Not obsessed. Based on your track record in this league have to monitor your team.

4 teams have over 40 players. Why are you so obsessed with me?
-
Verlander has been over 40 players for 2 days now. Commish is this allowed?

Again, he has a right to bid on anybody. He cut his roster to a legal limit. I was the one who started the auctions and came in second place and I have no issues with it.
-
He has every right to fill out his roster, man. The cap penalty rule is the check/balance and he's paying the price. Games start in five days. I'm sure there's ample opportunity for him to make his roster right.

Guys this will be my only message I promise. Just would like an explanation why verlander bud on another players? Some are at $4? Did I miss something after he was warned?

Thanks for getting legal so quickly, Verlander.
-
You’re right about some of your points though Astros, I bid high and planned to pick and choose who to keep. Had the flexibility to even use cap hits if needed. Really was pretty sloppy in my execution, nominated way too many guys and that just backfired on me costing a nice chunk of my cap.
-
Trading from the excess isn’t even an option, Ottoneu doesn’t allow you to make trades, set lineups or do anything if your roster is in an invalid state. Whole point was to fill my roster for opening day.
-
Why didn’t I drop until I was “forced”? I always planned to make necessary cuts after the auctions. This morning was the first time I had been on since I went over. It was like 12 hours after the fact that I made cuts. I am the guy who literally forgot and missed the auction, 12 hour turnaround is not too shabby.
-
Honestly wasnt trying anything too clever. The winning bidder wins for $1 higher than whatever someone else was willing to pay, and then that’s cut in half so it’s not raising the price of anyone. For the guys who should be a $1, they’ll still be a $1.
-
CE the players go to waivers not rebid. Look under players/waivers big difference

Look, Astros, my patience is wearing thin. If there is continued complaining on the message board I will reach out to Niv to get your money back for the season and remove you from the league. I have had to do that once before, but it is a last resort. Other teams have been messaging me asking me to make you stop. I tried ignoring you, but the fact that you have posted 40 plus messages on the board in the past 24 hours plus countless direct messages is absurd. Please move on. Thank you - Steve

CE- the players he drops go to waivers and have minimum bids- so for example Lou Truvino is $5 minimum because he waived him. You cannot renominate these players. So verlander set the bar for all players he dropped. Totally unacceptable what he did. Like I said he bid on 60 players and half we after he had 40 player max. To not think he wasn’t trying to bid on as many Players and only waiver them after he was told to. He hurt 11 owners here and he should have additional penalty his actio

The cost would be 4 to him. If he cuts, I can restart the auction for 2. I was already prepared to pay 3, so him going over me isnt giving anyone an advantage... in my opinion.
-
Houston, can you elaborate on how Verlander adding players increases the price for the rest of us? My thoughts are that if he opened 30 auctions, and bid more than a dollar, he is risking his cap space and roster slots. If he cuts them, the cap hit is bigger. Yes, that player would be more expensive if someone else starts an auction on them later, but the only cases that would happen are if somebody else bid on the player also. If I am interested a player he put up, and i bid 3 and he bids 100..
-
Sorry, my last message was posted late, I didnt see new responses, including Verlanders.
-
Good point, guys. I am fine with the auctions going through, as long as he gets legal soon
-
Yikes
-
Verlander also had $2~6 bids on most of his players. If he knew he went overboard why didn’t he have $1 bids? His intentions were malicious. He also kept nominating players after he had 60 players. Why do that? Well so he could pick and chose who he wanted to keep. Pretty sleazy verlander.

Dont believe verlander. Why didnt you drop the players until the commish forced you? Your actions indicate your were going to hold onto them and make trades. 80 players is excessive and I understand u are a veteran in ottoneu. You now drove up prices of players you dropped. Pretty crappy way and no consideration of the results .

Yep, definitely went overboard on putting guys up for bid lol but was just trying to fill the roster out. No malicious intent
-
It's his cap space. If he wants to burn it this way, that's his prerogative, so long as his roster is kept in good standing.

We never heard from verlander on his sad stunt he tried to pull on the other owners. Now we have to pay minimums for players that should be $1

Hold on there. Click the auction button, you pay the price. Best thing anyone can do with a looming, potentially unwanted, auction is to set the bid to a buck and cross your fingers someone else takes the player. Otherwise, the player will have to be acquired and then kept or dropped at the appropriate price points. The rule on cap penalties is clear for dropped players. This needs to be factored into every auction one starts.

Cool, it sounds like we have some agreement. 50, are you able to see who started the auctions currently running? I imagine its Verlander going all in with this strategy. Can you stop the new ones?

Thank you, commish.

I sent an message to him asking to cut down to his limit by midnight. He hasn't been on today, so it is most likely that he has other things going on. I have been in leagues with him in the past and have never had issues, for what that is worth.

Yes bud reasonable

Does anyone have contact with the owner in question outside of the league? I know he said he's been very busy lately, and so perhaps isn't watching as actively as, say, I am.

Houston, does that seem reasonable?
-
Agree last 40 should be dropped whomever they are. He now knows how all of us evaluate players and the price we want pay for them.
The Harvest on

I think he should need to be legal within 24 hours (or something reasonable) or the last 40+ players should be dropped.
This is another ottoneu rule that is open to some league interpretation and I agree that it should not go unenforced.
And, as we did with Houston in the draft (by warning him to not miss another nomination), this conversation should be considered a warning to him to cut it out and get legal.
-
The commish should rescind all these bids. A person who.does this knows exactly what he is doing.
