That's why I was the first fantasy baseball analyst/therapist, a shame I almost got arrested for the business cards.

Good work not starting Nestor today, Dr. Funke

Does anyone else see Zack Gelof’s name and think “oh yeah, he was pretty good in The Wall?”
-
The grind starts tomorrow, set those lineups.

Thanks for the reminder, gotta bench Ohtani since it’s a lefty.

Cubs v Dodgers play overnight or early in the morning depending where you’re located. Set your lineups if you have any players involved

If it's a rebuilding year W2, I'll take Betts off your hands and a loan for Condon and Horton :)

Warren is an unproven pitcher with potential that will start the year in his team's rotation. Sasaki is an unproven pitcher with potential that will start the year in his team's rotation. Cole will be $17 in dead money after being cut. Sasaki and Warren have a $26 difference in salary. W2 is $43 ahead of where he'd be cap-wise to basically have an unproven pitcher with potential on his roster either way.
-
Yeah I would say I actually like this trade for W2? Sasaki undoubtedly has SP1 ceiling, but its also $28. No one else paid that at auction, and to be a keeper next season he basically needs to hit his 90th percentile outcome IMO. Makes sense for KAW to take a shot on him too with all that extra cash.
-
If Warren breaks out, he could have a season like Sasaki's. Roki is amazing but how many guys pitched over 100 innings a year at his age? He's done it a couple times already. He's a really good pitching prospect but the Dodgers have every reason not to overwork him. I got Sasaki at $19 in another league. Plus I have Cole in, ahem, a number of other leagues and psychologically I can't bear the waiting to cut and renominate him. It's a rebuilding year for me anyway.

I didn't understand, but I guess if we consider Cole an immediate cut, it works out to Warren + $17 loan for Sasaki. Still feels lopsided to me, but given the small sample size in spring training so far, maybe this works out fairly...

Great to hear! Trading is my favorite part of a fantasy league. I wanted a team I needed to rebuild from practically scratch, which means this won't be my last trade!
-
Giving up Sasaki for Warren to save $17 if he just cut Cole is a helluva risk. That being said W2 has a lot of prospects and if he uses the cap savings to do something, might work out.
I also like giving W2/Alex shit for his moves, we’ve been in the same fantasy leagues since 2006.

Walden Two on

Pinochle Jacks has it correct. I traded him Warren, the $26 difference in cap space between him and Sasaki, and taking on the worst salary in the league for Sasaki. Considering he had $0 in cap space, that seems like a steal for him. No one else would have taken Cole with no loan involved no matter how good the rest of the deal was.
However, I like to make lots of outside the box trades such as this. Is that going to be an issue?
-
basically an NHL trade to get Cole off the books?
-
I’m going to need a written defense of that trade. :)

See you in an hour and a half...I'll probably get there right at draft time so don't panic if you don't see me in there. I always walk my pups in the morning and they don't always cooperate on my schedule :)

3. If you are in on a nominated player and your computer freaks or the internet connection or the ottoneu servers, let us know immediately and I can pause the draft and put the player back on auction. Again, that slows us down quite a bit but everyone deserves a fair shot.
4. Test your system tonight or get in early tomorrow to make sure you have a good connection and any browser issues and are familiar w/ the layout and nomination process.

Good Morning fellow baseball fans!!! It's draft day!!!! Reminder of the rules of draft etiquette
1. If you can't make it or you're running late, please try and arrange a proxy. Someone at the Ottoneu community league is usually willing to jump in if don't know anyone.
2. You MUST nominate someone when your turn comes up. At the beginning of the draft, it's just annoying & slows it down if you miss a turn, at the end of the draft it's a competitive advantage and I'll be

I am free March 15 now if it helps, I mistakenly selected all those slots as unavailable.

I’ll fill out the form - but I’m good for March 9 whenever

8 responses in and the only available window is the current slot at Sunday, March 9th (from noon EST to 3 pm EST) which means our current 11am EST time might be a little early for someone. Let's see what the last 4 say. Regardless, 11am EST is about as early as I'd care to do it on the West coast...but I'm malleable.

I have a 3 pm Eastern time draft on the 9th. A noon Eastern time start would work. Thanks

6 responses and we're already down to either March 9th somewhere in the noon-3pm EST window or anytime March 16th...6 owners left to go.

Sorry this took so long, draft availability form is here
https://forms.gle/aAoF9d4kP2hd9JhR9
IF you're available all day on any of those dates, click the far right box. If YOU'RE NOT available any of those time windows on those days, check the appropriate boxes or all 4 if that day is a complete no-go. Currently we're schedule for March 9th at 1pm EST/10am PST

Lastly, I'm in a Yahoo fantasy league that is likely losing 2 owners, will know for sure by Monday. Same scoring system as here, everything else is a wee bit different (roster sizes, snake draft, keeper rules, waivers, etc....Walden 2 and Mighty Mighty are already in it). Free to play although we do a $30 prize pool buy-in if you're up for it. Let me know if anyone is interested and I'll send you the rosters.

FYI, FanGraphs has restricted exporting projection spreadsheets to members this year. But today only, it's available to everyone. In case anybody else isn't a member and wants to download projections for auction prep.

The 9th actually works pretty well for me, either as scheduled or a little earlier.
-
It’s not, I still owe all a form to work out a time.
Fwiw, everyone paid in already (thank you!), full boat for prizes this year!
