Thanks -- it's been a fun second half!
-
Great pennant race Wake and Vandelay! Good luck to both of you this final week
-
It's a way to recoup money back from players you have previously cut. After 30 days you can reauction the player and cut again to get additional salary relief.

I gotta ask because I don’t understand. Why are yall constantly bidding on players, winning the bid, then immediately cutting them?
-
Correa, Raleigh, and Bregman are all available for trades
-
The tentative start on March 10th is actually 5PM not 12PM. Entry error on my part.

The draft date has been set for Sunday March 10th with a tentative time of 12PM. In the interest of accommodating as many teams as possible I have generated another draft selector with a few more options for start time on March 10th.
-
Greetings from the Death Star. Did we get an auction date and time set?
-
I'll be on the road during the day Sunday the 10th, should be back by 5, could maybe swing 4 but I'll be driving for the earlier part of the day
-
I could do 130 start on Sunday
-
I’m not available at 12 because I will be driving home from church. But at 1pm I’m good on Sundays. Not sure why other people aren’t free at noon. I get it if that’s the best day and time for everyone, but the options given to us were very limited. I’d hate for guys, including myself, to not even be able to draft after forking out money to play
-
Weekdays won’t work for me unless it is Friday evening I am an early riser and in bed by 7pm
-
I'm always willing to add any days or times that get requested.
-
5 people are marked unavailable at noon. Just two are marked unavailable at 5. I doubt 1 will be the most utilitarian option. I'd be up for adding some weekday evenings if that helps and if commish thinks it's worth pursuing.

I see the most common day was Sunday, March 10 at 5pm. I really hate the idea that I’m paying money to do this I won’t even be able to draft my own players. Can we do it at like 1pm on that Sunday?

It's that time of year again! Spring training is upon us which means it's time to pick a draft date. I will include a link in my next message to a draft date board. Please use the link to select your team then select the days and times that you are available to draft. The day with the most availability will be selected as our draft day and time.

I think I've got someone interested in taking over the "No Name" team. I'm not familiar with the process but I think if we mark the team as abandoned I can pass along word for them to claim the team
-
Haven't been able to turn up anyone on my end, anyone else have someone who can take over for No Name?
-
No Name is confirmed gone. I have not heard anything from Lake St. Hawks. Looks like it is recruiting time for one possibly two new managers if Lake St doesn't respond. If anyone has any candidates just let me know.
-
Lake St. Hawks - make yourself known (and assign some arb $$) if you're still interested! But yeah, would be great to get a new manager for No Name. Happy to ask around if that would help but defer to the league in terms of how to fill the spots
-
Looks like Lake St. made a few sporadic moves over the last couple months but No Name seems completely abandoned - currently no manager is listed and they last made a move April 14th
-
3 guys still need to do arbitration. Are we sure they are still playing?
-
Well done!

Awesome season everyone, especially the top two. That was an epic race to watch down the stretch, you two were trading punches til the very end
-
Thanks y'all, fun active league

Congrats to you both for really strong seasons. It was fun to watch from down here in the middle of the pack!
-
Great season SR! One of the funnest pennant chases I have had the pleasure of being part of. That last month was grueling lol. See ya next year!
-
Soooooo…who else is in on the Mike trout sweepstakes???
-
Looking to make last minute deals on veterans like Scherzer, Lynn, Jimenez, Vaughn, Baez, Buxton. Send an offer if you are looking for that last piece to make a championship push.
-
Should be fun to look back at in a year or two and see how it pans out!
-
whoa that's a fun trade
-
No worries!! I feel bad that you didn’t know that headed into this year!! It really does open up so many great trading possibilities. I still likely shot too low with my Trea Turner trade but that’s on me to learn and do better next time - and thankfully that loan’s gone soon and Trea will likely be back in the player pool
-
Sorry guys! I’m all good now, jumped the gun on that one haha
-
If budgets reset then I’m good. I was under the impression budgets didn’t reset to $400 😅
-
Players’ salaries increase year over year, and budgets reset to $400. If I’m aiming to compete next year (which I finally reluctantly have, our top two teams are too good for me to think I can catch), then this year’s salary cap is of no real concern. Check out the trades made at the bottom of player pages to view other trades across other ottoneu leagues. Very common stuff :)
-
Yeah, this is what makes ottoneu such a dynamic format for trading. If you know you’re not gonna keep a player into next season due to cost, ship em off for a cheap player. And if the team you’re trading with only has $5 in cap, covering the salary is how you get that deal done. I’d give up 5 players and a $200 loan for the next month and a half for Rando’s $4 Corbin Carroll if I could! But that would be a bad move by them, not by me
-
Just wanted to chime in to say I second what Rando and Wake n Rake said. Trades like the ones just made are pretty common in Ottoneu leagues. Our budgets reset each year and player salaries increase both automatically and through arbitration, so in-season loans usually aren't much of a problem unless they are egregious, which doesn't (in my mind) seem to be the case here.
-
I overlooked where you said you get $400 at the beginning of each season. I thought loans carried over… I’m trying to find it somewhere
-
In-season loans are pretty common in ottoneu leagues. Leads to more trades and better free agents after the season.

I get making the trade, totally makes sense. But throwing in the extra money to make the other persons budget work seems crazy to me. That’s why I said you’re basically paying $40 for that prospect
