Buster Posey!!! In other news, this is a hell of a race for 1st! It's giving me something fun to follow in this dud of a finish to the real MLB season.
-
Lmao at these nominations
-
I bow to the superior data analysts. I absolutely respect their work. And my apologies to you. Wasn't trying to offend. Sometimes I should just shut up.
-
FWIW, the trade calculator on Justin Vibber's surplus calculator has it favoring me by $2 if you don't think Yelich is a keeper and tilting to $10 in favor Mago if you still fully believe the Yelich projections. Feels very even to me!
-
I've never vetoed a trade and I'm not going to start now, but this seems pretty lopsided.
-
Per Rules, V(i): “If a team's manager changes, the new manager is given the opportunity to make one round of penalty-free cuts.”
This will occur sometime before the “second half” of the MLB season is underway.
-
Friendly reminder of Rule V.b. : “ The player will be awarded to the manager who bids the most for the player, with any ties going to the team lower in the standings. If two teams are tied or the regular season has not begun yet, a coin flip will determine who is awarded the player.”

with our draft date to be determined by vote/poll* (just like last year)

To follow up on previous update: Welcome to the league SU Nittany Tide! And Baby Bears will be returning! Keeper deadline February 15, with our draft to be determined by vote. We’ll cross the bridge when it comes, when MLB play feels closer to materializing in 2022.

A league update: LosDoyers will not be returning next season. We are also awaiting word from Baby Bears. We are working to have any vacancy filled by the keeper deadline and are confident this can be accomplished. On that note, Niv Shah has stated that the February 15 keeper deadline is firm and will not be further pushed back.

On the top of the page, on the menu, directly to the right of the “TRADE” button, there is a little icon with tools. Click that and it will lead you to a very helpful page.
-
Thanks. Are the important dates for our league listed somewhere? I'm sure they are, but I don't find them in rules.
-
Also: the normal keeper deadline is January 31 (not 12/31) Due to the current lockout, it has been extended by a couple weeks to February 15.

Update on keeper deadline:
https://community.ottoneu.com/t/keeper-deadline-adjust-if-lockout-occurs/10611/4?u=rajonbando
-
From Rules: VIII. OFFSEASON
a. Before the end of arbitration, players may not be cut. Between the end of arbitration and the keeper deadline, players may be cut or traded. After the keeper deadline and before the auction draft, teams may not cut or trade any players.
-
I'm confused. I thought 12/31/21 was the deadline for rosters and that players could not be cut after that date, but I see that is mot the case. Are there ANY restrictions on player movement after the Keeper Deadline?
-
Would anyone be interested in joining a new SABR league? It's the one scoring format I haven't tried and am intrigued...

Great season everyone. Thanks for letting me be a part of it.
-
Hey All- thanks for a great season. I've got three teams open other leagues if anyone's interested. One rebuild ($50/FGPTs) and two in decent shape (1-$50/5x5, 1-$50/FGPTs); if you're interested let me know and I'll shoot the roster over for you to take a look at! Here's to an active offseason! -Ghost Mago

Never mind. It seems too have cleared itself up.
-
I was setting my lineup and tried to bench Lynn, but it says he is locked; I don't know why. Game isn 't scheduled to start till 6:10 MT. Any ideas?
-
I have reached my Catcher limit. Can move IKF or Murphy. Would like a SP in return or a $1-$2 minor leaguer.
-
My brother was at the All-Star Game. I haven't got much feedback from him as of yet, but he texted me and said that Tatis was throwing baseballs to fans in the upper levels during warmups. Not in an evil Trevor Bauer way, obviously. Hahaha.
-
Anybody go to the All-Star Game?
-
On your team page, look for “Players lock 5 minutes before their team's scheduled game time. Two-way players require extra steps.” I believe you’ll find the full explanation you’re looking for by clicking the hyperlink embedded in “require extra steps.”
-
Weird question: Jared Walsh shows up as eligible as a relief pitcher. No problem. I won't use him there, but..... The problem is, because he has that designation, he doesn't show up on my "hitting bench" when I don't start him. I don't suppose there is any way to change that?
-
Thanks guys. Very helpful.
-
The mechanic is in place to allow leagues (the market in this case) have a way to, over time, reset overpriced or injured players to their actual market value. Most people do if just to free up a couple extra dollars or cap space here and there, but there are greater underlying economical mechanics at play because without it available resources (dollars) in the league would be wasted in unusable resources.

