Great news! Welcome back Norm!!
-
We would like to welcome back the creator of this league. He has taken back the Norm Charlton team. Tim has been running the Norm Charlton team and will now take over Feel the Burnes.
Welcome back!
-
The keeper deadline has been moved to Feb 15.
We may move the draft day if the lockout effects the start of the season.
-
It looks like we need to be at 12 teams to be a prize league.
-
Any way we can step it up and upgrade the league so there is a payout?
-
Just a friendly reminder that the deadline to renew your team for 2022 is January 31st (though if possible please renew sooner!). Half of the teams have extended already.
If you are not planning to return please let me know ASAP so we can try to find a new manager ahead of that deadline to give them a chance to make a few moves if they want to.
-
Hi everyone. Team Riley's is looking to move Seager and chapman. Please reach out if you are interested.
-
Thanks for the heads up.
One thing I ask is that you Extend Your Dynasty (pay the $20) for this season. They are due by January 31.
Thanks.
-
FYI. After the 17th of the month, I’ll no longer be checking in unless it would be absolutely necessary. Otherwise, you will see me on draft day. Good luck you all.

You are on the Roster Organizer page. This page is set up to help when trying to calculate your balance for your roster. If you move a player to Trade or Cut they will not be counted in the salary or player count. This does NOT mean they are actually cut. No one else can see the moves you are making to prepare your roster. The salary box lets you put in a price for that player lost in arbitration. Reminder you will get a $5 credit if you successfully bid for him in the auction draft.
-
....follow up to previous Q. I realize that the player highlighted in red is the guy that was voted off my team during arbitration now, but does it matter what I enter into the editable salary field now, is that the starting bid, or does that only start once the draft starts?
-
What does it mean if a player has their name in red and their salary is in and editable box?
-
Happy New Year and welcome to all of the new managers.
Perham, thank you for all of this info on how the offseason works, it is very much appreciated.
Forgive my inactivity thus far, just learning and have been hesitant to act since I am not familiar with all of the rules. I am learning, and aim to be more active in the next few weeks. Good luck all and hopefully the CBA will be agreed to soon!
-
A couple more notes on the keeper deadline.
1) Depending on when the CBA is agreed to, Ottoneu may be extending the deadline into Februrary.
2) In order to participate in the spring auction you will need to have your team salary below $400.
After trades and cuts, if you have a roster of 29 players and a team salary of $325. You will have up to $75 for 11 players to fill your roster at the auction. It may be a good idea to keep a little roster money in reserve for free agents du
-
Just a reminder to all owners. The keeper deadline is Jan 31.
You need to have team salary below the $400 cap. Any cuts made after Jan 31 will have the Salary cap penalty (penalty is 1/2 of player's salary for 30 days).
Any questions, just send me a message.

Welcome to all the new people in this league! I apologize for my lack of response to all the trade offers I have received. I'm still certainly trying to figure things out yet. Have a blessed New Year!!!

Hi Everyone. Glad to join the league. Instead of spamming everyone with trades to get Bauer off my team, I figured I'd post here. If you are interested at all, and you'd like to roll the dice on whether he comes back or not, send me some offers. I am not a fan of his. any reasonable offer considered. Especially interested in RP or back of rotation SPs . Thanks
-
We have found another owner to fill the Kuhl as a Cucumber team. Let's welcome Andrew to the league! Still looking for at least one more owner.
-
Arb results are in.
We are able to trade until the end of January. We also have to the end of January if you want to make any roster cuts before the draft. I don't believe there is a Cap Penalty for these cuts.
Reminder: the player voted off is a Restricted Free Agent for you. When that play comes up for bid at the auction you will get a $5 refund if you win the bid. For example, if I win Juan Soto for $76 he will appear on my roster for $71 and the $5 will be put back in my availabl

We have a new owner taking over for the Sod Poodles. From everyone I have heard from we are looking for two more. I am still waiting on one owner to get back to me. I believe the league will be a go for this year. Thanks to everyone for getting back to me. Enjoy the year.

I see we are down to 5 teams yet to vote. It takes about 10 minutes to make your picks. Thank You for your time.

I’ll be back next year

Arbitration was pretty easy, just tough to choose who to vote offI Definitely takes some time to research, but it was interesting and fun to do--glad I got my first one under my belt. Glad to see you on here Norm C! Good luck all-I'm anxious to see how the votes end up-good luck all!

Hey guys. Just logging in for the first time in five months. Very sorry. Had a kid in the hospital for a significant portion of the year beginning in June. I did just make Perham Northsiders a commish.

The arb process is pretty simple. Click on Arb Voting. Bring up a team and vote for a player to be removed from that team. Go to next team and do the same.
Consider the following when casting your vote:
1. The player with the most value/surplus.
2. The player that you want available in the auction.
3. The best player on the team.
If you want a player back in the auction, the best way is to hope that they are voted off and become an RFA.

4 days left for arbitration- Go to the league page and click on Arb Voting. Please vote!

Here is a little blurb I found in the Community forum. (Not sure the links are active but you should be able to copy the address into your browser)
This is a must read resource for everyone new to ottoneu arbitration or veterans looking for strategy tips all in one place: https://www.fangraphs.com/fantasy/ottoneu-arbitration-omnibus-iv/ In addition, here is a podcast episode we recorded last October detailing arbitration: http://www.podcastgarden.com/episode/ep-2-arbitration-preview_62963

I’m sure eventually I’ll figure it out! 🤔😆

I have read up on the arbitration and definitely want to play again next year, but I’m just not 100% clear on what I’m supposed to do-
-
Arbitration starts tomorrow so even if anyone is thinking about not playing it would be pretty cool if you could participate in that for the health of the league. That way our league is more appealing to anyone considering jumping in later.

I could be back. It was interesting and now I know more of how it works. Knowing guys in A-AAA is a bit out of my league. Thanks for a good year though guys.
-
Perham plans on being back. Gotta run through an off season and see how this works out.
-
Hey everyone, curious to know who is planning g on coming back and renewing for next year? If everyone is back I'm in too but year 2 tends to be the make or break for a lot of leagues so hoping people had fun and are interested in running back now that everyone got a taste of ottoneu. Either way, fun times playing with you all.

Thank you Perham! It came down to the last game on Sunday and I only won by 10 points! Great battle—-I really enjoyed the entire season and look forward to playing again next year.
-
Congrats to AttackThe Baseball. Well played! Great decisions last week on the pitchers. I enjoyed this year. Hope to see everyone back next year.
-
It is great to see the top two team battling it out. Last week the point difference was 2.03. Just keep it up for the home stretch guys!

Cap does not roll over to next year. Your players if you choose to keep them will be kept at their current value though so you'll have to choose if you want keep them or let them go but yes there will be another suction next year for all non kept players. Every league does an "arbitration" to figure out how keepers are handled. Some leagues allocate extra $ to players to ensure teams pay an extra price to keep players and some leagues due a vote off. We are a vote off which I have nev

Hello league. I have a question for the veterans of this league. Do the cap penalties (or anything for that matter)that you incur this season have any bearing on next season? Next season do we start completely from scratch with the Auction Draft again? Thanks
-
If anyone is interested in working out a trade, I have a good deal of prospect capital and could really use some relief pitching. Let me know.
