Woah there! I made my comment to poke fun at myself and how I mismanaged my roster this year. Did not want to start a flame war. Let's not make this personal. This is meant to be a fun activity. Also, the salary and bidding functions are basic Ottoneu, and cornering the free agent market is a strategy that I've employed myself in years past. It sucks, but it is what it is.

Guidelines don’t call for telling an owner his team can compete on day one so they can try to steal players. There is league etique and you failed
-
We all deal with the leagues guidelines. Play within them and you will prosper.
-
This is the guy that told me My team wasn’t going to be competitive on day 1 and I should trade him Witt and my rookies for cheap. You Started off on a bad foot. He’s telling me I was not competing so give me WItt. For a guy who played this game you are in 11th place.
-
It’s not a problem. The problem is you don’t know how to manage your team within the league parameters.
-
Sorry if a tea, bids 10 and 2nd team bids 6 team that wins at 10 should pay 10. This is a huge problem. Team drops player at 10 should be 10 not 5. This is very bad for the league. We have 1 team that is playing this game and ruining the league.
-
Yeah, I don't see how the waiver system is a problem. If you're not willing to pay what you bid, why are you bidding it? And if you are willing to pay it, why are you complaining about paying it?
-
The penalties and bid system are just standard Ottoneu things. What’s the problem with the waiver system and how is it ruining the league?
-
Lets increase the cap penalty to full salary and also if you bid $10 then you pay $10. This is to prevent a team from playing the system and frankly this "system" is ruining this league. The owner who is doing this may not play this game again if we change the rules to make their player dumping more difficult.
-
Word of advice to anyone who doesn't already know. Leave yourself some salary flexibility. It's hard to field a complete roster when your team gets the IL bug, and then you can't win a bid...
-
what happened to yesterdays stats? Ottoneau #bebetter
-
1500
-
What’s the yearly innings limit for Pitchers?
-
Julio got off to a bad start and I'm actually semi competitive, so we'll see how much I cry about trading him away when he shows why he's the ROY favorite.
-
Bad day to not be around the computer with Heaney going IL just before his auction closed. Oh well.
-
Not sure what you are looking at, it is showing Gallen earned 21 points today

What’s with OTTONEAU? Gallen pitched today and gets no points?
-
I am paying my pitchers $116 total. They have been straight up fire so far. My position players, who take up the rest of my money, have been poop. Baseball!
-
Don't worry at some point I'll get bored and you'll stop having to compete with me.
-
I'm beginning to think I'm not going to enjoy We'll Probably having excessive cap space this season...
-
I, for one, welcome our new insect overlords.
-
Praise be to our new fearless leader, WOBA.
-
Kyle you need to use your power squash any decent and crush anyone who opposes you. So I don’t think I would be a good commish.
-
If anything I think that would probably be helpful.
-
I’m up for the commish job if no one else wants it. I’m on PST, so hopefully that time difference won’t ever be an issue.
-
I would even add to that that I would prefer the new commissioner take the spot of "real commish" and I continue to be the backup. I won't let the league run into the ground, but my takes on how to use my power are not popular so I'd rather have someone able to overrule me. If not, I'll just have to try to be more conservative about it.
-
To be honest, I've timed this terribly. There's not a ton that needs doing in-season. Most of the coordinating generally happens in the offseason - finding new managers, setting draft dates, orchestrating cuts, etc. In-season there's just the occasional "I accidentally cut the wrong person can you add him back?" types of things.
-
Guys, I think it's probably time I step down as commissioner. I plan to still be active and set lineups, but because of some work and life changes, I have nowhere near the time I used to, and it's clear that there are issues that will need more immediate attention than I'm capable of providing. KMDS already has commish privileges, but it can never hurt to have two people. Anybody want to take the plunge?
-
I was prepared to compete for these current auctions anyway so as far as I'm concerned you can bid whenever you want.
-
Are we good to compete for bids after the current auctions are up (anything ending after Wed at 5pm) or do the teams that missed need more time?
-
You know, after thinking about it if you could rescind those cuts that would be cool. I would not cut them all at once if I knew I didn’t have three free round so I was more aggressive on them. Sorry for the trouble. Thanks
-
It’s OK. I was going to cut them anyway. It’s only 11$ hit
-
I don't know why it told you that, but nobody is supposed to have penalty free cuts after the draft. I removed the penalty free cuts days ago for that reason. Since it specifically told you something untrue, I guess I could undo the cuts if you wanted.
-
It said I was to get 1 round of penalty free cuts but when I cut players I received an 11$ penalty.
-
As stated in the draft chat, I (and I think the others who were in the draft) am staying out of the post-draft auctions. For me, that's with the one exception of my mascot.
-
Hey Barves way. This is a message to send out an email. Coming to the draft?
-
I'll probably be in and out for the first hour depending on when the kids go down, but I'll try to be as attentive as I can.
-
Well I've got to work tomorrow so might try and check in to the draft but not sure how active I'll be in it
-
Trades tend to happen when good players can't be otherwise acquired, but there's also time to negotiate. In other words, halfway through the season and right after the season.
-
*few
-
I was having a little fun. I look forward to a competitive league and people being active. Are we allowed to trade now and why are there so trades?
-
Just so we're covered if anyone didn't understand the rules (things have been a bit disordered) I've given everyone another round of penalty free cuts. I'll rescind it after the draft begins.
-
I uh... wasn't checking stuff much before a week ago. *embarrassed commissioner face*
-
Glad to be here. anyone want to trade send some offers
-
No disrespect was intended. We generally are a quiet bunch, and if you notice, only 6 or 7 of us have actually posted. Trying to get new folks for the teams has generated more chatter than usual. We are happy to have both of you, and you both saved us from having empty teams. :) I would just scratch it up to more folks being active the weekend of the draft and being around to say welcome.
-
Why is it the new new guy got more welcomes than me considering I signed up immediately in order
-
Welcome! Full league feels good, looking forward to the draft this Sunday!
-
Woo! Thanks for filling the final spot KMDS and welcome Miami!
-
Welcome Miami! Good to have you.
-
Thank you. I will make my cuts today
