That's a bold move claiming that name Mike. We'll have to see if it's cursed and drives you up the wall too
-
If it is too confusing you all can just let me have him for 5$ and I'll take all the hassle off your hands. Deal?
-
No, you have to choose between hitter or SP

Can you start him in both spots for a given day?
-
Hey guys, in case anyone doesn't know, I wanted to let you know how ohtani will work in ottoneu. The guy who runs the site says he will be one player who is OF/SP eligible and will grant stats for where he is set in your lineup (i.e. you can set him as a hitter or a pitcher and he'll get only those stats).
-
Hey, just wanted to let people know neither I nor my co-manager (my brother) can make the draft tomorrow. Since I've got so much money tied up, don't think that'll be a problem for me. Happy drafting!

Shrinkage is now Magic Loogy. Have no fear, the former psycho manager of Loogy hasn't returned. I'm the one that named that team, but took over Shrinkage when it became available shortly after. Just didn't want any confusion. Can't wait to draft tomorrow!

Draft is on Sunday at 6 PM Central. Remind people in the league that you're friends with.

He told me he may not be able to make the draft based on the time of day, but that if he can't, he'll be sure to have a proxy there to draft for him (based on his budget, probably not a lot for him to do anyways). 3. Approximately 2 hours for the draft is normally the high-end on the time range. It all depends on how quickly people spend their money or fill their roster spots. I wouldn't expect it to take much longer than that though.
-
Hey all, couple of points. 1. 11th works for me. 6 pm should be fine. 2. Joe (Kramerica Industries) recently got a job with the Cardinals and found out that he can no longer participate in the league because we play for money. However, my friend Eric will be taking his spot. He's already a regular Fangraphs user, so he should fit right in with us. I'll be getting him all set up today/this weekend. 1/2
-
Yea the rules wouldnt have the draft time, it just goes until everyone has either drafted to their max allotments (both roster & cap wise) or leaves. I sadly wasn't able to draft last year lol but I would guess it'll probably be at least 2 hours. Not much more longer than that I wouldn't think. There's a decent amount of slots for most people to fill, but that's not to say everyone has to use up all their roster spots or cap space, although you do have to be able to field a complete line
-
6 pm works for me though
-
The rules don't really state how long the draft/auction is. How long does it usually go as far as picks and all that?
-
That works for me. Thanks

Lol. and double rec for the Lost drop

Looking @ the pitching FA like ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=porIM7qtN38

Changing the veto rules is an overreach. Actually after looking at the rules, I think pre auction is defined as part of the 'offseason' section of rules, and the penalties of being over the cap, like serenity said, are clearly defined (in VII. e.). Unless the draft is on groundhog day I dont even think he is in defiance of the rules.
-
there are penalties for not getting in compliance pre draft btw, you can't draft and you cant cut until after the draft in which case everyone you cut you only get 50% cap relief (unless claimed) but yea this is just a technicality. it can be erased by getting rid of the veto process or shortening it, but that seems like an overcorrection for something that doesnt effect anything
-
Thats a good point worth bringing up though. We did have a guy go over cap with maybe a week left last year & Steve & Terry asked him to get in compliance. I would imagine you wouldnt want any team in a competitive league locked when the games start since this is a roto league but thats just my 2 cents
-
To further expound I think what Serenity did was clearly with the intent to follow the rules. If he isn't allowed to be in the red while a trade processes, then why isnt the trade deadline two days before the cut deadline?
-
There is a way to fix it which would be to get rid of the veto period but I dont think anyone is advocating that (though it can be shortened to one day as opposed to two). There are penalties built into the system, your roster freezes, can't draft if not in compliance by the draft, etc. but yea I cant cut guys or do anything to get in compliance in the meantime anyways. I do see the problem if this was during the year & I couldn't set my lineups and wasnt participating since its a roto
-
Would they need to get under cap for the last day of the season, even if they were not in contention? Or would they be allowed to carry over the salary the 1 day it would take for that to become legal
-
Not only do I agree that it is a technicality, I would go so far as saying that the rule be slightly doctored to allow for this. The penalty of being over the cap is that you cannot change your lineup (I also think you shouldnt be able to accrue stats, but I dont think this is the case atm). On a related note, what would be this league's ruling if X player went up for auction 3 days before the draft, and a team went over the cap to secure X?
-
League rules say your roster is locked from Feb 1 until the draft anyway. He can't cut even if he wants too.

Right, its a technicality. Its easier to not have discourse over what is and isnt a technicality though. Easier to say that if your team is listed in bold red you need to fix it.

Agree, don’t penalize this time
-
He's fine. Shouldn't penalize him due to the 2 day veto period.

I don’t really see why it matters. It’s not like we can do anything until the draft anyway.
-
I've been asked to address this. Adam is over the cap limit, but the trade he made will put him under it in two days. Rules say a team can't be in violation at any time, even for two days. My opinion, now that we've addressed this, is that any team with an illegal roster should have to get their roster in compliance right away. If we were to enforce that rule this time, for instance, Adam would have to cut $20 worth of players. I don't think we should enforce it this time.

Yeah sometimes we'll have burst at different points of like 4 trades randomly. One main guy who did that is gone though. He's busy flipping his shit somewhere I presume.
