Thanks everyone for tanking this year and taking it easy on me. I'd love to give up my keepers next year to make a run at the OPL championship league and hopefully be out of your hair and rebuilding come 2026.

Congratulations to Make it Rayn on the championship! I tried to make a run at you but came up short. You have a hell of team, my hats off to you. Also shout out to Gym Rats, 3rd place in this league is not easy👍🏻. Great job by the league this year, it’s a difficult league. And you lot are a tough bunch to beat. Looking forward to 2025!

I’ve resisted the temptation of assortment of random mediocre players for 2nd best SP in 2024

Really hope no one falls for one of these awful offers from rayn

if the yankees acquire Flaherty he's sadly on the block

Kyle Manzardo is basically the next Ohtani so send your offers accordingly

i also have some players for trade, and if you are into sabrmetrics you will know they are actually 8ppg players instead of 3.3 so offer according your whole farm
High motor gym rats 🧀🐀🐁 on July 29, 2024 1:21 PM

Morel on the block. If you didn't know he should be a 6 point per game player. Looking to trade for expected results only, not actual.

Everyone is talking about how much they love Fantrax

Hagen Smith not even in the players list yet, already on fantrax, with a position and team. shocker

Ok I see him now, danke

That one backfired 😂

We can see him on your team page from our end listed as a utility guy. For you to see him, you'd have to scroll down below where it lists your pitchers
Dirty Littell Secret on July 24, 2024 12:59 PM

So I got Chase Burns or not? I bid the same as the guy who started the auction, also he doesn't appear on my team page, is this because the autist in charge hasn't assigned him a position or team yet?
Southern Comfort on July 24, 2024 12:56 PM

He's in AAA so I would not be in compliance
Dirty Littell Secret on July 18, 2024 12:11 PM

claim tyler alexander and you can be in compliance noone wants him so you have no excuse
High motor gym rats 🧀🐀🐁 on July 18, 2024 11:25 AM

Just claim one of the SPs that is currently in the list or auction 1-2 if you think you can wait that long.
Willy Adames Never Molested Kids on July 17, 2024 6:46 PM

Teams need to stop optioning my players to AAA. Don't they care about me being scolded?

Speaking of that Mr. Cake, it says you only have four eligible SPs, you might have enough time to correct before it impacts the restart.

The only type of person who’s worse is the type who doesn’t have a roster in compliance

amen, brother
Willy Adames Never Molested Kids on July 11, 2024 1:34 PM

just shows you the kind of owner Rayn is, a gutter rat himself, i for one will never trade with someone who turns a blind eye to players who commit crimes against women

That Wander Franco redemption lotto ticket lasted a good 12 hours before another life ending charge got dropped on the scumbag

so is he in cumpliance yet?

Raleigh also available if anyone has a C need
Southern Comfort on June 27, 2024 10:32 AM

OK I think I've hit my limit on 1 pt SP turns and -30 RP appearances for the season. Send decent offers for Freddie, Yeli, Soto and I'll give them a look

High motor gym rats 🧀🐀🐁 on June 20, 2024 2:21 PM

My team page says 2019 runner-up was the best finish, but maybe I'm missing something there. I've been countering some offers, but letting the really bad and disingenuous ones sit for as long as possible. Working on making my roster better for you all, so thanks for your patience. I fixed it within ~2 weeks of the first time we learned about everyone's new favorite rule, and I'm about 2 weeks out from getting Boyle's spot filled after being optioned
Dirty Littell Secret on June 20, 2024 1:46 PM

Your inherited roster won the league 2 years ago, you were not given crap to work with please don't cry poor about the quality of the players you've had. No one likes shitty trade offers but you're free to counter or tell the offering party to kick rocks. You have like $40 of cap space and keep adding $1 prospects in complex leagues, don't tell us you can't win an auction for a depth guy.
Ohtani paid my league dues on June 20, 2024 1:28 PM

Well I personally wouldn’t rely on trade offers to get my roster in compliance. FYI, you have a whole myriad of players that you have cap penalties on that you could re-auction. By doing that you could just hang on to one of them and in that process save yourself about $20 in cap space and be in compliance.
Henry Rowengarter est. 2015 on June 20, 2024 1:26 PM