Aces has it on point. After 30 days you can reduce a player’s cap penalty by half via reauctioning them, winning them, and cutting them; this then restarts the 30 day clock allowing you to repeat the process until they get down to the minimum $1 or they reach a price that someone else (or you) may actually want to keep them at.

When you cut someone you get half back. After 30 days you can bid on them again if someone else wins you get other half back if you win you can cut again for another half back.
-
All right. I've seen this several times now, but I can't figure out the logic. A team wins an auction for a player and almost immediately cuts him. I'm thinkiing there's some sort of tactical advantage, but I can't figure it out. Anyone care to share?
-
I have Duran, Sanchez, waters and Greene all available for some high priced stars.
-
That wasn't even a cup of coffee....
-
Thank you for your help.

(2/2) You may not put a claim in or bid on a player if you have an illegal roster. The site will force you to make a cut before you can do so. The general rule of thumb is $1 available for every active roster slot (whether it's filled or not). Where it gets weird is SUSP/60IL players as they temporarily grant you an extra roster slot. My current roster is 41 of 43 because of that. However, when they come off the IL the extra slot is lost and a player needs to be cut to become legal again.

(1/2) Yes and no. No cuts need to be made to put a bid on a player via auction or waiver. If successful, you will need to cut a player to get your roster legal again, but remember that you only get half a cut player's salary back. So you really need to cut someone 2x (or more) the price of whoever is signed to have a legal roster again. Example: If you sign someone for $2, you would have to cut a $4 player to have a legal roster ($2 cap penalty + $2 free cap space = $4).

Hey guys. Just wanted to check in with some of those who are more familiar with the rules than I to be sure I don't make a mistake. As I spent my entire budget at the draft, the only way I could bid on a player at auction or pick up a waived player would be to immediately cut another player of equal or greater value if I should win the auction or get the waiver claim. Is that correct?
-
¡Buena Suerte!

Good luck to everyone this season
-
PS: Cap penalties (and any loans acquired/given in trades) automatically clear at season’s end for the next year. Not that I think he’ll last that long; but everyone will end up cutting people throughout the year that no one will pick up.

Yes, when the auction ends.

Sorry about the confusion but another question. No one claims him for 41 (unless people start clearing cap space it ain’t happening). I get 20 back. Let’s say someone starts and actuion for 21 and gets him do I get the last 21 back to my budget?
-
Cutting a player puts him on waivers for 24 hours in which any team can attempt to claim him for his full salary. After that 24 hours he becomes a free agent whose minimum bid is half his original salary. NOTE: if he clears waivers, the cutting team incurs a cap penalty of half his salary and cannot attempt to resign that player (even if someone else starts an auction) for 30 days. If and when another team acquires the player that penalty is cleared.

"You can claim a player that was cut in the last 24 hours. If you win your claim (no team with lower standings makes a claim) you will have to pay the player's full salary. "
-
I should say, Aces Full sent me a message saying he meant to "waive" Jimenez, as opposed to a "cut." As I understand it, a player is cut and available on waivers for next 30 days (with a 50% cap hit of player contract value to team that dropped). I put Eloy JImenez back on Aces Full for he thought he had "pushed the wrong button," as it were. Just want to be transparent here. All's good.
-
NOTE: Aces Full meant to waive Eloy Jimenez, not cut him. A beginner's mistake. I have added Eloy Jimenez back to Aces Full at $41.

Yeah that sucks about Eloy! I would join a discord for the league.
