Hey my name is Noah and am glad to be part of the league. I enjoy this time of year with the trading.

Hey everyone, we have a new manager for That's Soto Raven who has officially taken the team. The upcoming season will be their 3rd year playing Ottoneu and first year playing H2H.
-
When a player is cut they are returned to the pool of available players for auction in the upcoming season. The big thing is that up until the Jan 31 deadline there are NO cap penalties for cuts and their cost is reset to 0.
-
So what happens to players after you cut them?
It looks like their cost got reset to zero?
Then they will be up for grabs when we have our auction draft in the spring?
-
hey, Harold! I may know someone that would play. I messaged him today, so I should get a response in the next 1-2 days.
-
Anyone have a friend that would like to join our league? We have an opening with "That's Soto Raven".
If we don't have anyone in mind I'll get someone through the Ottoneu community.
-
With arbitration over we now hit trade season! Update your trade blocks and make your moves by Jan 31st (you got lots of time!).
Jan 31 is not only the trade deadline but also the cut deadline to get your roster ready for the next draft day.
-
Top 10 allocations for this season:
Zack Wheeler $11
Freddy Peralta $10
Julio Urias $10
Austin Riley $10
Trea Turner $10
Marcus Semien $9
Corbin Burnes $8
Cedric Mullins $7
Vladimir Guerrero Jr. $7
Charlie Morton $6
-
I noticed there wasn't much activity yet, so I wanted to remind everyone that arbitration is happening right now (ending 11/14). Head over to https://ottoneu.fangraphs.com/1212/allocations in order to allocate money to other teams.

Buuuuut also remember that Jason won the title and give him all the arbitration :)
-
Let's all remember during arbitration that Harold was the top-scoring team this year. Don't be shy in giving his players some nice pay bumps. That $6 Freddy Peralta is criminal.

Hello everyone, the following postseason Ottoneu actions have been completed:
1. Auto increases for all players
2. Player position changes based on games played this past season
3. All cap penalties are gone
Arbitration will start on Friday, October 15th!
-
It was a fun season! Sorry for the uneventful final matchup, but I blame Harold's hitting. I'm accepting payments on Patreon for beating Harold for anyone interested.

Congrats to Jason on winning the title in our first season! Reminder to everyone that you can add or cut players up until October 3rd!
-
Anybody know where I can find a large quantity of chicken or rum to wake up my bats?
-
Your bats have been absolutely on fire this week, hopefully they have a few more days left in them to fulfill the #BeatHarold prophecy! 😆
-
Kudos to Quantrill, Urias, and Stroman for making up for Yu's horrible start. It isn't over though ... Harold's still got a lot of starters facing weak competition. He could have a huge Sunday.

I'm regretting naming my team after Yu Darvish right now.

At least the Yordan part of the deadline trade is working out, 2 HRs today!
-
Looking forward to the matchup this week. Seeing Harold with Gerrit Cole facing Baltimore AND Cleveland this week makes me cry a little, but there's always hope. #DestroyHarold

thanks Rick! it was a good matchup, close all the way through the end. Luckily for me the good Nola decided to show up this week. #BeatJason
-
Good match Harold and congrats on your win, it has been a lot of fun this year. Good luck in the finals.
-
This has been a very fun week to watch, I can’t believe all 4 playoffs teams are within 22 points of each other coming into the last day!
-
God help me I’m relying on Aaron Nola on the final day of a playoff matchup
-
Yes...that was unfortunate Harold. But as the immortal Yogi Berra once said, "It ain't over till it's over". And trust me, I am more than capable of having a similar performance.
-
Given that Rick has 3 more pitching starts left than I do and I got a combined 2.36 points from Woodruff, Cole, and Peralta I think I'm most likely cooked. I'm gonna need a bit of a miracle to make it past this round
-
It's a good ole fashion fantasy slug fest, exciting few days ahead. Harold may just be human after all, never know. Then again he could just demoralize me at any point.
-
As of right now, the playoff teams are all scoring within 40 points of each other. Pretty incredible.

Woodruff with a -20 today, I'm a trading genius
-
From Jan 31 to draft day all rosters are frozen and we have a bit of a second "dead period" of activity.
-
Some teams try to swing deals in December but I think a lot of people like to take a break from mid Nov to end of Dec.
January usually sees a flurry of trade activity and definitely a lot of cuts leading up to the deadline on Jan 31.
-
End of season is October 3rd.
Arbitration usually begins a couple weeks after end of the season. Currently calendar of events shows October 15 (based on last season): https://ottoneu.fangraphs.com/1212/tools
We get a month to take care of Arbitration. After that trades/cuts can be made all the way up to the Jan 31 deadline. Truthfully, Ottoneu baseball usually enters kind of a "dead period" like college recruiting from mid-Nov to end of Dec.
-
Hey Royce! All in all I think this has been a fine first regular season for our league :)
Seems like most of us have had the chance to get used to the format and all it holds. It took me a full first season to really get used to it and start understanding some strategy to take on. Hopefully the onboarding for y'all has been better than it was for me, which was nonexistant outside of some Fangraphs articles lol
As for the rest of our season pickups/cuts can continue on u
-
Also, are the final standings now frozen and any playoff points don't get added to them?
-
Can't say that I'm disappointed finishing with a tie for 4th place. That's better than I expected for such a new format!
Harold, can you walk us through the timeline for the post-season? When does arbitration begin and when do we lose all of our salary cap penalties and start to add/cut players for next season? Does that last the whole off-season or is it a small window of time between now and Spring?
-
I'm not sure I have enough fuel in the tank to take Harold down but I will die trying. So many pitching injuries on my team right now. If anything I'm going to have an awesome starting rotation next year. It has come to me that beating Harold is a multi year pursuit, sort of like climbing Mount Everest.
-
Fun deadline trading as always! Now that I have collected the Marlins starting rotation I can go to bed.
-
fun trade deadline with 5 deals made and Nick making deals with the current top 2 teams in the league which means we're both destined to lose in the first round now
-
Trade deadline is today, get those offers out there if you wanna wheel and deal! :)
-
Lol glad to see #BeatHarold is still alive and well.
-
Here's the good thing, though. Other than Harold, we'll all be rooting for Rick.

Very tough loss Royce, but congrats on the win, Dad! I was checking in throughout the day as well, fun to see such a close fight for that last spot.
The only issue now is that you most likely will face Harold in the first round...
-
I was checking the score of Royce and Rick's game throughout the day, so that was definitely fun. I also was in disbelief when I woke up. Congrats, Rick!
It looks like I'm going to be against Heather (my wife) in the first week of the playoffs ... it's going to be a tense week in the Lutz household.

I'd love more engagement overall! Royce and I take up most of the message board posts currently lol
Tough way to lose out on a playoff spot, crazy close game. When I checked last I saw Royce up a few points and then woke up this morning to see the end result. I might send a few offers your way :)
-
Hey, great match last week, that was a blast, went down to the wire and we swapped leads about every 10 minutes. To be honest, I would have been fine if I had lost, it simply was a rush for sure. Great match sir!
-
Such a very disappointing loss to Ynoa last night. It was exciting to have a play-in game go down to the wire, but I'm actually more disappointed than I expected! Now I have such a short window of time to trade before the deadline! I'm interested if anyone wants to throw some offers my way.
Additionally, I wish there was more engagement between people in this league. This message board just doesn't quite cut it.
-
Huge comeback for Royce today with a game still ongoing to decide the playoff spot. NYY vs OAK will determine what happens for our two playoff contenders!
