Just under a week left to get that arbitration done, please distribute those dollars before the deadline. Also if you plan to play for next year it never hurts to renew league dues before the deadline for that either! Thanks everyone and I can't wait for trading to open back up.
-
Congrats to Generous Carriage for taking league by storm and Forearm for 2nd..I'll be looking to get even better next year as I build tjis team.
-
Now that I mention it you do not have to get legal for players that have been “activated” from the 60 today, as that would not have happened without the DH today. Get legal requirements only for winning claims/auctions.
-
Congrats GC(again)! Thanks for another great season everyone and just a quick reminder to make sure we’re all legal before tomorrow, that just means no red rosters 👍🏻 looking forward to running it back for 2025, please let BBB or I know if you don’t plan to return. Otherwise it’s on to arb and the MLB postseason.
-
Thanks guys! Not easy to best FT in any season, especially in this league, so it feels good to snag this one especially after it started to get a little close for comfort over the last week or so. Looking forward to running it back next year!
-
Congratulations GC.

Congratulations, Generous Carriage, on a completely dominant season! Did you have to crush it so hard in ALL of our leagues? 😆 Great work, man.

Welcome Thunder Bay, nice to have an engaged owner for this team.
-
Welcome, Leifer! Thanks for joining us.
-
Thanks! I am coming back to ottoneu after a brief break and am happy to have found this league.

Hey all! Please welcome Leifer, the new manager of Montpelier Goldfish!
-
Woaaaaaahhhhh!!! That’s some serious heat fellas! 🔥🔥🔥
-
As much as I like his game, I'd like to flip $16 Jazz Chisholm for another more OPL-friendly player tomorrow after the trade goes through. Message me with any ideas you may have regarding Jazz or otherwise.
-
Same, 1 month is good with me
-
May 16th is two weeks, but when it gets to a month I agree
-
Ottoneu is great when everyone participates regularly, and it's uniquely structured to make rebuilding almost as fun as competing. I think setting lineups regularly, even for rebuilders is essential to the health of a league.
I think a month of inactivity without notice (or response) is a pretty reasonable threshold for dismissal.
-
Alright yall, this is the second stretch of inactivity from Montpellier Goldfish I'd really prefer not to have to boot them but I haven't heard from them despite a couple reach outs since they last logged in on May 16th. I'm inclined to say that since they have paid up we should give them a little grace but at what point of inactivity does the group think finding a new manager is a priority? A month? 6 weeks? ASB? I think before the trade deadline at a minimum.
-
Things aren't looking good for my team this year. I think I've left myself too big of a deficit to get back into contention. I am looking to sell off some pieces for guys that can help me out next year. I'm not interested in adding a bunch of minor league guys but am open to the top end prospects.
-
Just a reminder yall that this league is OPL eligible if you finished 6th or better in 2023! Read more and join here: https://ottoneu.fangraphs.com/opl/
One of my favorite new additions to Ottoneu.

My view on it is that a locked roster is a pretty severe penalty that makes it impossible to compete, so I don’t see a need to put a time limit on it. The only time I see this becoming a problem is when a team no longer has an incentive to compete in the current season (so the roster lock penalty no longer has any bite), but I’m not sure a rebuilding team would have anything to gain by doing this as long as there’s a rule that all rosters must be valid by the end of the season.
-
I actually don't think the rules are clear at all on this. Rules I.b., I.c. and V.d. all deal with breaches of salary cap and/or roster limits, but they're not internally consistent. To me, Rule V.d. is the most relevant to this situation, but it does not address the key question of how long is too long for an invalid roster. (Note that Rule I.b. is not actually applicable here as it speaks only to breaches of the salary cap, not the roster limit, and UCL has not breached the salary cap).
-
I think locked rosters are the default “penalty” and that seems pretty clear.

(or unmissable auction nominations)
-
I'm cool cutting if everyone is upset. I am a commish in another league and have had a manager invalid and waiting on IL moves since the 14th (longer than I have been invalid here) - I have not said anything to them as I understand their intent. Rule 1B is pretty clear that the penalty for invalid roster is locked roster moves, this is PEAK move season and sitting out is a costly option and personal preference. If you folks disagree I'll happily make valid tonight, otherwise I await IL moves.
-
please share your interpretation of how you would like to see this situation handled in our league, this has historically been a league dependent decision so we’d like to hear from you all.
-
Hey all! UCL and I are at an impasse of the interpretation of Rule 1b. It’s my understanding historically that getting legal within a 24-48 hr window is an appropriate way to interpret the penalties of having an illegal roster even though that time limit isn’t explicitly stated. The other take is that the penalty of not being able to sell lineups or bid on FA is enough and the mngr shall wait to make cuts at their convenience, waiting for IL hits, etc.
-
I've long felt that there's only room for one Tommy John Surgery related name in this league.
-
I feel like I should reconsider my team name ...
-
Does... Does this mean I "ate your pumps?"
-
It's painful to give up an asset like Gunnar, but you put the fear in me in the draft last night. This is going to be a tough league again!
-
That's the spice I like to see the day after a draft.
-
No worries, I'm a commish in another league that drafted last week and it's better to get in front of that headache as almost no one reads the forums from what I can tell lol
-
Yo UCL thanks for being on top of the browser stuff! Super helpful info for anyone who might have trouble.

As Acapulco mentioned, Chrome users are having some issues with the Draft. Please test your client prior to the draft tomorrow. You can test the client by going to league homepage and clicking the "Auction Draft" subtab. If it works, good. If it doesn't work it appears you have two good/reliable options. Open the league (and sign in again) in Incognito Mode. This resolved the issue for me, I was still able to use Chrome and the client worked. If that doesn't work, download Firefox brow

I’d gain $6 at the auction

Why would you when lineups are locked?

I thought I would be able to cut Bradish and incur a $6 penalty but alas.

We're working on it, hopefully the latest doodle gave us a day we can all get together. Wanted to give it one more shot before we went with the day that Goldfish couldn't make. Thanks for everyone's patience.

Do we have a time for March yet? Thanks

hey all..check to see if your draft rooms work, mine didn't and I got an error message, contacted Niv and he said some people with chrome are having that issue..I had to download firefox to get it to work, you may want to check now in case you have to do same.
-
I’m good March 1. Any start time.

I don’t want to be the one that is the problem, so I can find a proxy if need be for that date!
-
being a friday night any chance he could do a little later I have very few dates I can do
-
Any movement on draft date? Seems like we need to find another alternative as 3/1 sounds like it would put MG in a tough spot.
