I confirmed this was his intention. It's a valid gambit IMO; you usually see it more in-season for a loan, but before draft the thought is that it's actually a burden for me to carry Gordon at $3 (I disagree, ofc). I actually did it in another league where I traded someone a $19 Iglesias because it seemed like he would keep that Iglesias, which I thought would be to my (and my league-mates') advantage, because I think Iglesias is worth less than $19 and this player seemed to intend to keep him.
-
I dont see Gordon going for $3 at auction. I have him valued at $1. Just trying something different. I didnt mean to upset anyone just trying different things to build my team and win.

Why not just cut him?

And it allowed me to get me Free Lunch badge on the forum. Something about those badges I be wanting more and more

Conine showed interest in Gordon multiple times this offseason. We went back and forth on counters a few times. I had no plans of keeping him. Conine has $ to shave and players to cut, I figured by sending him Gordon I receive $3 not being spent at auction, multiple offers = intent to keep. 1 player who may or may not be cut because Gordon is now an option for him to keep. 1 Roster spot occupied meaning one less bid at auction. Maybe a dumb idea/strat but thats my thought process

Newbie question: This trade where DP trades a player for nothing in return from Revolution. Can someone explain the advantages for DP? I am not at all opposed to the trade but I am mystified on the strategy
-
Multiple teams have yet to renew for 2023--time is running out...

Ok, I set the auction date/time. If I didn't give you time to respond, don't panic -- it can be changed. But I'll need to know real soon.

For auction, how about March 26 at 4PM ET?

March is open for me. I've found whenisgood or Doodle works pretty well for setting these things up.
As for trades before deadline -- I'm interested in moving top pitching for equivalently elite hitting, and I've got a number of decent pieces I'll likely have to cut. So if you want to avoid the volatility of the auction, shop here.

I’m in two otto and two yahoo and no dates booked yet. Only weekends please.

Hey y'all. Wanna schedule an auction? Early, like Mar 11 or 12? Late, like Mar 25 or 26? Can't do a weekend? Tell me what's out for you. I already have 2 auctions on Mar 18, so that date is out for me.

If anyone is looking for something kinda different, we have a couple teams open in the 20-team league, 1053. (It's otherwise a typical FGPts league.) The dynamics are definitely a little wacky, but it's a challenge to scrape the deeper end of the player pool to put together a team. LMK and I can connect.
-
Ha I’m not good under pressure! Yes loaded team but look to be way over budget. Should be fun to clean up
-
Thanks for the interest guys. Team Points is the new owner of that team. TTurner, Devers, KTucker, Adley, JRod, Alcantara, LCastillo, TristonMc, and others. Good roster with a shiny new championship trophy. No pressure at all on you. 😁😁

Probably not interested but definitely endorse Ottoneu's H2H FGPts option. I love it as it gives you the sabermetrics of FGPts but it also rewards starter volume in a way that is probably valuable IRL beyond what FGPts captures, IMO anyways.
-
Team Points gets first dibs but if he passes I’m interested. I really enjoyed my first Ottoneu year and was thinking of h2h next as that is a format I’m more used to
-
Is that a $20 H2H league? If so I’ll take it over
-
Here's a league winner in an H2H league that can't return for next season. If anyone wants to take this squad over, please let me know. Thanks!

Can't cut players until Arbitration ends, but there is no actual penalty for being over on number or dollars at this time.
Arbitration runs Oct 15 - Nov 14 as seen in the Tools page.
I suggest reading the "End of Season Megathread" linked at the top of the page. One key item from that: Wednesday, 10/12: Cap penalties will be removed, loans will be removed, and default salary increases will be added to player’s salaries.
Enjoy a few days off then come back next Sat

Thanks. I'm looking forward to next year. On Springer: I think you can just cut him. There are no more waivers so he'll just go to free agent. You must have claimed him early enough that the boxes were still there. I think the cap penalties will clear tomorrow.

