Feel free to tell me if the new name is too much of a reach
-
Right on! Did we get anywhere with the other coupons for GG at all? Obviously not this year but in future
-
Correct - all to the same player is what I remember.

I just want a clarification on the coupons. I can not split the $5 up correct? Example: put $2 on Guerrero and $3 on Tucker

NL Cy Young: Sale ($5) - Cruz Control

I updated my trade block. Open to moving Mitch Keller, Nick Lodolo, Erick Fedde, Lane Thomas, Gleyber Torres, and Jake Cronenworth. All have either average or cheap contracts.
-
Open for trades before cuts!

Yes sir!

Welcome to the new owners!
As an aside, are we now in the free cuts period?
-
Welcome Skunks! Sad you got here in time for arb but oh well lol
-
Would like to acquire an outfielder if anyone wants to chat before their penalty free cuts

Welcome manitowoc skunks. Here I was hoping my arb was done at $25.

Great idea - I honestly feel pretty dumb that I didn't think of that. Just emailed him, so we'll see. Thanks for the idea.

I do not. As commissioner are you able to email him? I’ve honestly never looked to see if we can see each others emails, but i know peaky has emailed before.
-
Anyone know how to contact Cruz Control offline? Hasn't logged in since 10/16, hasn't read messages I've sent dating back to 7/29, and hasn't responded on Discord. Hoping he's ok.

Since we currently have 10 owners, and there are 6 votes (aka majority) for "change nothing", we'll change nothing this year. I appreciate the ideas that were brought forward - kinda wish we had a little more flexibility to tinker with the specific scoring values but also understand why we don't.
There are two teams with owners who have not yet completed arbitration - couple more days or so to get that done!

No change for me as well.
-
No changes
-
No Changes here as well. That is all.
-
I have no interest on changing scoring at all
-
Locking my vote in early for No Changes
-
Thanks for sending that out! What I meant was there isn't a way to keep things the same and just change individual stats (i.e. make a HR worth -10 instead of -12, etc.). Personally I'm completely against anything Rotisserie and was drawn to this league because of the points system. But if majority want that type of drastic change, so be it.

For what it's worth as an owner, I'm very intrigued by switching to Ottoneu Classic. Old School is the only scoring system that doesn't punish HR given up. Classic bases it off HR/9, which obviously correlates to the number of HRs being given up. For that matter, I'd be personally ok changing to Old School as well. Perhaps even an "expansion" draft where we vote on a number of players that we keep, then release everyone else back into the pool to coincide with the new scoring we choose
-
I'll email the various scoring systems to the league since it would require multiple messages here. This decision is entirely up to Infant as the active commissioner, but as Shadow Commish (aka I'm alive and sometimes can still contribute) emailing this out might help educate. Shawn, from that, whatever you choose to do.
-
If someone else knows something I don't, please let me know, but I'm 99.9% certain we cannot change individual stats/points. Seems they're pretty set in their formulas/algorithms.
Reminder that there is less than one week left for arbitration - as of this writing, there are still four teams who have not completed.
Finally, still looking for one more team to join us!

I’d be for reducing the negative points created by home runs but I also see why it wouldn’t happen
-
I would be hesitant to change scoring. I do agree that homers can wreck a pitchers start but I recognize it’s by design since it’s the only AB outcome that directly results in a run created
-
Can we just adjust a way so that HRs allowed don't have such a crazy negative effect on a pitcher's score? Dude can throw 7 IP, 1 run, but it's a HR, and they score the same as someone going 5 IP, allowing 4 runs on 6 hits but they're all kept in the park.
-
Last one, sorry... but unless I'm missing it, I don't see a way to adjust individual scoring metrics. It seems as if all we can do is choose between Fangraphs and SABR. I'll keep looking though.

Reminder that there are two weeks left for Arbitration, and anyone who hasn't will need pay for the coming year by end of January. Cheers!

I don't hate the gold glove idea as long as the money goes towards the award winners. Scoring-wise I'm not sure there's much we can do since it's all based on runs created or whatever the specific jargon is
-
Might I raise that and suggest we look at adjusting scoring in general? I don't even know what options there might be to tweak, but if there's a way to account for WAR or dWAR or something maybe we can look at that too? Spice things up a bit.
-
I’m not against that
-
Soooo I was one that brought an idea forth to Infant, and it was about expanding the coupon system. Since fielding is completely neglected in fantasy I figured why not see if people wanted to do Gold Glove coupons for $1 or $2. It’s not much but it is something to reward good fielding. Could also make it so they have to be used on them. This all obviously depends on how much additional stuff Infant wants to do.
-
Finally, I know a few of you came to me with suggested rule changes during the season. If you'd like to bring them to the group for discussion, please do! I'm open to anything if the group is good with it.

Thanks for the reminder on Arbitration, and a belated congratulations on your Championship!
Also, cheers to Big Papi and Team Battletank who have decided to move on from our league.
If anyone knows anyone who would be interested in joining, please point them our way. I'll give it a week or two and if the spots are still open, I'll get to spamming the community boards to fill the spots.

Good luck to your other teams!

Commish and owners, downsizing quite a bit from my crazy year depression where I was claiming every team or almost, thanks for the fun, but I got to slow down (time consuming and $$), please abandon my team Congrats to winners
-
Thanks gents.
Santa Fe well fought, i was panicking yesterday with the performances Lugo and Woo were having, until Langford hit the HR off Woo
-
Congrats to SBA! A fine team and awesome manager. The series was close for a bit but your pitching depth sealed the deal. Enjoy your trophy and the off season. Well done!
-
Wild playoffs. Congrats to everyone who made it and looking forward to next year!
