• Please abandon my team. Thank you.

  Full Tilt on December 22, 2024 3:14 PM

• Nice to be back. I can almost smell that fresh cut grass. 😆😆😆😆😆

  COSMO KRAMER on December 11, 2024 4:25 AM

• Nice. Welcome back

  Ellis Islanders III on December 11, 2024 12:21 AM

• I have changed my mind. I want to stay in the league. I have just renewed my team for 2025.
  Happy to be Back.

  COSMO KRAMER on December 9, 2024 4:10 PM

• Last day for Arbitration!

  The Starting 5 on November 14, 2024 12:44 PM

• Don’t forget about arbitration.

  K Comma A on October 19, 2024 3:23 PM

• Please Abandon my team

  COSMO KRAMER on October 11, 2024 12:57 PM

• Congrats, Lumber Jacks! 3 Peat in the books. This was by far the most dominating. Time for the rest of us to step it up

  Ellis Islanders III on October 3, 2024 7:27 PM

• Is trading allowed now?

  COSMO KRAMER on October 2, 2024 11:37 AM

• good season boys, excited to run it back next year

  LuBob's Burgers on October 1, 2024 12:03 PM

• 12 guys is a lot to have on the IL but the other day I had 12 guys that went 0 for.
  
  This year is not starting out like I hoped it would

  COSMO KRAMER on May 2, 2024 12:11 PM

• Gotta be a record... 12 guys on the IL

  Ryno's Return on May 2, 2024 10:24 AM

• It's at bats and innings pitched that count

  COSMO KRAMER on April 10, 2024 6:57 PM

• If someone doesn't start but pinch hits or runs during a game, does that count towards our games cap?

  Round Trippers on April 10, 2024 6:12 PM

• Who’s putting in a waiver claim on Albert?

  Full Tilt on March 23, 2024 6:06 PM

• Ha. I thought I had missed something

  Ellis Islanders III on March 23, 2024 5:59 PM

• uhhh don't do drugs kids

  Billy Beane Had a Dream on March 23, 2024 5:46 PM

• Glad we're all good. And, final thought...fun to have a flurry of activity on both the trade block *and* the league messageboard. Feels like baseball season, man.

  Bo Money Bo Problems on March 9, 2024 8:27 PM

• I'm satisfied.
  Just wanted someone to take a look.
  I saw three trades and didn't know how many more were coming.
  Glad it's settled

  COSMO KRAMER on March 9, 2024 8:26 PM

• Is it possible to tank when the standings don't determine anything pertaining to future value/next year's draft?
  
  It's just a rebuild that seemed suspicious because you didn't expect that team to have its sights set on 2025 instead of 2024. As someone who's tried to sell and struggled to find takers if there's not enough parity atop the standings, I think his moves were savvy.
  
  Like, if Crews is up by Memorial Day and producing 75% of what Witt is producing, I wouldn't ev

  Bo Money Bo Problems on March 9, 2024 8:23 PM

• I never thought it was collision.
  It just seemed a little soon to tank this soon after the draft.

  COSMO KRAMER on March 9, 2024 8:19 PM

• However, Lumber Jacks also retains Betts for the entire 2024 season, and with the loan, doesn't need to spend additional salary cap to do so.
  
  You can definitely make a case it was a good trade for both sides. Again, not claiming any sort of foul play took place.
  
  But in this case Lumber Jacks essentially borrowed Full Tilt's cap space during the off-season, and I think that's not the point of the rule. The point is to borrow cap space during the season.

  The Starting 5 on March 9, 2024 8:16 PM

• Owners are allowed to value their teams as they see fit - that's the point. I also don't think there was any collusion.
  
  That said, I think that Lumber Jacks and Full Tilt trading Betts back and forth in the same offseason, with no games being played, isn't really in the spirit of Ottoneu rules. On net, it was a trade of Kirby + Bibee for Rutschman + Greene + Dominguez.

  The Starting 5 on March 9, 2024 8:16 PM

• I don’t see a problem with the trades at all. He posted to the Trading Block the guys were available and in each deal he got a young, cheap guy with big upside. I actually like what he did

  Ellis Islanders III on March 9, 2024 7:51 PM

• Chiming in, was offered a similar deal for Witt but passed on it so do not think there is collusion here. Voiding non-collusion deals can create a slippery slope especially considering this type of format. Plus roster building strategies vary from team to team so agree with Lumber Jacks, to each their own.

  LuBob's Burgers on March 9, 2024 7:41 PM

• If he decided he needed to rebuild, waiting to trade these players would be a mistake because half of the league could be out of contention by July, and would thus not be willing to trade future value for current production.
  
  And the likelihood that one team would have a package worthy of trading all three of the marquee players he’s dealt would be highly unlikely.
  
  This is absolutely a preferred strategy than limping to 7th place and holding the bag on guys.
  
  

  Bo Money Bo Problems on March 9, 2024 7:37 PM

• I say that understanding that I serve to benefit from no veto in the Betts deal. But if you guys think it deserves a veto then so be it.

  Lumber Jacks III on March 9, 2024 7:34 PM

• From my perspective - a veto should be reserved for instances where you believe collusion has taken place. Full Tilt has made some aggressive moves today. I may not agree with his strategy, but unless he's making back door deals with three separate owners, which seems highly unlikely (and I can vouch that he's not with at least one of the three), I don't think these trades are worth a veto or further investigation in my mind. But, to each their own.

  Lumber Jacks III on March 9, 2024 7:32 PM

• It's not up to me to decide.
  Each team has the right to veto or approve trades. I'm just asking the commissioner to look into it.

  COSMO KRAMER on March 9, 2024 7:16 PM

• How’s it shady? I’m selling off high salary guys for top prospects?

  Full Tilt on March 9, 2024 7:10 PM

• There's some real shady stuff going on with trades.
  I suggest the commissioner look into voiding some trades

  COSMO KRAMER on March 9, 2024 7:07 PM

• Thank you

  Round Trippers on March 9, 2024 1:05 PM

• True

  K Comma A on March 9, 2024 1:02 PM

• QQ: if Littel (w. SP/RP elig.) is in my RP spot but starts the game, I won't get points for that?

  Round Trippers on March 9, 2024 1:01 PM

• That’s disappointing.

  K Comma A on March 8, 2024 5:16 PM

• NOELVI MARTE
  CIN SS/3B R AVAILABLE REAL CHEAP.

  Ellis Islanders III on March 8, 2024 1:11 PM

• I've got another draft that day as well. Would be interested if the draft was at another day/time.

  Lumber Jacks III on March 8, 2024 11:26 AM

• Damn. I have another auction draft at that same time, otherwise I’d do it.

  Full Tilt on March 8, 2024 11:03 AM

  Angels in the Troutfield on February 9, 2024 3:47 PM
