But I guess I'm wondering why now? I'm guessing you could get more if there are multiple teams competing for the championship (again this is how MLB works). Now that Loveable losers got 2.5 great players for nothing of value this season, when I want to sell off Cole, DeGrom & Judge... will anyone be within striking distance of Loveable Losers? If not, I guess you just started the sell off season and I'll take what I can get and check in again in December? Is that how this league works?

Honestly, try to get three prospects that will be relevant- actual needle movers- in a 12 team ottoneu league for a sherzer at that age and price.
Look at the teams that win. Rodon is on a $3 contract. Riley is like $16. Look at the values on winning teams. Sniper's team is all value.
The deck is stacked against us. It's going to take some big swings to really compete.

I think the point of Ottoneu was to be more like real MLB than other fantasy leagues. We could all debate the future value of players, nobody knows the future. Maybe deal 3 prospects for Scherzer makes sense (like in MLB), but to just give away better players kills the competitive balance for anyone else trying to win. FWIW, I'll take scherzer at $36 all day next year.
-
My teams not good enough to win this year, so I'm not keeping a 37 year old pitcher that got too fatigued to be effective in the playoffs last year. Story has always had a high reach/Chase rate. That rarely ages well and he's no longer in Colorado. Betts is great but he does have hip issues and he would cost me $57 dollars next year. I'm reloading for next year- I think baz and Vaughn could be great and they are cheap. Shop's open! Better to get a deal now and have marte etc for most of the year

yea if Betts was still Boston Betts and Story was showing stud indicators under the hood, maybe Unproven Rookie could have extracted more.. but considering this is Ottoneu (and we're not playing for money, ha) I think it's OK

this one's pretty straightforward. Scherzer is 37, and most certainly not a keeper at $38 (i definitely won't be keeping). There's a pretty good chance that Baz is better than him next year anyway - and will only be $12 - so it's the old "future value" that is the draw in Otto. Story is probably a drop soon, hardly a stud at this point (though i'm happy to wait a while to find out). Betts will be hard to keep at his salary, though i'm gonna try.
-
Could not agree more but unfortunately no one ever vetos horrible trades like this.
-
I'm new to ottoneu and this league, somebody explain this trade to me... Swapping the best pitcher in baseball at a keeper price, a MVP and stud shortstop for three injured prospects to the first place team after 4 weeks of play? I understand trading prospects for free agents at the end of the year, but even then this would be a terrible trade.
-
Kingmaker offer- interested in packaging
Max Scherzer $34
Whit Merrifield $21
Mookie Betts $51
Others
For a few highly ranked prospects and rookies. Will pay the difference.

-

DRAFT NIGHT Tonight at 9:00 EST....everyone ready?
-
Sure…everybody get your lists ready!!!
-
can we do the 16th instead of the 17th?
-
With no objections to the dates...so far. One preference vote for early , one for late...I'll break the tie. I prefer early...I will make the change to Thursday Mar 17th @ 9:00 EST. Hopefully the free agent/trade frenzy will have settled a few things.
-
Prefer 16th or 17th if we can get this locked down. Thanks.
-
I am good for all 4. Thanks!
-
i prefer as late as possible but all are good with me as well

Fine for me.

I'm good.

I am locking in the 31st...until I hear differently.

Right now 27th and 29th nights are booked for me. Open to anything until my other leagues set a date.
-
We should start discussing auction nights soon. Sunday, Monday, and Thursday nights are best for me...likely 9PM EST or later. I might start throwing out some dates/times to see if something sticks...hoping to avoid a poll.
-
Any probable draft date yet? I understand it's weird times. Just wonderingfor planning/scheduling purposes.

All right - no invalid rosters. Pots, Lust, Joes, and Crunch should have some good bid wars at the draft.
-
I will be out of contact with internet from about 6pm to 7pm est. If you send me an offer please be patient and I will get back with you as quickly as I can. Thanks.
-
I don't do final cuts until an hour or so before deadline - still time to make offers.
-
Welcome!!
-
Welcome to the new owner of Crunch.
-
Welcome to the new owner of Wanderlust.
-
$51 is pricey but he is at his Ottoneu avg salary and otherworldly ratios.
-
I am very on-the-fence about keeping deGrom…I am back and forth each day. I easily have the space, but it would make for a boring auction day for me. I could be easily pushed over the fence with a reasonable (60 cents on the dollar) offer. Anybody with the need, payroll space and desire, please send me a note. Not looking for star return, but a usable piece at a lowish cost.
-
Open for business for those last-minute trade offers. Thanks.
-
That makes sense. This morning I was checking out the 5x5's that only had 1-2 teams listed, lol.
