The tightness at the top of the standings is STRESSING ME OUT
-
I think I will try it. If you need to fill a spot, I'm looking for one.
-
Tom Emanski and I will likely be doing a league together. Transferring an ESPN league over hopefully.
-
Anyone going to try ottoneu football?

i feel terrible for Matt Moore, but every once in a while you need that guy you can point to and say, "Not everyone makes it back from Tommy John, okay.".

No objections here; that's fair.
-
Yeah I guess that makes sense. I shoulda looked at the claims before I cut! I can make that change if there aren't any objections.
-
Yelich, do you want Alex Jackson put back on your team?
-
Thanks. All my teams 💩 looks great now
-
Okay, I moved Asdrubal over to Poop Emoji. Let me know if something doesn't look right!
-
Yeah not sure what happened with Asdrubal. 💩and I both submitted claims but somehow we both "won" him and he ended up on my team when 💩 should have won the claim. If it doesn't resolve itself shortly we can commish move him to 💩.
-
Anyone need a catcher? My three all got healthy at the same time.
-
Does anyone else see that Asdrubal Cabrera was "claimed" by two teams in the transactions? Looks like he only ended up on Yelich's team, but wonder what happened there.

That's more connected than I realized too! I got here by luck. Wanted to take over an abandoned team because I was unemployed and broke, had a few choices, and this one had the cleverest league name. And I proceeded to make a lot of trades and have little success from there on out.
-
If an expansion draft played out relative to how they handle it in MLB, where we could protect 15 players. Then proceeded with us adding a protected player every round, it might work. Though, I'd definitely miss the points competition with the other leagues.
-
Oh, ok! More connected than I'd thought. I'm still quite glad it's worked out the way that it has!
-
Nyjerz, O'Cueto, Kang and I went to Kenyon College together and Lindor and I have known each other since we were on the same 8 year old's soccer team in the Chicago suburbs and now live about a mile away from each other in DC.
-
I might not be remembering right, but wasn't it just by luck that we all came together to form this super-league? I know Nyjerz and Yelich knew each other, and 💩 and I went to college together, but we kind of just lucked out getting all these invested people together, right?
-
In other words, too many reasons not to do it, it seems.
-
And there's the issue of how to add an expansion team. How would we decide who can be given up? I assumed it would just be some discount in the auction and a new owner would have to build from what's available.
-
I think we'd all agree that we would want some vetting process for who we let in, but i think my concerns are about the functionality of an additional team. Nyjerz is right that we wouldn't be able to do direct comparisons to 12 team leagues and our dollar values would start to be different.
-
I would assume that expansion would mean an expansion draft, i.e. all of us having to give up players like was done when MLB expanded.
-
I think having a prospective owner that you guys know and trust should drive the interest in expansion, not the other way around.
-
I'm not an asshole?
I guess I need to try harder.
-
I'd be hesitant to add an expansion team, but it's definitely an interesting idea. one thing to consider is that it would make it hard to compare our league (and individual teams) to the leaderboard, which is something i know a lot of us enjoy :-)
-
I don't mind a first time owner (I was when I took over my team) but just would want to make sure it was someone fairly knowledgable and very committed.
-
I'm with you guys, I like the idea of expansion in theory, but don't want to risk getting a crappy owner into our awesome league. Would need to be someone well vetted, like Joe.
-
I'm against it if only because we already have a great group of owners. Why risk screwing that up w/ new unknowns? Someone like Joe would probably be an exception, but still, what ain't broke...
-
Hmm, Niv says expansion teams are an option if a league is interested. Curious what the group thinks on this. Depending on what your off-season plans are you might be more or less in favor of new bidders in the auction and more diffused talent across more teams.
-
Agree. I wish there was a way to have expansion teams. New expansion teams could get like a $2 discount on their bids in the annual auction or something to help them get a headstart on building a 13th or 14th team.
-
Sounds like Joe should just join our league.
-
Joe, a.k.a. ottoneutraderumors, is starting up a new league in the mold of the champions league, but without assholes. Since we're a league of active team owners who aren't assholes, he's opened up the invitation to us. I don't think I can take on a 3rd team, but co-ownership is also an option, and that I might do. Anyone who's interested should hit Joe up on Slack (@ottoneutrades).

Fangraphs was recapping 2010 trades. I keep forgetting Lorenzo Cain is old enough to be in the Grienke deal.

Interesting. I only would have guessed 175 out of 188, so 178 is a pleasant surprise.
-
"Basically half the power score is the total points pace of the league, and half is the difference between the 1st and 3rd place teams in each league by pace. Each component is ranked 1 through 94, with 1st in each getting 94 points toward power score. So 188 would be a perfect score." Our league score is 178.
-
We are tops in the league power rankings again! 🏆
-
I'm looking to make a trade for *literally* any outfielder with a starting job. If you have some shitty outfielder on your team and want to turn him into someone you might keep for next year, please let me know.

My pitching staff combined for -27.2 points today, so I think I have a claim there.
-
I'm convinced I'm this league's absolute worst day-to-day manager. Once I figure out how to make a pretty graph about it, I'm going to prove how bad/unlucky I am at getting the right guys in the starting lineup.

Wait a second... David Price plays for the Blue Jays?!?!?!?! *dies*

Nyjerz is back in first! 🔔SHAME🔔SHAME🔔SHAME🔔
