Everyone has to have a hobby. Especially when retired. He has a crazy system in place. My only question is what happens when team ownership increases to 200+ teams?
-
That’s insane and serious commitment. Impressive yet crazy. I’m just glad you aren’t a bot something.
-
Do it alone in my little office at home, established a method to do lineups, unfortunetaly 20$ leagues I do less frequently but when I do it's for 5-7 days in advance so unless there are postponed games or injuries, my lineups are always up to date, the other leagues (50, 75 and 100) are done on rotation every 2-3 days. Emails, trades, auctions and waivers are done every morning (I get about a 1000 emails a day, sometimes more). Take me out of here!!!! Nah, I'm having fun
-
I hope “papi” has a paid staff of managers in a cubicle bullpen that work around the clock to run all those teams geez louise good luck with that. Seems pretty miserable to me but what do I know I’m just a simpleton with two teams.
-
Hey give him a break he has 122 teams to manage. It must take all day.
-
Team AKA Big Papi Please make the necessary moves to validate your roster. You are over the roster limit. You recently added a player while over the limit
-
LOL well that changes everything
-
If you "pencil in" salaries in the Roster Organizer it will subtract that from your available cap space on that page, which I'm guessing is what's causing the difference. Looks like you've got $55 for 10 roster spots in reality!
-
It says I have $15 of cap budget left on my team page but in the auction room I think it says i have $55. How does that work?
-
Auction Draft is Tomorrow at 7pm. Draft should take a couple of hours to complete. Any issues with anyone making it?
-
The Auction Draft is in 10 days, so plan to make the necessary arrangements for March 19th at 7PM ET.
-
Trades open back up after auction draft
-
Will we open a trading period before the auction?
-
Final March 19th 7pm. Start time could change if needed. I would like to get draft done before first game. Please plan ahead.
-
Up to you, commish. But either way I think we should get a firm date locked in sooner than later.
-
Another option is March 19th for the draft. Looks like only 2 teams marked as unavailable.
-
That seems bad, considering the players involved in those two games. I understand that there aren't a lot of good time slots available but we have 3+ weeks to work with before real games start.
-
The stats from the opening series in South Korea won’t count if an Ottoneu league waits until after those games to mark its auction as complete.
-
Do stats from the two games prior to 3/27 get applied retroactively?
-
3/27 works for me, thanks!
-
I think the 27th makes sense! Hopefully gives everyone enough time to make plans one way or another.
-
Impossible for me on 3/1

I set the Auction Draft Date for March 27th 7pm ET. I would rather not have it early March. Willing to discuss different dates and times to make it work for everyone.
-
Do you think March 1st or March 6th is too early?
-
I think we should get a date on the books ASAP and allow people to find proxies to draft for them if necessary... Hard to plan around people who are available 3 or 4 days all month
-
Based on the poll there aren't a lot of days where everyone looks to available. March 1st looks promising but it's so early.
-
Any update on potential draft dates?

Please fill out your availability using the link above. The 2024 MLB season is scheduled to begin on March 20–21 with a two-game series between the Dodgers and Padres held in Seoul, South Korea before the regular season starts for other teams March 28.
Do we want to try and get the Auction Done before March 20th?
-
We can create a poll for possible auction draft dates. Now that the league is full we can look at everyone's availability.
-
New owner for Italian Breakfast welcome to the league. You are allowed to make one time penalty free cuts to your roster. You will have to make all the cuts at once when you decide who to cut.
-
Draft date discussion should start about now

Thanks, excited to join!
-
Welcome to the league, guys!
-
Awesome thank you
-
Thanks, I'm done with my cuts. Got some work to do at the auction.
-
New Owners for the Invalids and IL Incorporated you can make your penalty free cuts. Please let me know when you are done. Welcome to the League.
-
Thanks for dealing with that, commish. I may have another buddy interested. I sent him the available teams. Will follow up when I know more.
-
Thank you for taking care , look forward to some active new owners!
-
Thanks for handling, commish.
-
I understand that people have other things going on. However, these teams would go inactive, miss arbitration/deadlines, and not set lineups. Also not participating in the auctions. There is plenty of time to fit it in.
We should be able to find new owners that can make one time penalty free cuts. I want owners that want to play, meet deadlines, and participate.
-
Hello all, as commissioner I have made the decision to remove team Cubano and IL Incorporated. I worked with the Owner of Ottoneu to provide them with refunds.
-
Roster is invalid and you have Wander Franco, what’s your angle?
-
Sorry man but I dont need to do anything until the season begins.
-
VIII e. Teams must always be able to field a 40 man roster for $400; therefore following the keeper deadline, a team salary must never exceed $360 + the number of players on the roster. However, there is no salary cap from the end of the MLB season until the keeper deadline.
-
Also the rules state that
"Teams that are not under roster limits as defined in I. b. are not allowed to participate in the Auction Draft"
So I'm good.
-
I'm sorry but the auction hasnt happened yet so when it happens then I'll worry about it then.
-
Cubano that's not how Ottoneu works - your team needs to be in a valid state before the auction.
-
Ok back to way it was
-
You reached out to me. I could care less if my team is an invalid state at this moment in time. I dont need to do the auction. Put Bleday back on my team then without the cap hit cause you cut him, I didnt.
-
Is there no penalty for not getting your cuts in before the deadline? New managers claiming a team getting a round of free cuts I understand but just managers with invalid rosters that didn’t take time to make any cuts in the 3 months they were available to be made seems unfair because now they can sit back and evaluate all the cuts that were made late deadline day and evaluate free agency pool and adjust accordingly with their cuts. that would be Italian Breakfast & IL inc so they need