Congrats Max! What a season, way to cap it off. Looking forward to meeting again next year.
Side note: I did not mean to claim Springer and hope he can be removed back to the FA pile (if it resolved to me in 2nd then no one else claimed unless Max?). I did see the claim button in the player page but I was trying to figure out if it was even possible to claim him, since tmrw is offseason, and it appeared the answer was no -- the page with the check marks was not accessible.

Hey Otto Ten, In the end I seemed to have managed to hold on to fourth place by the skin of my teeth

Yep, it's gonna be a wild one. I lost Trout for a while and have had a lot of disappointing hitters, Yordan aside. We'll see if any of them can turn it around for this stretch run. I was traveling on trade deadline day but added Seager -- I know he could have a monster month. I'll be hiking in the Andes without service for a week in mid-to-late September, will try to strongarm my brother into tending the team for me. Both teams are top 50 globally. It'll be a fun one.
-
I’ve been traveling these last two weeks with limited access but I see that Miracle Max has pulled the big comeback. Will be a great sprint to the finish. I did a dumb but expected rookie mistake and burnt up my IP so will probably get pipped for third .

If I haven't been in touch with you yet about dealing a starting pitcher for a hitter with comparable surplus or above and beyond 2022 production...hit me up if you have ideas. I can take hitters at most positions and would also be interested in ace RPs ahead of the deadline.

Welcome to the League. This is my first league and year and im having great fun learning the dynamics. Good luck to the both of you

Welcome to our 2 new owners. Love having you fill up the league.

To catch everyone up, the new owner of what was wOBA Fett had expressed interest on the Slack channel. So I added him as owner and removed the previous owner. This bypassed the "abandon team" process in order to allow this owner to get the team. In doing so, it also bypassed the 1 round of free cuts for a new owner. So, I'm going to take his round of cuts and remove the penalties. I believe this gets us back to 12 active owners.

Hey all, I'm jumping in for wOBA Fett and will also have my work cut out for me. I've updated my block, but feel free to send offers on anyone. Thanks!

Hello all glad to be a part of the league. Looks like i got some work to do. We are open for business so send those trade offers. Ill update my block as soon as i can.

Damn, that sucks! I can post the teams in the Ottoneu slack, hopefully we can at least give a new owner a trading deadline to work with.

FYI. Roadrunners and wOBA Fett owners haven't been around for a while. I reached out to both. Roadrunners has now been abandoned. wOBA Fett will at the end of the week if I don't hear back.

Hey, I've been there for like five whole days and I plan on being there for five more! I'd like to thank Mike Trout, Yordan Alvarez and whoever managed this team before I inherited it in 2020. XD hope everyone's enjoying the season and can get out to a game soon!

Go look at the global leaderboard for today (these things change quickly) and you'll see a recognizable name at the very top. Good work Rev Conine -- nice start. Now, cut it out :)

Yeah, I think that function is especially helpful for those of us playing from the West Coast. But gotta be careful with doubleheaders like MM says.
-
I use it but may have to turn it off when doubleheaders come around. Sometimes, a guy is not starting in first game but I want him for the second game.

Rookie mistake. All thrilled that Heliot Ramos was starting Is first mlb game and forgot the “bench non starting players” . Ottoneu had not caught up with the lineup. I do like the option. Do many of you use it?
-
Oh god. For some reason I wrote down that the draft was at 7pm today. Oops ;
-
Jack Leiter not being listed as a pitcher isn't a bug. He hasn't played any games yet so he's technically positionless. He's obviously a pitcher but Ottoneu doesn't recognize him as one yet due to no appearances in his career yet (he sat out 2021 after being drafted)
So once he plays, he'll move to being a pitcher.
-
A small housekeeping question. On my Team kept Jack Leiter. He is an SP although is is listed with my Batters as a Util. Is this a bug in the system that will clear up by itself or should i report it somewhere?
-
You can go legally over $400 if you receive a loan. If you go over $400 (assuming no loan), that's correct that you cannot make further transactions or change your lineup. While that's pretty debilitating, it's also the case that you should get legal (back at/under $400) as soon as reasonably possible. The commissioner/league have some leeway to determine what speed is necessary, but usually between 24 hrs and a week -- and it won't be looked on well to stay illegal for an extended period.