I agree, it’s not that deep. Working on it. I can’t make other teams not bid in auctions or accept my trade offers. Maybe I should’ve just accepted Hicks + Lee for Judge
Dirty Littell Secret on June 20, 2024 1:19 PM
-
It’s not that deep dude, just add a starting pitcher… No one “suddenly” cares, this has been an ongoing issue for the majority of the season. Tanking is fine (I guess), but do it within the parameters of the rules please.
Henry Rowengarter est. 2015 on June 20, 2024 1:09 PM

If we’re brainstorming punishments to disincentive people from working towards sustained competitiveness, maybe we can think of ways to disincentive bad-faith trade offers I’ve been pressured to accept under the guise of “helping” me follow this rule. I’m acting in good faith to build a competitive team, but I can’t say the same for some of the people I’ve received trade offers from. I question the motives of people who suddenly care about the rule when they’re trying to get Judge for peanuts..
Dirty Littell Secret on June 20, 2024 11:04 AM

Boyle was optioned to AAA on 6/5, so it’s been roughly 2 weeks. I’ve been trying to win auctions and make fair trades since then, so I’m forever grateful for your patience with my strategy of revamping an inherited roster
Dirty Littell Secret on June 20, 2024 10:58 AM
-
Boyle hasn't made a start in MLB since May 5, that's about 6 weeks of not having 5 MLB SP. It's just a shame there's no more promotion/relegation to disincentivize this type of "strategy", and nothing we can really do except repeatedly asking Mr. Dirty to follow the rules of the format.

Thanks for the clarification. Working on it
Dirty Littell Secret on June 20, 2024 8:59 AM

The table at the bottom of this page shows how many eligible guys are filling each roster spot. It does look like you need another SP, but otherwise meets code. https://ottoneu.fangraphs.com/566/tools
Willy Adames Never Molested Kids on June 20, 2024 8:39 AM

I was in compliance for a while, officer, but some teams sent guys to AAA. I've been trying to win auctions and make trades so I'm working on it. On April 23, 2024 at 6:36 PM, you were okay with 10/15 day IL guys counting towards compliance of this very serious rule, so does that mean you've changed your mind? Cavalli being stretched out and should be activated soon within the next few weeks (if that helps).
Dirty Littell Secret on June 20, 2024 7:20 AM
-
@DirtyLittleSecret, you must get your roster in compliance. You need 22 major leaguers capable of filling out a starting lineup. At the very minimum you need at least 1 more starting pitcher. I would say you need a healthy major league player in all the starting spots you’ve stashed IL players as well.
Henry Rowengarter est. 2015 on June 20, 2024 12:40 AM

2 OF and a 3B unless Walls is getting activated

Lots of interesting bacteria and microorganisms incubate in middle school aged kids. Would’ve preferred something more retro like swine flu. Can someone on code enforcement/ neighborhood watch confirm that I just need to fill the rest of my OF spots with ML guys to be in compliance?
Dirty Littell Secret on April 24, 2024 8:35 AM
-
Yeah, it's real dumb, Ben. These guys think rules are more than a guideline. If you want to slap a sticker on your team that says "Guaranteed Piece of Shit" you should be able to, IMO. I didn't even realize people can still get COVID, but glad to hear they didn't need to hook you up to the ventilator.
Willy Adames Never Molested Kids on April 24, 2024 8:09 AM

Yes you can thank sandy for this league being such sticklers to the rule book unlike other Otto's where its the wild west
High motor gym rats 🧀🐀🐁 on April 24, 2024 7:58 AM

Okay, thanks for the clarity. I'll look into my roster situation as soon as possible - which might be this weekend. Super busy this week with both jobs (missed time last week and over the weekend with COVID because parents will send their sick kids to school no matter what). Fully vaxed and boosted too so thankfully it wasn't too severe
Dirty Littell Secret on April 23, 2024 6:45 PM

It's a gray area but the rule is meant to maintain a baseline level of competitiveness. For "healthy" I'd say 10/15 IL counts towards being able to fill the requirement but 60IL doesn't.
