Morning all. If you are looking for updates on when loans disappear, prize money is available, etc., follow this link: https://community.ottoneu.com/t/end-of-the-2024-baseball-season-megathread/14609. It looks like things are a little behind schedule but salary increases should take effect and loans and cap penalties should disappear soon. Arbitration is coming up in less than a week!
-
Afternoon all. Because of the Braves/Mets doubleheader Monday the Ottoneu season has been extended by a day. If you have any last minute auctions you want to start, please do so before 11:59 p.m. Eastern time and be prepared to get your roster legal by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Monday.
-
Congrats on the medal finishers and everyone else on another fun season! Love playing in this league and gotta admit I’m already ready for next year!
-
Thanks! I’m sure glad I wasn’t facing Ohtani last week. (Fun fact: the Sultans acquired Yordan AND Judge by including Vidal Brujan in separate deals.) Kudos to Kafka for knocking off Hermes’ hit machine.
-
Congrats to Pat G. on winning his first championship since 2019 and Brian K for his second place finish. I appreciate everyone being engaged and setting lineups throughout a long season. While our season is done you still have until Sunday to add/drop players heading into the off-season. Note: Rosters will have to be legal (not including 60 day IL players), so you don't have to be at 40/40 but you can't be at 43/40. Arbitration begins in mid-October!
-
Mr. Taco had a rough season with injuries and poor play by overpaid regulars. Just like the real game. Honor was upheld though in week 21 vs the Flip Flops. :) Good luck to all the playoff teams and see you again when it’s time to allocate!
-
**FIRE-SALE ALERT**: Looks like Say It Ain’t So, Sho (né Moncadanomenon) will fall just short of its first playoff berth — but that doesn’t mean we won’t have a postseason impact. Send me your best and final trade offers before the 8/31 deadline! Everyone’s on the table.
-
As if I didn’t have enough reasons to hate the White Sox, they send Garrett Crochet out for 4 pitches under skies of Mordor. Shame on me for not benching him.
-
The confusion/whiplash of seeing my team somehow at -17 pts on the day despite Chourio hitting two HRs.
The culprit: Charlie Morton putting up -50 (!!!) in two innings against Chourio and team.
-
No discount to be had! I could’ve just claimed him.
-
Wow — eight teams in on that Machado auction. Congrats, Docile!
-
Something I once tracked in our league history documents but stopped because it was too tedious and asked Niv to make a part of Ottoneu is now a part of Ottoneu. Behold: Historical win-loss records by opponent: https://community.ottoneu.com/t/w-l-record-stats-vs-individual-opponents/14423/10?u=nivshah
-
Get excited folks, average points against has been added to the standings page: https://community.ottoneu.com/t/points-against-column-h2h/3726/6?u=nivshah
-
Wow. 4 Homer's. Doh
-
If it isn’t. It should be.
-
Taj Bradley’s -52-point (!) outing today has to be some kind of league record, right?
-
Friendly reminder: Draft starts in 10 minutes!
-
Two quick notes ahead of the draft. First, draft time has been bumped back to 9:30 p.m. eastern/8:30 p.m. central. Second, there have been intermittent draft room issues reported specifically on Chrome browsers. More info is here: https://community.ottoneu.com/t/baseball-draft-room-giving-error-communicating-with-server-message/14074. If you use Chrome it may not be a bad idea to have another browser available just in case.
-
Draft date is set for Wednesday, Feb. 21, at 9pm eastern.
-
Slight change of plans. New draft date is tentatively Wednesday, Feb. 21. Please let me know if that date does not work for anyone who has not filled out the Doodle poll. Thanks!
-
Morning all. As of this moment, Monday, Feb. 19, is the frontrunner for the draft. If anyone cannot make that work please let me know, otherwise I will lock it in.
-
If anyone is in need of an OF I'd be willing to part with Judge for the right offer. Would be looking for top-ish tier and middle-ish tier SPs in return.
-
Whoa whoa whoa. I made that post to help me. :D you did sell it more eloquently than me, though. Looking forward to the draft!
-
If anyone wants a $14 Charlie Morton or a $13 Chris Bassitt, my asking price is one sub $10 player worth keeping, preferably an OF. Trade needs to go through by midnight EST tonight. The Ottoneu surplus auction calculator has Morton at $21 and Bassitt $17, and both are top 55 SPs in Eno Sarris’ ranks published today. Arthur alluded yesterday to the potential dearth of SP talent in the upcoming auction — Fried and Andrew Abbott currently are the only free agents that are more than 80% owned.
-
