HB Sharks, will you do both leagues? this $50 renewal one and a $75 new one?
-

As for the $$. I'm cool keeping with $50 as I have another $100 league I run. HB, if there isn't a renewal by 1/31 in that league, I'm going to send you an invite. I'm also good starting a 3rd league from scratch (separate from this) at $75
-
As long as people are joining and taking over teams (and paying), we ought to keep the existing rosters. But I'm sure there will be a lot of drops/adjustments/activity as we all reshape our teams into "our guys"
-
I have heard from one GM for keeping as is (and not doing a full reboot)
-
should we do a hard reboot? or keep the existing rosters?
-
i can change to the 10 SPs limit. No worries there.
-
might also be more enticing to get other people to join if they know they will be starting fresh. We are open to playing again this year with the rule changes to make it more fun/competitive. Also down to up the money to $100 if it makes teams more active throughout the year. Its no fun when half the league stops engaging after the first few months.

Since we have so much turnover does anyone want to start from scratch and do a complete redraft? I’d also like to propose innings cap for pitching to avoid teams hoarding as much pitchers as possible

My bad, I didn't see that it was 2SP slots per day. Not a fan of that style. Can you mark as abandoned. Sorry.
-
To those newly joining GMs, remember that you have to come under 40 players and $400M in order to draft. If you don't, you'll be locked out of the auction draft. If you are under 40/400 and cut players after 2/1 and onward, you'll take that 50% cap hit on the player salary. Trades can be made up to 1/31 at midnight easter
-
yes, will do. sorry to have you go
-
I requested to have my team abandoned months ago but the previous commissioner apparently never did it. I’ve been checking back and it seems nothing has happened but you can abandon my team
-
Also, we're at 2 paid. STL Browns and Crawfords, so get those payments in and let's roll!

Hi Everyone, As we were commish less, I took the lead and asked Ottoneu to add me as a commish. I'm happy to co-commish with anyone that wants to join. Otherwise, let's find ways to fill this league and make it better. 1. Get 12 paid GMs (I'll drop those that fell off in Aug/Sept of last year). 2. Change "vote off" to "arbitration allocation". 3. Change 4 playoff teams to 6.
-
These leagues are pretty easy to commish (especially b/c you don't have to worry about the $$ side -- since Ottoneu messed that up for you). and, I'm all for changing to arbitration (over vote-off).
-
How do we transfer the commisioner title/power?
-
I would like to continue playing in this league (for selfish reasons: to attempt a three-peat), but it seems like we don't have a commissioner anymore -- used to be @Blanx Bombers, but they aren't listed as the commissioner anymore. Does anyone want to step into that role? Seems like there are at least a good fraction of team owners who want to keep the league going. Hope everyone's offseason is going well!

So what's going to happen? I joined sent some trade offers and it's been crickets. Sure maybe my offers weren't good ones, but is this league coming back? It's just $50 so ("shrugs").... not a lot of $50 HtoH leagues out there. Anyway, I'm willing to give it a go

Oh damn sorry to see you guys go, it was a great couple years playing against you

Greetings. I don't plan to stay in our league but wish you all the best. Tempest, you are a true star. Beaver, we go back and will always have our love for zoos in common. Rotten Tomatoes, I respect your toughness. Cardinals, you have huge potential following a rocky rookie season. Oskee, I've long viewed you as my biggest threat. HB Sharks, thanks for keeping things classy. Crawfords, never stop overvaluing minor leaguers. And last but least, Tony, #$%@! your &@!$*% happy $@!$ night gow

