Manfred should be fired for even considering this.

Right now the average price of Acuna is inflated by the fact we are before the cut deadline. I think Acuna should dip into the high/mid forties is fairly price but by no means cheap. I like the trade and did offer Acuna trades to other teams as do believe premium players should be shopped for league parity.

The second torn acl i think should bring down his value, but I agree 42 is a low price for Acuna. I made the trade because Schulz is the best pitching prospect in my book. I should be able to find an acuna replacement in the auction with my cap space but would not be able to replace a top propsect in the draft. If this was during the season, I would not have made the trade. Also, Acuna not beinf ready at start of the season and Schukz easy path to white sox starter also a factor

I'm curious on the rationale for the Acuna+ trade for Noah Schultz. Chicago Mayors I think had $96 in open cap space before the trade and has now traded the lowest priced Acuna ($42) by far in any league I play in to the league champion.

No problem Grizz, I could use the extra $3 ;).

Apologies to all for missing arb. I shut out baseball thoughts after watching the Yankees World Series abomination and thought I had until next week. Open for trade offers and hopefully Steinbrenner pays Soto.

Thanks! This was a nail-biter all the way to the end. Didn't feel comfortable until after Saturday's games. This one was particularly important as I finished 2nd in my 3 other leagues this year. I am definitely coming back next year.

Congrats Winnetka Bears! As well as Vizzini and Sam I AM for a great top 3 seasons! Hopefully everyone had a great time and will be back next year. If not just let me know and can find a replacement if need. Next step is arbitration. Thanks everyone for a fun season!

Tough break on Christian Scott. Pitching prospects have been scarce lately and Scott was legitimately a good one.

These things are hard to predict, but I would be thoroughly shocked if the White Sox are contenders within 5 years. I would expect another regime change, another rebuild, and 8+ years. I don't see moving as a possibility.

Even if you have a steve cohen type owner, there are only so many premium or team building free agents available each you. You would have to think it will take at least 5 years for the white sox to be a playoff co.tender. they need to develop multiple future starters a year and get lucky in free agency. They don't have an unlimited budgey either. I hate to say this, but them moving to amother city could jumpstart a rebuild.

I need 70+ points a day to beat my last place finish from last year. I should jusy change my name to the white sox. But wouldn't it be fair to say that White Sox need 23-26 new starting players to ? And as you said, their farm system is average to belpw average.
Chicago Mayors on

That would have been just the White Sox luck (trading for River Ryan). Since I believe that most of you guys know more than the so-called experts in the sports media, how long do you think a massive rebuild like the White Sox would normally take? Their major league roster is one of the worst we have ever seen and their farm system is merely average.
-
If anyone is interested in football, check out the Claims page - the league is called The Good Place (league 148). We're looking for some owners.

I read the dodgers offered Ryan for Crochet which would have worked out very well it seems

I can't believe River Ryan went down. Is it bad luck? Training staff? Pitching coach? Seems to me that the Dodgers have had more problems with injuries to young star pitchers than any other team.
-
Yes Vaughn is a good comparison. Definitely overrated since they were only hit/no field but they didn't even do the hit part
-
I've watched a number of Tiger games, and I'm on the phone with a Tigers fan all day. I was mystified that he was ever ranked in the top five for the draft let alone being the top overall pick. It was a stupid idea starting Torkelson out at 3B, he is an awful fielder who has trouble at 1B. Similar circumstances and results for the White Sox and Andrew Vaughn. That being said, neither of these players should be this bad.
-
I do not watch many Tigers games but I do not understand how they messed up Spencer Torkelson so badly. He destroyed baseballs.
-
Hope everyone enjoyed opening day! It was going great for me until Royce Lewis got hurt again! Hopefully not for long.

Happy Opening Day everyone! Best day of the year! Make sure you get in on Pick Six! Pretty fun. https://ottoneu.fangraphs.com/sixpicks/#

I made the poll at https://xoyondo.com/dp/zr3huukkby5qrm1 not sure there’s too much difference from doodle as you can see only 6 owners filled out. Hopefully enough get back to me on if the march 14th day/time works or if a slow draft may be best option

3/14 works for me. 3/11 is out for me. Owners should indicate availability in Doodle to avoid the endless back and forth as to when we're all available. Not opposed to slow draft.

From the limited poll response 3/14 at 9est/8CST seems like a possibly. If not able to find something a slow draft through couchmanagers could be an option. Done it a few times with other leagues and have worked great. Let me know if that date works or want to try a slow draft I could host, thanks

I can make whatever you all need work.

I'm proponent of earlier for roster certainty but am just 1 owner!
-
I agree having it as close to opening day helps with having the most information about the players. Just going off the poll and 5 people have filled out. Hopefully can get more info over the next week or so. Thanks

February is pretty early, isn't it? I'm a proponent of drafting as late as possible, but I do understand that most of us probably have multiple teams and would want to be present for all drafts.

Thanks everyone for renewing. If have a chance to fill out the draft poll, early responses have February 24th at 8CST/9est as the best bet so far. Let me know if have any questions, thanks again!

Welcome welcome! We’re now full and just a few teams need to renew before the deadline. Still plenty of time for any deals before then. I’ll make a poll for draft times

Reminder that the cut deadline and renewal date is January 31st. If not coming back next year just let me know. Put out some feelers for Graham’s team so hopefully get a new owner soon. Thanks everyone

So it looks like the owner that claimed graham neubies prefer's the big papi squad, so i abandon his squad and will re-add the players cut and he'll claim papi's squad. sorry for the confusion. hopefully will get a full league soon
