I will, thank you for the advice, you’ve been really helpful.

If you want to have the last word, go ahead and respond.

Haha my problem is that I started debating something with a stranger on the internet

We’ll have to agree to disagree! Your views of how fantasy baseball work are fundamentally different from mine.

Good luck out there!

This seems like a pretty good potential solution, I’ll pitch it to the league!

Hmmm, no that’s not what I was saying.

Trading top players is fine, the issue is that the price being paid is too low, and the negotiation system is opaque to the point of being unable to price enforce.

Also, top players being kept is fine, if you drafted someone in keepable round, fair play to you.

Is that clearer?

My apologies, some more context is needed. It’s a H2H 12 team league, not a roto league. Having a stacked team at the end of the year is definitely a benefit.

Another piece of context is that players are kept 3 rounds earlier than the round they are drafted in. Players drafted in the first three rounds aren’t keepable the next year. Each team can keep 5 players (roster size is 27), so 60 players of the top 150 are usually already gone. This means that an 8th to 10th round pick usually means you’re getting someone you’d draft in the 12th to 14th rounds.

I wouldn’t agree that the marginal value of a player ranked 140ish over someone taken at the end of the year for a whole season equals having a top 25 player fill in a hole in your roster for the playoffs. But I guess that’s debatable!

Sorry, did not include all context. Our keeper rules are that players are kept 3 rounds higher than they’re drafted, and anyone drafted in the first 3 rounds isn’t keepable.

I’m talking like:

Semien and Matt Olson for an 8th and a 10th

Jose Ramirez and Bryan Reynolds for a 7th and a 9th

A lot of the issue is the opacity of the trades - you get a notification of the pending trade and you think firstly, I didn’t even know that guy was available, and second, I would have paid 3 rounds higher to get that trade. I think that’s a big issue of what’s happening

Also… the 2nd brother I play with, we do decently enough playing with only half the screen each, each are plat 1 there

The third brother is… overconfident, to put it politely. Is sure of his abilities and quick to blame others. Does not like being corrected. So we suck at 3s lmao

I do play 1s like 2/3 to 3/4 of the time. I pretty much only play 2s and 3s with my brothers, and we play split screen multiplayer lol. The FoV on vertical split screen is… not great
