That didn't take long. Welcome to the league, Big Papi!
-
Good team, should fill up quickly.
-
Unfortunately Cruz had to drop out last minute. I have posted his opening on the boards to get filled asap. Still have 5 other managers yet to pay. Lets all get paid up and get the doodle filled up soon please

February draft would be great for me

February draft works for me, with the exception of the 4th-7th.
-
I’m fine with a February draft.

I'd love to do a Feb draft if possible, helps to lessen the draft calendar pile-up in March
-
I'm fine with mid Feb draft I'm in 8 leagues so that would avoid a draft logjam and once you draft you can trade again if you so want to
-
Just one more point to why mid February, it gives everyone about two weeks to assess the FA landscape before putting a draft strategy together. Like I said we don’t HAVE to do this but I do thinks it can be pretty fun.
-
Idk about February 1st, but I’d also be in favor of at least a mid February auction. I won’t push if the most here would prefer otherwise but I think UCL brings up some fun and interesting points, plus my favorite part of the early draft is the fantasy echo chamber hasn’t quite settled in yet. Gives the auction quite a bit more uncertainty imo if NFBC trends are locked in and Twitter isn’t full of all the same sleepers.
-
I also feel it's more in spirit of being a GM and having a flushed roster in case of injury ((which all risks are equal come Feb)
-
I, for one, am in favor of drafting like Feb 1 to avoid 0 trade/transaction season. February sucks for sports.
-
Sorry in my email I said January 30th. Deadline is January 31st***

Just throwing this out there , there's a league I've recently claimed a team in that still has 4 unclaimed teams it's a $50 5X5 league league name is "the show". If anyone's interested.
-
Welcome to the replacement team, good luck with the rebuild! Also, good job on full arbitration league. Eager as can be for those trades to start sailing!
-
Hello, new kid in town, ready to deal...my arb is done...talk to me after the 14th
-
Welcome to the league, SUYT! Thanks for taking over the team!
-
Hey everyone, just one more week of arb left and we're open for business! We're still working on finding a replacement for Puig so hopefully we can get that team filled asap. If anyone knows someone who might be interested please let me know.
-
Sorry guys been busy with life these days - Chocobos and Moogles will be co-commish as well and can help out as well with any questions/concerns and of course engagement lol

A friendly farewell, appreciate knowing!
-
Hate to do this, but I'm going to bail on this league next year. Just don't have the time required to put together a competitive team.
-
Arbitration is half over. Two weeks to run up the prices!
-
Hey new folks, welcome and good luck!
-
Welcome to the new owners!
-
Welcome Infinity ERA! Thanks for joining us!
-
Whoops. Saw the new name and I assumed you were new.
-
Welcome to the league, Vinnie's Cousins!
-
Is anyone else intending to leave? We should make sure the league is full so every team has an opportunity to participate in arbitration. I can post vacancies to the Ottoneu Slack channel, if that'd be helpful.
-
Arb is now open!! I will start looking for an owner for Marte gras.

Congratulations on the 4 peat. Looking forward to the playoffs and planning for offseason moves.
-
Thanks for the congratulations, all. It's been quite a run.
As far as cap goes... Loans are part of the game. However, if this league wanted to make a rule that all teams had to be at 40/$400 (or less) immediately following the last game of the season, I'd be down. I do think that there's a slight advantage to having more assets to deal in the off-season if you're a team that got loans, and I'd be fine with starting every off-season on equal footing.
-
I’d imagine starting the year with Judge and Julio were two HUGE factors to his success in 2022.
-
I’d have to agree with Genrous and Marte Gras. The Ottoneu trade/loan functions are imo what make it such an attractive format, at one point I’m pretty sure I also had close to $500 in cap and only touched 1st for two days and promptly had my squad fall apart at the expense of losing exciting surplus like Vinnie P, Tovar, Miranda, Gunnar, Arozarena, Rodon and more. I sent FT some loans at the deadline to get some surplus back when I was looking out of the running, but…
-
I have $502 cap and I’m in 2nd for the moment, it’s part of this game. Early congrats to Forearm
-
Ha the format may have flaws but that’s not one - taking on huge loans in any given year makes it harder to repeat, not easier, because you’re giving up future value in those deals (at least if the trade partners know what they’re doing). I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone win 4 straight in Otto so seems like congrats to FT are more in order than sour grapes. If you’re losing to the same guy 4x in a row, something is wrong but I’d venture a guess it might not be the format!
-
Same team wins 4 years in a row with over a $500 salary cap available. What’s the point of a cap if you can just get loans that let you take it to an unlimited amount? I’m out. Major flaw in this game. No suprise he won again

Thanks, BBB! I keep waiting for it all to fall apart... It certainly looked like it was out of reach in May, but my pitching finally came around and allowed me to crawl up the standings. Looking forward to the off-season and arbitration!
-
Congrats Forearm! 4 years in a row you've been whooping our butts.

Story available as well
-
Stanton, Yelich, Suzuki, JDM all still available do the stretch run…
-
No problem from my perspective
-
If it’s okay with the group I’d like to keep the players I have and wait for my roster to get legal when the Hader trade processes. I understand if the majority believe I have to get legal now but the trade is in process and will free up two roster spots for me at 6:30 tonight.
-
Hey everyone, leaning towards not cutting DeGrom right now even with the injury but given my lack of pitching depth and his unkeepable salary I’m pretty open to moving him. Let me know if you’re interested and what you’d be willing to offer.
