Hyanis (and of course Big Papi) did not participate in in the Arbitration process. Yeli told me by email that he is abandoning the team but very kindly did go through with the arbitration process. I will wait two more days and mark Hyannis and Yeli as abandoned. DO spread the word. This is a fun active league and deserves good managers
-
A reminder that Arbitration has started. My hope is, of course, that all of you renew for next year but if you think you can't I would still ask that you participate in the arbitration process.
-
Papi, this makes me sad. I shall confess that for the first two years of ottoneu I thought "Big Papi" teams were a computer generated generic name for abbandoned teams... I wish you all the best.
-
Papi, I’m honestly gonna miss the chaos you instilled. The league won’t be the same without your $15 max bids on what seemed like every auction haha. Hope you’re well and all the best moving forward
-
Commish and owners, downsizing quite a bit from my crazy year depression where I was claiming every team or almost, thanks for the fun, but I got to slow down (time consuming and $$), please abandon my team Congrats to winners
-
Thanks Cooper it was a tough toss-up and thanks to our new commissioner for the taking the reins and leading us so well.
-
Huge congratulations to the Sluggers!!! Outstanding champions and an exceptional season from wire to wire. Congratulations, too, on terrific seasons by all the other playoff teams, each of which was as or more deserving than me of a spot in the championship. And thanks to everyone for a really fun season.
-
It was a hell of a battle. Great season, great league looking forward to next year already!
-
That Dodgers vs. Braves game tonight was an excruciating 3 hours of baseball 😅
-
4 points? Geez that was a well fought semifinal...
-
Big Papi going through some serious retail therapy buying everyone up...
-
Given the number of teams you follow this must be the weekend from hell. I'd hate to be your internet provider!
-
I'll be easy on you Commish, I won't be attending, no spots left. Have a good draft you all
-
Auction Day tomorrow 3pm Pacific! This is my first auction as commissioner so please bring patience and goodwill
-
Ah, right, I am familiar with the general timeline of Ottoneu but didn't put together that rosters are locked now because others already made cuts. In that case, I will work with what I have!
-
Trades are blocked from Jan 31st (the date of last cuts) until our auction/draft. The remain open for the rest of the season. Shuts down on Aug 31st until after Arbitration. That is what Ottoneu fun as it is pretty active year round
-
Hello and thanks for the welcome! I have many years of experience with fantasy baseball, including an auction keeper league, and have played in a dynasty-style Strat-O-Matic league for many years as well. But this is my first Ottoneu league, so I will be learning the ropes. Decided to take the plunge after reading a lot about Ottoneu on FanGraphs. I've already started reviewing my roster for keepers/cuts, so I will finalize those by next weekend. In the meantime, feel free to send trade offers!
-
Good news - Riding Pine has found someone to love 'em. They have become Oakland Ballers. Welcome to the league. Let us know if this is your first Ottoneu league or if you know your way around. I have set up (I think, as this is my first season as commish, ) for you to cut players penalty free. Would appreciate it if you could do so by the end of next weekend That should give you time to study your roster on who to cut, but then also finalize the FAs for the rest of us.
-
I'm in many leagues and the unofficial ruling seems to be 48 hours
-
Riding Pine is the only team that has not renewed,. He is technically in a valid status (36 players and under $400 however, although his last login was Jan 28th he made no cuts. I have written to his email. As this is my first time as Ottoneu Commish what are your feelings? 24 hours or 48 hours before putting the team open for re-adoption?
-
Renewed and good with the draft date here (hopefully nothing comes up!)
-
Still three teams need to renew their team Deadline is midnight EST.
-
We have a majority that have now agreed with Auction at March 16th at 3PM PST, 6PM EST. Also please be reminded that team renewals must be paid by Jan 31. We only have three teams that have not renewed yet, but I see the managers are active and logged in these days so I am not concerned (I hope!)
-
#1 is my preference
-
We have no preference. All 3 options work for us. Thanks!
-
Number 1 is fine with me
-
I think any of those should work for me, too.
-
Any of those would work for me.
-
#1 or #3 please
-
#1 please.

Hello Larry Walker, +1 to the Commish's welcome
-
Hi and welcome. We have three new managers this year (You, Grand Master Hinson and Mookie Monsters) and I'm a new Commish. Everybody else has confirmed for next year so we be should be good to go.
-
Hello All, taking over Larry White Walkers very excited to join. I’ve only played NL only ottoneu so I’m looking forward to expanding my universe. I’m an active manager who loves a good trade negotiation. Cheers!
-
Thanks, Commish. The league I was in a couple years ago was 5x5, weekly lineups. So FG points, hth, and daily lineups will be new. Should be fun!
-
Welcome to 1157. What Ottoneu scoring system are you used to?
-
Hi all, just signed up for the Hinson team. Lifelong baseball fan, periodic fantasy stuff, played Ottoneu for the first time a couple years ago in a newly-formed league that didn’t survive. Giving it another go this year. Looking forward to learning the roster and scoring format. Thanks
-
Unfortunately Grand Master Hinson asked me to abandon the team as he realized he could not follow it. I have done so and will probably do walkers on Sunday
