Happy Opening Day to everyone. Best of luck this season.

"Ariel resigns as HC of TTBNL." -Bill Belichick
-
(maybe I should send that to him instead of a message board for a league he isn't in)
-
Boo. Suck it up Ariel, it's a staff league, not the Main Event. You don't have to be at your peak game.
-
Bad news, Ariel had a change of mind after he realized that we do daily lineups. Chad and I will put out a call shortly, but in the mean time Ariel will unfortunately not be joining this league. Not yet, at least :) - N

That's great on both counts - welcome Ariel!
-
Team to be Named Later had to bail on us because of an excellent development in his professional life. Ariel Cohen and Reuven Guy (I think) will co-manage this team. Please welcome these two newcomers to the league.
-
If you plan to throw your hat in this ring, now's the time before I accept a pile of children.

Hey folks! Just a quick reminder that this league is OPL eligible. If you finished 6th or above last season you can enter your squad to compete across all of Ottoneu in a super fun best ball format. Check out the rules & enter a squad here: https://ottoneu.fangraphs.com/opl/

Just for clarity, an offer should be worth more than $81 since that's what cutting him is worth. You're getting a top 5 ppg performer and a huge loan. If you're worried about the recent injury history, at worst you can get a ton of money in return.
-
With OD approaching, still fielding offers for Trout.
-
Y'all remember I have a Mike Trout available, right?
-
I'm "rebuilding" which mostly means my pitchers, Trout, Matt Olson, and Juan Soto are available for suitable hauls. For the Trout/Soto types, wanting multiple of guys like Vinnie P., Elly DLC, etc. $10 or under, big ceiling types. I will cover most of a loan, but I will need a little extra cash to work with in-season. Planning to spread out these sales so I can evaluate players over time.
-
Fifteen minutes to auction time.
-
I might be a minute or two late depending on the vagaries of my dog walk, but please start without me if I'm not there, I'll be very close to 5:30 PT if not right on the nose.
-
btw, if I happen to not be on time (I probably will be), you should start without me. I'm sure I won't be picking up any players until 10pm.
-
This is your reminder that the auction is Monday at 8:30 p.m. Eastern. Make sure you're in the draft room on time so it's not an even later night for those on the East.
-
Eli this is cool, thanks for doing this. Could you tag me as @ottoneu on Twitter? Sharing on the message board for anyone else who wants to tag my Twitter in anything. Thanks! - Niv

Thanks, Eli!
-
Great job, Eli. Thanks for doing that.
-
https://elibenporat.substack.com/p/b9aa0be7-af97-47ad-be3e-d4d4da2a9bb3 I think I have everyone's name + twitter handle (except Pete). Please review and let me know if I got yours wrong.
I'm hoping this can promote Ottoneu a little. Going to post around 4PM on Monday.
-
Thanks for getting that done quickly. All cuts now will receive financial penalties.
-
Thank you! Looking forward to competing. Cuts are in!
-
Welcome Alex!
-
Alex Eisert is the new Speedsters owner. Welcome to the club, Alex. He'll have a few days to make penalty-free cuts, so be on the lookout for his drops when you're doing your auction rankings.
-
I think we're only waiting on The Speedsters to make cuts. Get those in within the hour!
-
Looks like I'm cutting Moncada, Morton, McCullers, Buehler, Taillon, Civale, and Means among others, all of whom I expecting to cost at least $5 more in auction. Last call.
-
Lovely owners: Make sure you have your cuts in by Tuesday at 11:59 p.m. Anyone cut after that will count as a cap penalty.
-
On the flip side, I'm looking to make my 83rd trade this offseason. I you are bummed about releasing a guy and not getting someone in return, drop me a note. Maybe we can work out a trade.
-
I'm here these next two days for my yearly trade. Trout's available in a wide range of scenarios and I'm drowning in well-priced premium pitchers: McCullers, Buehler, and Morton in the mid-teens and Gray, Singer, Means, Irvin, Civale Taillon, Suarez, Turnbull, and Paxton in the single digits. Also don't have a spot for all 3 of Devers, Suarez, and Moncada (rather not deal Devers). Need a SS and a couple OFers.
-
I’m fine with it. I might be cooking dinner or folding laundry, though.
-
We're good with it! Sounds fun

Unless someone has an objection to me doing it, I'd like to live stream the auction. I usually stream Chess with my oldest, but this should be fun. Might even be a tiny smidge of promotion for Ottoneu.
-
Seeing no one else had an opinion, we’ll do the auction at 8:30 p.m. ET on Feb. 6.
-
I'll give this another day, to let everyone have a chance to get their opinion known.
-
Good with 8:30
-
8:30 PM EST is a good starting time for me, but can make any time work.
-
I (Chad) can't start until about 8:30 pm ET but I assume Niv could be available before that.

That general timeframe works for me - I can be flexible.
-
i would prefer slightly earlier, maybe 7:30-8ish start time, but i'll make it work no matter what
-
It seems like Feb. 6 is best. Would 8:30 p.m. ET be OK for everyone?
-
Feb 6 works for me.
-
Feb 6th is fine with me
-
Feb 6 works for me. The 13th would be extremely difficult for me to attend.
-
I can do either
-
I can make either of those days work as well.
-
any of those dates should work for me, although i know i have family coming into town mid-feb. so the earlier the better probably. 6th seems ideal.
-
I can make either date, so Feb. 6 is good for me.
-
And to clarify further, we prefer Feb 6th for the Content Creators out there.

To clarify: prefer later time (830 or 9 pm ET) not the later date.
