Hi everyone, I've just completed the calculations for this year's accounting (sorry it took so long this year). I'll be sending out emails with instructions. This year Patrick was the only winner not to incur a cap penalty. Very honorable. Happy Thanksgiving
-
I moved my arbitration of Grayson Rodriguez, but there’s still $1 allocated to him with one day left. There are only 4 protect players total, right?
-
Sorry, been checked out on baseball for a bit. Is it too late for me to protect one player? If I still can, I'll protect Grayson Rodriguez. If I'm too late due to inattentiveness, then so be it.
-
2 days left for several of you to get arb allocated. And one dollar has been allocated by someone on Yandy, who was protected, so it needs to be redirected.
-
Hey, sorry, completely forgot the protection thing. I’ll protect Abrams. I’m slammed on some contract work right now, so it’s going to take me some time to work out this year’s budget stuff, but I’ll do it as soon as I can. Great year everyone, can’t believe how close things were. Wish the World Series was that good.
-
And how! Pfefferjager mmmm 9th place, here I come again in '24

My last place to ninth place debt is payed out...l
-
Who else needs to protect a guy? Mikey, or coop, or both? Let’s get those done so everyone doesn’t have to redo arb
-
Interesting. Stupidly, it seems to be one of the few settings you can not change.
-
Yeah, the one league I played in for several years wasn’t terribly competitive, so hard to draw too many conclusions, but I think the result naturally is that there is more surplus across the board and there are some really extraordinary values that can last for a while. More like true dynasty.
-
Do you play in any? Does that format mess with trade values as much as you would expect?
-
I really wish we’d have made this a vote-off arb league.
-
Good call, I'll protect Yandy Diaz
-
I suppose us in the middle tier need to protect our players from arb. I will protect Gunnar Henderson.
-
Oh! Landjeager! That is worth coming in 9th.

Brent requested no beer, so I'm sending him some Landjeager instead
-
Congrats Schmegs! Another great year. And congrats to Brent for winning Fred's beer.
-
Congrats on back-to-back wins!
-
Thanks! I had a lot go right in here this year. As usual it's the people I play against that make this and FCA my favorite.
-
Well my attempt of scoring 550 points today fell short. Congrats Schmegs! What a dominate team.

Congratulations Schmegs! Back to Back and well over 19K. Impressive.
-
I how you’re right, he’s one of my favorite players, but those 8 starts (with a .223 babip against and a season-ending shoulder injury) don’t seem enough to ignore the rest of his season, or his 40th birthday
-
Counterpoint - $24 might be a little gamble, but he's putting up close to 6ppi in Texas and is over 150 ip on the year. So might be some left in the tank.
-
$304 salary and you still passed me today
-
I don’t disagree. I have tons of free capspace and was price-enforcing
-
I guess I don't: I was surprised 4 teams thought a 40-yo Scherzer would be worth $24 next year. Hoping for a miracle is one thing but this seems like betting on it.
-
I guess we know our league well
-
Four $22 bids on Scherzer.

Adam’s $12 brings our 2023/2024 carry over to $165
-
I owe $12 on that one.
-
That is the worst Ottoneu performance in 2023

Ugh, a -65 point start? Thanks Gosolin 😡
-
Would move Ozzie Albies for equivalent, but healthy OF.

$52 received from Henry for a total 2024 carryover of $153
-
Kenley Jansen is available for someone I can keep
-
Accepted trade means I owe $52. Will transfer later today.
-
$8 JDM is also a great value and would trade for SP or OF.
-
Anyone interested in Devers for an equivalent outfielder? (same price, same production)?
-
Whit Merrifield has taken off since I traded to Schmeggs. 5.07 ppg...batting .306 and hitting lead off . At 1$ he could be kept with his 2b/of combo. Thrown back I could see him going for 4$ to 6$ , with the classic high floor low ceiling tag
-
Sorry for the delay, I’ve been camping. $6 received from Henry for a total 2023 carryover of $101
-
I Da Ho might be one of those Kevin esque dynasty teams, wowza
-
Bergman is up to 5.34 ppg and way hot, available as too expsensive to keep next year
-
Sent
-
Just confirming -- I owe $6 for my new $431 cap.
-
I just traded McLain in both leagues. I could be really really really wrong.
-
Great trade Henry
-
Just missed him, thanks though. About time!
-
Hey Mikey CES is up and starting today…I’m using him at 1B in FCA.
-
I disagree that the incentives don’t work on anyone—I don’t expect to win this league this year but I’m not treating it like FCA either. Same maybe for Mikey (I will finish ahead of you Mikey!). But if others are going to ignore the spirit of the league it seems I’m wasting my time. Now how can I get 9th..,.
-
I agree that 1 thing we wanted to do was avoid the $800 teams, and the cap obviously does that. But—just like in real baseball—the problem isn’t (just) teams trying to win. So the complicated set of incentives/penalties for tanking. I agree with the obvious statement that it’s not effective.
