Are those type deals very common?
-
Does this mean I can get you to ask Jeff Sullivan and Ben Lindbergh over to watch baseball sometime? You can come, too.
-
Wow! Great work Sheryl! That's some mischievous dealings you researched. Congrats on a good read.
-
Thanks Pham!
-
Interesting article on Fangraphs by our own Sheryl Ring about Francisco Mejia. I didn’t realize that type of business went on in Baseball. Does it primarily involve Latin American players? Does this go on in other sports? Great article b

Anyone interested in buying low on Colome or Blake Parker?

What happened?

As far as I can tell you guys are all dicks. I'm surprised anyone is willing to stay in this league.
-
Geeze. Another person quit. What's going on here?
-
Wow, some serious insanity going on in this league. Before I make any roster moves, I would love to hear any trade offers. This looks like a very solid team, but I'm already in a 500 point hole, so will be open to anything.

I need a 3b.

As far as Ohtani, I think if you own him you have to play him every day at utility as well as pitcher to get the full value. If I had better options at utility, and only pitched him, I think I would trade him while his value is high. I have one share and I will play him every day unless someone else gets tho or he falls off. The frustrating think is you can’t always believe the red x. He started last night even though Ottoneu had him on the bench.
-
Poof, that is about the darnedest thing I have ever seen. I will have to say, I thought a lot of things that wasn’t fit to type out. I would certainly hope a new owner would take more than 20 minutes to look a team over, plus be able to do simple math. I will try to be nicer from now on.
-
My other Ottoneu league has a long chat last night about Ohtani's value. It was an interesting discussion, and we revealed our ideas about him at auction. Suffice to say, those who risked the cash reap the rewards. I'm not going to make deals for him because I'm still not convinced of his value. In fact, there are a lot of factors that affect his value. It's super interesting...esp in this format.
-
Interested to see any offers for Ohtani.
-
Pham-be nice to new owners man. Don't be so mean....LOL!
-
Pham-why did you treat that guy so badly...LOL. How dare you ask a reasonable question. That shit was hilarious. Dude did not like you man. - You not make him feel welcome. This is be fun. I don't spending my time on this. I leave league if don't get me new owner league way. Me big baby if don't get me way.-That's what I heard anyway. At least we got a little entertainment out of his day in the league. New owner Andrew-you've got some hard shoes to fill(uh, not really).
-
Ladies and Gents of this fine league. I have received a few trade offers which is nice to see and thank you for them. Since i just took the team over yesterday at 7pm, and am familiarizing myself with Ottoneu and the format which is very new to me(im 15yrs deep in roto/h2h yahoo 20tm dynasty etc) I am not making any trades for the next day or few days. I want to fully grasp everything before I engage. Sorry for any inconvenience. We can laugh about it when I take the c-ship this year :)
-
Poof with the post of the season. I always enjoy referring to oneself in the third person. I agree with Poof on the 24 hour thing. This was one of those instances. Drew- aka Kosher Knishes- is being given one no penalty round of cuts. I hope he does this today. If not, it will happen soon. Thanks to everyone!
-
Yep, looks like I missed a lot in one day. This is a perfect example of why we should not have changed the trade waiting period from 48 hours to 24 hours. Never saw the trade, no chance to vote, no chance to give opinion of the problem. All resolved with 48 hour waiting period. Just for the heck of it: glad it was canceled, I think it shoulda been, wasn't any bad treatment to him, dude was an ass, dude sucks with English on his post, glad he is gone, welcome new owner, Poof will win.

And I don't even know what the deal was that got this wacky ball rolling
-
Wow I missed a lot by not checking in for a day 😉. Welcome Andrew!
-
I did think about this, but was worried I couldn’t get everyone’s involvement in the veto. I figure it was easier to
bank on Kraken’s intellect than my ability to get 6-7 to veto. Plus, I worried about the ethics of this to Kraken. Anyway...
-
I find it interesting that we all (the other Owners) could have just vetoed the trade and none of this would have happened.
Welcome to the League Drew!!
-
Kraken has agreed to cancel the trade. I want to thank her for the response and for the understanding of the situation. Great job league! Go baseball!
-
Welcome to the league Andrew.
-
Thank you. I will. No worries, Stud Foundations informed me about the trade issue. This one has nada to do with me so I am fine with whatever the lg chooses to do. Side note, somebody saying it was a mistake after the fact or by accident is such a cop out. I feel for the other manager involved. None of that will occur with me! Thanks again everyone!
-
Welcome Drew. Look around, take it all in, change your team name. Once Kraken contacts me about that trade up there, I hope to rectify that situation as well. In the meantime, welcome. Enjoy yourself!
-
Hi everyone! My name is Andrew. Drew works also. I am the new owner. I appreciate you guys giving me the opportunity to crush this lg. I really look forward to playing with you guys. This is my first Ottoneu lg. I will learn the scoring system and ins and outs quickly I assume. Im going to take a dive into this roster and lg a little later. Just wanted to drop a quick message. Thanks again!! PS - Can I go ahead and rename my team?
-
Rizz, I feel your pain. I had the same struggle about a response earlier. I didn’t know I would set off such fireworks with one question. Definitely made for an interesting afternoon.
-
FWIW. Andy, our old buddy emailed me directly to tell me off and claim I trashed him on the board. I did some Lol'ing and now I am doing everything in my power to not write back. 20 minutes, make a bad deal, get pissed that we want to discuss it. Get further pissed when I remind him that some people on the internet have hard and gruff tones and to chill out. And then ultimately quit. What a day in the history of our little Ottoneu league?!?
-
1. New owner alert. This one comes from Stud. I also hear he likes quiet summer evenings of baseball and finishing just out of second to me. 2. I agree that we should cancel the trade, but I'd like Kraken's thoughts and/or input prior to make the decision. Kraken is one of the league's most active members. My hope is that she will understand this deal and quickly realize this is a trade that needs to be reworked.
-
I would think it best to cancel this one. I think a new owner would like to make that decision for themselves and not suffer from something they didn’t have a part in. Release the Kraken can always send the trade again. And I mean suffer in that they would have to cut players they might not want to.. I think the trade is fine as far as players. It just needs a loan.
-
Stud...you were fine. I told the new owner very early in this process that he be patient and not take offense. He immediately stayed offended by the tone of our discussions. I appreciate everyone’s critical discussion of the topic. I don’t enjoy people who claim it is for fun, but can’t handle when being fair is fun. Too bad. Again, thoughts on this trade up there will help.
-
I personally think we let Kraken decide - At this point, since his team will be abandoned, the new owner will get 1 round of free cuts I believe anyways. I'm sorry if you guys though I acted out unfairly to him at the detriment of the league but I personally feel that his attitude during this whole discussion was very poor and gave me a bad feeling in general, not to mention what rushing into a deal after 20 minutes of looking at the team says. He seemed to think we were being crazy to discuss..
-
Ladies and gentlemen, Eric...unsurprisingly to no one...decided to leave the league. Honestly, I was preparing to give him a friendly nudge. So, we are down an owner again AND there’s that real shitty deal up
There. Thoughts?
-
To this end, I want to emphasize that the only reasons we are considering this request is 1. You are a new owner. 2. It’s a ‘fun’ non-money league. So, it’s because the league is for ‘fun’ that we are allowing the deal to be reconsidered. If this were for cash, this would be a different conversation. Thanks for being here. It’s a great and competitive league. But, we also want good conversations about the league’s present and future because...it’s fun.
