The white flag has been waived. Hit me up. Everything must go.
-
It's crazy to see how tight the league is right now. This should make for a great second half! What a fun league!
-
To second what Legends has already said, we are in 5 different leagues and can safely say this is a practice used across all of Ottoneu. For example, in another league we are in, Jose Abreu was signed for $15, cut twice by his original team, which reduced his price to $4. At that point, we jumped in and signed him as it was a lower risk move. If he was never reauctioned, I’m not sure we would have jumped at $8. This isn’t a loophole, but rather keeps the player pool moving
-
And those guys (eligible for reauction and recut) are on the rosters page highlighted in bold. Just an FYI for anyone who hasn’t checked that in a while.
-
One “strategy” built into it is that after 30 days you can reauction guys you had cut. So instead of being on the hook for the full penalty of a cut player, you can reauction them and then cut them again, effectively reducing the penalty in half. (Like I just did with Meadows).
-
Not too clear on what you mean by oddity, but the system is setup to keep weekly streamers corralled, and forces you to actually manage a roster within a set salary. I like it. I mean you can stream if you like, but eventually your dollars run out. A good draft and well thought out trades are important, and the loans in or out allows for some creativity depending on where you're at for the current season. Maybe you can share some specifics to further the discussion?
-
This add/drop strategy is odd to me. Its gaming the system in a while at that seems odd for a league like ours. Anyone have thoughts on this?

Commish Note: Mistake drop by ohtani that I corrected. All is well now.
-
I have a ton of starting pitching, looking for a top end rp
-
haha I'm thinking the same thing. Team is starting strong, let's see how far I fall from here!
-
Hey Brewjays, it’s a long season, pace yourself
-
Looking to trade some of my minor league studs for some ML hitters. Please let me know if you are interested

I think you'll do just fine against me. Seems like I tried to assemble to weakest fantasy OF of all time.
-
Good luck to everyone this season and week 1, though I’d prefer to outscore Chicos BB for this week! :D
-
Best day of the year!

It's finally opening day fellas!!! Good luck to everyone in this 3rd season of Erebor! woooohooooo
-
Season nears! Reminder that the first matchup has a 9 Games Started limit for SP even though it's a longer week than normal. So choose your starts wisely!
-
Okay. I think the rosters are live. DOUBLE CHECK your rosters. I have come across 6 errors from the import. So double check that you were given all the right guys! I think the league should be live now, so I think you can make cuts, trades, and put guys up for waiver auctions now. Message me know if you see any errors!
-
Looking forward to it! My team looks pretty solid from the get go...be afraid...be very afraid! lol. I threw my team into the Prestige league this year also
-
Have a great season everyone!!! Balls Deep, we are gunning for you!!! ;)
-
Thanks Commish! Good luck everyone
-
Looks like everyone is (nearly) done (or good with a couple open spots). Later today I'll get the rosters ported over to Ottoneu. At that point, cuts, trades, waiver auctions, etc. will all be open!
Reminder to review the rules for the season. One rule that matters for a couple weeks is V.b: "If two teams are tied -or the regular season has not begun yet-, a coin flip will determine who is awarded the player."
-
The auction is live! Head on over to Couch Managers. Remember that it's a 12 hour reset with each new bid. Let me know if you have any questions. Good luck everyone!
-
Plan is to fire up the draft around 9 a.m. EST on Monday, March 13. So make sure that you're ready to check on CM then!
-
Get ready! Looks like the rosters imported over with only a couple errors (now fixed). Log in to Couch Managers to check your rosters and start planning. Reminder that the "Ohtani, Pitcheronly" CANNOT be drafted even though he's in the pool. We will start with 2 noms per team, 12 hour time limit. It will reset back to 12 hours with every new bid. CouchManagers has a 40-man limit. So even if you have extra on Ottoneu because of IL....you'll max at 40 for our draft and have to waiver guy
-
So to start on Monday next week, we need everyone to go pre-register for the Couch Managers draft! I think you can register here, with password being "erebor3" (no quotes): https://www.couchmanagers.com/auctions/?auction_id=515

Sounds good
-
Works for me as well
-
Works for me too
-
Works for me
-
fine with me
-
Last years format is fine with me
-
I am good with that, as well. Really looking forward to it!
-
We are good with using last year's format
-
Tentative start date for the CouchManagers slow draft will be around 9 a.m. EST on March 13th.
In total, we have about 150 players to draft. Last year we started with two nominations per team, 12 hour time limit (where it resets to 12 hours for each new bid). So that made for roughly 24 players up for auction at a time.
Then after about 50 players were drafted, we moved to 3 nominations per team (roughly 36 players ran at a time).
Do we want to run it bac
-
Everyone is renewed and cuts have been made! Draft prep season begins! Draft will likely start March 13. Good luck to everyone and enjoy (or loathe) our break from baseball now!
-
Tentative start date for our slow draft will be Monday, March 13. We have someone who can't really start until then, and I want to push it up a week or so because of the earlier season start date compared to last year.
-
Happy cut deadline day! Remember that all cuts are due by 11:59 EST.
-
So just a heads up, we will be using Couch Managers again (like last year) for our auction. Last year we started on Saturday, March 19th, so I would guess we will just start it around there (maybe this year Saturday, March 18th). So make your final cuts and then either relax or grind researching players until mid March. Exciting times!
-
After two disappointing seasons, I am abandoning my team... name. I will now be known as HGH This Sucka!
-
I will be back, my team will look almost exactly the way it does now
-
I have stressed the renewals lately, but reminder that the cut deadline is also January 31. Pretty soon we will know what teams look like and who will be available at the March auction!
-
Reminder! You have two weeks until your league dues need to be paid in order to ensure that you don't lose access to your team. Thank you to the 4 managers who have already reupped and are ready for 2023!
You can pay those dues on the ottoenu dashboard! Message me with any questions!
-
Hey all, I was messaged by one of the parties to undo the trade as it was not sent as intended. Given the immediacy of the request and nothing involving real-life trades or injuries affecting it, I have canceled the trade.
-
Happy 2023 to everyone. I see the trade market is still active and the stove is piping hot. Reminder that January 31st is both the KEEPER deadline and also the RENEW YOUR DUES deadline. So please make sure to be ready for both at end of month.
You can renew your team from your user dashboard: https://ottoneu.fangraphs.com/userdashboard.

I know we have some passionate Canadians in our league. Who wants to take on Canadian born and face of the Blue Jays, Vlad Jr? Hit me up, lets make a deal!
