I know of two teams so far that will need replacement owners for next season (Rename it Later, Bartolo’s Colon). Is everyone else in for next season or will there be other teams looking for replacement owners?
-
It's kind of a shame to see my $278 hollowed-out team having a great second half. Not because I cut players I actually want now - none of them recovered their seasons. Just because it makes me wonder what might have been if it weren't for historic flops from almost all my expensive players.

Luis Castillo is also available for the right price, although I don't consider him a "rental" given his salary.
-
Judge is supposed to be activated today I guess. He's available for trade if one of you leaders is interested. I don't care about money for this season, so I'll definitely offset his salary for the right return.
-
It can sure be a balancing act, hard to know when someone is going to finally come out of a slump or if you have two players for 1 spot and they are both hot. Finding the right combo of who to have in the Util slot has bit me more than once.
-
Thanks TNTS! I didn't know I could find it there. Looks like I'm on the higher side of points left on the bench, but not the top. Unsurprisingly, the folks with the larger benches have more points there. I'll have to find a way to map my roster and figure out where I'm making bad decisions when compared to who I actually started.
-
I believe that is a visible stat from the Lineups page, you can select the drop down at the top of that page and pick other teams. My position players bench is at 1334
-
Half way through the year, and I think I still have an issue figuring out the correct players to play each day. Been my issue each year. Curious how many points everyone else has on their bench, and it's not a visible stat? I'm currently at 1898 points from my bench.
-
I have almost 65 more IP banked than you, so on a rate basis you’re still tracking to pass me back by the end of the season. We’ll see how things go the rest of the way with player health and late season playing time shenanigans, shaping up to be a close race.
-
Congrats to WOBA for catching and zooming past me right before the ASB. I hope to come back during the second half!
-
yikes...the hurt is real.
-
-49.67 points from my pitching staff. HRs are deadly.
-
My starters ended up mostly not doing that great, but I still lost a hundred points because of that, which is enough to take me from "close to making it" to "almost no chance". And of course, they're going to largely stack up the next time through the rotation, making it even worse.
-
yes, it's one of the challenges of the format. The very first season of Ottoneu H2H only had this same 2 starts per day option. Now a league can choose 8-9-10 ST/Wk, which plays much better for H2H weekly matchups. Having the 2 ST/day in OPL keeps the rotering balance between Offense/Pitching overall, yet can be extremely aggravating!
-
The OPL format suddenly seems sort of unfair. I have 9 MLB starting pitchers on the roster. They somehow all lined up to pitch in two days (tomorrow and Wednesday). That means out of 9, I only get points for 4 no matter what. And it's totally random. There is no way to prevent that from happening.
-
gratz! one of my OPL teams was 167, just made it with points from the late game last night. the other 3 advanced as well so I still have 4 teams in.
-
Survive and advance!
-
Got into round 2 of OPL by like 35 points, lol. Nailed it!
-
When you anchor your rotation with DeGrom, Verlander, Rodon, and Severino thinking you have good pitching depth…..what a train wreck this season has been.
-
Thanks
-
Ottoneu Prestige League. It's a site-wide competition based on SABR points where you only get a roster update every month and they eliminate 70 teams a month until the playoffs in July.
-
What is the OPL?
-
OPL roster only updates at the end of the month. I have already made a bunch of moves, but I will likely be eliminated before they take effect in the OPL.
-
Just make that next cut man! I don't have a whole lot of faith in Baez, but like Altuve, Machado, Correa, and Springer have to bounce back (right?!)...make that cut and them turning it around will be massive. Good luck!
-
Machado, Drury, Baez, Correa, and Springer are all bottom 20 among qualifiers in offense, and all on my OPL roster. Considering those players' track records, that is so far beyond statistically unlikely that a curse seems like a reasonable explanation.
-
Altuve, Machado, Correa, and Springer have all essentially given me nothing. Injuries and non-usage of my players abounds. I cursed my team by entering the OPL.
-
Loving what Matt Brash is doing. Not so much the role the Mariners are using him in
-
Hoping my pitching staff eventually comes off the IL so I can attempt a comeback. Amazing how quickly you fall off pace without enough active SP.
-
I'm enjoying how competitive this league is this year. I took a look back, and at this time last year the gaps were much bigger, and the top three teams at the time were the eventual top three teams for the year. This year, you can't count out most of us from winning it all.

162 Judge homers, calling it now. LOL
-
lol the immediate Judge homer
-
Welcome Marg! Good to have you, and good to have some new energy. Here's to a good season!
-
Greetz again all, glad this worked out tho always sad to see someone lose time for fantasy baseball. Best wishes to DUF. I'm Astraea, have been playing Ottoneu for 5 yrs now and love it. I have a ton of teams and the emoji team "logo's" help me keep track of them. The name is a deep Star Wars ref and is a space battleship tactical maneuver. I like this kid Sabol in SD, so the name emergered. Let's play Ball!
-
Welcome in, officially, Astrea!
-
Yeah, y'all do what you need to do and let me know if I need to do anything. I will miss this thing! Hopefully I can wrestle work back under control and come back someday. Y'all keep this thing going strong!
-
They already reached out to me via DM as well, so with DUFs own blessing I’d say let’s move forward with the replacement. I’m sad to see you go DUF, and I really appreciate you setting this league up.
-
He seemed like a player that would participate regularly. Did well in the draft
-
Oh perfect!
-
He mentioned it right before he left the draft. Said to contact him if we needed someone to take over. Wouldn't hurt to reach out to him if DUF wants to let it go?
-
Well, he has to want to take it, right? Did he agree to do so?
-
As far as I can tell, no action needs to be taken for the replacement to take over the team unless he/she wants DUF to be removed. But I approve of the replacement.
-
Hey guys, sorry. I've been so insanely busy with work lately which makes me sad to not have time for things like this. If you want to try and find a replacement, feel free. I will try to manage up until then as best I can. Team is already paid for for the year. Again, my apologies.
-
No concerns with me. He had mentioned a while back his ability to manage the team was slipping, so seems like it finally fully slipped.
-
Fine by me, if he wants to take it on.
-
I haven’t been able to reach DUF, how’s the league feeling about letting the draft proxy take over?
-
I've been busy at work and missed the cut deadline anyway. Not much of a point attending the draft. Will be open to trades after the draft
-
@TheBarvesWay, @We'llProbablyHaveCapSpace, and @ProbablyGoingToFinishLast, we're past draft start time. Where are you?
-
At the top of the screen. Look to a bit below and to the right of where it says "Talking Chop 1.0"
-
Where is it we go for the draft. I don’t see it
-
Actually I wasn’t suggesting a cut anymore just the ability to move them to the DL. It’s cool. Let’s just keep the way we have it.
