Is this an Ottoneu league?

Is this an Ottoneu league?

No, it's not THAT serious.

H, R, HR, RBI, AVG, OBP, SB
IP, W, L, SV, K, ERA, WHIP

H2H league.

Join up, meth-head.

Not to be a dick, but I don't think you will get much interest... very tough to get a new owner for a money league keeper league when the team sucks... ESPECIALLY when it is only a 10 team league... Many people barely like to do 10 team redraft leagues...

There was a worse team that someone took over last year and ended up winning the title by picking up Gary Sanchez and Benintendi and doing a couple trades, and drafting well.

Some people like a challenge, some people like a crutch.

If someone wants to take over a keeper money league team with Trout, Mookie, Kris Bryant and Correa, all I can say is good luck finding one.

 

[Bojack_Horseman]

Is there a man in all the land who dares accept this challenge?

 

[Nosferatu]

I might be interested but I wanna see the other teams first.

Trevor Story
Bregman

Yu Darvish

Rizzo
Marte

McCutchen

Verlander
Cole

That's what "teams" are like heading into the draft.

 

[Nosferatu]

So whoever does take over the team will they get like the first 3 picks of the draft?

Ranks of top 4 batters from the available team-

27
37
76
94

Team with Dozier-

33
35
61
67

Pitcher ranks for the available team's top 4-

40
78
128
151

Pitcher ranks for Dozier team's top 4-

38
79
113
118

Whoever takes over the team gets 4th overall pick.

I understand that not everyone can play fantasy baseball without a crutch. If someone's willing to put in a little time scouring waiver wire, trading, etc they can build this team up just fine.

I won't be keeping Giancarlo on my team, if you want to trade away Urias for Giancarlo then you can boost your bats. But bear in mind this is a keeper league, and guys like Addison Russell and Julio Urias are at a premium.

 

[Nosferatu]

I didn't say no man, just trying to see what I can get away with...

Gimme a bit to think on it but I am interested, I like fantasy baseball for money so...

Ya might wanna pull back on the crutch references, insulting people into playing probably isn't gonna work...

I think that was a reference to my post... and kept on bringing it up... but most don't mind a challenge, but a 10 team league that seems very generic... i think i would certainly need a crutch to have any interest...

Wasn't meant to be an insult - seriously some people refuse to join a keeper league midstream because they can't have Trout/Harper/Kris Bryant/Correa on their team.

And there's one guy in the league that actually does have Harper/Kris Bryant/Correa on his team.

But he threw away the better part of 3 years to park them on his roster and couldn't do any prospecting in-season, had zero lineup flexibility while he squatted on Harper, then Bryant.

He hasn't won money since 2014, but he made a run at it last year and is in good shape this year.

I doubt people like that would abandon their team, furthermore the league would not be happy if we let somebody come in and take over a team like that if they don't manage it.

That's the problem with the available team - the owner stopped managing it about halfway through the season, and his absentee ownerism caused a couple guys to miss the playoffs, and let a couple guys luck into it, including the eventual playoff winner.

So the crutch comment wasn't meant to be an insult, it's obvious you are coming in behind the curve as you would be in any keeper league you join. But one good draft and a couple good waiver wire pickups and you can win the whole thing in a h2h league. All you have to do is make the playoffs and get a little lucky.

I'd give you my roster and take over the available team if I hadn't spent years building up my roster.

If you know what I'm saying.

7 of us have been in this league forever, the 8th is one of my friends who paid this year's entry fee within 5 minutes of getting the Leaguesafe email. The 9th is one of the other owner's friends who won it all last year.

The 10th just needs to be a man and take ownership of the team and manage it.

That's what we're looking for.

A man who's not afraid of a challenge.

And taking over a keeper league team that's been running for 10+ years is always a challenge, to some degree.

But I guarantee that whoever joins will have a blast, and if they know what they're doing, can be competitive in year 1.

It was indeed a reference to your post.

This is a league of men.

We have hair on our chests, and we don't have time for whiny bullshit. We read Fangraphs but we make fun of those fucking nerds.

No wonder Milk didn't want in...

I don't need to have a stacked team I just like to have a punchers chance. There are a few pieces on that team to build around and I like the fact it's an ongoing league, this will make how many years? I don't mind the challenge of building my team as long as I know it's not a one and done league...

This is the 11th year.

The core guys aren't going anywhere and I don't think the last 2 owners we added are going anywhere either.
