WhatsApp sounds good. My number is (563) 505-5731.
My preference would be to keep the scoring system what it is now. Like others have said, we had the option to join a 4x4 league but specifically chose this format.

I am able to change the scoring format to 4x4 or w/e you guys want, but only if everything is interested. Like Hasty said, changing categories would drastically alter player value which is kinda bad in a semi-dynasty format. That being said, I would still be open to changing to 4x4

Alright league, let’s get a league chat started on whatsapp. It’s going to make communication a lot easier and it’ll be easier to find out who’s interested in what players this offseason. Either send me your phone number on here or text it to me at 831-345-7363 and i’ll add you.
-
I like the food for thought though. And it's cool to have a new guy already contributing actively to the discussion.
-
But personally, I like 5x5 exactly because of the fact that the stats don't always tell you the complete story about a player. I like having to consider all the other factors, including luck, in my player valuations. It makes it more fun for me. Getting more granular with the stats that are used to score fantasy seems less fun. I want to use the underlying stats to try to explain the roto stats, not get closer to using the underlying stats themselves.
-
Right. Max, maybe you're not aware that the league started just this year, but considering this fact, you'll realize that as recently as this spring, we all had our pick of leagues to join, and we all chose specifically to join a 5x5 roto format.
-
I know when we (my teams 2 owners) were looking for leagues when we started, we were looking for 5x5 since we had never done ottoneu, and didn’t want to do a whole new format and a very different scoring system than we were used to. Not that I think there’s anything wrong with the 4x4 system, but changing categories would drastically alter player value (loss of steals being the biggest loss) which is tough to do in a semi-dynasty league. Also not sure if it’s even possible to change
-
I hope I don't come off as the new guy trying to change the rules BUT why are we doing the old school 5x5 scoring system? With all the advanced analytics out there, everyone pretty much agrees batting average and wins are essentially worthless stats (in that they don't tell you very much about the player). I would suggest Ottoneu Classic - Rotisserie-style 4x4 sabermetric-hybrid (OBP, SLG, HR, R and ERA, WHIP, HR/9, K). This is the original Ottoneu format anyway, have we considered this?

League chat would be very useful.
This league also needs a traveling trophy.

I'm flexible but will throw GroupMe out there as an option as well

Ya man let’s get some type of league chat going. I vote for either slack or whatsapp.
-
Hey guys,
I think arb ends after today and I wanted to present some players I believe have trade value, in case anyone is interested in flipping some players.
Justin Verlander
James Paxton
Giancarlo Stanton
Gary Sanchez
Joey Gallo
Will Meyers
Andrew McCutchen
Chris Taylor
Also, we really need a whatsapp / slack / text thread for this group. For the time being, I can be reached here or on my cell at 831.236.8658.

Glad to have ya!
So after arbitration ends, the next deadline will be the January 31 keeper deadline. You can’t make any player adds, but you can make trades in between that time. Prior to the keeper deadline you can cut players without penalty. After the keeper deadline, your roster is basically locked until the draft (date tbd)
-
Hey guys, happy to be in this league and excited because it's a format I'm not used to. Just distributed my arbitration dollars and looking forward to when I can start cutting / trading many of the scrap on my team and picking up players from the FA list. When am I allowed to do that (assuming when arb ends)?
-
I don’t want to call out any specific cases, but let’s make sure we are looking at the salaries of the top talent and making sure we aren’t overpricing anyone by adding too much to their salaries. If they get too expensive and get cut, then the arbitration dollars are wasted. Better to spread it out to more players on the team, or add to guys that are clearly underpriced, imho.
-
Selden said he’ll get his down before the deadline.
-
Aww yea, and remember u can adjust up until the final day!
-
Seldon is left for arbitration but everyone else got theirs in. That’s great. Sure hope we can keep the league active.

I think he meant Season 1 champs. They have $8 remaining. IAFLB is good to go.

Wonder if I did something wrong? Mine shows I have $0 to allocate

I think so but it looks like a few owners still need to get their arb $$ allotted

CASEY:The sooner the better if I can take the team over since Oakland BD's arb $ has yet to be distributed. its be nice to get on that so I don't have to rush to get it done

I could take on Oakland BD. Im one of the co-owners of Ebby Cal(obviously since I'm responding as them) and can easily break on to operate that team. keeping it in house is always the best bet in my opinion

Great playing with you this season, and sad to hear that you're prioritizing your children over fantasy baseball ;-) I do have a friend who would be interested in your team.
-
I'm thinking that you guys should probably replace me as well. I had a baby this summer and just don't have the time/head space for as many fantasy leagues as I used to. Best of luck to everyone next year.

that worked. he's now the proud new owner of Selden's Sluggers #RIP
