Maybe you should read the rules before you start.

Damn. That really sucks. I know about 5 of us played our entire first half of the season thinking it was arbitration. Wish we could have a group dialogue not a dictatorship.
-
👍
-
Nope. This is how the league was set up and how it will stay. It was clearly stated (wired) in the original league settings. There are plenty of other leagues that like arbitration.

Are we sticking with the Vote Off Arbitration system or is there a real lean toward Allocation? As we get closer to the trade deadline, I think we need to have that wired. That being said, if people planned rosters/made moves with the rules as they are now, then we can stay as is. I don't care so much either way, I just want clarity.
-
A little off topic here but about half this league plus a few more just created a new start up otto football league if anyone wants to join with us. $100 buy in SuperFlex league. Let me know if interested! Now back to the final stretch in here, good luck to all!
-
I have a bunch of bench bats for cheap prices that I’m looking to move for some bullpen guys or back end rotation starters. Not looking for anything too special, and doesn’t need to specifically be a Closer.
I also have a decent amount of cash and am willing to take on some salaries or loan out some money as well.
-
Thanks Bartolo! definitely agree. Would much rather the allocation system. Seems like that is more like real life and it gives more meaning to cutting a star player and getting the benefit of that market driven price.
-
I definitely figured it was allocation since that’s what all my other leagues are. I honestly didn’t know there was an option. I think we should switch to allocation, if possible! Thanks for your work Steve
-
Thanks for this head's up, Bartolo! Admittedly, I missed that detail when joining. Curious to hear other's thoughts about preference. I do prefer allocating more money rather than cutting players as it feels a bit more strategic/closer to the majors with having to really manage budget rather than just losing someone. Does anyone else feel strongly one way or the other? On a side note - pretty exciting season so far here!
-
If the choice initially wasn't thought out and people want to discuss whether it's the best option, that's fine, too (If it was intentional or people have known about it, I am more than fine with it). I just realized that was the rule today and wanted to make sure everyone was working with the same info.
-
To the extent others different know, we operate with a Vote Off arbitration system (rather than allocation) in the offseason. I just realized that today. So well priced players (aside from one) are not susceptible to getting priced all the way up in the arb process (at least that is my understanding). Just a PSA as deadline trades pick up.
-
Yes give me a moment
-
I cut Wick by mistake- can he be added back
-
Paul Blackburn too if someone wants a cheap back end starter.
-
I have 56 pitching points and 16 hitting points. Sooooo who wants an SP or RP!
Burnes

Open to moving anyone for some power/bags.
-
Anyone interested in Nolan Gorman before he gets called up?
-
Really need some steals and if anyone is looking to dish off some save options or potential save guys. Send offers my way.
-
I was holding out hope that either Lynn or Contreras would make it past the 30 day mark for me, but, alas. Congrats to those that win them.
-
Haha, I mean He was really good for what 1 year
-
Boys think I got hacked or some type of glitch. I assure you I am not interested in Adam Frazier.
-
My cell is 501-733-3981 for the group me and glad you got the roster mistake fixed, I 100% agree with the commish statement
-
Agreed. I put them back on. Anytime any lets me know immediately after the mistake I will always fix it. It gets tricky when the player later gets put up for auction or claimed. But if you call it out right away ill always give everyone a chance to fix it.

Totally understand. I support putting them back on your roster. Accidents happen all the time.
-
I was looking at my roster and thought i had unclicked him before hitting the cut, but it didn't. I just want to be up front with every one as it was a honest mistake. I also understand this may occur during the season for every one else, but as long as you notify us right away, we will do the right thing for every one if it was an accidental cut, just want to be fair and honest with every one..
-
Fine with me. I was wondering why you traded for Conforto only to drop him.
-
I did mean to cut Mcneil, so if some one would like to bid on him or claim him, I dropped him from my team, that was not a mistake
-
Hey Guys, Sorry I accidently dropped conforto and britton and didnt mean to do so, I was on my phone an it was a complete accident. I asked the other commissioner to re add them to my roster before any one makes a claim or bid for them,
-
Finally got the GroupMe going. As a reminder, please shoot me your numbers, if you have not yet joined and want too. Hope everyone has a great weekend and bids low on Tatis.
-
Who said all the fun players were claimed in auction. This is a fun bunch of free agents and waivers.
-
great story!! classic for sure. Josh Beckett? You are an old timer too! :)
-
So true, BLC. A few years ago in my standard-non-dynasty league I had streamed back-to-back starters that I dropped just three days before they pitched no hitters for other managers. My wife asked me why I was sitting there so sad the day after Josh Beckett threw the 2nd one. After explaining why she sighed, shook her head, walked away and told me she was sorry for asking... lol!
-
amazing how emotionally twisted up we can get over a fake baseball game that is partially driven by chance and luck. I'm probably as bad as anybody over the years.....
-
I spent a lot of time agonizing over Tatis. Ultimately felt like this was the right decision. But somebody will get him for far cheaper than what I paid. And it'll probably be the right price after his injury. Just wish the injury announcement was a day earlier. But that's baseball. I'll survive.
-
Oh man, Bartolo. I mean it's hard to see Varsho already up for auction but I hope someone bakes you a cake or takes you out for dinner to distract you from Fernando getting claimed or going up on auction tomorrow, dude. Wow-sa.
-
Let the feeding frenzy begin.
-
Yes, that clears it up. Thanks

technically, you can start up to 2 catchers per day, however you only get 162 starts per season from that position, same as 1B, 2B, 3B, SS. OF you can start up to 5 per day, and get 810 starts per season from OF. On your daily line up it will show you how many starts per position and pitcher innings you have remaining throughout the season. Hope that makes sense?
-
Just for clarification, is this a 2-start catcher league? The lineup tab makes it appear so.

Hey y'all. I've never used GroupMe but I'd be game to start. My name is Matt and I'm up in Canada at 519-502-2141. Also, not sure if any of you follow hockey but I feel like the GM of the Leafs with that cut of Varsho... I went a little overboard in the draft to get him but hope someone can pick him up for $9 or $10 and get some nice offence. Baseball is such a welcome distraction! Yay Spring Training games!
-
Matty ................Let's do it ............. Steve 916-276-3577 thanks for handling.
-
Same here is if everyone sends me their name and number I will throw one together. My cell is 2019253579
-
I’m in for GroupMe.
-
that was certainly a couple of wild rounds of drafting!! I think after the draft, collectively we only had around $74 of cap space left across all 12 teams! could be a new record? Like all new start up leagues, we all have our fair share of overpriced players, but should be a fun season for all. I would definitely suggest we do a GroupMe channel? It is a great way to communicate info across the league, share stories and geek out a little on baseball.
-
It shows the draft is complete on my end. I was able to cut 2 players..
-
I think the draft needs to be ended btw. It's an endless loop of two teams not nominating anyone.
-
Maybe we should just re-do the whole auction in light of today's news. Would really be fair to all Tatis owners out there. 9 PM - 5 AM ET should be plenty of time to knock it out.
-
Yes tonight 9pm est
