Yeah but how’s that championship going? Lol. Congrats on an awesome run buddy. I’m happy to get 2nd in a league with such a formidable opponent in the midst.
-
Third place is coming down to the wire between Elgin and Shrine, and both have a handful of Yankees and Sox players in their lineups. Should be fun to watch this one over the next few hours!
-
Morning all. I am back in civilization and have resumed my duties as commissioner and stuff.
-
Afternoon all. In the interest of full disclosure, I wanted to give you a heads up that I am adding a co-manager to manage my lineups for a few days while I am on a backpacking trip in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. In the off-chance I am eaten by a bear, the team that finishes sixth in overall points will take over as commissioner.

Blake Snell getting cut in late August/early September is a nice little tradition we’ve got going. (Three years in a row!)
-
Haha, strategy for the future my friend. No harm intended! There’s always opportunity for off-season trading!

Paying $5 to block someone from getting a bad team’s closer when he’s in a fight for the final playoff spot that will come down to total points. Ruthless, Brock!!!
-
Actually happy that four teams made offers for Darvish and all were very lowball. Hey, he’s not upside down price wise and hey! He would win a team a title.
It won’t be me, but I will be happy to trot him out again in 2023. So, Good luck!

Fielding offers for Vlad Jr. to build for next year! Let the offer wars begin!!!

Chanclas seem to flip flop a lot with their Preller mindset.
-
Breaking - rumors inside The Flying Chanclas clubhouse is that trust in AJ Preller has returned. Team name to remain the same… for now
-
At least you don’t own half the Royals team. Same deal.
-
Gotta love that St. Louis' two best players are dipshits who won't get vaccinated and have to sit every time they're in Canada.
-
Happy ASB, everyone! Just a reminder, this matchup runs through July 31 which means you'll have to stretch your 9 SP starts across those 11 days.
-
I’m willing to trade a 1B power bat/bats. I have too many to play on a regular basis. I need SP. Send offers….

Unrelated to the Commish hate: whoever started the auction for Bellinger… my mother thanks you, my father thanks you, my sister thanks you and I thank you. So, thank you.

All I’m hearing is a 10-0 commish looking down at the rest of us battling for the last playoff spot and showcasing how good his team is. Seems like we have a clear villain for the remainder of the season! Who’s gonna bring him down!
-
What? Screw your pseudo science and data.

For the fun of it, I compiled an All Star Team based off of players production when they are in the lineup. Here's the breakdown by team:
They're Still Shitty - 4
Springfield Sultans - 4
Arthurian Legends - 3
Docile Irish - 2
Elgin Beavers - 2
The Flying Chanclas - 2
Emerald City Gems - 1
Enrico Pallazo - 1

Congrats everyone. You've made it halfway through our season and most of you don't look any worse for wear. Something fun to watch for the second half: How the playoff race is shaping up with four teams currently vying for the final spot and soooo much baseball to be played.

Send trade offers for Nelson Cruz. He’s on the block.

Week 1 is upon us! Just a quick note, this first matchup runs April 7 -17 and our 9 GS cap for pitchers does NOT reset on Monday. Choose your starters wisely - or don't. Whatever floats your boat.
-
Quick reminder: Draft is at 9 pm eastern which is in [checks watch] six minutes. See you all in the draft room shortly!
-
Similarly, I'm looking to move Jose Ramirez right after the draft. Need to get the salary off my books so will trade him for cheap
-
I’m looking to trade Tatis Jr. Taking offers to finalize one and post it after the draft. If interested, send me a text or message.

So now that we will officially baseball this season it's time to pick a draft date. I updated the Doodle poll to include dates in April and upcoming weekends. Please check all dates you are available. I'd like to pin down a date soon. Thanks! https://doodle.com/poll/xzegdu7mepwc3umx?utm_source=poll&utm_medium=link
-
Admittedly I was a little too optimistic when I sent that last message. I am okay holding off until after the CBA. It may not make sense to draft just for the sake of drafting.
-
My preference would be to schedule our auction after a CBA is in place. Deadlines make deals, and it seems TV contracts requiring rebates after 25 canceled games is the next logical pressure point for MLB owners. I think Opening Day will be in May or June. That said, I’m available March 9.

