LOL. Always hope everyone has fun when they get together.
-
Thanks, that was easy. This Mills guy takes back all the bad things he’s ever said about Perham 🤪. It is good to see everyone helping out. Now, who do I cut to bid on Albies 🤔
-
Near the top of the lineup page there is a link for "Two-way players require extra steps." Since Cronenworth is pitcher eligible he is treated as a two-way player. Hope that helps.
-
Why can I not put Cronenworth into a positional spot yet? Seems strange to me. In one area I look up, he comes up as a pitcher? Not sure of how long they need to play in one position to become eligible. Still trying to figure things out, like most of us, if you could not tell from my first message attempt 😁. Thanks

Cronenworth

I agree with KYKopperHeads; it is frustrating to do some research and then lose a guy on the blind bid process. But the Vickrey auction system is supposed to give a truer value of the players. I guess I need to spend a little more. ;)
I have lost a couple of guys, but I enjoy the process. Just something to get used to.
I am glad most of us are rookies to this league as we learn together. It has been enjoyable so far.

From what I can tell, the highest bid gets the player. Once you place a player up for nomination, you can change what your highest bid will be. I'm indifferent with the process. On one hand, I do like that its not the one who is the fastest to the waiver wire is the one who gets the player. Looking back, it would have been nice to save a little more salary cap at the end of the draft. Two weeks in, its been a fun season!

*wish there was an app

When you nominate a FA, I guess there is no way of telling if you are outbid? The highest bid gets the player once the waiver period is over, correct? I love the league but don’t like how you nominate players based on your research and the just bring them to everyone else’s attention and then lose the player without realizing you have been outbid. It’s going to take a bit to get used to. Having fun with the league, but also with there was an app.

I played Grandal at 1B, he was C in the box score and I received the points earned for that day.
-
Maybe a dumb question...do the players need to play the EXACT position I have them starting in to get points? Example...Chris Taylor is eligible for 2B, SS and OF. If he plays in OF in real life, but I have him slotted to 2B, do I still get the points?

...hoping someone grabs him and I get that $ back or I can then roster that player at the lower cost. If a player gets hurt you can keep doing this to get your $ back...auction for him then cut him again.

I cut the player because I over spent in the draft and wanted more $ to spend through out the year. When you cut a player you save half the money you spent in the draft (ie: 14 becomes 7 - 15 becomes 8). If someone claims the player in waivers then they assume 100% of the cost. If no one claims the player anyone can start an auction for that player at the 50% value. I can not start the auction for that player for 30 days though. If after 30 days nobody has done that I can start an auction...

Sod - saw you cut someone. How does that impact the salary for that player and for your team? Heads up....I will be asking a lot of dumb questions like this.

Sounds good, Sod. Let's plan on 7 ET Sunday, 8 ET Monday so you don't need to rush out of work.
If any of you have done Otto. drafts before, feel free to send me a PM to give advice on how to keep it all moving. Otherwise, I ask for everyone's grace as we go through this. I have been looking at Ottoneu every spring for years and finally decided to take the plunge this year.

First night is good for me but the second night can we push it back to 7:30E? I'm on the West coast and I can't get off that early from work.

Ok by me
-
Draft times sound good in this end
-
That sounds good to me
-
No objections here.
-
Works for me
-
This is my first year and playing Ott. and I am studying up on the draft. The recommendation is to split it into two sessions because a new league can take a very long time to get through bidding.
What would you all think of Sunday and Monday evenings, 3/28-3/29? Start at 7 pm eastern each night?

Any time up to Apr 1 works for me.
-
I am pretty flexible, Mar 31 at 9 pm is fine with me
-
Ok, eight of ten teams have joined. Any feedback on our draft day? I intentionally did it late on the night before Opening Day. Does this work for you? Or do you need this moved? I am willing to stay up late to make the time work for sure, or can make a window this coming weekend work as well!

Hey gang - draft time is negotiable. We will set it in stone once the league is full.
