Congratulations to Zion Rockers for wining Our 2024 Fantasy League Title !
-
Hi All - thanks for another great season. I know Dude and myself really appreciate your engagement. The baseball season is long and it’s not always easy to keep up with everything, so thanks for putting in the time. Remember that arbitration starts on 10/15, so please try to log back on around then to do yours. Additionally, I am posting the league on the open teams board to try to fill the open teams. If you know anyone that’d be interested in taking on a team, let us know.

What a finish in that last week for 4, 5, 6 & 7! Photo finish!!

3 Housekeeping Notes
1)I have taken the managers for Hartattax and Aussie All-Stars off the accounts - We need at least 2 managers for next season
2) If You are not planning on returning to the League next Year - We would Appreciate a Heads-up - We will not replace You until the season's end
3) ALL Please do not draft any players that were part of the 2024 MLB draft - Let's save those for our Draft in Late Feb or Early March

Catchers can be the most confusing, they give us 2 slots because catchers tend to get more frequent days off, but you can still only amass 135 games between the two C positions.

Reminder to the new owners of Rule IV.b.ii: "Season-long leagues with playoffs have a 135 game maximum for all positional player positions, except for a 675 game maxiumum for OF. Season-long leagues with playoffs also have a 1250 IP maximum for all pitchers. These maximums only matter during the regular season and do not affect the playoffs"

If someone has an interested potential manager Please send him our way
-
For those of You in the Yippe Ki Yay fantrax league - Hartattax is one of our most active managers - I don't think He will be back
-
Agreed - Looks like we are going to need 2-3 new managers for next season --Pitching a Maddox and I recruited 4 new managers before the start of this season - We are going to need the leagues help recruiting before next year
-
We should have a policy that owners who don't actively manage their team don't get invited back, Hartattax has been playing a guy at 3B on 60 day IL nearly the whole season, and his team is an embarrassment to the league (definitely guys that could be dropped from that team too, no excuses).

Love it down there in South OC, lived in Capo Beach for about a year way back when, before moving to Newport (and later Costa Mesa).

Hi, I am Tom. I am from Orland Park, IL, a SW burb of Chicago. I am a Mortgage Banker at Mutual of Omaha Mortgage. With rates so bad, I have lots of free time to pay attention to fantasy baseball! Lifelong Cubs fan that has spent way too much time in the Wrigley bleachers, but I did manage to go to game 7 in 2016! I have one daughter who is currently a 3 sport athlete (Basketball, Cross Country, and Track) at Aurora University. She is probably the smallest player in NCAA at 5'0", 100 lbs!
-
Yo yo, I'm Jimme, currently reside in Las Vegas and hail from California, been playing fantasy baseball for a few decades off and on (mostly on past decade), am in several dynasty leagues, most on CBS. Also do fantasy football and basketball, and sports betting of course. Otherwise I travel a lot, have a cool little family, and am close to acquiring my Irish passport. Workwise I'm a data engineer,, and Zion in my team name is a reference to reggae/rasta, as I'm a big music lover (who isn't?).

Of course! Glad you asked. Best for the league if people are always asking any questions they have. What subject(s) do you teach?
-
Thanks for clarifying! I assumed people were just bidding at the last second. I'm a teacher and I tell my kids to read the instructions and I didn't... Also have some EBay baseball card PTSD.

Auction Rule - "All in-season auctions are Vickrey auctions with blind bidding. The player is awarded to the team that makes the highest bid, and the player's salary is $1 more than the second highest bid. If there are no other bids, the player is awarded for $1 or the player's cap penalty if applicable. If two teams are tied for the highest bid, the player salary is that amount. If no one bids at all, the nominating team is awarded the player for $1 or the player's cap penalty if applicabl
-
Since it is a blind auction there is really no way to be "sniped"
-
Is there a notification setting via email for being sniped at the end of an auction? Many of us cannot be online at exactly the end time and be refreshing the page. Without an app sending notifications, how do people know that they were outbid in the last few minutes?

Hi All - my name is Luke. I am from Atlanta and a big Braves fan. I am 33 and just got married this past December. I don't have kids yet but I imagine they'll be coming sooner than later. I love baseball and have been playing fantasy for the last decade or so. I also love college football and a big fan of UGA. We want this league to be active and fun for all, so feel free to reach out if you have any issues. Looking forward to another great season!

Sorry, I am The Dude Abides!! not Twinkes - Wrong league
-
My name is Twinkies/Tim,
I am thrilled to have the chance to Compete/Play with You!
I live in North Carolina(Northern California transplant) Married for 29 years, Father of 2 Boys(18 and 20 - 1 Ballplayer( UNC Asheville)). I manage an economic development entity for the Coharie Tribe. I coach little league baseball and have participated in Fantasy Baseball for over 10 years(my 3rd yr in Fantrax and 2nd yr in Ottonue)
I am always open to trades and I look forward to a Great year
-
Pitching a Maddux and I ( Twinke's ) thought we should share a little about ourselves ( The Entire League ).-- Our goal is to build a long-lasting League and a sense of community is part of it!-- No Pressure and if You do not want to participate that's OK ( we are thrilled to have You as part of the League!! )
-
No Apologies Necessary - We all appreciate that You care enough to comment - After a few less Coors Light it was a touch lopsided
-
For what it’s worth Zimmer, I was also thinking about what/how to comment on this deal. I feel similar. All 8 players going to Dude are (were) either objectively positive value relative to salary or fair market but very productive (Munoz). I also don’t mean to be difficult or accusatory, just wanted to chime in with the same sentiment. Feels like a kinda bizarrely lopsided deal with a very large amount of players, while additionally being a new managers first deal in the league.

Trade winds are blowing, and deals starting to steamroll!

I apologize to both Nakatomi and The Dude. It is a free league, and as a general rule, you should be able to trade as you wish. If you value players different than the other owners do, that is your prerogative. I just felt that trade was rather lopsided in value and needed more than a token review by the rest of the owners. I have no idea how the voting went on it, and if I was the only one that objected. But, believe me, I don't like vetoing trades and I hope you guys are able to rework it
-
I will restructure Trade with Dude - I have Lowe, Davish ( childhood favorite ), and Wright( He will be back!!) in other leagues and try to keep the players I have to follow to a manageable group. Please feel free to send any Trade offers my way, trading is 1/2 the Fun in these leagues
-
Just CXL'd Trade - The league is more important than any Trade
-
Happy to CXL deal or take Williams out
-
Seems to me pretty well balanced if Gavin Williams wasn't thrown in, don't really see the return for including him when balancing everything else out, but wouldn't say it's egregious, sometimes people get the better of trades, maybe Williams doesn't turn into a future ace and Cy Young candidate. Kind of a head-scratcher to take on a fading 37 year-old Darvish for two front-line starters in their 20's though, if factoring out the hitters and relievers who roughly balance out.

I dont want to cause trouble, but can someone tell me what benefit Nakatomi is getting from that trade? Owners, Please review it before it passes. Dude is getting better players now, and in the future, and even getting salary cap relief. That is the kind of lopsided deal that kills leagues. I cant see a single benefit for Nakatomi. I understand prospects for current players... but one side is getting it all.

Zimmers chaw - It says You are not online at Auction
-
I can see players to nominate, but cant text in chat box, etc... My internet is obviously working to send this message. But getting error in draft room
-
In Draft room, I am getting an error that says Error communicating with server. Is that a problem for others?
-
All - I gave Nakatomi an extra cut since joining the league late after Cuts - The C after cut denotes I made the change
-
Welcome Nakatomi and Co -
