Nope, sorry. You’re going to get a penalty when you cut Bellinger now.
-
Are cuts free before the season begins? I forget.
-
Great draft everyone! Reminder: Until the season starts, the winner of any ties on these two-day drafts is decided at random among the teams that entered the highest bid. It happens automatically and the commissioners have no say. Once the season starts, the tie goes to the team that’s lower in the standings.
-
Reminder: Our draft is Sunday morning! Be there!
-
I think my team will be sponsored by a luxury car company but I just have to figure out which one.
-
Now that MLB teams can put ads on their uniforms, shouldn't we all have sponsors, too? I'm going to talk to Wendy's about putting a Baconater on the 60GO jerseys.
-
Hi all, I've got 5 hours to either trade Harper or keep him. He's just way too good to cut, even at $12 over the market price. He's 29 years old and trailed only Vladdy and Soto in points among hitters last year. Those of you with lots of cap room, make me a reasonable offer and I'll listen! Otherwise you're going to end up using all that cap space to overpay for crap hitters in the draft.
-
Federation members: Based on my reading of the latest info in the link at the top of our league page, the Ottoneu keeper deadline is NOT going to be pushed back again. So we all have until Tuesday at 11:59 p.m. Eastern to make our cuts. If you want to wait until Tuesday to make sure, that's fine, but it seems pretty set. (Sounds like Niv is balancing the uncertainty of when the season will start with the desire to give teams enough time to prep if the season does start on time.)
-
Federation members: Ottoneu has pushed back the keeper deadline because of the lockout. It is now Feb. 15 instead of Jan. 31, and could shift again if the lockout drags on. Further details here: https://community.ottoneu.com/t/keeper-deadline-adjust-if-lockout-occurs/10611/6?u=nivshah

I’ll do Smith, Cron and Pablo Lopez before it’s too late.

I'll take Brantley instead of Posey. Franchise Tag Freeman, Goldschmidt, & Brantley

Franchise tags, take two: Matt Olson and Jesse Winker

Okay, I need to revisit this and so do a few of the rest of you. The rule says you can't tag someone you got at auction in March, or in a trade, waiver pickup or any other means afterwards. So I can't tag McCullers, and I don't think Friar can tag Posey or B Team tag Luis Robert. I may have misread how those two teams got their players, and I didn't check the rest of the nominations yet, but will circle back on this tomorrow.
-
I'm going to protect Will Smith, Lance McCullers and CJ Cron. God my team sucks so bad.

All I get is one tag, and I’m giving it to Corbin Burnes.

Reminder that those teams who earned franchise tags have five more days to designate their selections by posting the picks to the league message board.

What I hate most about the Bad News Bears analogy is that it makes me the Yankees. In our family that’s blasphemy. As my father-in-law once said, “I’d root for Al-Qaida over the Yankees.”
-
I knew that was coming. Congrats on the resounding win. "And another thing: just wait till next year!"
-
"2-4-6-8...."
-
Just want to point out that MLIAK's payroll is $286 while mine is $503. He's winning anyway. That's really impressive.
-
A classic: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xSQxtMWJzGQ

Was thinking about the ending of the "Bad News Bears," when the vaunted Yankees did that cheer after they beat the Bears and Tanner Boyle told them to take the trophy and (shove it). Great scene!
-
Does the winner or the loser chant 2-4-6-8? I actually can't remember from Little League. Pretty sure we always had to say it, maybe because we lost a lot.
-
This is also going up on the bulletin board. Why do i think this pennant race is going to end with 60 Games chanting `2-4-6-8, who do we appreciate? Happenstance!'?
-
4 hits and 4 walks in one-third of an inning for Taijuan. Maybe Vladdy Jr. really DOES miss Brendan Rodgers.
-
Brendan is a real competitor, a real sparkplug, and if I know him this kind of talk is just going to motivate him.
-
Are you referring to 86th-ranking middle infielder Brendan Rodgers? I doubt Vladdy Jr. is sentimental enough to prefer him to All-Star Taijuan Walker.
-
Thanks! It's a bit bittersweet, knowing that successful major-leaguer Brendan Rodgers won't be a part of the stretch run with us. "Here's still with us," Vlad Jr. reminded me the other day. "In spirit. He helped built this."
-
Congratulations to Happ-enstance! on a killer first half, though I think the combo of Acuna going down plus the big difference in IP creates an opening for TWPL and The Obliquers. Good luck!
-
I've had a fellow by the name of Xander Bogaerts since March 2013, so 8+years. He's still only 28. I used to have to change his diapers!
-
I "owned" Kenta Maeda for six years. Sorry to have to cut him. Does anyone have a longer-tenured player than that?
-
I don't get this trade. Brendan Rodgers is hitting .167 and is likely to be sent to the minors as soon as Trevor Story is back. Taijuan Walker, meanwhile, has been great for the Mets, 316 points already. What's up?
-
Anyone interested in trading for Adolis Garcia? 16 homers, 6.73 ppg, salary $1.

I have been unbelievably lucky with young starters the last few years. Now I just need Harper's wrist to be okay.
-
I had him on my radar early this off-season but worried he was homer prone. Obviously I was wrong.
-
Only a dropped third strike to mar John Means' otherwise perfect game! First complete game no-no for the O's since Palmer! I think he's worth the $2.
-
Our top five are separated by 150 points. Our top three are separated by 1.6 points!!!
-
I watched DeGrom in person tonight at Citi Field. Best game I’ve ever seen pitched in person. CG shutout, 15ks, 0 BBS, 2-for-3 at the plate with a double.
-
My pitchers gave up a combined seven (7) home runs this evening.
-
Super lucky Rodon got scratched from his Tuesday start with a stomach bug.

OneFlap added Rodon yesterday afternoon and got a no-hitter out of him last night. Great timing!
-
We should have winter meetings!
