Guys thanks for a great season! Please read the End of Season Megathread at the top of this page to familiarize yourself with the off-season. Arbitration starts on Oct. 15 and the 2023 season will officially commence. Anyone not coming back please let us know.
Cheers and be safe!

Looks like everyone is back to their proper roster limits. Thanks alot for taking care of that!
-
There are several teams that are over the limit of allotted players allowed on the roster. Usually the rule is to be legal within 48 hours of becoming illegal. The season is still in progress and having every potential player available in the player pool might be helpful to those in the playoffs. Also it’s my understanding that hoarding players going into the offseason is not allowed. Please make your cuts if you are one of the teams that is currently over the limit.
-
Also if I’m understanding things correctly the finals are two weeks long. Each team gets 10 starts for week 1 and 10 starts for week 2. Week 2 extends through Wednesday of week 3 due to the delayed start of the season and the mlb schedule having to be modified. Those second 10 starts will cover that week as well so plan your starts out carefully. Read Slack under the Ottoneu baseball tab. Niv addresses this.

Guys the matchups for this next round of the playoffs are myself vs. Threat Level Midnight in the Championship round. And Mudville vs. El Ocho for the 3rd place finish. There is money involved so pay attention and good luck to all!
-
Playoffs start today! Thank you to all owners for a great year. I thought things went pretty smooth and everyone participated and did their best to compete. Good luck to the playoff teams!
-
Alonso, Iglesias and Rizzo up for grabs for some younger players. Hit me up
-
Not sure what I was thinking with my $3 bid now haha
-
Seems like someone miscalculated????

Some big baty bids
-
I would think someone might want Harper for a playoff run. Hit me up
-
Think fair to say it is selling season for me. Cole and JRam available. Hit me with some messages/offers
-
~hat tip gif~ thank you…now cut something good for us to fight over!
-
Brain fart of the year. I thought I was on my team page and I started auctions for Barnes and Strasburgh. I then realized I was looking at Threat Level’s team 😑. I can’t even blame it on being drunk…
-
Looking to turn Cole into another SP and a solid bat. One of Rizzo or Voit just sitting on my bench so open to offers on either of them.
-
I think Ian Happ’s value has been firmly set at $8
-
Slow market for trades - Story and Grandal are available, as is anyone on my team for a fair and equitable exchange...

Willson Contreras available if anyone needs C or Util help.
-
Now if we were voting in Slack…I’d bet a large sum would prefer the side with Riley and Haden (as would I!), but You also gotta take whatever Slack says with a grain of salt because there can be a lot of sheep on Slack.
-
I think it can be scary when I see a big trade like this…but it doesn’t strike me as one worth vetoing. If you think it’s unfair then I would try to get an explanation from both sides to explain why they accepted. If they can provide a scenario that proves no collusion and/or reasoning for making the trade, then all good by me.
-
I think this trade is fair for both sides
-
Should have finished with the true outcome of a trade can’t be judged immediately. They take time to develop.
-
I think it’s really tough to tell another owner how he/she should value players and build their team. I personally would only use the veto if:
1) There is provable collusion btw the owners.
2) The trade is so egregious that it disrupts the balance of the league.
I don’t think that this trade falls under either of those options.
Trades in Ottoneu are the hardest thing to get used to. We all make good ones and bad ones. The true outcome of a
-
Trade veto….not to be that guy but I voted to veto the trade between Dertroit and Thunder. I’m new to the league and trying not to make people angry but I see this trade as too one sided. Thunder is giving up his best hitter and pitcher and giving Detroit more cap room. Thunder isn’t even getting salary cap relief. He gets 1 prospect. IIMO it’s early in the season for rebuilding but that’s on each manager to decide. I veto as I don’t see an upside. Am I missing something?

Great thank-you!
-
My settings changed And I wasn’t getting notifications of chats and nominations yet. I’ll be cleaning up my roster. I understand we want active owners. I’m on it
-
Woah…I did not see that (Suzuki auction results) coming!
-
Schedule has been set by Ottoneu. You can now view it and set your lineups. Remember there are two matchups per week. 6 teams will make the playoffs.
-
I sent a message to Ottoneu help to look into when the schedule will be coming out. I’ll let you know what I find out.
-
Yesterday I felt pretty good about my $61 Tatis jr…. ☹️
-
Thanks for the info Shotani and Threat, see ya'll at 1500 hours EST

I encourage smack talk in the draft chat box. Especially if somebody misses a nomination or overpays for the wrong Wander Franco! Depending on how the draft goes we can take a break half way to get a per break, refill drinks or just get the blood flowing. FYI - during the draft you can either +1 the price, +5 or type in your own bid amount. That will help keep things moving. For higher priced guys, you don’t have to start at $1, especially for the guys that will go for $40+.
-
Nope. There is a place to text/communicate within the draft room. Also everyone should have my cell # if any issues arise.
-
Ottoneu Newb here - Other than my own materials/ranking software etc. for the draft and having access to the draft room (internet), is there anything else we should be aware of and/or have available (ie. Slack, Zoom)?

That’s cool. You are second owner on CET. I believe French Exit is the other.

welcome.

Hi All! New owner here. Been playing Ottoneu for a while now, and although I have been trying to cut down on the number of teams I have, really wanted to try H2H. This team seemed like a challenge too good to pass up. Located in Amsterdam and on CET, so sometimes no immediate responses to messages and offers.
-
I didn't hear back from anyone so I posted the link to the team on Slack. It was quickly claimed. We are back to full strength. Welcome Woodwork (team name TBA) to the league!
-
Looks like we are a team short now. Before I mark
It abandoned and open it up for anyone to claim are there any friends of yours who might want to join?
-
As discussed with commish I am not going to return. Sorry for late notice.
-
I vote to keep the draft date as is.
-
Unless I am missing something there are 7 votes for keep the date and 3 for delay. (Please recount yourselves bc I want to get this right). Have not heard from 2 teams. Either way 7 is the majority so the draft remains on 3/13 at 3pm.
Thank-you so much for the discussion and thoughtful responses. The participation was great which hopefully is a sign of a successful season.
-
I'll vote to keep it as scheduled
-
We have heard a definitive response from 9/12 owners so far. Just for the record while I see some of the pros of delaying I think the scheduling crunch will be too much. Therefore my vote is to keep the draft date on 3/13.
Mudville unless I missed it can you say keep or delay? Waiting on French Exit. Also Lollygagging pick one side of the fence please. :)
-
So I’m off the fence…I’ll officially vote to not delay
-
I just had 4 events scheduled in the past 24 hours for late March and early April, I would like to change my UN-enthusiastic 'delay' vote to an enthusiastic - "keep it where it is" vote...
No rule alterations, we are all in the same boat and any changes may/may not impact some teams more than others.

Lets give a few other owners a chance to chime in on delay draft or leave the same.
-
I am not interested in tweaking rules like allowing penalty free cuts after the draft. That opens up pandora's box and then we need to entertain/navigate every proposed tweak. It over complicates things and one of the beauty's of Ottoneu is its simplicity.
-
In summary - Delay means our risk is some league members may need to autodraft, or find someone to do it for them. Not delaying means our risk is we have incomplete info. I'd rather all 12 be involved, so vote against delay.
-
2) Delay or not. I did lean delaying, because it meant more info. But I get that its hard enough to get a draft date once, and who knows how small a window we will have to work with for a 2nd date. Once they agree, they may have 3 weeks till season, and we may only be able to find a draft within that first week because of our availability, and STILL have some free agents unsigned.
