I don't think we'll have to worry about that!
-
Look I’m suggesting for the integrity of the league Matsui should not be allowed to trade before the deadline. Whatever happens after the season can be discussed then.
-
I think we should try to keep it civil. There’s no reason for anyone to be angry. This is a first year league and we can voice frustrations and work together to fix them, but we won’t improve anything if we get angry and curse at each other. I agree that a note along with refusal is the best course and is what I do, but some don’t. Although, a rejection in itself tells us the person is active.
-
Matsui the site logs every time you visit the home page and when your last transaction was. You’ve actually checked your team at the beginning of May, July 29 and today. Also you haven’t made a single transaction in ANY of you three leagues in 4-5 months. So are all of your teams in the same boat or did you just bail? And Brad while I love your optimistic viewpoint all is not alright at least regarding Matsui.
-
just cause its your "right" it doesn't contribute to a better league. its dumb frankly. why are you in the league with real people when there's plenty of awesome solitaire simulation games you can play if thats what you're after? even responding with "RIDICULOUS" or "not even close dont bother" lets us know you're active and give a sh*t
-
I’m not offended by any trade offer it’s your right to send whatever you want just like it’s my right to ignore it if it’s one sided.

Agreed. Communication is key and no one should get offended by any reasonable negotiation. I know I’ve offered and reoffered following rejection multiple times. No problem with this. Glad to get some dialogue ramping up as we head into the close!
-
Dear Brad: ~insert Bring it On gif~. My 2 cents on trades, and to add on to Shotani’s point earlier…my favorite part of Otto is how everybody values players differently. Names, stats, salary, etc all factors into how you put together a team so don’t be insulted or offended by offers you get, especially mine 😉. Best course of action is to discuss and find a solution where everybody “wins”
-
It's all good Matsui. No problems, sorry for the injuries, hope it can be more enjoyable for you next year.
-
I’ve had so many players on the IL I couldn’t field a team. Didn’t have cap space to make moves. Still like my guys. Wanted to wait till the end of the year to make moves for the next year. I stay logged in so I don’t know why it says inactive.

See there, he's here and active and all is good. Maybe we can improve communication a bit, but I am unworried as to activity. It's my belief we have a great league here.
-
It had indeed been a great year! At the conclusion of the season, we will find new owners for any inactive team. If he comes back and tries to trade we will also consider vetoing any offers due to your points, but that will depend on the trade itself and any other factors. It's our goal to make the league as good as we can and I hope everyone has enjoyed it this year. Good luck to everyone! And to Threat Level: I'm coming for your bye week!
-
I’ve been on all year. My team got hurt left and right so I’m waiting for next year. I don’t think I need to trade or send trades to remain “active” I didn’t respond to any of your trade requests because they were ridiculous.

Lastly we are entering the best and worst time of the year. It’s why I love and hate the H2H format. The regular season and win loss records mean nothing in the playoffs. One hot week and anyone can win. One cold week and you are out. Good luck to everyone who are going to the playoffs. Thanks to all of you for a fun diversion from the trials and tribulations of everyday life.
-
Secondly it’s great to see people sending trade offers and see trades being made. It’s really what separates Ottoneu from other formats. There is a short term strategy and a long term strategy. Simple moves now can have an immediate impact now for the playoff teams and a lasting impact for those looking to the future.
-
Just some quick thoughts as the regular season winds down. First Matsui pretty much ghosted the league this year. He has only signed on once since the beginning of May and hasn’t made a single transaction in 5 months. I doubt he’ll show up before the trade deadline but if he does I don’t think it would be fair to allow him to trade. Also I think his team should be marked as abandoned at the conclusion of the season so we can get a more attentive owner to take over. Just my personal feelings.
-
Andrew Heaney = the village bicycle. Poor guy haha
-
$1 Trevor Rogers has been out on bereavement for awhile. Not sure he can help me anymore this year. Willing to trade him alone or in a package for an upper tier SP. Also looking for RP. Trade deadline is approaching. If you are looking towards next year and want to shed salary let me know.
-
Looking to secure a closer. Feel free to hit me up with trade proposals, willing to get creative.
-
It’s about time somebody else made a trade :)
-
Brutal
-
Wow!! Didn’t see that.
-
697.80 to 696.80 LOLOLOLOLOLOL
-
Hey meat you said you’re up for some moves. Check your pending trade offers. :)
-
Lol, thanks
-
Uhhh, I think the guy that posted before you is interested. Allow me to introduce you two...
-
I'm ready to build for next year if anyone is interested
-
I know. There is some luck to that though. And the scary thing about the H2H is one bad week in the playoffs and that regular season record means nothing. I’m just trying to shore up my weak areas and am willing to part with good players to possibly help another team for the next several years. Trading season is here :)
-
You are 15-1!
-
I am looking for SP and RP for the playoffs. I have a surplus of OF and prospects that I can package in the right deal. If you are looking to next year please reach out. I am open to trading anyone if it makes me better for this year.
-
Have a great trip!
-
Just an FYI I am going to be hiking and have no internet connection until Friday....if you send me a message or a trade causes my roster to become illegal I'll take care of it before games resume next weekend, Cheers!
-
Thunder Gun...been doing a little roster remodeling lately?
-
Needed to change my team name to recognize the incredible athlete that Ohtani is.
-
Witt Jr. , Austin Martin, Heliot Ramos, among others are available for win now players. If you are rebuilding I am buying players that can help this year.
-
Escobar did the same thing after I cut him. Just what he does apparently
-
....Says the guy that is 6-0 and scoring 800 pts a game!
-
I think I am going to regret cutting Escobar 😬
-
Looking for SP. Willing to move any position player not named Soto or Ohtani right now.
-
Well I guess we know the league consensus value of Carlos Rodon :)
-
Line ups have been unlocked
-
Any idea when the schedule will be submitted and we can set our lineups? I know there is time but just ready to get going :)
-
I have a surplus of OF and looking to add SP. also in need of back up SS. If you need an OF hit me up.
-
Everybody should be receiving an email with an invite to the auction sometime today. The slow auction will work as follows: each player will be auctioned for a initial period of 12 hours. Every time there is a new high bidder, the clock will reset to 8 hours if currently below that mark. There will be up to 25 players being auctioned at a single time. This setup should allow every owner to have the opportunity to bid on every player, regardless of time zone or work/scheduling conflicts.

I’ll be joining slack as well probably Monday. Nice to see everyone and excited to get the season started!! Stoked that so many seem to be interested long-term.
-
I suggest everybody set their Display Name to their Team Name. So we know who is who and to avoid confusion.

I've created a Slack channel and sent everybody in the league an invite.

Hi all - I just joined yesterday and hopefully have one friend willing to get in also. Also I agree on the Slack channel. I've found the leagues I'm in that cultivate conversation outside of the main message board are the most fun and keep long lasting members.
-
Sorry to pile on, but in the thought of trying to make this league last - I've always found having a Slack Channel as being helpful for league announcements, rule discussions, trade talks, etc.... Just another idea
