Just FYI to all (and Brandolorians!) -- I'm going to abandon their team to allow for (hopefully) an external party to participate in arb and then we can look for someone to takeover permanently.
-
Just over a week left for you not yet arb appliers.
-
Hi everyone - just a reminder that the offseason 'program' has begun, and arbitration is now open through November 14th. Please make sure to get your selections in before then!
Also, I would ask everyone to just take a moment and ensure that you plan on joining Chester's Project in 2024 - I'd love to have you all back! But now is a crucial time for the league if there is going to be turnover, as a new manager would likely want to participate in the arb process themselves. Thanks!
-
Woo! Congrats, Otto!
Good luck during the offseason, everyone!
-
A little late on the congratulations, but:
Great win, Otto! Hell of a run! Team is a juggernaut!

Thanks y'all! And thanks for running it commish!
-
Bravo!
-
Congrats Ottomatic! Couldn't catch ya.
-
His average price in Otto leagues is $10.
-
I'd cut and buy back in 30 days. Honestly, though I wouldn't even keep at $15.
-
No free lunches!
-
Lol I guess I underbid on Skenes a bit
-
Yep, we're all good. Looking forward to the second half (though I don't have much of a chance to make much noise in the standings...)

NYS -- also from Niv:
Just let them know that none of the messages are permanently deleted and if he wants me to restore them he can just email help@ottoneu.com

I’ve confirmed that only a manager of the team can delete a message posted by a team on the league message boards. If you want I can undelete all his nonsense board posts but I’m not sure the manager wants that - they did after all delete those messages.
-
Looking to trade Adley R and Sal Perez interested in any type of return
-
You can delete your own messages, I can’t delete anyone else’s.
If this dude is deleting his own messages to create some sort of false flag then I’m done/he’s done - I’ll kick him out. Really don’t care! I’m like person #8 he’s crossed paths with in the league unfavorably (some of you still here bear witness), so really not interested in that continuing.
This has nothing to do with the dropping or strategy aspect of the game. Will ask Niv if he has insight to the missi
-
Idk, I've never commissioned an Otto league. It does look like his posts disappeared though. It is the time of year that big money players start to get dropped though. If a player sucks or a team is out of contention, money better spent elsewhere.
-
From NYS to my inbox: “ Comish what’s your opinion of all the high dollar drops. You. Blocked me from the board and yet you do the same.”
Just to note I haven’t blocked anyone from posting (could I even do that? I wouldn’t…).
-
Just so happens that Jacob Nottingham, of the aforementioned rule, was just traded to the Giants. Weird.

Versus*

Where was the vote?
-
Ok, the league has spoken! Honestly the Guerrero cut was sort of the straw and don't really have an issue with it on its own. I can see a reasonable case for it happening, and you've all made it as well. My issue was/is more of an eyeroll when a player who has not been previously nominated or rostered gets put up and then immediately dropped. I get that it doesn't affect me in terms of my roster... just find it annoying! But alas, different strokes.
-
I can share that many of the longer tenured leagues are filled with bold cuts of expensive stars. Even if I wouldn't have made the Guerrero cut, there's definitely some dead money tied up across the league in overvalued players that is weighing some teams down that I think is of at least equal negative impact.

Woah. Had missed all of this, including the existence of the Nottingham rule...Interestingly enough, I immediately thought of the Ottoneu 30-day renomination cool down that already existed when I just read up on it. I do enjoy my lottery tickets, unloved free agents, and madcap chaos, so I'm down with churn.

What is knottingham rule?
-
Personally, I don't find it all that weird - just maybe on the upper end of the churn spectrum. Though, I may be a bit of a churner myself. Looking to fill short-term niches or cheap lottery tickets. Plus, I like to see names on auction - makes me feel like there's always activity. I do get that its not a very realistic-to-baseball strat (though the Nottingham Rule had to get established a couple years ago!) but I don't think its all that uncommon in the fantasy sphere as a whole.
-
Fwiw, my initial opinion was like wtf. But I support bold moves. May set of a chain of moves.
-
Yea, NYS please PLEASE don't take it personally... it's literally just the playing style and it ends there. If you're cool w/ it and others are also cool - like I said privately I'm not battling you on it, just stating an opinion. Take it or, likely, leave it.
-
I would've traded you something for him, but that said, I couldn't have matched the cash you'll end up with.
-
Yea, I'm fine, I just find your style annoying. Dropping Guerrero for the honor of Garrett Crochet, Wandy Peralta, and Breton Doyle (OH WAIT! You dropped him right away. Why nominate. Pointless. You do this all the time, and I don't get it.)
-
The very first line of the Ottoneu preamble reads: "The intention of this league is to mimic the job of an actual general manager as closely as possible."
Don't remember Dombrowski or Cashman or Epstein dropping 40 players by Memorial Day. The aesthetic of this is unenjoyable.
-
Looking to trade Casas and Gavin Williams in separate trades where I get a $2 loan. Basically $7 for each player.
-
Just you wait- cutting Ozuna is next up.

Looking for an OF, my most obvious players to trade would be Sal Perez, Tim Anderson, O Peraza
-
Looking to trade Neto for either $5 Or OF, MI, SP, RP
-
Draft tonight, gang! See ya at 7PM EST.
-
Will the $50 you're carrying into the draft be enough to nab him?
Draft is less than a week away, folks!
-
Thanks everyone for participating in the cuts process! Looks like some interesting talent out there... that I will have a near inability to bid competitively on. Anyway, I've reached out to Lompoc to get cuts in to me so that I can process... going to give a little '12th Place Leeway.'

Happy Cut Day, everyone!

Varsho available
-
actively trying to trade Wright, Moreno, LeClerc, Tucker..........in that order
-
With enough notice, I think I can do whenever. I think it will be hard to find a time that works for everybody though.
-
Ah, I botched the dates and days in my original message. I'll just get specific and say the draft will be Sunday, March 26th. Is that OK w/ everyone? We can revisit any other date if this turns out not to work... but just want to start with a date.
-
Can’t do Friday March 24th
-
I will be unavailable Sat 18/Sun 19, so I'd much prefer the weekend of Sat 25/Sun 26!
-
Nola and Snell available
-
Thanks for invite!!
-
I'm in, def open to any trade talk, I'll listen to all offers for all players, I put a lot on the trade block, but I'll listen to offers on all players

Welcome to the league, Matthew!
