You're probably right, I should have kept it at that. I didn't mean to make it personal. If it came across that way, I apologize.

TBH it seems like sour grapes. It was one thing to say please vote on a trade but there was more done than that.

Well I guess the point about voting on a trade is that people either approve or disapprove and however it lands then that's the will of the league.

I get your points and I dont disagree. But there are bad trades beyond collusion. I'm not going to go into the details on why I think it is a bad trade because it doesn't matter what I think. But that is the point of the vote, if more than half the league thinks its a bad trade, then maybe it is.

Just because Semien and Belly are off to slow starts does not mean it’s a bad trade. Acuna is far from a sure thing at this stage. There have been far worse trades made in this league over the years…but I’d reference what Diesel said…different owners value different things.
Mall Karate on May 3, 2025 12:34 AM

I agree with Diesel. Fantasy in general unless it’s collusion, you never have a fair look into where another team is coming from. It’s also part of the gamble to take a chance that a player exceeds expectations while another might fall short. I’ve been part of plenty of trades that people complained about but in hindsight worked out. Unless it’s collusion, it’s an owner’s decision in my opinion.

Agreed. I almost always vote on trades. I am fairly new to this league but have been playing several years in two other leagues. I think this is only my second or maybe third veto.
Who You Calling Pfaadt? on May 2, 2025 4:50 PM
-
While I get your point and have used the veto button maybe 3 times in my 6ish years of playing Ottoneu. 2 of them have come in the last 2 weeks here. Both of these 2 trades, in my opinion, have made 2 of the strongest teams stronger. which hurts the entire league , again in my opinion. Its not just about the individual trade but how it also affects the league as a whole.
Blue Sox on May 2, 2025 3:29 PM
-
Unless there is a case of potential collusion I never use the veto button on trades. Otto owners tend to have different ways of valuing players and varying ways for roster construction. There are always going to be deals every season that raise an eyebrow

I agree, I'm glad you said something. As one of the commissioners I didn't want to overstep. But this is the 2nd questionable trade in the last couple weeks. Me and the other commish were talking about ways to get owners more involved in voting on trades. We generally only get 2 or 3 votes at most on a trade.
Out of curiosity, let's see if we can get more vote participation on the current trades.Blue Sox on May 2, 2025 2:48 PM

I dont comment on trades often but that Acuna trade looks like a giveaway

Don’t be so hard on yourself, can’t win em all. I’m over here making trades like the Cleveland Browns…

Hey who has Eugenio Suarez, what a day he had? Oh wait, that's me. 56 points for my bench. If I had anybody to replace myself I would fire me!

12 Mar 7pm on the draft.
If anything comes up and you can't attend, let me know ASAP. I might be able to find a proxy, but no guarantees.
Now, everyone team up to defeat Diesel Donnie. That guy has won 3 out of 4 years and I'm half convinced I need to kick him out of the league entirely to give the rest of us a chance.

Thanks for putting this together, blue sox. For those not in loop, I'm in the process of moving and training at a new job. Not nearly the amount of free time right now as I'm used too.
Get voting as soon as you can please. The earlier we can lock in a draft date, the sooner everyone can figure out what they need to do to make it. Most of us are old hands to ottoneu, but your season will likely be toast if you miss the draft and can't find a proxySavannah Public Swimming on February 17, 2025 11:10 AM

We didnt get everyone to vote. We had 6 days with 8 out of 9 people saying they could attend. Here is a 2nd poll with those 6 days. Lets try to be flexable as possible here please. If we cant get a day with everyone able to attend Ill just pick one and it is what it is.

We got a new owner for Curly's squad. A tan bro from San Antonio based on the name. Welcome to the league Satanbro69.

We do still need an owner for one team. A little surprising but hope it gets filled soon now that football is over.
Blue Sox on February 13, 2025 2:20 PM

OK, with football finally done here is a poll to get the Draft started. The season starts earlier than normal I feel this year March 18th in Tokyo. Please fill out ASAP for this reason, I have the first possible draft day in just over a week so I would like this completed in a week or less.

Should we put the word out for new owners?

Curly is gone. Hopefully someone picks up the team. He's welcome to come back if he chooses, but would not be allotted the free cut period as is standard for someone picking up an abandoned team

Congrats Diesel Donnie! After a season of Ottoneu, I've decided it's a bit too intense for me, so please consider my team abandoned. Hopefully still time to get a new owner in for the offseason activities. Best of luck everyone.
