Hello Commissioners! Please promote Jesus Sanchez to my MLB Roster. Thanks!
-
Patience is obviously not my strong suit but I would love to talk pitchers!
-
I did the thing where I felt like my pitching was deep, then ross stripling went -30
-
Well, I just assumed my pitching was good and deep, so I was shopping Giolito a bit. Then, I did a funny thing and looked at the actual numbers, 4.10 p/i ain't going to cut it :) Giolito will be a Tater for a bit longer. . .

Drew just chastized me for not being patient.
-
This is a great, ultra competitive league. We are all holding out hope . . .

No one wants to trade pitchers?
-
I went a bit overboard on auctions and would love to consolidate a few guys into a usable starter. Hit me up if you have ideas
-
Two for the Price of One acquires MiLB players JJ Bleday and Edward Cabrera from Put it in the Book. Francisco Alvarez goes back to Book and I'll cut Eric Pardinho.
-
Thanks guys. Seems fair to me.
-
If you miss both floors, your first two picks will be moved to the end of those rounds. The reason that we chose 80% is that it is a level that all teams hit last season, which we believe shows that it’s easily attainable even if teams sell. We believe that this will keep the league active and competitive for years to come. As always send questions if you have them.
-
Hey all! Just wanted to bring up tanking before we get too far into the season. Since there are potential benefits to not scoring points by way of MiLB draft order, we have decided to institute playing time floors. If a team does not hit 80% of game cap and/or IP limit the team’s draft slot(s) will be affected. If you miss one or either game or IP floor, your second pick in MiLB draft will be moved to the end of that round...

Please cut Nick Gordon from my Milb roster to make room for Kelenic
-
Jeff should have never left you in charge!
-
Yeah, my apologies. We had updated the spreadsheet but not the restricted players list, so there was some confusion/mix-ups. Both lists/sheets should now be completely up-to-date, so if you see any discrepancies, please let me know. Thanks all! - Drew
-
I am a Royals guy, so I would do that trade every time :)

Okay, just wanted to be sure. I think maybe somebody told me that they had interest in Waters from my MILB roster. Just want to be 100% certain I am on the up and up here. Thanks!

Correct u traded him to me for Lynch in the offseason. Feb 22nd was the date on msg board posting. Its in our one on one chat archives too
-
I thought I had Waters? Or did I trade him for Lynch? Or include him a deal this season? Sorry, but I think I have been offering him in trades :) Just need clarification.

Big Papi has acquired 10MiLB Drew Waters in a trade. To accommodate this addition, he has dropped Jonathan India. India is now a free agent.
-
I think it was Fiers last year too. I offered anyone in the league free cap space if they claimed him just to cut him again. One cut didn't feel like enough justice was done. The trauma required genuine closure.
-
Man that was a brutal outing. Channeling Craig stammen
-
You and everyone else who’s a dbacks fan.
-
For the rest of my life people with the last name Bumgarner are going to be confused as to why I seem like an irrational asshole towards them....
-
Yeah, he's my man, loved him in Detroit but now I think he's better surrounded with offense so hope he continues

Papi you were right about castellanos
-
Yeah good job commishes. Also great job by owners staying active and making progressive moves even after their team is out of contention. We had the 'best' worst teams last year, and you can see the turnover in the standings this year as a result.
-
Really good job you guys, thanks

Very cool! Commissioners must be really good. - Drew and Jeff’s Burner Account
Seriously though we love the engagement and are really happy that we’re looking like a league that will be fun and competitive for a long time.
-
Everyone will be happy to know we're #8 on Justin Vibber's most recent power rankings of FG Pts leagues. Love having such an engaged/competitive league! https://pointsabove.com/2020/08/07/ottoneu-power-rankings-july-2020/
-
Fyi I forgot my minor league guys and they are being called up bielak and Monte Harrison
-
I need an OF. Gore, Machado, Goldy and Javier on the table.
-
Please trade me a first basemen
-
If you need starting pitching I need Outfielders. Talk to me.
-
Things just got a little hairy there trying to make cuts. Cut players to get to $400 but then add an extra roster spot that I need a $1 that I didn't have, so had to go back to the chopping block. Oh well, I am sure I didn't need that depth in a COVID season :)
-
Woo first trade of 2020 season!
-
I can't imagine it taking longer than 3 hours, unless we get 12 hours to nominate a player like in the MILB draft portion :) Looking forward to my first draft with you all tonight. Good luck everyone and I hope you are all staying healthy.
-
My suggestion would be three hours which is also my guess on how long it takes
-
Dawn?
-
Do we have a time limit for tonight's draft before we decide to split it into 2 drafts? (Speaking as a Eastern time zone guy)
-
Looking forward to it!
-
Happy draft day everyone! Make sure you know when the draft is starting (8pm ET but know your time zone) so that we can get started on time. This will help us finish earlier so the east coasters aren’t up crazy late. Looking forward to it!
-
Players that opt out will be treated the same as someone on 60 day IL - not count for a roster spot but salary will count against salary cap. Here is a good FAQ about this season: https://community.ottoneu.com/t/covid-19-changes-for-the-2020-mlb-season/7611
-
How are we going to handle players who opt out for the season?
-
No apology necessary. As you can see we are all figuring this format out. Yes, you're correct. In the auction room, players that are on a 10 MiLB roster will be shaded red (if on 40 man roster, will say team name) so you'll know that you cannot draft them. We all will have to just be accountable for not auctioning a 2020 draftee. We can stop the draft and make changes to rosters, but it adds time to the draft so hopefully we don't have to. Thanks for helping clear up this situation.
-
Sorry, new to this league and MILB thing. I can auction any minor leaguer not on the 40 man or 10 MILB roster of another fantasy team, correct? I just have to leave players that were drafted this year alone, correct?
-
No; my understanding is that option #4 won out. That is, the 2020 MLB draftees will be treated as follows: "4) They should not be eligible for the 40-man roster auction. We wait for MiLB draft until after the 2020 season and base order on final standings (no draftee eligible to be auctioned before then unless called up to MLB)."
-
Sorry for not clarifying. The result of the poll was that no new draftees are eligible for the auction this weekend. The only way that they are eligible for auction during this season is if they get call up to the MLB. Otherwise, we will have a MiLB draft after the entire season to draft those players onto 10-MiLB rosters. That draft order will be based on final season standings.
-
So no MILB draft means the new draft class is eligible for auction on Sunday?
-
Lol some of the tork auctions have been silly
