I dropped patrick sandoval by mistake, I thought I had checked patrick wisdom. I reached out to the commish and hope it can be fixed. Just wanted to mention it and my apologies for being a pain. I've played ottoneu for years and its my first time making this rookie mistake!

cap trade for $$
-
I assume just a trade for cap space. Trading away players for nothing in return in the off-season would be a no-no, but in-season when cap space is in play, I don’t see anything wrong with that.
-
What kind of a trade is that

Just a reminder that the $100 Old School Hardball auction draft is tomorrow (Thurs) night at 9p EDT. Please have your que loaded up so we don't need to pause for nominations. See everyone in the draft room!
-
Early returns are pointing toward Thursday, March 24 as a viable date, so I have penciled that in for now, tentatively looking at a 9p EDT start time. Please sing out if you have a conflict. Otherwise we will consider that locked in.
-
so this is our new draft date, april 4th 9pm?

Okay, guys, it appears that we are finally gonna have baseball, so it's time to lock in a draft date for real. Unfortunately, the 3/28 date is not very good for me, so if you could weigh in on any other options, it would be appreciated. Here is a poll to register your preferences:

28th works for me. Lets do it!
-
Could maybe get on around 6ish
-
28th I'm probably not available until 7ish Pacific otherwise should be ok rest of that week.
-
I could do the 28th or any other evening that week
-
I’m good with the 28th or after, can’t do the weekend of the 25th

I could do the 28th or any day around that. If it does end up being a weekday, It would help if it wasn't super late.

I can do 28th

March 15-19, I will have little to no internet connection.

How about the week of March 28th??? It's close to the scheduled start of the season which now looks like it won't start on time.

What's up fellas, trying to get into another league this season and came across this team. Didn't see anything on the message board, but was hoping I could fill the spot.
-
Just a friendly reminder that Ottoneu baseball teams must be renewed by this coming Monday, January 31. Ottoneu moved back the roster freeze deadline to Feb. 15, but deadline for team renewal remains 1/31. We still have several teams set to expire, so don't forget to do so if you intend to compete in the upcoming season, whenever that may commence. Speaking of the ongoing labor war, we will look to pin down a draft date if/whenever MLB & MLBPA determine a way to divvy up their billions.
-
Ottoneu has moved the keeper deadline from 11:59p ET on 1/31 to 11:59p ET on 2/15. This should be reflected on every league’s Tools page, where you can see the league calendar.

I'm treading water in my other 5x5 so thought I'd jump in on this one.

9 days left in arb...do we have a new owner in the works for Killer Bee's?

Anyone interested in this team? https://ottoneu.fangraphs.com/326/team?team=2349

Not sure who is the commish. but i will not be renewing my team

Congratulations to Wong, well done!
-
Thanks, GC. The rest of you really made me earn it this season. It was a pleasure competing with you.
-
Good season all and big congrats to Wong on a dominant performance. This was my first year in the league but if I'm reading the historical standings correctly, it looks like this is a three-peat? Super impressive. Will try to make you work a little harder for it next year!

There's one person hurling insults/expletives/taunts/trolls at other guys in the league and hot to make spite trades to so yeah, its everyone else's fault

More trades to come too. Prick has about ten more injured players to unload in absurd trades.

In short, you’ll never stop a little bitch being a little bitch! Imagine the two biggest drama queens posting again to argue and debate any topic. You guys really need to get laid or something. Get a life seriously! I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone argue, debate, disagree, or complicate issues more than you guys. Drama, drama, drama!

I'd love to incorporate a 5 (or 10) MILB structure into the league if others are interested. Also open-minded to the idea of a reasonable arbitration coupon system. But, have to agree with GC that addressing toxic name calling and other personal conduct issues is an entirely separate topic and will not be resolved by implementing these types of incentive structures.
-
All that said, these rule changes are not a panacea. You’re ascribing far too much power to incentives and not enough to people. Incentive structures don't “eliminate toxic name calling” and they also don’t prompt one owner to call another a "little bitch" on a message board – people do that. They also don’t turn less competitive owners into more competitive ones. There is simply no substitute for talented (and tolerable) owners. I’m all for putting these measures to a vote though.
-
Trey Baughn’s article proposes three measures, and I’d be open to all three of them. The first is a meaningful buy-in, which we already have (although if anyone wants to bump it up to $250, I would be very supportive). The second is an MILB draft – I already play in one Ottoneu league that has a similar concept, and I like it a lot. The third is arbitration coupons, which I’ve never heard of but am completely fine with conceptually.
-
In terms of the links, I think there are some good ideas here. I am against rule changes that would substantially curtail present value for future value swaps, but I don’t think any of these proposals would do that. They would just give rebuilding owners more to think about when selling, and more levers to pull as they pursue their rebuild.
-
Could not disagree more on the suggestion that emulating a real-life GM experience would be “woefully misguided”. Your argument doesn’t hold any water. If tanking were damaging MLB’s popularity, would the situation not be far worse for the NFL and NBA, leagues with much stronger incentives to tank? The popularity decline has more to do with poor marketing, poor leadership, longer/slower games not well suited to TV, and a CBA that discourages teams from putting their best product on the field.
