By the former owner’s request, I have abandoned the 7th Inning Streakers. If anyone knows someone looking for a team etc.

Hi Sea Lions, welcome to the league. I agree about the format. I don't want the same setup in every league I'm in, but it might be my favorite, and the slow draft is another great feature. Quick is an excellent commish who is fast to communicate and is always on the ball. Best of luck this season.
-
Welcome to the league Sea Lions. The slow draft is done through couchmanagers. There is an article introducing the concept here https://fantasy.fangraphs.com/thinking-about-auctions-fast-and-slow-logistics-and-details/. We’ve had good results doing two years of slow drafts.
-
I have looked thorugh old messages and get the idea of the slow draft. looking forward to it.
-
Hi All. Took over Big Papi. This is my third year and third (and last) Ottoneu team. First year was points, second year was an H2H team and I am very pleased to have found a hybrid league, so, just like in baseball, you can be great (or just above average) and then suck, or grab the whole prize, in the playoffs. Also this is my first weekly lineups. I am also intrigued by the fact that you use a slow draft. How does that work?
-
Take care of yourself, Big Papi
-
Please abandon my team, thanks for the fun, too much on my Ottoneu plate
-
Arbitration ends in just over 24 hours. There are 4 teams that have not participated. Your commissioner asks you to participate. Thank you.
-
Thanks - excited to join the league and appreciate the heads up about the allocations.

Welcome to the new owner of Good Eye Mates. If you have any questions about Ottoneu or this particular league, feel free to ask me or the rest of the league. As commissioner, I am obliged to point out that you have a little over a week to get your allocations done.
-
It's November 1st, and your commissioner reminds you that there are 2 weeks left to do your arbitration. As I write this, 8 teams have not completed arbitration. This includes Good Eye Mates which is currently abandonned. Thank you for your attention to this.
-
Arbitration has begun. If you need some direction, I will recommend these articles from Chad Young in Fangraphs: https://fantasy.fangraphs.com/revisiting-ottoneu-arbitration-strategies-part-i/ https://fantasy.fangraphs.com/revisiting-ottoneu-arbitration-strategies-part-ii/

Welcome to the new owner of RocketScience. If you have any questions about Ottoneu or this particular league, you can ask me or ask the league right here.
-
As with Good Eye Mates, I have abandonned RocketScience. I will forgo the obvious joke.
-
RocketScience will not be returning. Thanks for a fun season and success in the future!

Good Eye Mates has informed me that he will not be back, so I have marked the team as abandonned. If you anyone who would be interested in this kind of league, let them know about this team.
-
The position eligibility for all players have been updated. I recommend Chad Young’s article on FanGraphs - https://fantasy.fangraphs.com/ottoneu-position-gainers/ - for a summary of the changes.
-
If anyone does not want to continue with their team, please let me know. The sooner a new owner is found, the better. The more owners we have in the arbitration process the better.
-
Congrats to Lindenwood on winning the ship' and to Quick for another great year. Was a hell of a season. Looking forward to next season already. Hopefully everyone comes back next year.

Thanks for the fun week (and season), Chris. It was a great matchup; I just had the right bits of luck at the right time. Still, I'm ecstatic to have that digital trophy next to my name.
Here's to next season! (And go Cubs!)
-
Let me also thank everyone else who has made it to the finishing line in this league. I wasn't optimistic in January, but here we are. I will cover some housekeeping matters in the next few days, but please take a moment to reflect on Dinger Derby 2023. It was quite a season. All my best, Chris.
-
Congratulations to the Lindenwood Stars who just plain beat me this week. They were better than my team at hitting, better at pitching and better at managing. Well done, Lindenwood Stars, well done.
-
I didn't even think about you adding Junior! Very fun late season add in. It's all about pitching for me. I've got three aces and the ever so boom-or-bust Jesus Luzardo against good matchups. I'll live or die by them.
-
It has indeed been a fun week. We are currently separated by .34 of a point. I repeat, .34 of a point. The race for third is also a nail biter. Good times. I commiserate with my opponent on his bad injury luck, and I wish him nothing but the best for the next three days. Even as I call on my nineteen year old secret weapon - go Junior! What a season!
-
A fun week so far in the championship round! I've been hit with some unfortunate injuries the last few days that may be difficult to compensate for. Wilson Contreras and Carlos Correa both out, along with going down a reliever (I had a back-up who is also injured).
-
The playoff is one week long. Obviously, the team with most number of points at the end of the week advances to the next round. As Know Your Werth wrote, the playoffs are a daily moves league. A maximum of 8 starts from starting pitchers can be used. You can use your entire roster. Good luck.
-
Daily lineups, yes. 8 SP starts per week limit.
-
Is it daily lineups for the playoffs?

It's been a fun regular season. Good luck to everyone in the playoffs (and more luck to the players on my team).
-
This is the last week of the regular season. Playoffs begin next Monday. Only the top six teams will advance to the playoffs. The top two teams will have a one week bye. Plan accordingly and good luck to everyone.
-
Public Service Announcement: Tomorrow, April 17th, is Patriot's Day in Boston. The Boston Marathon is run. It is also the tenth anniversary of the bombing. The Boston Red Sox game starts at 11:10 EDT, which means that the weekly lineups lock at 11:10 EDT tomorrow. So make sure your lineups are set early.
-
So I'm just like not allowed to have Middle Infielders in this league huh?
-
I rescind my ire after an example of grace and now return to enjoying the AL East battle as a neutral observer.
-
All of my ire is directed at the Yankees for finally putting Montas on the 60-Day IL ONE HOUR after I had to cut him to set my roster for the week.
You stink Yankees. May the Orioles, Rays, and Blue Jays best you.
-
Ooops, wrong again. Or right the first time. The Yankees-Giants game is at 1:05 EDT. I was mistaking central time, which I’m on, for eastern. Mea culpa.
-
Sorry, I have the time wrong for today. You must post your lineups by 12:05 PM EDT. That’s when the Yankees-Giants game is starting.
-
Oh I see. That's very helpful. Thank you!
-
I recommend you use the next 7 days setting on the pull down for choices beneath the position players or pitchers title on the lineups page. It is the last setting on the pull down. I found it very helpful last year. If you have any questions, please ask.
-
This is a reminder that this is a weekly league. Which means that you must post your lineups before the first game of every week. Because this is a shortened week, you must post your lineups before 1:05 EDT March 30. The "week" will only last until Sunday April 2. On Monday, April 3, you will have to post your lineups for the week of April 3 - April 9 before 2:10 EDT Monday, April 3. Once the first game of the week has started, you can not change your lineup that week.
-
Thank you all for the kind words.
-
Great job commish! Thanks for all your hard work.

Thanks again to Quick for resurrecting the league and organizing/importing the draft. Can't wait for the season to get underway. Good luck everyone

Thank you Commish
-
Everything should be fixed now. My thanks, as always, to Niv Shah.
-
Good catch Werth. The wrong players were imported. I will fix that and stop the auction for Endy Rodriguez. Please check your rosters to make sure other mistakes didn't happen. I'm too trusting.
-
Thanks, Quick! Looks like the two current player auctions didn't import to ottoneu, as I see them both as drafted on couchmanagers: $7 Endy Rodriguez C PIT Bacardi Bats // $3 Daniel Espino SP CLE RocketScience
-
Great, thanks Quick. Good luck with the season, everybody. I look forward to talking trades.
-
El Paso, I solved the problem. Would you believe there are two Zac(h) Veens? I removed the one that plays in the Minnesota system. Your team is good-to-go now.
