Hi all, I just claimed Evil Empire and did my round of cuts. I've played Ottoneu before, and the draft date/time works for me. Glad we're going to have baseball after all, and looking forward to the season!
-
"Third baseman Kris Bryant and the Colorado Rockies are in agreement on a seven-year, $182 million contract, sources familiar with the deal tell ESPN." And just like that I look like a genius when it came to keep/cutting him. But of course I will give you all many other examples of dumbness in the months to come...
-
That makes sense. I am out the next two evenings but i will do the cuts on Saturday
-
Yay season! @PL: I think it's more fair if you can make the cuts ASAP, since you're benefiting from information others didn't have access to. (Especially if free agency ends and say, a hitter unexpectedly signs in Colorado.) @2 new managers: Yes this needs to happen ASAP as well, I'll re-up on Slack.
-
I know I have single cut session without penalties. Is there a deadline for me to do so? Also what happens if we do not find two new managers? I must admit i have totally ignored my Yahoo duties ever since I picked up this team and agonizing who i should cut and who i should not...
-
Well, we're going to have baseball after all. Opening day is April 7. Really short spring training. Looks like our auction date can hold.

MLB season doesn't look too good right now. Still, I'd like to leave the auction date for now and revisit in a couple weeks. We should know more by then...unless we don't.

27th at 4pm works for me. I have another draft for the same day but it starts at 10 pm.

Welcome Coppernob! Pac Bell is a beautiful park (and yes we still call it that...)
-
P.s. Like the renaming of a Boat, is it bad luck to change the name of the team?

Hi folks, Ottoneu Rookie here, but I heard lots of good things. I'm a Brit/Italian who moved to San Francisco in 2001, was given tickets to PacBell park, and fell in love with Baseball. Been playing Yahoo for probably 18 years with a keeper league before yahoo could do keepers, and a couple of other leagues. Looking for a new dimension and everything pointed to Ottoneu. Love my Giants, (chose this team when i spotted Luciano) but have never played a Dynasty league hope to not balls it up...

Later works fine for me. Hopefully we will have the season figured out by then. That gives us some time to find new managers too -- I think we still need three.
-
I set the auction date. It can be changed if objections come up.

ok with me
-
Haven't heard from many on auction date. Not sure we have any hurry whatsoever, since MLB doesn't seem to be in any hurry. Sigh. How does Sunday March 27 sound? 4:00ET?

I'd have a preference for Sundays over Fridays/Saturdays. I also don't mind weeknights. Whenisgood.net can be helpful for this.

All those are good for me except for the 13th.

Some possible dates for auction in March: 11/12/13/25/26/27. What's out for you?

Sent email to get named as Commish. I expect it will get fixed up today. If anybody else wants to co-commish, I'll add you. Aside from setting up the auction, there's really isn't a lot to do. And speaking of auction, take a peek at your schedule and see what's in and what's out.

if commish doesn't renew, that can happen. Did you reach out to Niv yet? If not, I will.

Looks like this has happened before, we just have to get Niv's help to fix it: https://community.ottoneu.com/t/commissioner-has-abandoned-the-league/10701. Plenty of recruiting to do -- Evil Empire, Team Name #2, Mookie & Pleasant Living are all gone???
-
It appears we have no commissioner? I didn't know that could even happen.
-
And he still has a roster that will make him the favorite next year.
-
Whoops. 7 out of 11 years.
Not that it changes much. Lol
-
6th straight title for RC. Has won 7 of the 10 years of this league.
I would imagine it's the most decorated and successful team in all of Ottoneu.
I wonder if there's a way we can find out.
-
Congrats Conine!

Trade deadline is just a couple days away! HMU with any ideas, my block is up to date and I'm always happy to chat and hear what others are interested in.
-
Mike Trout has certainly helped that roster. When Conine finally let's him go imagine what he's going to do with that extra ~$80 --- Scary
-
I can only take credit for the last one, also -- the prior manager departed after 2019. They built a winner!
-
Two words: Mike Trout. I think this team has rostered him continuously longer than any other in Ottoverse.
-
Just noticed Revolution Conine is about to win his 6th straight title. Impressive streak! How the heck does that even happen?
-
Anybody want to hit me up for trades before I make my free cuts?
-
I saw a team open and claimed it. I have 1 other team that I have had for 2 years now, so I know how to play but I have not done great there so I can't claim to be expert.
-
Happy Alek Manoah day... 2nd attempt
-
Ouch, Trout. Well Marte and Bellinger should be back soon, but I would still be interested in trading a mid-tier starter for a hitter, probably but not necessarily an OF.
-
11 of guys already on the IL 3 weeks into the season. This is becoming a normal thing for me yearly.
If anyone wants one of their IRL rival teams star players to get injured send that guy my way.
-
Nice article. I'm all for getting ottoneu more exposure.

Absolutely awesome Conine!
-
Hope you all will read the article I've just written for the Post about Niv & Ottoneu. One of the clear lessons I learned reporting this was just how much the game is co-created among leaguemates, so thanks so much for making this as fun (& challenging!) as it is! https://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/2021/04/13/ottoneu-fantasy-baseball-niv-shah/
-
Glad you're doing better. Luckily your team was already 🔥 🔥 🔥 to begin with.
-
Yikes Inclemente, bad weather indeed. Hope you’re feeling better & glad to have you back!
-
Sorry to hear that Inclemente. Hope you're much better now.

Sorry guys, just wanted to say I am active and plan on being active. I unfortunately missed the draft due to being in the hospital for a few days. Wouldn't have missed it if I wasn't.
-
I would also say if you decide you’re out of it before the season starts see who else is interested. Not that you would have gotten an offer you prefer but you’ll never know now and you had nothing to lose by waiting a few days to accept that offer.
-
Fair fair. I am more concerned about the process -- I guess I think you *did* have a shot, or at least it would be more sporting to have made a go, especially with $60 in cap coming *out* of the auction -- than arguing about the return, which is obviously high ceiling, volatile, and subjective. Like I said, I'm not like, mad, and if we want to reserve vetos for collusion, that's 100% fine. Actually more concerning is, did we find out if Inclemente is still around?