I don't think I'm going to keep Luis Castillo myself, but if anyone wants to try and lock him in by trading me something I can keep, I am considering trading him for best offer. Otherwise, he can go to auction and be the SP everyone bids up as the best available(ish)? Just thought I'd throw it out there!
-
Hey all. I had to put two of my teams (one has already been taken) in other leagues up for adoption because apparently 6 Ottoneu leagues is two too many for me. If anyone is looking to add a team it's in pretty good shape. Hackensack Bulls: https://ottoneu.fangraphs.com/480/team?team=3446.
-
Hi everybody. Just a quick reminder that you have until 11:59 p.m. eastern time on Jan. 31 to cut players ahead of the keeper deadline. That is also the deadline to renew your team. Please note that Ottoneu has changed from PayPal to Paydala. You can find more about the changeover here: https://community.ottoneu.com/t/payment-updates/13220/1
-
Reminder: The arbitration deadline is Tuesday, Nov. 14. We still have four teams who need to complete arb and two others who have some leftover money to allocate.
-
Tools update: Historical team production has been added to the tools page. More info here: https://community.ottoneu.com/t/historical-team-production-tab/5552/4. Fun to look back and see that Pat G. won the league in 2019 with a bullpen that included John Brebbia and Aaron Bummer (and other guys who are better than them but less fun to focus on).
-
Hey everybody. Just a reminder that you have less than two weeks to complete arbitration, which ends at 11:59 pm eastern on Nov. 14.
-
Welcome, Brian to the league! Best wishes on your first (off) season with us!
-
Hi everyone. Please welcome a new manager to the league: Brian Bartasius. Brian is taking over Emerald City Gems. Please give him a warm welcome. After all, arbitration is coming.
-
Aw man. That's too bad. He was always a really active owner and was fun to mix it up with trading my prospects back and forth with him. :)
-
Afternoon all. Just a quick note that Brock has informed me that he won't be returning next season. I am actively searching for a replacement. If you know of someone who may be interested please let me know.
-
Welcome to the offseason, everyone! You'll start noticing some updates over the next week or so. Today, player positions update for 2024 and by this time next week cap penalties and loans will be removed and salary increases will be applied. More info here: https://community.ottoneu.com/t/end-of-the-2023-baseball-season-megathread/13347. Arbitration begins Oct. 15.
-
Thanks, Arthur! On that note, friendly reminder that the deadline to nominate players for auction is 11:59 p.m. eastern tonight. If you do win any late auctions Sunday evening be prepared to make cuts to get legal. 60 IL players are alright but beyond that everyone will need legal rosters heading into the offseason.
-
Awesome work on that every year SS. Thanks for rocking it as commish!
-
Afternoon all. The MDS league history document has been updated to reflect the results of the 2023 season. You can find this season's results and past seasons here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1PLmJx3g1aGAPjrPrhWd6zBGQpNLck19NKyvfqcVULm8/edit?usp=sharing
-
Congrats on taking home another title Arthur, and to Brian and John R. for finishing second and third. And thanks to all the managers for making this a consistently competitive (and fun) league!
-
Well done Arthur! Congrats on the championsip! 3 playoff runs for me and you've knocked me out every damn time. Next time... Also, well done everyone for making this a competitive, fun league. Cheers!

Congrats, Arthurians! Can’t believe this league is already headed into Year 6; to many more!

Congrats Arthur on the win and a great season!

Congrats, Arthurians! Well done.

Playoff Bound Teams:
I’m taking last minute offers on Mookie Betts, Justin Verlander and Chris Sale. Maybe others, I’m open to talk trade. Keeper offers only. Looking for long term value to move competitive pieces….

Love the Rick Hahn name change! Congrats!!

Quinn Priester. Emerald Rage Cut.

You may notice a new look to team pages, where second and third place finishes are now noted. Instead of just showing a trophy for first place finishes, a flag denotes a first place finish and a medal is shown for second or third. This came about through a wishlist post in the forums: https://community.ottoneu.com/t/silver-bronze-trophies-on-team-page/6210/9
-
Can the Cardinals and management of the team be any worse? So you send down the Uber-prospect Walker when he hits a mini-slump after a 12 game hit streak to start the season? Refer to the Yankees with Volpe….
They let him work it out and he has. And he was in a slump much worse than Walker. Then Marmol gets into an Alpha-Male pissing match with O’Neill and continues to bench him? Finally, we have pitching Prospects that could come up now and help, but don’t. Marmol needs to be fired!!!
