So the 2 options we have right now are: 1- leave as is and let the roster lock run its course and 2- 24 hour time limit to get legal or lose the FA that put you over. Please vote, majority wins. Acuna’s auction ends Friday morning so I’ll give an 9pm eastern time Thursday night deadline to cast your vote. Thanks!
-
Yes, also happy with whatever direction you take commish, just wanted clarity. As I think most of us would prefer to cut as few people as possible to get legal :)
-
I do see the roster lock as a sufficient penalty but I don’t have that strong view on it. Most important thing is just having a rule that everyone is clear on, I’m fine with whatever direction we want to go.
-
If you were prepared for your roster to be frozen, you could set your lineup 3,4,5 days out, so the existing penalties are not necessarily sufficient. It's a tricky balance between an owner hasn't checked his team for the day vs. is intentionally stalling. I think the grey area would be waiting for their cut players on waivers to be claimed. I'm good either way on that. But if you need players to be claimed off waivers, and they aren't, you would need to get legal quickly in my humble opinion.
-
That’s the point of the 24 hour limit, you’d have to drop more than one high priced player to be legal. Open to other ideas as well. Thanks for your input Cosby!
-
No one would get legal in 24 hours, auctions take 48 hours. Regardless I agree it would be good to have clarity before the end of the acuna auction. I’m open to whatever is decided of course.
-
My thought for what happens if you don’t get legal in the 24 hour timeframe would be a force drop of the player that caused the illegal lineup. Thoughts on this as well?
-
I’ve been in ottoneu for years and this comes up from time to time. My personal thought is that as long as there’s a clear view of roster getting legal the built in penalties are sufficient. My limited experience as commissioner I tried to have the league vote on grey areas like this, but I’m not commish here so I’ll leave it up to you
-
Totally understandable, a strategy to counter that would be wait for the 24 hours to pass before re-nominating the dropped player.
-
I would say waiting 24 for claims is fine but sitting on your hands waiting for players to get reauctioned is too much but that’s just based on personal preference. This is a big money league so I’m more concerned with managers leveraging an illegal roster for future gains than I otherwise would be.
-
That is a great question PP and we haven’t really had to address it until now. Ottoneu says no team shall willingly go over the salary limit and it’s up to the commish to determine penalties. I’m not the unilateral type so I’d like to hear from everyone. I’d say you have 24 hours to get right but open to other ideas. We are in a time crunch due to a certain FA so please chime in soon.
-
(Asking for a friend)
-
Commish what's the league policy on how long you have to get legal. For example, do you need to be legal right away or can you wait for your players to pass through waivers/get re-nominated, etc.
-
YOLO
-
TEB you wild man. Bout to be chaos up in these streets.
-
It’s funny how close the shave can be. It’s pretty cool how well opl counterbalances original ottoneu, but agree with all you definitely sacrifice. Potent portables ur on the right track for a hack lol. Not always enough time amirite, enjoy
-
Yeah no OPL for me this year either. Tried it out last year and I think it’s a fun concept, but the short-term nature of the competition requires me to manage my roster in a way that is at odds with my approach to Ottoneu leagues.
-
Ha…I learned my lesson with OPL last year.
-
Feel like I need to join a $20 league just to compete in OPL. Hard to compete in OPL when you are (1) playing roto vs points (2) playing in a more competitive league (3) stashing any injured guys/prospects
-
Good luck guys . Re opl I was strongly looking at joining opl here, but after the draft and knowing there are so many tough managers here and some prize considerations , thought it was best for me to stay focused on just here. Looking forward to beating you guys with other entries though :)))) glgl
-
Just a reminder yall that this league is OPL eligible if you finished 6th or better in 2023! Read more and join here: https://ottoneu.fangraphs.com/opl/
One of my favorite new additions to Ottoneu.
-
I have not but I did just see that you can now get your prize money via check, as well as paying dues with any prize money in your account
-
Using a prepaid card where you deposit cash to the card and also able to withdraw prize winnings from the card without tying to a bank account. Has anyone done this? Which card did you use?
-
Probably have too many starting pitchers if anyone’s interested, I’m looking for closers and/or MI. Almost anyone available in the right deal
-
not gonna lie, my sheet is ready. im ready. my body is ready. ready for this ottoneu "high roller" league to lead the way. hope you guys have a plan for success. lol
-
Feels like there's something important happening tomorrow, just can't remember what...
-
Thanks!

Give me the email address of your partner and I can add them.

If we can’t move draft I’ll need to add a co owner to help out, commish please let me know how to facilitate. Thanks!

Hey Cosby, I have other drafts/commitments around the 25th. That date works for everyone else so I'd prefer to leave it as is.
-
The 25th or 26th work for the Wobs.

Howdy all any chance of moving draft back a day or two? I’m out of town until the 26th. If not I can make it work
-
I’ll be up until about 8 et for any last min offers, otherwise see you guys at the auction
-
Would like to move either Alonso or Naylor for similar value OF or SP. Open to all offers!
-
Just updated, but I’m open to offers on anyone. Looking forward to an active league!
-
Happy to have you! This is a great league. Previous manager claimed and did nothing all offseason, I’m sure folks would be thrilled to see an updated block!
-
Missed wtf since he left my last league. If I’m welcome here I’ll update my block and try to make some moves before the deadline.
-
Wow, that was filled incredibly fast, welcome to the league!
-
Hey all, as you can see I abandoned LFB as he said he couldn't play next year. I'll be posting in the managers wanted section and in my other leagues but if you know anyone who might be interested send them our way.

Time is good for Wobblies

Draft date sounds good, break for bedtime duties is totally cool with us.
-
8pm ET is good for me on the 25th.

Also, there is only 2 weeks left to renew your team for the 2024 season and only half the league has done so. Please re-up at your earliest convenience.
-
So the 25th is confirmed...Would 8pm eastern work for everyone? I'd be fine with a break to put kiddos to sleep.
-
2/25 and most all works for me.
-
Works for me

I would generally midday on a weekend, but understand that's not feasible for most. As far as evenings go, generally prefer something earlier (pre 730 et start) as anything after that would be run into my kids bedtime routine. Assuming that's not doable, would request we could schedule a ~10 minute break during the draft where I would be able to step away.
