Chourio will be cut this off season. He is 3 years from the majors. Will Ottoneu even exist in 3 years?
-
I did not think he would hit when I watched video but he definitely had interesting buzz at allstar break.

Wow, Chourio will be a $9 A+ player in 2023, did not see that coming!
-
Castellanos is right on the line as a cut. I’ve never been a big fan, but he has posted some very good seasons. Is there any interest in him?
-
I’m planning to cut several players including some higher-$ guys like Castellanos, Chapman. I assume they are clear cuts but I don’t want to be a new-guy who makes immediate moves that disrupt anything. I’ll wait a day or so for offers. I’m guessing h everyone can anticipate which players are likely cuts.
-
Welcome, Cheers to making a run in 2023. You have a lot of interesting pieces (minus Chapman at $18 lol) so good luck the rest of the season and into the next!

I took over the vacant team, and I’ll do my best to make it competitive. It’s too late for me to make a 2022 run, so I’ll look to build a viable 2023 team. Please send trade offers if you see deals that work - I don’t get offended by offers, even if they are lopsided. I tend to look for prospects at least at AA, not so much at anyone more than a year from MLB. But I’m open to ideas.

Yeah that’s a long period of inactivity right in the middle of Summer. Are you able to email him? Maybe try an email this week and if no response send another one next week? I would think by early to mid August we should either hear something or it might be safe to abandon if someone has been absent for over a month and a half. Will be easier to fill the opening in August rather than November when there will be more abandoned teams.
-
A month absence from Larussa is concerning, and his team has good hitters I would like to have on my roster. Hopefully Sox fan is in good health and only gave up on his team here. Any opinions on the timeline for finding a new manager? I am concerned that a manager be in place to vote during postseason arbitration. Good luck on second half. Someone catch the leader!

Yeah that's always frustrating! Feels like I make a lot of incorrect lineup decisions like that
-
Me this morning: Starting Javier against the Yankees seems like a bad idea. They're an outstanding offense and I have innings limits to worry about.
Me after checking the box score this afternoon: G-d dammit.

The old MillerTime manager picked up the abandoned Chin's Music a week or so into the season and was more interested in a weekly lineup than daily. Thanks to the new manager. The roster has got a lot of room to grow.

what is the standard auction period?

I have three thoughts on this. 1.) I'm agnostic on whether it's a 24 or 48 hour waiting period. 2.) I believe it's better than there is a league vote than a commissioner's veto on trades. That creates too much pressure for the commissioner. And 3.) It should be rare to vote against a trade. And if you do vote against a trade, I'd ask that you write here on the message board the rationale for your decision. We should be able to debate it as intelligent people.
-
Yeah I don't understand vetoing simply because you don't like it. I guess I get it if someone gets a little grumpy because another team might have gotten a good deal on a player they would've wanted but I've always thought vetoes should be reserved for an egregious trade that is so unbalanced it is either collusion or just bad for the league overall, which seems pretty rare.
-
I vote to reduce the trade wait time to 24 hr.
-
In another league that I'm no longer part of I did have a trade revoked because other teams didn't like it. That was a fun group! /s
-
I'm pretty indifferent to trade wait timing. I bet rarely vote on trades and if I do it's usually yes. I can't think of a time I've ever voted no.
-
Thanks for everyone's input. I would like to get a few more managers included, even with a "I don't care." I am sort of indifferent; however, if the purpose of the trade wait period is for votes on trades but the majority of the league does not vote on trades, it is not a meaningful pause in activity. We have never vetoed a trade, and in the rare case of suspected collusion in the future, a trade can be held up.

As someone whos been here a very short while, Im usually pretty trusting especially with longer term leagues so shorter windows if any and vetos not being there unless theres some shady stuff. But usually give everyone the benefit of the doubt theyre just trying to run their squad.

My vote is for 48 hour trade period. However, I am not a fan of vetoes of trades. If there is a trade that is questionable I believe the only veto power should be given to the commissioner.

There remain too few votes to change the rule, to reduce the trade wait period from 48 to 24 hours. Anyone else have an opinion? Otherwise, the proposal fails and can be revisited during the offseason. Good luck to everyone and Happy Easter!

Ok thanks just making sure. I'm not thinking there would be many need for trades to be vetoed so I would be ok with a shorter time frame for sure.

It’s the amount of time an accepted trade is pending, so the league can review it and vote on it. If a trade seems very unbalanced it gives the league an opportunity to veto it. Here’s an excerpt from the rules: After a trade is confirmed, league managers have 24 or 48 hours to review the trade, per league settings. If a majority (50% + 1 vote) of league managers object to the trade, it will not be finalized. This clock begins automatically once both teams have accepted the trade on the site.
-
Sorry to ask but can someone explain exactly what the trade wait period is?

There was a request to change the trade wait period from 48 to 24 hours. The rule change will pass if a majority of managers vote for it.

I will start looking for a replacement manager for Chin's. Let me know if you know a guy. I was going to try and fill the lineup but dont have the inclination now and so Pavin Smith will be my sterling contribution. On the other hand, Players on Waivers may be used to continue filling Chin's empty slots.

I really think any time now would be ok. If others want to give one more week that could be ok too, that would allow almost a month of inactivity. If someone hasn’t signed in for almost three weeks and those three weeks span the league's draft and opening week it’s definitely questionable if they’re going to play. I noticed he has another team in another league that he also missed the draft in and hasn’t been active there for weeks either.
-
What do you think is a fair amount of time to wait for Chin Music before replacing the manager?

That is a bummer Ghost Runners, sorry to hear that. I’m sure that’s frustrating. Glad you’re ok and playing with us this year!
-
I am sorry I missed the auction. My area lost internet service Monday morning and just now got it back. I intend to actively manage my team from here on. Again, sorry to have missed, but looking forward to the season.
-
Yeah I think it would be best to try to get them actively managed as soon as possible as that would be better for overall league health. While they are not being managed and don't have full rosters, the league has better players available for less than it really should for a 12 team league. I understand they recently paid to renew/claim the teams and that things come up, but missing the auction and then no response all week doesn't signal that they intend to play this year.
-
I emailed both. I dont want to get far into the season with inactive rosters. Hopefully everyone is ok, and we'll see a list of players for auction in order to fill slots. Otherwise, I think management of the teams will be transferred to an able party. I'm happy to hear input on the matter.

Just curious if we've heard from either of the teams that missed the draft? Seems like Chin Music still hasn't signed in at all.
-
I'm looking forward to the draft, too. We'll keep it going until all the picks are exhausted, or if after an hour or two we want to resume tomorrow night, we can pause the draft room.
