but the varying approaches to roster construction are part of what makes it a lot of fun.
-
prior to the 2023 season, prevailing wisdom was that carrying only SP’s on the staff was the best way to maximize rosters for the Best Ball format (a blast in any fantasy sport, i think). the 2023 tournament showed there is absolutely a way to win with relievers. that year was somewhat of an inflection point and the shape of many rosters changed accordingly. some people punt their home leagues at the service of OPL success. in my view, the goals for both OPL and winning home leagues are aligned.
-
I’ve done the OPL one year, it was Ok, one thing that did impact the league was there doesn’t seem to be a requirement for 5 RPs, most teams were stacked with SP and the league was out of balance. Have you noticed this?

still a lot of spots open in the Ottoneu Prestige League. top six in last year’s standings are eligible. it doesn’t require nearly as much additional effort as many anticipate, but it does force one to think about management in a different light. can’t recommend it enough. lot of fun. if you have any questions, feel free to ask
-
Buyer beware! I didn't realize that there are two Emmanuel Rodriguez. LOL.

To me, since Ottoneu is year-round, I think we should draft as close to the cut deadline as reasonably possible. Love the early drafts. Thanks for coordinating!

I like the February drafts all of a sudden, because you have the time to make moves before season starts. New way of looking at it for me.
-
Our draft will be this Sunday, February 23, 8pm [Eastern].

Any update on draft day? I see 11 owners could do this Sunday the 23rd. With 9 leagues to fit it, I am getting nervous about overlap. Sorry for being a nag....

above is a link for a poll to determine our draft date. i have started the options with each sunday between now and the first games in japan between the dodgers and cubs (march 18-19), with each sunday having 8pm [eastern] starting times. if we need to tinker with the start times, or move off of sundays entirely, we'll take it from there. thank you, kindly.

Is the March 9 date for the draft a placeholder, or official? I have another draft March 9 at the same time.

-
it’s been real, meddles. thanks for all the fun and further congratulations on your championship here. best wishes.
-
Congratulations to everyoe. It's been fun, but it's time for me to go. Good luck next year.
-
Congrats to Yordans and great job to everyone for another fun and competitive season.
-
Thanks guys! GGWP, all! I look forward to the massive retooling project I'm going to have this offseason as I cut spending faster than a real MLB team owner.
-
Yes, congrats! Also want to thank everyone for a fun league, but unfortunately we have to scale back on some teams and won't be returning next season. Feel free to abandon our team to find another owner, we can also stay on through arbitration if need be.

you can play any dodgers or padres in your lineup for those games. they will/can count.
-
So how is this going to work with the early start for the Dodgers and Padres. Will we be setting lineups prior to then or will we just lose those performances?

I'd like to get a date for the draft on the calendar as well.

Hi all, there is an opening in another league I’m in ($100 H2H FGPts) if anybody would be interested. Happy to discuss the H2H format, if needed. League 880 - The 40/40 Club, team is House of Learned Doctors. Thanks!

thank you for the congratulations. what a year. but what i'm most proud of is having our league produce three different champions in our first three years. seriously, next year it could be you, or you, or you! there's no time like the present.
a league update: we've already on boarded a couple of co-managers to take over Ghost Mago's team. they participate in our ottoneu football league. i'm more than certain they will be stellar additions to our league. a very warm welcome.
-
Congratulations to both Iron Butterfly and Aces Full! Very impressive seasons from both of you. I never thought I'd be pushing 19,000 points *and* locked into 3rd place for the last 2 months of the season!
-
We are in 4 points leagues, won two and were second in the other... this was our highest scoring team by a wide margin and we still were in second by 1000 points. Only stating that to illustrate the absolute monster season that Iron Butterfly had. Congratulations, looking forward to next year!

Congratulations to Iron Butterfly as well as well as Aces Full and Yordans. Good work!
-
Congrats on a helluva season, Iron Butterfly!
-
Hey All, thanks for another great season! Unfortunately, I won’t be returning next season as I’ve realized I’ve been trying to manage a few too many teams. Congrats to Iron Butterfly not only on the ‘ship, but also a 2nd place OPL finish. It’s been a pleasure playing with you all and maybe it’ll happen again one day in the future. Best, GMoT

All aboard the Mason Miller hype train!

I have interfaced with Chico’s Bail Bonds and can confirm that this was an honest mistake. He has communicated his intended cuts with me and I have unilaterally made the subtractions from his roster, penalty-free. The keeper deadline is now officially behind all 12 teams in our league. Thank you for understanding. In the near future, we will discuss our draft.
-
I hate this, but I accidentally missed my cuts because I passed out before the deadline after a long day. This happened to me in 4 leagues. I’m now begging that my league mates allow to make my cuts. I promise this was not intentional.
-
not yet.

Anyone interested in picking up another team? 4x4 daily league. Bit of a rebuild but has Tatis ($50), Tim Anderson ($24), Nate Lowe ($13), Melendez ($12), Hoerner ($8), Raleigh ($3). Been in the league a couple seasons and it’s solid with good people. Message me if interested.
