Fed up with trying to navigate #1 a 60 game season #2 Opting out and In creating chaotic Add/Drop/FAAB scenarios # Covid sidelining not just a player here or there, but entire teams further complicating fielding a complete roister let alone a competitive one.
I thought daily transactions would help, but even then--it's hit or miss.
I AM enjoying watching Live MLB games, but honestly--I'd like every one of my rot leagues to shut it down, whomever wins ANY league is the one who's been most fortunate and please--before anyone says it--a FULL 162 game season over 6 months mitigates luck far greater than 60 over 2. And NO watching an entire team go down is NOT the same as fading injuries over a full season.
I don't know about you, but I love the competition of pitting my roto skills against other owners who really know their stuff and I'm fortunate that 3 of the 4 leagues I'm in have such owners--Top notch, but this season isn't really about that--it's who avoids the sinkholes that come out of nowhere--Markakis opts out, get's dropped, opts in NOW someone gets a free shot at the guy, not that he'll make a difference, but say Trout decides to Opt out because of his new child--then in Sept, see the Angels making a run at the playoffs and opts back in--to help em--why should the Trout owner, who most likely dropped him to clear cap space and help his team, be OUT that player? Losing him to a possible competitor? Why should that trout owner have to KEEP Trout on the IL taking up cap space (even half of a full Trout contract is a lot of your cap) Just in case?
I know, I'm venting--I still enjoy tracking boxscores, but after a week of pulling my hair out because I have to field 3 players out of 23, I'm done. I'm torn about the MLB season shutting down, on one hand I love watching the games, but on the other--should it shut down--this rotobastardseason would close too.
Fuck this. venting. Fuck.
