Agreed - public shaming seems sufficient if cuts are made soon
-
Yes - agree with Brew. I think it’s fair to have the cuts be made penalty free. I think any penalties would disappear anyways upon the auction of those players in the draft, so no need to bother with having them.
-
He can make his cuts without penalty, but prefer public shaming!

Looks like Faye is back online, would anyone have an issue with us removing the players he intends to cut - as he missed the cut deadline. He would have missed the deadline by 3 days. I don't think its a big deal if we allow him to cut his players after the deadline, since it is so shortly after. However, if anyone does have issue, please raise your hand. I'll still allow him to cut, but with the half price cap penalty. You have until noon tomorrow to announce your displeasure with Faye.

Anyone want JA Happ or spencer Howard? Send me a message.

I set the afternoon of 3/21 as the draft date so we can all pencil that into our calendars. If you already have a conflict, let me know. The MLB season is currently slated to start 4/1.

Posting this so strangers know I am a real person. I renamed the team (h/t Cooly) and plan to bring some long-term stability to it. Look forward to being in this league

We have officially replaced the owner(s) of False Idol due to inactivity. Dave Matthews, a friend from the B-N circle, is taking over. He actually filled in to draft for the previous False Idol owner a few years ago. Please be kind to him as he gets up to speed, haha.

FRANMILLION / PTBNL / FALSE IDOL - FRIENDLY REMINDER THAT ARBITRATION IS DUE TOMORROW. PLEASE DON'T GIVE IT TO MY GUYS.

Cole is gone, Trout sweepstakes is on now. Send your best offers!

Turned Ankiel is the only one who's made any sorta decent offer for Trout and Cole. I hate to give the guy his 4th championship but you guys aren't giving me much choice here...will give y'all another day or so.

I know one of the co-owners. I sent him a text.

Thanks for reading and trying to steal my rankings. Good thing I can’t afford anybody at draft this year!

Commishes..can we get those waiver claims backed out. Sounds like it’s an Ottoneu site error.

Anyone interested in a $40 Stanton? I’m not cutting him but willing to move.

15 of March also works for me

I'll set the draft at noon eastern time on the 15th for now. That seems to work for all of the feedback received so far.

Morning of the 15th would work fine for me if we're looking to do things early that day

Good along as early enough as well.

Reminder that arbitration ends in just over two weeks on Nov 14th. Make sure to get your spiteful allocations in before the deadline.

Thanks Jon, I was about to post some embarrassing videos and photos from your youth. Good thing you recanted in time!

I want to apologize to Brew, Nate, and the rest of you clowns for my late night outburst. I think I was mostly frustrated with the Cubs. Much love, and best of luck next season, except for Cooly, no luck for you.
-
Hope you fellas are happy letting Brew run away with another one. I tried to help some of you catch him *cough* Nate *cough* but apparently we’re not all playing for championships. Better luck next year, chumps
-
That was my original thinking. Guess I should have waited for an official ruling before dropping my players then....
-
The penalty is that you can't make moves. You can't sell your unkeepable assets or move on up and comers. If you want to totally freeze your team and let others move around you, I don't really care.
-
If it's illegal, then there should be a penalty. Otherwise it's a legitimate strategy for rebuilders.
-
not going to lie, I’ve been asleep on the job and hadn’t noticed. (Again, I’m a terrible commissioner, if anyone else wants to do this, please feel free). Can we just go with a “don’t do this anymore” penalty and Franmillion gets under the cap/players limit? Not really sure how any other penalty would work. Thanks Trader Joe’s for pointing out the lunacy
-
I'll start dropping players and maybe it'll work itself out organically...I assume someone will nominate Stanton again. I clearly defined penalty would be good for future infractions though.
-
I can easily get back under the roster size limit, but the cap limit will be an issue due to the cap penalties from the guys I bought on my spree. Can I beg commissioner lenience on a cap limit penalty this time due to my ignorance and the lack of clearly outlined penalties at the time of my infractions?
-
Shit, I didn't know you guys actually read the rules. I'm interested in this penalty as well. I wouldn't have deployed this strategy if I'd known there may or may not be a penalty at the commissioner's discretion. I thought this was an ottoneu loophole like when the 1st place team bids $1 on every player to drive prices up.
-
According to the rules I.c. "At no time shall a team willingly go over roster and salary cap limits. If a team knowingly does this, they will face penalties at the discretion of their league's commissioner." I think it's clear that this is against the rules, but we've never discussed penalties for doing this. In my opinion, if a team's roster goes invalid for a couple days, then it's no big deal but I don' think it should be invalid for 2 months. I'd be interested in commish opinion t

Donkey here. Your jokes aren't the worst. Is this illegal? I haven't been notified of any rules against it. I assumed the penalty is that I can't make any adds or trades or set my lineup. I'm fine with those repercussions for the time being...
-
When will Franmillion get his team under the caps?
If I am beating a dead horse (or *donkey*) and our league already decided not to *rein him in,* then I apologize for missing the message.
*I hope Franmillion is the guy that goes by Donkey-Teeth or my jokes make even less sense.
