Yeah, no luxury tax spenders yet, but I’m willing to be one if anyone wants to offload a bloated contract on me
-
Looks like everyone is sticking to the early season hard cap.
-
I've completely forgotten to watch for cap penalties. I assume we haven't had any yet this year?
-
Yeah, its a fun trade for me for sure. Lets hope Fried's injury isnt THAT bad and he is all set for 2024. I'm just happy to have more guys that I am watching everyday.
-
Kev gets 2 young Barves for his rebuild, Hook gets an ace and still sneaks in under the luxury tax threshold. Sometimes these trades make themselves
-
That was a fun trade
-
The Matt Mervis era is upon us
-
I should probably have more than 12 total pitchers on my roster. I'm ripe for the atypical (at least for me) offense for pitching move. JD Martinez is almost 6ppg and can be had reasonably
-
Mason Miller just hit 102 mph on radar gun and no hits through through 3 !
-
(I knew nothing about him 10 minutes ago. I just saw an open wager and had to do my due diligence)
-
Kid pitches less than 100 IP for Gardner Webb in the Big South, then pitches 28 Innings total in the minors, and is now in the Show. Wiiiild. A’s are playing a different game than everyone else right now, and not in a good Tampa/moneyball kind of way
-
Next years entry fee for anyone willing to take the over on 50 IP
-
Mason Miller is a premium arm.wow
-
I lost 4 middle infielders in the first 2 weeks of the season that composed 37% of my teams total salary and Fred is giving me a hard time for outbidding him on a FA SS.
-
I have no cap penalties associated with that recent trade
-
Seven hitters have a Brl/PA above 10% and a contact rate over 80%. Good ole Salvador Perez is one of them. I’ll take the first decent SS I get offered for him.
-
Sweet, just saw Seager left the game with a hammy last night. My middle situation is getting absurd. Send SS offers
-
Hey, guys, I lost THREE starting 2bs to injury, so I’m definitely sitting here needing to deal one of them cheaply for something presently helpful. Not sure why a savy group of ottoneu vets like yourself can’t see to take advantage of my situation
-
That didn’t last long.
-
My turn to take that screenshot Mikey.
-
Eloy to the DL, this roster is falling apart right from the jump
-
Kopech -46
-
Since it looks like Urias is gonna join his fellow 2bs Polanco and Altuve on my DL, I’m probably in a position to make a bad trade of a good temporarily injured player for a Ss/2b/of type
-
Had to take a screen shot today; may not see one of my teams on top of the standings again for a while 🙂
-
NEVERMIND. Mixed up teams. Carry on
-
That last much bigger trade definitely doesn’t work under the rules. It doesn’t matter if Kev puts Rhys up for auction and removes the penalty afterward. The trade itself takes him over the cap which isn’t allowed. Come on guys
-
Yes, sorry, that was my fault—I looked at the wrong part of his cap statement. We found a way to work it out.
-
Henry is capped out at $425 and cannot receive a loan so that small trade was cancelled
-
Adios Rhys. I’m not sure he ever opened his locker here at Falsist Park so at least we keep the swag for the next guy. It’s annoying—he’s not Acuña, I’m not convinced his game even needs knees as long as he can still rotate his hips—but I’m sure it’s a lot more annoying to him irl. One of you rebuilders should pick him up, $17 might be a bargain if he signs a pillow contract with the Rox….
-
My squad has a high degree of variance , depends how youth does . I could finish 9th or 3rd or any which way in between
-
I overdrafted bats (which I think is honestly a better postion to be in than vice/versa), so I'll deal Meadows for his equivalent from someone's bullpen

mock-drafts-and-draft-bots
-
Don't know if anyone else has tried it, but Ottoneu now has a Mock Draft feature that allows you to draft against bots. https://community.ottoneu.com/t/mock-drafts-and-draft-bots/12818
-
Of course there’s no guarantee it’s telling us the truth. I also asked it when ottoneu league 1011 would hold its auction and it couldn’t tell me—so maybe it’s already as capable as 3 of us?
-
I asked Bing if it thought it would ever be able to manage a team by itself? “As an AI language model, I'm constantly learning and evolving. However, I don't think I'll ever be able to manage an Ottoneu fantasy baseball team by myself. My purpose is to assist you in finding information and answering your questions to the best of my ability. Let me know if you have any other questions.”
-
That's awesome research, Pat. I wonder how long until we can have AI entirely manage a team
-
Finally I asked for tips about ottoneu auctions. Some of the things it told me: don’t overpay for Cs (like 3/4 of the guys it wants me to target), don’t overpay for MIs (okay, I won’t go over $55 for Trea), don’t be afraid to nominate guys I don’t want, and let other players overpay for the first few guys nominated while I wait for bargains later (like a $20 Nick C or a $10 Myers in the FCA auction! Now I’m sure the bot is fucking with me).
-
I also asked it how much I should pay for Trea Turner in an ottoneu auction. $47. Corey Seagar? $31. Then I asked about Turner again and got $55–with some advice that it depends on my team’s needs and a reminder to be careful with my overall budget.
-
With 1 less day than I expected I asked the bing chatbot which players I should target in ottoneu. It suggested Varsho (nice! maybe it knows my team and is playing a game with me?), Chris Taylor, Grandal, and Realmuto. GPT4 may not be ready to manage a team yet.
-
I didn’t ask but, um, thanks. I might have auto-piloted to Sunday night too.
-
Both Fred and Kevin, independent of each other, told me in the last 5 minutes they just realized the auction is Sat, and not Sunday. So hey, everybody, we’re auctioning tomorrow night
-
I forgot to actively shop McKenzie. Based on arbitration, some of you guys like him more than I do.
-
Draft date is set...
-
Story cut , 29$ more to spend maybe a blessing in disguise
-
that would be good for me

How about 3/18 or 3/19?
-
I say ,we want Brent , let's get another date
-
I cannot make that weekend, but if it's OK with everyone else, so be it. I don't plan on having too much cap space anyway.

I'll brew something just for the drafts ...perhaps a Dusseldorf Alt...the ale that wants to be a lager
-
The 4th is great for me too
