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.
-
Oh yeah totally, I've been absolutely decimated by injuries the last 2 years. I think at one point last season I had 13 or 14 players on the IL. Literally over 25% of my roster.
I actually had no idea you could spend more then $400 and here I've been for 10 years now? Lol
-
Ok, but to be clear you were up to 48 players as you had 8 on the IL, at no point are you allowed to go over 40, whereas you can go over $400 but are "hobbled" by a long list of restrictions until you ga back below that.
-
Yeah, just last season I was up to I believe 48 players because of injuries. Having leftover funds helps a lot. Spending all the way down really handcuffs you imo.
-
Seconding that. Some prefer to spend every dollar, some prefer to have $50+ ready. Going down to zero means you'll have to cut someone as soon as there's an injury you need to replace. The one thing I'd add is that no one wants to see you sit out bidding on reasonable deals if you have tons of cap; but on the other hand, if you don't like the price, like Miracle says, save it and bully people when FAs come up. There was one team in here -- Wade Boggs? -- that acquired like 50 players one yr.
-
Oh yeah, that's totally an "It depends" question. How many injuries are you going to have to replace? How many of your players will flat out suck? How many free agents will blow up like Cedric Mullins did last year? You can gain some bucks in-season by cutting players, so not too much really needs to be saved. Some spend every dollar. I aim for under 10 on a good team.

Actually this will be my first auction as well as my first Ottoneu one, ive always been in drafts. i just have the one question and it cannot be answered without a "It Depends" but roughly how much should i leave in the Bank for the season biddings? I realize that i will spend this year learning hum much bidding (and over-bidding) for FAs during the season to cover injuries and needs.
-
Tomorrow is the big day! Don't be late! If anyone is new to ottoneu and needs a quick primer on how the auction screen works, let me know.

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.

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.

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
