Guys, We have an opening in an NL only keeper league that I am the commissioner. One guy just bailed on us. It is a $300 entry fee. There is not a lot on the team that left, but I promise you the player pool for the auction draft is deep this year. Lots of great players. If anyone is interested please let me know and I can send you more details. Draft is next Thursday 3/28 7pm eastern. Site is On-Roto.com
Thanks, Bob

The Tallahassee Horsefishermen Club's trade block has been updated!

...I already had a beer. Gonna have to jump to bourbon for my next drink.
-
Don't accept, Monkey! Whatever Tallahassee's offer is, I'll double it!
-
Yeah, for sure - definitely not saying anyone is screwing anyone else over. I just wanted to make sure we all understood cap space/drops/waivers. I understood the one-player moves in terms of cut penalty/roster space, etc. I just didn't get the cut after that. Valid points all around. Good talk, league.
-
monkey grab a beer and then accept my trade offer. i know you want to.
-
ya i agree. i feel bad that he cut him now tho
-
Lol, it's a non-issue. Just weird.
-
For fucks sake I NEED A BEER
-
I don't think you screwed anyone over. It's just really odd seeing these deals go through with nothing being exchanged from the other side. It looked fishy when Vermont immediately dropped Choo when he clearly has the roster space. From an outsiders perspective it could appear that maybe Vermont is quitting for 2019 and was helping you to get rid of Choo without the cap hit. I'm not necessarily saying that's what happened here. Not sure what, if anything really needs to be done about it.
-
i mean to be fair i did offer choo for nothing to anyone in the league who had cap space. he seemed like he was worth $5 to me during the draft but afterwards i just wanted the roster flexibility. i guess lake monsters messed up his budgeting when he accepted. i didnt mean to screw anyone over.
-
The Dalh/Robles example isn't the same...If you wanted a shot at them, you should've made an offer.
-
For sure, the $1 player is a different situation. However "missing out" on a traditional player-for-player trade because you weren't offered it isn't the same as someone not wanting to eat salary and just offering a "free" player to a team. I'm not saying it's necessarily wrong, but I can see 1) How other owners may have an issue and 2) How this could become a much bigger problem if situations arise involving more useful players.
-
But isn't that with all trades? I would have loved to made a offer for Dahl or Robles but they made that trade without any offers to me. If I cut a $4 player, I get $2 back. But if I cut a $1 player I have to eat his salary, seeing that Vermont is trying to fill out his squad and did accept a similar deal before. I sent him and 2 others the same trade
-
I get that Bird, but also keep in mind how waivers work. If you cut him and Vermont wants him, he can bid on waivers. You'll eat the salary until someone gets him, but at least then the entire league has a chance to bid. I just worry if we get into this habit, only people being offered these types of trades will get the opportunity, or people are going to start throwing out offers for one player only. Slippery slope.
-
Choo one was weird. But I sent a $1 guy to VCM to see if he would want him since his roster needs players, rather then me cutting him and still having to pay his $1 salary
-
I can understand trading certain players where the benefit of an open slot and more cap space is worth more than the player, if someone has interest and wants to take on that player and their salary. However, I'm not understanding the team then cutting them later and taking the cap penalty when their roster is half full.
-
What is up with "trading" a player for literally nothing in return? I've never seen that in any league I've ever been a part of. Not only that, but the first time it happened, Choo ends up dropped by the acquiring team (who currently is only rostering 21 players) less than 24 hours later. I don't see the benefit other than VLM taking on the salary penalty as a favor to the other teams.
-
That was super helpful. Thanks.

Auction*** Let me know if you want screenshots I can share on Slack

Go to the players header page. From there we can get all the stats for ALL players, but system is limited and cannot pull for both hitters and pitchers. So for FA's click on free agents only and then unclick SP and RP then search to view all hitting free agents.Then when looking for pitchers only click SP and RP to view pitching free agents. So I see Rajai Davis for example I will click on his name and a new window will open up with his stats. Under his name you should see a button to start auct
-
I click on players, then any position filter except all, that one doesn’t seem to work, there are options for free agents only and minors

Guys sorry, I keep getting confused, is there a FA list in our league page where i can filter through the players (that doesnt redirect me to the FanGraphs website? Also how do you even start an auction, I find it then can't re-find it. Very difficult site to navigate (coming from Yahoo and CBS)

If you're going to read only one article I post, read this one. It's long, but really does a fantastic job. An Ottoneu vet reached out to me and shared his strategy after I managed to sound confused on the forum. Haha. Here is the link:
