Thank you! Much appreciated.
-
I will get those guys cut for you. I'm going to give Stooges a little bit as he just logged in yesterday - so he was/has been active recently and this may have just been something that snuck up on him.

I'm also good with that. Looks like we need a replacement for Stooges though.

Assuming Bats is still engaged, I'm fine with it. Maybe we should have a co-commish for this kind of stuff?
-
These are the guys I was assuming were going to to get cut: Molina, Arraez, Baez, Gregorius, Donaldson, K.Davis, Greinke, Clevinger, Tanaka, Lester, Kremer, W.Davis, Jeffress, Romano, Borucki.
-
I don't know why, but I assumed that having guys labelled as "CUT" in my roster page would cause them to get auto-cut at the deadline last night. Now my roster is invalid and locked, so I can't make the cuts myself anymore (even with the salary penalty) - is there any way the Commish can cut the 6-10 guys I'd like to (and meant to) cut?
-
On my trade block I have some guys I would consider moving, if anyone is interested. I would really take any type of player.

I get a little excited, probably too much lol, when I make a trade plus I get excited to see that player on my roster, is there a chance this league would want to change the trade wait period from 48 hours to 24? I know I'm new and I don't want to ruffle any feathers if there was already a discussion about this or if I missed the window to propose possible rule changes.
-
Welcome! Man, I really need to get organized...I'm missing out on all the trade action lol

Hello!! I just picked up the Carlos Danger team and I'm excited to join the league! Looks like there's a lot of engagement which to me is what makes a great league. I know the keeper deadline is <2 weeks away so I'll probably be reaching out to see what kind of moves I can make. If there's someone on my team that interests you, please feel free to reach out. EVERYONE IS AVAILABLE.
-
Last I heard, on time. Maybe.

Has MLB announced an official 2021 seasons start? I'm behind on my baseball news
-
Ok cool! This is all great.
-
And, on that note....Tatis and Gleyber are also available

Great conversation! Here is how I approach it: Before you decide to cut a player, ask yourself if someone might value him at his (maybe) inflated price. Even if you can get a prospect or bench player at a good keeper price, you improve your roster.

Seems fine to me. Classic expensive star for cheap stud prospect+ deal. I can't even declare a winner let alone decide that it's lopsided. If Acuna was much cheaper then it's a different story.

Not only fair, but I think that is the competitive point/fun/intrigue of Ottoneu/dynasty format. Some are ready to compete, others are rebuilding. The market serves both.

$60 is an expensive contract for anyone (even Acuna). Getting Franco for it seems like a fair deal in my opinion, but it's risky.
-
But then any star for prospects to lighten payroll would be fair? Maybe I'm wrong...
-
lopsided what way? He pays for an elite player in what I assume is a win now approach for him, and I get a top prospect and a possible closer in a retooling season...for a player I would not have rostered during a retool season at that price....

That Acuna trade seems a little lopsided - is this all about price?
-
Surprised to see only four people have done their arbitration allocations so far. The clock is ticking!
-
Looks like we got a tie for 3rd on the very last day with Big Bats sneaking in to tie Prairie Hurricanes. Kudos to them both as well as second place finisher Juan Pursuit!

I'm interested in adding pieces via trade before the deadline. I'm looking for speed and pitching.

I have a owner for Bald Eagles, and sent his email info to the commissioner.
-
I’d prefer to draft today, but I’m flexible if we need to push it back.

Well, that didn't work out. I thought he was home, but he is flying today (during the draft). Keep looking!
-
I may have an owner for the last team. He would be a good addition to any league. I am waiting to hear back from him. It's still early here, and he flew back from spring training in AZ yesterday. Back with you soon.
-
I guess I would ask everyone to think if they have someone that would be willing to take the team and reach out to them to see if they are interested. We'll make a call tomorrow morning if we still dont have a 12th owner. Right now I would say it gets pushed back.

I don’t know. On one hand, finding a time was not easy, and looking at the doodle poll (still available for viewing) I don’t see another good time. On the other hand, I’d rather have twelve teams draft. I just don’t know when we’ll find the twelfth person.
-
I think it is going to be much easier to find a 12th owner than finding a draft date that works for everyone, especially on short notice.
-
I hope we can draft tomorrow, but will go along with any change that is needed.
-
I would prefer keeping the date which was set if possible. It was difficult to find a good time for everyone.

im fine as well although was tricky finding a time that worked for everyone. but would def prefer 12
-
Hello - I am all for moving it back to end of March. It would give us a chance to get another owner, a chance for that person to work through the roster they get and give us more planning time if nobody plays. Beat part we can see how many more of players get injured jn Spring Training and we can backup if needed. Sorry Yankees fans :)
-
that does make sense. and that hack for knocking his value down is a little oddball but it makes sense. i would imagine someone out for the year would be worth little other than protection for when he comes back. thx helpful!
-
You do get an extra roster spot if hes on the 60 day IL though - soblast year at the end I stashed a bunch of dudes on the 60 day IL in case they might have some value at a like $3 this year. If that makes sense.

So you carry half the salary, but you can re-auction him every 30 days - so say it's a $15 hit now. In 30 days you can start a new auction for him at starting bid of $8 - you may win the auction in which case hes yours at $8 and I think the penalty comes off. You can then cut him again and then your penalty is only $4 and then re-auction again 30 days later, etc. If you re-auction and someone else wins him then the whole penalty is gone. Double check the actual rules though.

ugh. severino out for the season. remind me again how it works now. i have to carry at least half his salary. we dont have any gimmes for 60 day dls right?
-
Working on finding the last owner - and confirmed the draft time. Have one newbie that preferred the team that was claimed already. Seeing if he will take the other team. If not - I also asked if he wanted to manage the team if we/I covered the league fee. I know Carlos mention he had someone who might be interested in the other team, but if anyone has an extra feel free to bring them into the party.
