Welcome Tangletown to one of the original Ottoneu 4x4 leauges! Glad to have you.
-
Thanks for having me. Excited for the off-season
-
Looks like we've had a new owner claim Papi's team. Welcome Tangletown Studebakers!
-
Thanks for the two good years and advance notice, Papi! You'll be missed. For the rest of the league, if anyone else is thinking of abandoning, it would be great to know ASAP so we can have max time to find a replacement. Let us know either on the message board or in a message to DJIB or me. Thanks!
-
For everyone else, please message urbina or I if you have an owner interested in taking over BPMs team.
-
Thanks for letting us know BPM, still amazed you could keep up with that many leagues. Best of luck to you next year.
-
Hi Commish, wanted to say it's been a pleasure playing with all of you this season. Got way too many leagues and cannot maintain so many teams (time consuming and $$$). So I won't be renewing, some talent to attract new owner for next year so you should be able to quickly fill vacancy. have a good arb and a great future season! Thanks Commish for great work
-
Congrats AHWT, such a fun first season for us, looking forward to next year to try to chip away that gap between us.

Congrats AHWT, way to get ahead and stay ahead! Looking forward to the offseason.
-
It was certainly an odd year and unconventional win. The team somehow carried by Chris Sale returning to an unexpected Ace, Vlad JR being good again, Jarren Duran and seemingly every starter on my team just hitting 20 homers for some reason. Feels nice to pull one out since the 2018 rebuild started. Thanks for the congrats ya'll. looking forward to the off-season.
-
What's most impressive is winning with J-Rod 🤮 He helped that last stretch for sure, but combine that with how bad Riley was to start the season? That's good.
-
Great season, everyone! Big congrats to AHWT on his breakthrough win this year. Enjoy the playoffs and I'll be in touch shortly to gauge interest for 2025. For those who will be following on to next season, the offseason officially kicks off in around 2 weeks with arbitration.
-
Congratulations on the chip, Teix!
-
Have a good off-season, everyone. See y'all in Dec.
-
Oh. Well. Looks like we can't finish the league this year. Let's just pack up the bags, strike the record, and try it again in 7 months or so?
-
Hmm...now the Ramirez and Vargas auctions aren't ending.
-
Excellent! Thanks for sorting it out
-
Awesome, thanks!

My mistake -- he won at $23. There's even a record of the transaction.

Niv fixed it, Suzuki is on Escape Pod for $23.
-
Escape won the bidding with $26 -- could we just move Suzuki to his roster at that price?

I reached out to Niv to see if there's anything he can do/see on the back end.
-
...I don't know. The commish tools aren't setup to allow us to cancel ongoing options, so I don't think it's something Urbina or I did. I'd recommend restarting the auction and hope he doesn't hit 7 homers in the next two days.
-
What happened to the Seiya auction?
-
Geeze Louise the price on the prospects. Outrageous!
-
Well, now I'm bringing you a Bazzana jersey! I knew he was Australian but he doesn't have much of an accent so I assumed it was like a Kyrie/Ben Simmons thing and he came to the USA pretty young.
-
Fun fact: Travis Bazzana is from western Sydney. Youth sport is run through clubs here rather than schools, and his former club (Kuringai Stealers) is a common adversary for my club. The obvious caveat is I play in D grade with the guys with creaky knees and bad backs and he was playing at a much higher level even as a teenager. But still it's been very special for Australian baseball. The product has improved dramatically here in the last 5 years and we're all very excited for what comes next.
-
Looks like I'm buying Urbina a Guardians hat to represent his new franchise player.
-
Makes sense, Twosies. Thanks for explaining and I apologise for casting aspersions on your process. Good trade, JAGF. I guess this means the hot stove is officially on. Looking forward to an exciting chase for the second half!
-
I mean I agree that we should let owners do whatever they want. God knows the last place manager whose pitcher hurt his esophagus shouldn't be making judgements on others. Sorry for the shenanigans.
-
And to the rest of the league, I will trade Brooks Lee. He is on my block after all.
-
Bruh lol you don’t gotta spill our private trade talks to the league. Lmfao 🤣

*last year, not last night

The league was likely to bid up Judge to $65 or more... with his injury history I couldn't risk waiting longer to get some value for a player I really couldn't retain and field a winning team next year. If my man Teix had parted ways with Brooks Lee this would have been a differently story. Lee is a beast

This league kept more players last night than every other Ottoneu league I'm in. Since I've joined this league, getting good pitching has been an uphill struggle. It's risky, but someone has to start for you! I'm extremely high on Taj Bradley, and Ben Rice is likely to lock down 1B next year in an extremely favorable Yankees ballpark, freeing me up to trade Harper. Kodai Senga has had a lost year, but I loved him in Japan and am willing to wait. Thorpe's changeup is the best in baseball.

Just wanted to add for full disclosure that I'm going to sleep on it tonight and vote to approve in the morning barring anything serious coming to light.
-
Not a deal I would make, but as long as there is no evidence of collusion and it makes sense to the two owners involved in the trade, I do not believe there is grounds to overturn it. That said, if you feel it is unfair, I invite everyone to vote their conscience and we'll see where the chips fall.
-
HOW?! it's a lost year but God dang
-
I hope no one had Tucupita Marcano on their watch list.
-
Yep! That is exactly what it is. BRB, time to go nominate all my old cuts from the beginning of the season.
-
Not sure exactly what you're referencing, but often players will nominate old cuts to eliminate the cap penalties. This article kinda gets into: https://fantasy.fangraphs.com/ottoneu-101-navigating-ottoneu-cap-space/

So - is there some kind of strategy I'm missing? Win an auction then immediately cut that player? Is this a - "I can't have him, so neither can you" kind of thin.
-
If anyone is wondering, John McMillon has 5.1 IP in AAA ball this season and has walked 12 guys. Only one homer, though.
-
haha, we have a long list ourselves, so eventually we'll get one and stop spamming the bid board.

-
Sorry Dansby. Wish we could expand to 100 man rosters so I could just rostering 40 relief pitchers that I like I’m crushing on.

Tex: rude...

Well, it was fun while it lasted, guess there's always next year. -SD
