40 guys… that’s a completely reasonable take. It’s been a pleasure. Anyone else that needs to leave, appreciate you letting the Commisioner know.
-
Look- the commissioner is getting married. He’s got more important things to do then Arbitration. He always has made sure to keep only active guys around, but this is a tough league with no $ other than paying in. It’s voluntary and not a paid gig to commission so it comes across as abrasive… if a league that can forgive not doing arbitration but confirming via email or some communication they want in and $ then great. If you want something else let the commissioner know and we will replace.
-
I agree with everyone's takes here. I do want out, and messaged the commissioner to that effect about a week before the arb deadline. Without a response from him, I'm not really sure how to go about leaving, so I haven't been responsive to trade requests, etc. It sounds to me like we (well, you) need a new commissioner if the current one is abdicating the job. Hey, just like real baseball!
Shame on

Yeah, it would be nice if the commissioner were taking at least a minimal role. No arbitration completed and not even a single post on this message board in nearly a year. If he's not into this league anymore, someone needs to take the reigns.
-
No, I don't want out. But at least 25% of the league was inactive this season, and those inactive teams have not been addressed. Missing arbitration should be an automatic dismissal in my opinion. The cut deadline is a few weeks away, so if we're getting new owners, we need them now. I'm just raising my concerns and airing some frustration.
-
If you want out feel free. I love the competition in this league and I thought you played awesome until the end. The commissioner’s team never really had the chance but he still had a middle of the pack competitive year and a lot of guys traded for some solid prospects. I even joined another league from this one because I enjoy this league and appreciate everyone’s activity.
That being said. If someone isn’t active they get booted is what’s happened traditionally, but it’s a tough
-
Maaaannnn I finally got a decent team (on paper) for the first time in 3 years too
-
What is the future of this league? If we have multiple unresponsive teams, including a commissioner who didn't complete arbitration, what should I expect from the coming season? If the league is dying, I don't want to just go through the motions. But I need some clarity sooner rather than later, so I can decide if it's worth continuing to invest my $20 and mental energy this season. Not sure how other folks feel, but with no change thus far I wanted to be open about how I'm feeling.
-
Last day for arbitration, gents.
-
Thanks all, and thanks Pine Tar for that breakdown, that's really cool! A lot of credit goes to the (hopefully) MVP, Aaron Judge for that! And hopefully he can stay on fire through the playoffs! :D
-
Great team Stanton! Excellent season. Offense was down an insane amount this year
Teams with 5+ ppg for offense
2018:5
2019: 12
2020: 5
2021: 10
2022: 2
Well done, buddy.
-
Great work Stanton. I was happy to be on the podium, but you were in a whole other league. Way to put together a great lineup.
-
Let me add my congratulations to the Ferrymen! Well done, great season!
-
Congrats Stanton!! Really turned on the jets that last month.
-
Thank you! Really happy with how my squad coalesced this year -- it was hard fought, had a lot of great teams in the league! Looking forward to lots of fun wheeling and dealing this offseason, too!
-
Congrats on yet another champion ship Stanton Island! You were hanging around all year, but really turned it up at the end. Well deserved!
-
Nice! I dropped off pretty quick after hitting my innings limit.

I can't cool the flames now, I'm running up the global leaderboards! Making a big push for top 20, I'm at #29 right now!
-
Stanton Island has scored over 1000 points in the last 7 days! Judge is averaging 15 PPG over the last two weeks! Looks like it's going to be a runaway... Cool the flames!

Prospects szn
-
Carroll and Álvarez are going to be #1 and #2 on MLB prospects list when Greene graduates... Ugg... :(
-
Lol, I think that falls under the no-take-backsies portion of the league constitution
-
Two people voted to veto this trade... Can I change my vote to veto also? :) https://ottoneu.fangraphs.com/842/viewtrade?id=75486&pending=1
-
60-man roster objective completed
-
Is he on the 60-day DL? If not, I'm not interested.
-
If you didnt get the first Wilmer Flores here is your chance to get the second one! Which one is real and which one is the impostor?
-
Pick up the pace!
-
Alas, I've fallen out of the global top 50... Hopefully I'll make a triumphant return at some point!
-
You two are killing it... I've got the pedal to the floor and I can barely keep up!
-
Nearly a month later, we still have three teams in the Top 50! Pretty awesome.
-
I missed that... OUCH!
-
George Kirby with a 4 homer 45 point day!! Oh wait, he's a pitcher...never mind.
-
Well let me know if anyone wants to trade some cash for some players. I've got a surplus.
-
I thought about it but the risk/reward didn't quite pan out in my favor given limited funds right now. Need to focus on players who are helping me right now.
-
Ok right, Mayhem cut him. Yeah I didn't bid b/c I don't have $20 to spend on someone who may not pitch this year. In fact, I don't have $2 to spend at the moment.
-
Still here, just no interest.

Pretty surprised no one else bid on Beuhler. Is everyone still paying attention in this league? I know he's risk of injury going to zero if he gets TJ, but I think at that price he's still worth a gamble.
-
It's a sad day in Projectland. Buehler was one of my original draft picks the first year we started the league ($6 in 2018).
-
Yes, this league's been great this year. If you don't score 200 pts in a day you're likely to lose your lead here. And teams coming up behind us fast also!
-
We have 3 top 50 scorers currently!
-
Lane Thomas was a last minute addition to my lineup, too! So glad I didn't leave those 40 points on my bench!
-
Lane Thomas! Brandon Rodgers! The live ball era is back!!!
-
Gared just missed Brendan Rodgers' game of the year after picking him up yesterday.
-
Thanks! I've got some work to do to get into the top 32 for the next cut though.
-
I think the cut is 100? I'm 136th, so not looking good. Good luck representing the league!
-
I should. I'm in 89th place, about 70 points up from the cut line.
-
Are you going to make the OPL cut? It looks like I'm not going to make it, despite being 20th overall in FGPts...
-
I wanted that Mets game to keep going. I wanted Lugo to get in there too. That definitely help me feel better about advancing in the OPL.