Who knows, I dunno even know who runs this league anymore
-
Hey all, didn't we decide at the beginning of the season to switch from voting to allocations for arbitration?
-
it is what it is. there is no rule against making trades this one just feels fishy. Not signing in for months with a half complete lineup and then coming back and giving away your 3 best guys to a contender is pretty weak. Like if you are really playing for next year these are trades you should have been making all year trying to position yourself well going into the draft. Guess we will all have to deal with it. Im not coming back next year so let me know who wants all my talent

as a good move because it gives multiple players with upside and lowers the key man risk. Now, I do have a catcher but like I alluded to, I am not done yet. As well, I am looking to move Gerrit Cole and open to others. Your guys overreaction was a bit much but love the spirit. So I am open to other deals but hopefully this calms a bit and Beavor before you call me a douche take a breather buddy mayeb
-
As for the trade, let me detail my thinking here as well as throw out ideas for some more trades. Its no secret my team was poorly constructed from a number of players and a cap perspective, so I have to redesign some items. Verland and Sherzer are old and expensive, so they have no place when an entire rebuild is needed. Harper could be one to keep, however, he is injury prone and is only one player. I saw the idea of getting Realmuto, Bryant, Musgrove and Torkleson for Harper ...
-
Alrighty boys, here to call calmness to the pitch forks. Yes, I was not as active as I should have been this year. For that, I take responsibility. Its been a wild summer. Generally, I am active hence why I was the one who discovered Ottenue and recruited over half of these guys to the platform. So my bad, but I will be active going forward.
-
I think Tony is worse off if he does nothing before next year. He needs to start building out a 2024 roster if he wants to compete. Holding onto players that will be cut does not help his outlook. He should be dealing "dead weight" for '23 for as many '24 starters as he can get.

Haha, I'm all for ribbing Tony, but would anyone really keep Verlander for $28 next season? He's signed for an average of $12 across all leagues. And 40-year-old Scherzer for $34, with him putting up ~4 points per IP this year (versus 5-6 in prior seasons)? Harper I could see a case for keeping, though is he really worth $33 next year if he puts up sub 6 points per game again? Like I said, I'm happy to rework the trade if it gets vetoed or a better offer is made today.

Thats an alright idea, hey Oskee you want to give me Mason Miller and some prospects for Luis Robert, Bichette, and Nola?
-
If we are going to reward.that behavior then I’ll just trade all my good players to Tempest Air Demons and bounce too

i wouldnt have a problem with the trade if you had actually been trying all year to field a team. Now this throws the whole competition off balance with a team in the race giving up 3 hurt guys and some future talent for 3 great players. Just kind of bs for everyone else thats been actually engaged. the fact that you have only 18 players on your roster throws the balance out of wack already as the talent isnt as spread out as it should be.

Tony, what's your reason for trading Harper at $31 if you're playing for next year? He looks to me like one of your most keepable players -- seems like the only reason he went for $31 instead of $51 at auction this year was because we thought he'd miss half the season.
-
Thanks for the candid and thoughtful feedback, Beaver. I was thinking Tony needs to move these guys now to get some starting pieces for 2024 versus nothing if he holds onto them and then (out of cap necessity) needs to cut them loose in the offseason. That is assuming lineups are filled out, etc., going forward after a lost 2023...
Danville Dans on

I guess it doesnt matter since he doesnt set lineups anyway but he would have 2 SPs the rest of the way. And Realmuto is the one position he ironically does not need. I get you wanting to make a push in the playoffs and getting some rentals but this makes a shitty team shittier. I don't care much I already voted and if it goes through its not the end of the world. Just kinda reeks of douche move by the league heel
-
If anyone can beat my offer for Scherzer / Verlander / Harper in the next 24 hours, I'd allow the commish to nix the in-process trade. This reflects my confidence in the fairness of the proposed transaction. When you look at the $$$ attached to these three players and their ages, their value beyond '23 becomes a lot less interesting. Which young, cost-controlled core are you willing to give up? How much cap are you willing to take out of your paper bags?
Danville Dans on

Realmuto as well...

I view Scherzer / Verlander / Harper as short-term rentals that won't be on my roster in a couple of months with their $$$ salaries. What are the grievances with the trade? Musgrove / Estrada / Torkelson / Ward / Tovar are all pieces I would've liked to build around in 2024. But I want to "go for it" in 2023 and have to mortgage some of my future in the process.

you could replace me with a paper bag and it would still have a more complete lineup than you

Complete joke of a trade, I have someone interested in taking over his team next year if we want an actual player
