2 Italians and an Israeli. Truly international. Welcome.

Ciao e bentrovato in questa lega.
Hello and welcome. I think it will be very rare to have two Italian teams in the same league here at Ottoneu. I think it is respectful for others to communicate in English among us too. Where are you from?

Hi guys i claimed the "Vacant" team, i got back on ottoneu this year after not playing for 4/5 years. Saw the team posted on the community board and it looked interesting for getting back into the game. I live in italy but i can manage to join the auction draft on any time (of course weekends would be ideal)

This thread is akin to the famous Who's on 1st routine. "Abandoned team, was Fairhaven, now named vacant.... He took over BP team. But Bottom Pheeders and Big Papi are both BP named... what IS the team name? VACANT..... but has no manager.... he dropped Lance McCullers? He is still in the league? Who? VACANT. NO Fairhaven.
-
Ok, maybe I got it backwards but Vacant was the original team FB took over. But he asked to move to the other open team and renamed it as Vacant.I then abandoned that team and he took over the other open team.
-
"Vacant" team shows no owner, while eman1966 is still the listed as owner of Papi's old team.

No one on my team is untouchable. Make me an offer!

Bulldogs asked if he could have the Bottom Pheders team instead. So I abandoned what was the Big Papi team and Bulldogs will be taking over the BP team instead.

Hello Bulldogs! Welcome.

Welcome Bulldogs!!

Yes, the Big Papi team needs a new owner.
-
We need a manager for Big Papi right?

Awesome trading action. Fun!

Just a reminder for everyone that arbitration ends on November 14.

Thanks for the kind welcome everyone, Roster looks better to me than I originally thought, definitely some good pieces to build off of.

Hi Jason...welcome to the league! My feeling is that you can build a team around Tarik Skubal.

What's up everyone. I claimed the Say Hey Kids, I played in a few Ottoneu leagues a couple years ago and am looking to get back into it. Looking forward to getting to know you all. And pull this team outta the gutter.
Thanks-Jason

Hi Commish and owners, congrats to the winners, wanted to say it's been a pleasure playing with all of you this season. Got way too many leagues and cannot maintain the rythm (time consuming and $$$). So I won't be renewing many of my leagues like this one, got some talent to attract new owner for next year so you should be able to quickly fill vacancy. have a good arb and a great future season! Thanks Commish for great work

Hi everyone...Expect to see the annual salary increases to hit on or about October 7. Arbitration is scheduled to start on October 15. Please let me know if you have any questions.
-
Congratulations Building! Thanks all for a fun season.
-
Thank you to everyone for the kind words. It was a really fun year and felt at times like I was never going to be able to stay ahead of HCHH. I think it could have turned out diff but for some bad injury luck hitting HCHH at the wrong time. Looking forward to the new year starting!
-
Congrats to Building for breaking thru after several competitive seasons. Had to outlast our defending champ in the process, so well done!!

Beyond 4 rocked it with a dramatic late surge. Quite the neck and neck with Sey Hey these last weeks / months. Congrats to the champ!

And, yes, good job "Building 4 2021"

I need to research how arbitration works; I don't know when it occurs. Is there a cheat sheet or rules somewhere?
-
Congrats Beyond!!
-
As I cut a player (and lowered salary thanks to waivers) I no more need to sell my RPs. Thanks to anyone for offers.
-
So no one has any interest in an RP?
-
I see a lot of comps of Strasburg for Skenes. But, he reminds me more of Roger Clemens coming out of Texas.
-
Can you imagine the nerves that Skenes has? I am sure he will settle in and do fine.
-
Scott is really good! Are you watching Skenes? His command isn't quite there, but his stuff is electric.

Watching Christian Scott (1.1 - 3K)

I refer to it as Justin Steele Day, but yes, watching it.
-
Happy Skenes Day! Anybody else watching his start?
-
Yes, the 60 day IL gives you the roster spot back but you have to carry the salary on your cap.
For players who are out for significant time or for the rest of the season, you need to make the choice of whether to carry that player for possible benefits next year. For example, if you have a cheap Shane McClanahan because he went for less is the auction due to his injury, you might want to hold him for the year so you get him at a cheap salary next year when he could return to his ac

I am still working on understanding the roster rules for our league. If a player is on the 60-day IL, I only get an extra roster spot, but no relief in my salary cap? If this is correct, then for players like Wade Miley, who is about to have TJ surgery, there is no reason to keep him on my roster for 2024, as his salary of $5 will count against my cap? TIA for answering my question.
