Definitely congrats on the championship Jason! That was well deserved. I'm exhausted and lowkey excited to not think about fantasy baseball for at least a few weeks before getting back into it. I think I'm entering total rebuild territory due to some moves I made late in the season, so I'm excited to tear everything down and build around a couple of prospects! That's really the beauty of this game - each year is just so full of interesting possibilities with our teams. Go Brewers! Steven

Congrats Jason! I would like to bring up a message you sent me a few months ago to remind you that anything is possible:
From WAMCO Geckos on August 3, 2021 3:42 PM: "I can’t really see me finishing first at this point — the numbers don’t really add up, barring a total collapse."
Had a lot of fun this season per usual. I'm a fantasy baseball fanatic, and this has quickly become my favorite league. Thanks everyone!

Thanks for a great (worst-to-first) season, gents! This is such a fun league and I know I'm already looking forward to arbitration and beyond. Please allow me to offer my gratitude (and pints -- but they can only be claimed in London!) to our co-commissioners as well. Bring on 2022!!! Jason

Hey! Any of you fellas interested in joining an Ottoneu football league? Football is really really not my area of expertise these days but a few of my friends are football nerds and expressed interest. I think it could be a fun thing to pass time during the sad days of the baseball off-season. Probably just doing the lowest $20 tier. Lemme know!

Thank you, sorry about that.

No worries, I'll see if I can go in and undo it, but if you're in this league go ahead and veto that trade, that'll help just in case I can't figure out how to undo it from the commissioner side.
-
I actually messed up that trade offer. I must have someone unclicked Luis Garcia. But i do not want to trade Rizzo for nothing. Can we undo that trade? Normally i'd eat my mistake but I don't want to upset the competitive balance of the league.

What now Nevermind the Baseballocks... I kinda blanked after I read the first few words of your text... "Imagine having two no-nos in the same week". Nope. Nope, I can't imagine that at all. Is that what they call an embarrassment of riches?

Imagine having two no-nos in a week in your lineup and still being in third place. *Lays down, tries not to cry, cries a lot*

This was the best way to maximize my flexibility without cutting a player I really wanted to hang onto or simply cutting a few $1 guys in the hopes one or two of them would be claimed. So if you're confused, just ask yourself: would you cut one of your guys for $2 Logan Webb? I sure wouldn't

This is no guarantee for a player like Webb, who had received only two bids during his auction (one from Vikings, who currently has no space, and one from Keep It Crispy, who had space to spare). He seemed like a perfect trade partner, so I offered him the deal, and he took it. I now have $3 in space. Had I simply cut my least valuable guy, there’s no way they would have been picked up, and I like all my assets too much to cut a player I can bank on being claimed.

I decided my best route was to trade a player I am willing to cut to a team with cap space. This means I need to A) identify a player that might have value to another team, and B) finding a team with cap space that might want them. I like my players, but Logan Webb stood out as a guy I was willing to cut to free up space. If I had cut him, I would have gotten only $1 in space unless he was claimed.

someone claiming them off waivers; keep in mind, cutting $1 guys provides no certain cap relief whatsoever. And for every unclaimed cut you make, your Cap Penalty grows, which is effectively lowering your salary cap permanently until the potentially unlikely event that said player is claimed.

I am the one who proposed the trade, and here is my rationale:
I have a huge salary crunch right now, which most recently forced me to cut an $8 Anthony Bass (who sucks, but currently has the job). I had no cap space after my most recent acquisition. This is obviously unideal - the ability to bid more than $1 on a FA is crucial. In order to clear up enough cap space to have some flexibility with FAs, I needed to cut guys with at least $4 salaries, or cut $2/$3 in the hopes of som

I’m telling ya. I take no comfort in this lead. Lonnnng season. But I will enjoy the ride while it’s workin!

