Jesus, I feel I won this trade but just veto it if that's how everyone feels. I just ask that you look at the numbers and please show me how I made a severely unfair trade in Dave's favor if you don't mind. I honestly don't get it.
-
You keep calling me and "my boys" cheaters and that's out of line. I've known one guy in this league longer than anyone, but I've been in leagues with a number of you for close to a decade, met a lot of you, and consider most of you friends on some level. I'm not going to defend the actual trade anymore because this is a ridiculous reaction. If you want to see other Otto players and a FanGraphs writer telling me I was stupid for dealing Kershaw check out Slack because it's happening.
-
I don't get why this trade is perceived as completely ridiculous. I've had bum on the market for ohhhhh 2 months now? Kershaw is more expensive but actually has the greater surplus value. I need PIP not innings at this point and going forward. Trading the first best pitcher missing one start from this point for the guy with the second most Otto points isn't crazy. And frankly no one gave a shit when Dave made a trade of one ace for three a month ago, but THIS is CHEATING? Come on.
-
He's coming back next week. Didn't need surgery so he'll easily be back to his usual self especially next year and back to having surplus again. If he had required surgery it's a totally different story.
-
So it's your opinion that Kershaw is all of a sudden not the best pitcher in baseball because he got hurt? He didn't die or lose his arm.
-
And MadBum isn't a $50 keeper in my eyes anyway. Kershaw is close to an $85 value so he's a multiple year keeper. So I traded with an owner that understood the value and STILL sold him for less than his value because it helps me win this year as I look to makeup innings. So because I'm not stupid enough to trade Kershaw for pennies on the dollar something isn't kosher? Explain it to me because you can't point to actual stats to back that up.
-
MadBum comes nowhere close to Kershaw. Jesus Christ that's a terrible take. Kershaw is back next week so I traded the greatest pitcher in a generation for one extra start of a really good one. That's not an admission of anything other than the offers I got for Kershaw were not enough and I pulled the trigger on the one I think gives me the best chance to win. There was zero reason for me to trade him for an unreasonably low return.
-
Bum is at 5.44 pts per inning this year. Kershaw 7.2. IMO Bum rivals Kershaw in name and reputation only. I'm cheering for Pace and his million transactions to make a surprise run to win it all!
-
Seems reasonable for both sides to me. Dave needs a healthy ace. Ghost wants best pitcher next year and doesn't mind the high price tag. I offered less for $62 Kershaw when Dave inquired.
-
That is b.s. If Dave wins, it's illegitimate.
-
Feeder teams? Why don't any of you look at the talent he's traded me just this season, and then look at what you've all offered me the entire season.
It's not very close.
-
Well when you're offering the best pitcher in baseball around and you get offers like "here's my A-ball SS and a #5 starter" it's hard to make a deal.

Many teams seem to need a catcher. I'm open to trading one of $16 Salvador Perez, $2 Zunino, or $1 Wilson Ramos. I think they're great value bats and would want the same in return, ideally non-MI.

danny duffy thinks kyle hendricks' 50 point start was pretty pedestrian.

Yeah I went off the premise it was the $10 to FanGraphs then the $100 we take care of off the books.

I would like to remind everyone also that we are in fact the 6th most competitive league in the Otto fangpts universe so if that doesn't get you laid this weekend I don't know what will. #paturselvesontheback!

I can't wait for the pitching bonus stat to be predicated off of homers given up. You're all so fucked.

Of course Scrooge McDuck wants to jack up the buy in as he swims around in his vault of gold coin Otto winnings. Let's institute that but wait until Dave's bullshit team has run it's course

I'm cool with $100 but it makes no sense to just give fangraphs $300 bucks for nothing

$100 for second half champ. Then each year the commish randomly draws 1 offensive stat and 1 pitching stat and the winner of each stat for the whole year wins $100. I think it would be fun for the league leaders in ABs to win $100 for example.
-
That's $1200 of entry fees and $900 in payouts. Am I alone in thinking that is ridiculous?

1st - $500 / 2nd - $250 / 3rd - $150

First, we need the ability to like posts because I just cracked up at the last 6. Also, I like the second half bonus idea, but how often is that going to be someone that isn't the league winner? What if we paid our $10 fee to Ottoneu and we all bought in for the $100...that would give us $1200 to play with. We could do something like this....

Also in that article if we pay fangraphs to manage money do they honestly keep 25% pot? That would infuriate me.
