Is there a way to see my votes? I voted right away but can't remember when. I am probably a minority but I prefer to draft as late in Spring Training as possible. I know many don't like to do it that late though.
-
Just a reminder to fill out the draft time poll if you haven’t already.
I would ask that everyone select all times that you could possibly make (not just the best/preferred times). Right now, with 8 responses, there are no times in the entire month+ period that work for more than 6 people. I will follow up about dates that have the fewest conflicts, but I’m hoping there’s a day that can work for everyone.
Another option (if there is no date that works for everyone) would be a slow dr

And I'd also like to start looking for a draft time. I've set up a "when is good" poll here: https://whenisgood.net/bqksiwk
Please select all dates that work for you - I'm hoping we can find a time that works for everyone. Thanks!

Reminder that the keeper deadline is Jan 31. Rosters need to be cut down and under the cap by that time. I believe Ottoneu fees are due at that time as well (if you haven't already paid for the 2023 season).

Yes, absolutely! Just wanted to send a general reminder out to everyone as I was getting my own roster legal ( there was a flurry of auctions at the end)

And in Durham's defense, the Jays reinstated Nate Pearson 2 days ago from the 60-day IL, so it's likely a passive illegality, not an active manipulation of the rules

Yup, that's all good. The only team currently showing up as invalid is Durham.

Gotcha - so being at 43/44 players (and under $400) is fine since they have the 60/SUSP designation? Or am I that 12th team?
-
I think this would be covered under section I.B or I.C of the rules, but it is also best practice from what I've gathered on the community forums and ottoneu slack group. (Just to avoid people rostering 20+ extra people on the last day, not that that was an issue for this league)
Blue Jays on

To clarify - rosters should be legal as of the end of the season (to avoid people ending a bunch of auctions right before the end of season deadline and going way over cap/roster limits) - not necessarily down to 40 players or $400 right now. So 11 of 12 teams are legal right now.

Great job Windy.
Relating to the offseason - from everything I can see in the rules, rosters don't need to be legal until after the drop deadline (and subsequent auction). Am I missing something?
-
Congrats Windy. You did a great job.
-
Thanks for a fun and challenging season! My goal was to take a 2-win team to the.playoffs. Thrilled to wind up on top. Many thanks to the previous owner for acquiring Verlander and Witt.

Congrats Windy on the win. Thanks all for a great season.
If anyone does not plan on being back next year, please let me know.
And just a reminder for everyone to get your rosters legal as we head in to the offseason. Arbitration starts on Oct 15.
Thanks!

Top of the cap to the teams who should've made the playoffs over me. My squad was just not in the right phase to compete yet. Good luck to the winners next week!

Good luck to all the teams in the playoffs. Too bad that my team choked in the second to last week. But Crazy Birds deserved to finish on top in the division anyway with a lead of 1.000 points overall. Can't wait for 2023.

Happy to be a part of it. There were better teams that didn't make it this year, but Ill see what I can do with the opportunity! Good luck to you

Also just a reminder: In two-week playoff games, the GS cap will reset at the end of the first week and before the second week begins on the second Monday in the matchup.

I'm looking to add SS depth. Let me know if you have a SS you're willing to sell (I've sent some offers out too).

Just a reminder to all since I just checked today (correct me if I'm wrong) but next scoring period spans roughly a week and a half, but still has 10 GS cap. Plan accordingly.

Jacob DeGrom is available and I’m willing to pay his salary for the rest of the year. Send those offers my way. Looking for SP depth.

That’s my understanding.
For future, I don’t think the site will allow proposing trades when in an illegal state (similar to how it doesn’t allow setting lineups), so hopefully it won’t be an issue.
Blue Jays on

I wasn't keeping up with this this morning, just so I know for myself for future reference...
Was the issue that a trade processed after he had won an auction that put him into illegal roster? And because the trade was proposed before that auction closed, we're good?
I'm fine with all that and thinks it makes sense, just want to make sure I understand what was in question in case it is relevant again
-
I didn’t realize the offer predated the auction win.
Old Dogs on

Niv says the trade was proposed 2 days prior to to auction ending so it’s legal. I stand corrected.
Old Dogs on
June 12, 2022 12:44 PM

Rule v(d) prevents proposing trades, but previously-proposed trades (and bids and set lineups) will still process - rule 1(b).
I think rule 1(b) is also what Rearden is referring to (how long can a team remain in an invalid state after winning an auction) - I agree that we can decide on this as a league/ have a league vote. I’d be hesitant to set it as less than 12 or even 24 hours, understanding people sometimes have real life commitments, but I’d be good with whatever the league
Blue Jays on

Here’s the rule: “Teams are allowed to bid such that they would go over roster or cap limits if they win the auction. If they do win the auction, they will have to get under roster and cap limits before they can set their lineups, make trades, or bid on other auctions”
Old Dogs on
June 12, 2022 12:41 PM
-
Based on the conversations I have heard (podcast mainly) in the past, I'd assume Niv would defer to the league to settle first. My vote would be to ensure the team is legal before the trade processes, but I don't see reason to rescind the trade unless the team consistently in violation.
-
Blue Jays are in violation of Ottoneu rule V, section d. You need to rescind the trade and cut until your roster is valid. If you disagree we can ask Niv.

Ouch - I was disappointed by 4 separate pitcher starts with a negative number but golly...
-
Good thing I had Cole to dig me out of that....oh.
-
I lost last week by 9 points...driven partly by a terrible performance by Chisholm and a benched start by Grey. So I swapped...and sat 2 HRs from Jazz today, and currently have -12 pts through my first 3 starts...
Right there with ya, brotha...
-
Unlucky. That’s like the hitter equivalent of benching a no-hitter
Blue Jays on
June 4, 2022 12:58 PM

Remember that time that I benched a player, and cut him on a night that he he hit 3 HRa and put 40 points on the board?
-
Correct, unless someone else picks them up, or until the season ends
-
Quick question - once a player's cap penalty has reduced to $1, it can't go any lower, correct?
-
This is an imperfect tool because it’s designed for redraft roto leagues, but when I get a trade offer I like to run it through the 5X5 OBP setting to see how it stacks up to my perception.

2nd and 3rd division winners play each other in 1st round of the playoffs with the winner assured at least 2nd place and a profit. Get some!

Standings look like we play with relegation in European soccer. There is clearly a first, second and third division.

Some good playoff races shaping up! Although the differences between the divisions so far is pretty crazy