As for this 1 for 0 trade, thanks for the replies. I'm in no way voting against it, I just wanted to understand the tactical reasoning.
-
Lol
-
Arthurian, have you decided what you are going to do with the first place money here in 2021?
-
I have now benched McMahon and JDM each on 3 HR days. And Cruz on a 2 HR day. Mostly just because I didn’t check lineups in the morning. I can’t complain about standings but just know that my dad brain is in no way gonna let me stay in the lead with this kind of stupidity happening. Haha.
-
This Logan Webb trade reminds me of the Severino debacle almost two years ago 4/19/19 where Streakers trades Severino $26 to Diamond Girl (previous diamond girl now Crispy and not current Diamond Girl) in which I believe diamond girl vetoes the trade but I don't entirely recall the outcome or who ended up getting Severino

If I'm a Logan Webb owner I'm thinking he's one more middling start away from not necessarily being reauctioned immediately, so for me the equation is the promise of immediate cap relief or cap relief down the road.
-
I'm fine with it. I just wonder, if the goal is to get the cap relief, why not cut him and let him go to auction? He obv would have reauctioned quickly. But I mean..I'm not saying cancel the trade either.
-
My two cents: cap space has much more value than we often consider so I don't have a problem with this trade. Diamond is taking a gamble on a pitcher with a $3 salary, Crispy gets some cap relief. I look at it like this: would I have taken Logan Webb for free? Probably not.
-
I concur, you couldn’t throw him a buck or a player to be named later
-
Hey Crispy and Diamond, I'm sure it's legit, but what's up with 1 for 0 trade? TY

Is there a hidden category for accidentally benching Grand Slams? Asking for a friend. Oof!

I’m pumped! I got my 2nd vaccine shot yesterday and I am having some fatigue so I have to stay home from work today. Poor me haha!
-
It's really here... Happy Opening Day!!!!
-
I cannot wait! Somehow my brother and I managed to score opening day tickets to the Dodgers vs. the Rockies tomorrow, so we are beyond excited! That is one advantage to having a miserably run baseball team. It's easy to score tickets. May you all have a fun fantasy season and do a terrible job of managing your teams!

One day away! Excited to kick the year off, y'all. Good luck, and let's have some fun!

It is! 4-hour clocks for each pick. We're actually the 5th fastest group, which is crazy considering one drafter lives in China right now.

Really looking forward to the auction on Saturday, as I need a break from waiting 4 hours to make a pick in my TGFBI league!

Well done Crispy! You guys sound like professionals.

I'd also recommend checking out the Keep or Kut podcast! It's Keeper/Ottoneu focused, which is right up our collective alley.

Hey y'all, sorry I missed everything! I hopped on an impromptu panel on Friday when we had someone postpone their presentation, but I was otherwise absent from the stream.
And don't sweat too much Arthur, you clearly know your stuff!
I do have a show out on the new podcast network called In the Deep, so if you'd like to check it out it's out there! Though we did a bad job choosing a unique name, so searching for my name and my co-hosts name is easier (Jordan White/Chris

I feel all good about my baseball knowledge until he drops "I work at Pitcher List" on me. :D

What?! I had no idea. That's great Crispy! Are you going to be on one of these said videos. . . ?
-
Hi all! For those that don't know, I work over at Pitcher List, and we're running a four-day online baseball convention called Pitch Con. This is a yearly event that brings together tons of great content creators and members of the fantasy community to talk about everything baseball-related. There are tons of panels from 11am-10pm today through Sunday, so feel free to tune in if you have a spare moment! You can watch over at twitch.tv/pitcherlist.

Lol! I agree. I may have gotten carried away in the excitement of it all now that I think about it. It'll be fun to see how it all works though!
-
Just joined. Apparently, I like giving money away. Looks interesting though
-
I joined earlier. I'm very interested in this format. It feels a little bit like buying a $50 lottery ticket with the hope that maybe, JUST MAYBE, I'll draft a rock star team that can compete against the pros. Very unlikely, but kind of a fun gamble.
-
URGENT!!! If you're interested, Ottoneu now has a Prestige League. It was originally limited to 120 spots, but those spots filled up in less than a day, so they just expanded the league to 240 spots. If you're interested, sign up now before all the spots are taken! https://community.ottoneu.com/t/introducing-the-ottoneu-prestige-league/8606

Remember Jan 31 is the keeper deadline!

Happy Sunday, Party Deckers! This is a friendly reminder that the keeper deadline is in one week. Make sure all your trades and roster cuts are in before then. Related to that, I'm overstocked on 2B & OF, so if you're interested in Hiura or Laureano, send me a message!
