League Message Board

Good work on doing arbitration. Only 5 teams left and you have until the 14th to get those put in.
-
Hello all. I would like to introduce Nick Anander to the league. The owner last year with Squints didn't check since April so I gave him the boot. I would like to have everyone participate and LFP's knows of Nick from the Boston area and thinks he'll be a good active manager. You have until November 15th do arbitration. I'm expecting everyone to take part in that and you have a whole month to do so. I'll send out future reminders as well.
-
Congrats LFP, total dominance!
-
I'm on board, but I'm also on board of helping me find people that we can fill. I know every year we do have an opening, its not easy to find people.
-
Thanks! - got a couple lucky breaks with the trade timing (dealing Crochet right as he stopped pitching well/getting capped) - will be an interesting arbitration this year . . .
And yeah, I agree with Ground Control - this league is way more fun when all the owners have at least minimal engagement.

Could we get a higher degree of participation from those two owners? Or replace them if need be?
-
I’m happy to be that guy: the person who finished in last place hasn’t made a transaction since June and the person in second to last hasn’t even checked their roster since April 6.
-
Just sent payment. Congrats to you 3. Again, if you plan on not playing next year, let me know now so I can try to find someone ASAP before arbitration. If I hear nothing I'm assuming your back and the next message will be to do arbitration. Thanks guys.
-
Indeed congrats to Matt and thanks again to Derek for keeping us all organized. Appreciate it. -ECB

Congrats to Matt on dominating this year. I'm thinking me trading you Sale and Rooker wasn't a good move on my part. When the games are final after today's makeup, I'll send you and the other 2 winners money. $700 to Matt, $300 to scoop and $200 to Ground Control. Thanks again guys for another year. I'll send out something soon about confirming your back. I haven't heard anyone wanting to be done so I'm assuming we'll be back. The biggest thing would be doing arbitration. Thanks!
-
That was an impressive run! I'll pour some of my drink out after the presser :)
-
I traded for Trout on August 11, 2015 and he has been on my roster ever since. With the news today that he's out for the year, probably time to say goodbye. Sort of feel like it deserves a press conference or something...Has anyone else had a player on their roster for the last 10 seasons?
-
Everyone has paid. This year we are gonna keep the same payouts as last year. $700/$300/$200 Best of luck all!
-
I'm down to 4 left to pay. 2 days left til opening day!
-
I have received payment from 4/12 teams (Ground Control, East Coast BIas, Otto-Nudes). Please get this to me by Thursday (opening day). $100 to me at venmo @Derek-Ouren
-
Friendly reminder that we have the draft Saturday night at 8pm Eastern. 2/3 daughter compete in a dance competition all weekend so I will be drafting from my phone or somewhere in northern Minnesota. I might have someone be a co-commish in case anything goes on the draft in case I get busy or thrown somewhere by my wife. Thanks guys and hoping Saturday goes smoothly.
-
By my count: Ground Control/ECB/Otto-Nudes/Barney Tater votes yes (4), Moneyball/Peter Brand/LFP's/Generous Carriage/Marcell Ozuna/Droids/Squints votes no(7). Scoop didn't vote. I would say we need at least the majority to vote and we are not getting that this year. Send me your league fee of $100 sometime before opening day. This weekend I can take them too. I like having all the fees by opening day so we have no funny stuff... venmo: Derek-Ouren
-
Good at $100
-
I’m fine with keeping at $100.
-
Good at 100

I'll vote yes for the increase to $150
-
Same - vote to keep as is at $100.

I'll throw it out to everyone. First $150. Ground Control and East Coast Bias are Yes. Generous Carriage No. 2-1 in favor. Post your vote on here.
-
Could we vote on increasing the league fee?
-
I'm content with $100, but if the majority wants it, then I think that's fair.
-
I would be good with it.
-
Any thought of increasing buy in to $150 or $200? And still keeping 3rd place only getting their money back. I'd like to see the top 1-2 teams really be rewarded for team building year over year.
-
I've heard no "no's" so I'm setting it for the 16th of March. Right now I'll set it for 8pm eastern time. We can adjust that as we get closer. With people on the west coast, east coast, Africa, and Korea, I hope everyone understands everyone or most are going to have to compromise on times. It's a really cool thing to have everyone spread out, but it does bring logistical issues into play on picking time. Thanks guys.
-
3/16 works for me - I'm on the east coast, and prefer something early evening - but whatever works for everyone.

I am good with the 16th
-
I’ll make whatever work. But I would prefer closer to evening EST time. Like at least 5:00 pm. I am like 14 hrs ahead of EST.

I'm 8 hours ahead of the east coast so I would prefer that afternoon.

Good with March 16th also.
-
Seems to me this was an honest and understandable mistake by Ground Control and a reasonable solution from Generous Carriage. No complaints from me about any of it. March 16 is cool with me. Really looking forward to another season with y'all -- I'm glad we've been able to keep this league going.
-
I think we just keep it simple and how we do it. Ground Control made a mistake. I granted the free cut, lets move forward. Draft date options: About 4-5 of us are in another league together and are drafting Friday, March 15th at night. According to our draft availability form, the next night the 16th works best for those 5 guys involved. Figured I would start there asking does Saturday March 16th at night not work for anyone?
-
Agree with ECB - I don't think it's really that big a deal and allowing for an additional cut seems to add unnecessarily complications.

Love that idea Droids. But my 2 cents is that we try to avoid anything that creates more stuff for the commish to keep track of outside of the built-in rules, since that job is already difficult enough. Of course open to whatever the majority (and commish) think. -ECB
-
Possible solution to situations like this. I always thought it would be beneficial to allow each team to have the option to cut one player before the draft. This covers any major injuries, suspensions etc during spring training.
-
No excuses from me, I apologize to everyone. As the commish said, I didn’t know that I needed $1 for every roster spot. That hasn’t been an issue for me in my six years in the league, obviously I should have read the rules. Hopefully you all can tell that I know to drop players when it’s allowed in the offseason as I was the first one to do so. And the issue was remedied immediately after the deadline. Again, I apologize, it was an honest mistake.
-
I have gotten a couple questions about me dropping Manny Machado for Ground Control. He told me he didn't know the rule about having to have enough spots with at least having that amount of money, so his team was deemed illegal. I gave him the benefit of the doubt and dropped Manny Machado. I felt losing Machado who is a really good player was enough and am trusting him that he said he didn't know that rule. I'll take the heat if anyone is really upset.
-
Reminder: cuts and paying Ottoneu fee due by 1159 tonight.
-
2 friendly reminders that need to be done by January 31st. 1.) Renew your team. It looks like you can do it view credit card now for an option. 2.) Cut who you want off your roster without penalization for cutting. After January 31st, you lose cap room for cutting.
-
Everyone completed arbitration. The next step will be cuts in January. I’ll send reminders when we get there. Thanks again for a good year and we should have another fun year next year with everyone back. Thanks guys.
-
About two weeks left to allocate money in arbitration. Half the league has completed it. I hope everyone can get it done.

I have heard nothing back from anyone so I'm assuming everyone is still in for next year. My biggest push will be making sure everyone does arbitration this year. It was not fun going in and manually doing it last year. You have 1 month to get this done. It's due Nov 14. I'll send periodical reminders. I apologize now if you will get sick of it, but please do this. It helps keep the league competitive which I think is what makes it great.
-
Congrats on the impressive season Ground Control. You were in first for over 80% of the season. Including nearly the last 3 months.