3/9 works for me.

It is looking like Wednesday, March 9 is the frontrunner for the draft. Still waiting on a few other folks to chime in though, so please let me know if that date works.
-
Now that we are through the keeper deadline, it is time to start thinking about the draft. I know it's a little weird to be talking about a draft during the lockout, but with everyone's busy schedules it's important to plan ahead. I have created a Doodle poll with dates beginning Feb. 28. Please mark ALL times that you are available: https://doodle.com/poll/xzegdu7mepwc3umx?utm_source=poll&utm_medium=link

If anyone is looking to pick up another team there are 3 openings in another league I'm in. PROFANE is in it too. Teams available are: Turd Burglars, Weighted Wookies & Not the bot. Link: https://ottoneu.fangraphs.com/1174/home

FYI: The keeper deadline has been moved back due to the MLB lockout. It is now Feb. 15 at 11:59 p.m. eastern time.

Morning all. Sharing a post in the Ottoneu Community re: scenarios for a lengthy lockout or shortened season and how it may impact the upcoming keeper deadline. You can read the latest here: https://community.ottoneu.com/t/keeper-deadline-adjust-if-lockout-occurs/10611/3

Congrats everyone for completing another round of arbitration. For the third season in a row we had 100% participation, so thanks again for taking the time to make keeper decisions harder for your opponents.
Looking at the big board, here are the teams who received the most arb:
1. Springfield Sultans $31
2. Arthurian Legends $29
3. THE PROFANE UNDERTONES $28
And players who received the most arb:

2. Ohtani $15

For those who care (and I may be the only one), record books have been updated across Ottoneu to reflect the wonky 2020 season and ridiculously low pitching records. Sorry Paul, the records you inherited from Rick's team because he didn't set his lineups will not stand the test of time. https://ottoneu.fangraphs.com/1016/recordbook
-
The offline league history document has been updated to reflect the 2021 season. A few changes this time around: I removed the career W-L sheet because it was cumbersome to update, bolded the names of new owners to make them easier to spot and added a proposed rules recap to the 2021 sheet. The document can be found here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1PLmJx3g1aGAPjrPrhWd6zBGQpNLck19NKyvfqcVULm8/edit?usp=sharing
-
Just a reminder that you have until Nov. 14 at 11:59 p.m. eastern to submit arbitration. This is an important part of the off-season and plays into the overall economics of Ottoneu.
-
Alright, everyone, arbitration is upon us! You have between now and Nov. 14 at 12:59 p.m. eastern time to add salary to players on opposing teams. If you have any questions please don't hesitate to reach out or feel free to post to the message board. Thanks!

LOL!

Couldn’t you just add in the word, “don’t” ??!!

In Preller We Trust to rebrand
(AP) – GM Matt Bickel announced in a press conference earlier this morning that it is time for a rebrand. While during the original inception of the team, ownership had unilateral faith and respect for famed Rockstar GM AJ Preller, however the time has come to remove his namesake from the team name as ownership is no longer a big Preller fan.
When reached for comment about the change, AJ Preller simply stated “Huh?”
Rebrand to

Well that was a fun celebration. When can we draft again and get ready for next year. :D

Sultans Fire Pitching Coach
(AP) - The Springfield Sultans today announced the firing of pitching coach Rick Vaughn after the team finished fourth highest for batters hit by pitches during the 2021 season.
"We thought hiring Rick Vaughn would bring an edge to our pitching staff," said Sultans GM Ryan Hermes. "Instead, he was teaching our pitchers to throw oddly named pitches that couldn't find the plate."

Congrats on making it to the off-season, everyone. Take a week or two to see how much your children have grown or reconnect with spouses or partners. Arbitration begins Oct. 15!

Thanks all! Agree on this league being awesome to play in. Pretty active group which makes for some competitive matchups top to bottom each week. Looking forward to figuring out how to build a repeat team. :)
