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

We are good for Feb 6 or 13, prefer a little later to accomodate Chad being on the west coast but Niv will cover if it needs to be earlier

February auction dates that work best for the vast majority of the league: Feb. 6, Feb. 8, Feb. 13, Feb. 15, Feb. 20, Feb. 27. Hawken, do you guys have a preference for a few of these days, so the league can get early auction content? I figure we can pick one day from your suggestions. We’ll settle on a time once we have the day selected.
-
For the folks who haven’t voted (Brad excluded), please fill out the auction-day survey by Sunday. This is the link: https://xoyondo.com/dp/VSCSkTW9RPf7wGB

Niv and I will update the survey tomorrow, but don't think we want to try to do this before the Jan 31 cut deadline - just no need to push forward that far. I asked for on the early side, but really anything in february would be good. earlier is better, but let's see what people can do.

As usual, pick a time and I'll either make it work or send a surrogate.
-
Is anyone up for a video call for the auction? I can set it up from my corporate Teams account.
-
Here's a link to vote on days: https://xoyondo.com/dp/VSCSkTW9RPf7wGB I ended the poll selection to roughly a week before Opening Day. We'll narrow this to a few dates, based on the poll, then find the exact day that works. Once we have the date set, we'll pick a time. I don't know the timeline Hawken needs, so please fill out the poll by Sunday.

Like I said in my league message last week, I was figuring we’d set a date after the keeper deadline. But if you guys want to do it now, I’ll post a scheduling thingy today. The past two years, we had a March 21 auction. But that sounds like it could be on the late side for people who need content.
-
Prefer days other than Monday, but can make it any night except Tuesday, unless it's after 8:00 Eastern.
-
Mondays are generally good for me!
-
We need to schedule a draft right? Last year we did a Monday evening at 7 pm ET. It would be great if we could get this in a little on the early side so that those of us in here who write or podcast can use it for content!

I’ve been meaning to post a magazine story I wrote a couple months ago that I thought you guys might like because it’s tangentially related to sports. https://www.5280.com/why-did-walter-springs-die/

Does anyone want to be involved in my 4,000th trade this offseason? Would take small-timers for Baty, Taveras, Turner or Verdugo.
-
I don't suppose anyone wants a flier Liam Hendriks? I've got a ton of excess value talent so I can package him up with other things to make it more enticing. Mostly need rosterable players in the $5 range. They don't need to be great.
-
A little reminder that the keeper deadline is Jan. 31. We'll begin setting an auction date a week or two after that. Last season, we did it on March 21. In 2021, we did the auction on... March 21.
-
I bought a Herman Miller Embody in February 2013. I am sitting on it right now. It is very good. Would recommend.

I still use a 10-year-old Amazon Basics chair because I can't stand the arms on anything else. Recently, I did have to add a Purple cushion ($90) which cost more than double the chair ($40). I've looked at the Herman Miller online but never quite pulled the trigger. It's a bizarrely stressful decision...
-
Off topic question, but I'm looking into a new office chair. Figured this league is full of individuals who do a lot of research, and a lot of sitting. Thinking of the Herman Miller Cosm high back; if any one has any insights or suggestions, let me know!
-
I made that deal on the road to New Mexico for a story. And thanks for worrying about my whereabouts.
-
Glad to see Robert has made a trade again, had been over a week, was getting worried he was abducted or something.
-
Division 1: Context, Realism, Project, Later
-
Divison 2: Overlord, Whiskey, Musgrove, Hand
-
Division 3: Hawks, Perm, Gurriel, Speedsters
-
I’ll take Brad’s Hand to round out the (best, most charming) division. Leaving Speedsters for the Hawks!
-
I will take Team To Be Named Later. Overlord is up.
-
We'll take Gurriel & Gurriel. Back to Out of Context!

I’ll take The Joe Musgrove On please and thank you. Hawks?
-
I'll select TLR's Retirement Project. Back to Overlord.
-
We'll take it's a perm. Back to Robert

I’ll take Daytime Whiskey for my division. Hawks, you’re up!
-
I select Madrigal Realism for my division. Team Dark Overlord picks next.
-
Hi, all: I hope you've had a wonderful, long weekend. We'll be starting our divisional-opponent draft on Monday. The order is 1. Context, 2. Overlord, 3. Hawks. Rounds two and three will also go in one, two, three order. I hope we can have the draft done by the end of the week, but it might end way sooner. (If a team is out of town—or whatever—this coming week, we also can extend a few days.) At the very least, I'll be making my pick on Monday.
-
I can't believe y'all looked at my roster and bid up Jackson Chourio.
-
We now can trade again. Have a great offseason. We will start our divisional “draft” sometime later this month.
-
Thanks to everyone for allocating their arbitration money . Good luck in 2023.
-
Only Madrigal, Perm and Speedsters are left for arbitration. The deadline is looming, so please get that done.
-
6 more days to finish arbitration. a few teams haven't done it yet - get to it!

I think there's at least one newer edition of the Omnibus, but this will have more than enough information to melt your brain - https://fantasy.fangraphs.com/ottoneu-arbitration-omnibus-v/
-
I know there are some new-to-Ottoneu players in here - if you have Ottoneu questions, feel free to ping me (Chad, not Niv) via PL Discord or FG Slack or whatever is easy. Happy to help!

BH's cuts have been made. Congrats to everyone on a successful year!
-
I love that the rule is being enforced. I've been in too many leagues where people stack up on players and then ride of the last day or two of the season. This is much fairer.
-
Seems fair enough. In that cast, Pivetta and Mead are my cuts.
-
Yes. Consider this still to be in-season. The point is to make sure all rosters followed roster rules through the end of the season. (BTW, this is Chad speaking on behalf of how I manage my leagues, so if anyone disagrees you can yell at me and not Niv and then Robert can mediate lol)

Does the usual $1 salary=$0 relief apply?
-
One more congrats from the Hawks for Robert! And also a reminder for that teams should end the season with legal rosters - that means Robert needs to make one cut and Brad needs to cut $8 of salary (to clear $4 in cap space). Anyone you cut can't be claimed at this point, so go crazy :)

The LEAGUE CHAMPION is allowed to make a messaging mistake. But just this once. I hope you all have a great off-season. My team is open for business as soon as we can begin making trades. Also, let's put together our three-team division draft for sometime in December. If any of you is ever in Denver, let's get lunch!
-
robert, i imagine this was not for this league? also congrats from the hawks!
