I can't void wins, Niv has removed several owners in leagues for unknown reasons ( suspect 2 or more teams in same league ) Niv runs OPL and this team should have been removed from OPL. playing loose with his own rules. This wouldn't have happened in GDR.
-
He can bid more because he has room on his roster by not following the rules . That's a problem.
-
I guess my view, Aaron, is that we are not entitled to any player in the ecosystem and if we want that player, then we need to bid more to ensure winning the auction. I also lost at least one player that I started an auction for and this owner won. I could have bid higher, but my finances were tight...that's my problem.
Also, the only thing I care about from my fellow owners is that they are trying to win. Trying to win now, or next year, or in OPL...that means they are engaged and
-
We can't take away wins and shouldn't in this case but I agree with the Bears that we should add "some RP and be as competitive as possible with the remaining schedule."
-
"but the focus was on people short cutting to hoard prospects. That's a problem in my mind, this isn't." When an owner gets beat out in auction for a hitter, SP or a prospect by an owner who is not following the roster rules . That's a problem. It's a strategy outside the rules.
-
I agree Dave....unintended consequences
-
Also, I feel like OPL needs some scoring adjustments to preclude this strategy, but it IS a strategy and that is well outside of my responsibilities.
-
With that said, now that the player is out of OPL, I imagine it is in their best interest to add some RP and be as competitive as possible with the remaining schedule.

My take on this is that if a team owner is doing their level best to be competitive in either official format, or both, then they are abiding by the spirit of the rules.
This spring I listened to a Keep or Kut podcast with Chad Young and they discussed the reason for the roster construction rules, but the focus was on people short cutting to hoard prospects. That's a problem in my mind, this isn't.
-
I did text with Niv and he didn’t think the rule was clear. he wrote the rule. Amazing how the rule was interpreted by many on Slack, like it’s not a rule….discuss this post season.
-
Agreed. Text Niv for suggestions.
-
The owner could start by acknowledging that he is not in line with the rule.
-
I noticed this a little while back and figured it was a strategy for the Prestige league.

Having no RPs is a tough one. I’m not sure how to handle it. There is likely some wisdom and dialogue about it on the Community board.

Buggy Whip, normally weeks are Monday to Sunday. Occasionally short weeks like we had after the AS break are added to the upcoming week to make a 9 day week. The SP limit does not change during these long weeks. Usually means you can get more starts from your bestSPs. The first week of the season and last are usually long weeks like this as well to accommodate the extra games.
-
and five relief pitcher slots. The number of starting pitcher slots depends on the league's Per Week GS Cap setting. Thoughts?
-
As commish i normally assume everyone is following the rules, naive I guess. It was just pointed out me that a team has not had any relievers all season. See rules: In head-to-head leagues and during the playoffs, a starting lineup consists of one slot at each infield position (catcher, first base, second base, third base, and shortstop), five outfielder slots, one additional middle infielder (second base or shortstop) slot, one additional hitter from any position (utility slot) and five relief

@accgrad82 is my Twitter handle. All follows are appreciated. Will follow back.

I am still looking to make a deal.
-
I have 10 players on my trade block. the rest of the league has 16 combined.
-
I am looking to make some trades.I am looking for a bat, an outfielder or MI and a SP. Make me some offers. Only one team has made me an offer since opening day. No trades have been made since the start of the season in this league.
-
Dylan Cease in on the block. Thanks.
-
No, Monday through Sunday.
-
I see that SP is limited to 9 starts per week. Does the week run from Sunday through Saturday?

Welcome Buggy Whip, one difference is the lack of innings pitched ad games played by position.

Welcome Buggy Whip.

Hi everyone. This is my first H2H league so I could have a bit of a learning curve. But I can't do much worse than how the team was performing before me.

Opening day tomorrow, very excited! My wishlist for my team is simple this year...I just need all of my players that had good seasons last year to do so again, and those that didn't to improve significantly.
Best of luck everyone!

Still some spots in the OPL, playoff intensity from the get go! It plays over the top of your current roster, so no active management required!! https://ottoneu.fangraphs.com/opl/

The league is fully renewed!

Boyz - still would like to move Iglesias, and maybe a Kershaw, Ray, Peralta type. Also open to packages for Jrod - cheaper players, decent size haul. Good luck with cuts everyone! Message me or just straight proposal for a counter. We are almost there!

Hey Everyone, I currently have approx. 20 players on my cut list. So if you're looking at your team and thinking "If only I had a bat like Willie Calhoun..." send me an offer before they hit auction.
