I apologize, I took "I would prefer not to deviate from the standard rules of Ottoneu unless of course if Niv makes a change himself." to mean you didn't want it changed. Again, nothing personal....just wanted to see if I was alone in this thought or if other people thought the loophole was BS too. Reminds me of the discussion about trading players for nothing to clear a roster spot rather than dropping them.
-
I said I would like to see it changed and I mean that. Until then, I will do what is best for my team within the bounds of the rules.
-
Zach Attach, maybe even just the team is responsible for the original cap penalty until the end of the season regardless of the number of add/drop unless another team picks the player up?
-
Was I not supposed to mention you specifically when you chimed in that you think it's something that should be changed due to the sanctity of the rules... I mean, of course you don't want it changed or you wouldn't be able to alleviate your cap flow issues quite so easily. I meant that as a statement of fact and not as a judgement against you.
-
Damn, an individual call out. I honestly would prefer to have something that prevented these cuts from happening, but I won't stop using a tactic that everyone uses when there is nothing against it in the rules. If you listen to Champions League owners on the ottoneu podcast, which includes some FanGraphs writers, they talk about it as if it is simply a strategy of the system. If cap space is needed, why would I cut players I want as opposed to getting some for free?
-
I agree with you Vottomatics, I think this loophole is ridiculous and brings into question the integrity of the game. For Nive it is an easy fix, simply do not give teams salary cap penalties back when their former players go up for auction. You cut a $10 player he cost you $5 until the end of the year, unless he gets picked up on waivers. Problem solved and you don't have to get into spirit of the rule vs rule as written discussions.
-
Considering you probably utilize this loophole more than anyone else, that's hardly surprising. I wasn't really suggesting that we had the authority or ability to change the rules. I was merely voicing the opinion that I think the loophole is ridiculous to spark some conversation and see if I was alone in that opinion.
-
I would prefer not to deviate from the standard rules of Ottoneu unless of course if Niv makes a change himself.
-
It could be fixed by not allowing team to drop a player until a certain time has passed or only if they have dropped someone else first. Seems a pretty easy fix to minimize it happening, but doubtful it can be totally eliminated.
-
That has been discussed in length on the Slack message boards. Most people see it as common practice and agree there is no real way to fix it.
-
There really should be a minimum amount of time that one has to hold on to a player before dropping them. It's kind of ridiculous that you can minimize your cap penalty by auctioning them 30 days later and then immediately dropping them if no one else picks them up.
