GTwon has saddled up!
-
Remember Domingo German? A perfect game. And where is he now. A MLB pitcher can get it all together at least once I figure.
-
Blanco brilliant!

Blanco?

Hickmans are the leader for Sunday
-
Roca, Geezer and Maple are the top three heading into today.
-
Geezer and Hudson both went over 200 yesterday, as Geezer ascends toward his rightful place as ruler of our league.
-
Great news! I am not last in the OPL.
-
200 for Maple Bats yesterday
-
And I am always willing to go down in flames ....
-
Until yesterday I actually had negative points, so happy to pass the torch to you Bruce.
-
I had a great start. Only teams below me did not post lineups ...
-
Opening day saw Roca go over the magic number of 200. Roca also, at least for one day, leads the OPL. His secret was 5 quality SPs in one day, so do not expect him to do this often.
-
Vancouver and GTown need to put players into the game tomorrow.
-
The REAL Opening Day has arrived. Good luck to all!
-
To Larry's point, you can go to your roster page and see who gets left out if you are over 40 players. It's on the right.
-
For those in OPL also note you only get OPL points for the 40 players who you have roistered longest so if to have extra slots due to 60 day DL and use those extra slots to add active player that players stats will not count for OPL. Will, however, count in league play. This is rule is so everyone in OPL competes with same size rosters.
-
For the new owners, a reminder that when you have a player on the 60IL or suspended, it opens a roster slot while that player in on the list. If you still have cash, you can pick up an additional player. Teams will be adding players to the 60IL this week, so you might get openings to pick up more players.
-
So, my elite pitchers are dropping like flies. If they cannot get out of the preseason, then this is going to be one slog for 2024. Down 5 pitchers already.
-
I was thinking about Yamamoto's performance. Do you think he threw it to help out Ohtani's friend who was a little deep in the hole? I mean, that performance is one that a bet could make a decent return as no-one else would be that far on that side of the line.
-
Having attended many games when living in Japan, I have little faith in there being a successful transition of Japanese pitchers from there to the MLB. That is a lower ERA than I expected ...
-
Let’s hope Yamamoto leaves a better 2nd impression… 1 inning, ERA 45.00

I spoke to soon....Portland held onto 2nd, Beef moves into 3rd.
-
After day 2, Roca takes the lead, with Freshmeat down to 2nd and Portland down to 3rd. Now things will be quiet until Opening Day.
-
After day 1, Brandon, then Graeme, then Tyler.
-
C'mon ... go for the shirt! Think about it. Group photos.
-
Brandon and Joe are also eligible for OPL and the $80 t-shirt.
-
I guess I'll do it for the $80 t-shirt.
-
Good job Bruce! Any others. like Stephen?
-
I signed up for OPL. Hard to pass up the attractive T shirt offer ... Probably a year earlier than I had planned, but hey, there is that T shirt ...
-
One last reminder of the Dodgers vs Padres tomorrow at 0600 ET. They also play on THUR, then no games until the real opening day. If you have a Dodger or Padre, you might want to double check your line up today.
-
The draft is finished. Remember there is a game this week!
-
Hey Geezer, sure .... Bauer, Marte, even Cole. Plenty if scrap ....
-
Tyler, can you send me the VC link again. Apologies.
-
I am going to have to miss the draft. Please save me some scraps for the waiver wire. Thx. :)
-
Our draft is tomorrow. If you wish to join the VC and have NOT received an invite, DM me and I will send to your preferred email. Good luck in your final day of preparation.
-
One week until our draft!
-
We have two signed up for OPL. Stephen, Brandon, Bruce, Joe? want to throw away $50 but get the right to buy a cool shirt? Larry won his shirt (for making the final 32), but this year you can buy with a discount even if you don't make the final 32.
-
OPL entry is open for those who finished in top 6 last season.
-
I have sent a teams invite to all for a VC to be held during the draft. The purpose is to enhance the ability to smack talk over the chat box in the draft room. If you did not receive, check your spam. If you still can't find let me know by DM on this platform, and I can send to another address.

I will send a teams invite for our draft for those that prefer that to the chat box on the draft page. If you would like me to send the invite to an email different than the one you use for the league, send me a 1:1 message on this app.
-
Spring training starts for early birds today!
-
The first pitcher & catcher report date for spring training is this Friday (2/9). It's starting!

As the Commish was aware before I joined, I will be overseas on Draft Day and so unsure of whether I will be available for the draft with time differences and travel. As this is a rebuilding year, I am aware the leftovers may not be great, but it should shorten the auction time for you all. I will probably have to do accommodate trades/salary during the year .
-
Another good resource is Chad Young's annual Ottoneu player rankings. Chad is one of the original Ottoneu players from the very first league. He ranks players by position based on their Ottoneu value and gives ranges for what he thinks they are worth. Here is the link to this years pitcher rankings, the other positions are linked on the same page: https://fantasy.fangraphs.com/chads-2024-tiered-ottoneu-rankings-starting-pitchers/
-
For those interested a good draft prep resource is the average salaries page. Click players on the tool bar and then average salaries on the far right. Once on that page set for Fangraphs Points. This sortable page will show you median and average salaries for all players across all leagues plus the price paid in the previous 10 auctions. This can give you a rough idea how much you may want to bid for a particular player at auction.
-
Good job everyone! Another year without Commish intervention at the keeper deadline. There are 112 open roster spots and $876 in unallocated salary. Typically, we spend less than 1 minute/player in the draft...so the 2hr estimate is still valid. Good luck in your planning between now and the draft.
-
Based on open roster spots at this point, I expect our draft will take about 2 hrs.
-
Looks like Portland, Gtown and Beef are going to bully the rest of us at auction at the moment.
-
Thanks Larry! It looks like everyone is good to go for the keeper deadline (paid and legal rosters). There may be more drops by midnight ET but everyone is good to go.
