Good season Mervdiddy. I’m looking forward to dethroning you next year!
-
Sorry, I meant to make that cut before the auction for Alexander ended. Wasn’t trying to sneak one through
-
I only bid the max I could for Stripling, which was $5. I added Darvish in the auction only to drop him after to get some salary back. Thought it was legit since we've been doing this since day one.

Ruling on the field (no penalty) stands: simultaneous Darvish auction was effort to free up cap to finance bid on Stripling. Timing of the transactions was bang-bang. Play ball!
-
As per Drewville's post from 6/2, adding a note that there were no other bids on Yu Darvish, so his placement today on Albhaino's roster stands. However, there were other bids on Stripling who was awarded roughly simultaneously. To the rules committee!

Thanks for the clarification on that. I had not seen that rule before and apologize if I am guilty of breaking it in the past!

Good luck dethroning M-Diddy,
Cheers

The situation has occurred many times already, for which I apologize to the duped owners, but it wouldn't be practical at all to enforce it retroactively. It will however be enforced from today on forward. Hit me up if you have any questions left regarding this issue.

...guys to report back to me or MervDiddy (Jose Can You See) in case you're on the wrong end of things. And of course you can point out situations in which you didn't partake yourself.
So if you win a player by placing an illegal bid, the player will go to the highest legal bidder (like I did earlier with Nick Kingham). If you turn out to be the only bidder, you can have the player despite having bid illegally.

...caused by the somewhat strange financial situation of our league at the beginning of the season.
The rule was put in place to discourage owners of freeing up money only after the result of the auction was known. Unfortunately Ottoneu currently doesn't present the option to prevent owners from this tactic automatically, so here's what we're gonna do.
The number of auctions has dipped a bit, so I feel it should be more doable to monitor the auctions. On top of that I would like to ask you...

Hey guys,
With Memorial Day already behind us I would like to take this opportunity to remind you of the following rule:
c. At no time should 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.
It's a rule that most of you should be familiar with (our two rookies excluded of course), but it turned out to be hard to enforce it with the heavily increased number of auctions...

Even my wife doesn't care to hear me whinging about this, but I now have 18 players on the DL. 18! How is that even possible?
In any case, now inviting trade offers that include anyone not on crutches.

If anyone has any guys on the DL that they don't want, my collection just dipped into the single digits for the first time in some time and I now have room for a few more.

33 minutes before the auction deadline I still had the highest bid :-) sorry Seismic...

This news broke 30 minutes before his auction finished in our league. Tough luck. "BREAKING: Eovaldi is out for #Rays. Has loose bodies in elbow, arthroscopic surgery seems likely."
-
I want a do-over haha
-
:p
Hey, at least nobody here paid $64 for Ohtani! Ours might be the league minimum for him, not that I'm complaining.

Sort by max value and marvel at how we're responsible for three of the top 4 max values. Also notice how the max values are actually kind of reasonable outside of the top 4.

I fully agree with Wesley's comment about nominations. But I also remember that I ran out the clock a few times by accident because the time was rather short. So if that happens again I apologize beforehand. But I won't do it on purpose.

By the way, last year some of the managers skipped multiple nominations by running out the clock, which could be considered an exploit. Therefore I ask you guys kindly to make a concerned effort to nominate a player within the allotted time, if only to avoid stalling the draft. Thanks in advance!

The draft would be at the following times:
06.00 KST
22.00 CET
17.00 EDT
14.00 PDT
However, if Slug-less in Seattle's fill-in can't adjust to the new time, I feel it's fair to stay put. I'll PM him and keep you people updated.

Is the time moving? My buddy drafting for me had 4-6 EST available so he might have to bail midway if you move it later. Let me know what the final decision is and I’ll try to adjust
-
It would be 6 a.m. in Korea if the auction were to begin 1 hour earlier?

I've received a request from a couple of owners to delay the start of the auction by an hour. How do you guys feel about that potential change?

March 3rd is fine for me anytime. The 24th I will have to have someone else draft for me. But I’m willing to do that if necessary.

@Seismic Werthquake: Do you know if your notifications for PMs are activated? I messaged you a while back and it says it's still unread. Let me know what's the best way to reach you for future purposes, thanks!
