possible penalty if the trade falls through for whatever reason?
