PSA (part 5) - there's no particular rush, but I appreciate your attention to this and feedback. I believe the league will work best if I listen to any and all opinions and then make a commissioner decision and/or sponsor a vote, as appropriate, to ensure that we have as clear of rules as possible and are all enjoying the league. Luckily for me, Ottoneu doesn't actually leave much for me to do in the way of rules. Thank you
-
PSA (part 4) - once we are solidly in the offseason, there are no salary cap or roster limit rules and I am ok with that. If people make an offseason trade that increases their salary or roster size, it just has to be fixed by the keeper deadline in the spring.
-
PSA (part 3) - therefore, I propose that for all moves in-season and until 48 hours after the season ends (when last day auctions conclude), there will be a 48 hours deadline to fix your roster so that it fits within in-season roster limits/salary cap rules. If a roster is illegal after 48 hours, I will reverse the move that made it illegal......
-
PSA (part 2) - apparently there is the opportunity for someone to claim a ton of players or a ton of salary that puts them over the limits and just let their roster lock until the offseason, thus allowing them the advantage of heading into the offseason with more players or salary than Ottoneu dictates in-season. I don't personally believe that that type of exploitation of the website rules to horde players is in the best spirit of the league....
-
PSA (part 1) - something has come to my attention that I would like to clarify and confirm consensus on. To my knowledge, you cannot pickup players during the offseason, although you can trade and you can initiate auctions up to the last day of the season. Ottoneu message boards discuss a potential exploitation of roster management rules. As people should know, the website locks your roster if you are over the salary cap or roster limit.....

Bangers let me know right away of an accidental drop and I fixed as soon as I could
-
Public Service Announcement - if you have dropped a player that wasn't picked up and now is giving you a cap hit of $2 or more, after 30 days you are allowed to nominate that player for auction again. If someone picks them up, you wipe away the cap hit. If you end up picking him up, you can drop them again right away which cuts your cap hit by 50% again. More explanation is in the rules, but I saw this on message boards as strategy for minimizing cap hits

Hello - Bunch Bangers and Pocketful of Aces contacted me regarding an issue with their trade yesterday (after the trade was accepted but before it processed) and the issue was resolved today where it was agreed upon that the accepted trade was not meant to be proposed (it was sent by mistake). I have therefore reversed the trade to the satisfaction of both teams. Thank you,
Ben

If the MLB is truly serious about cracking down on pitchers using “Sticky stuff” it will truly change the game as we have known it for the past several years as did the steroid era.
-
also didnt see the texting group. I'd be happy to join. (408)973-1201
-
sounds good! I appreciate the flexibility and use of common sense!
-
Ugh, that sucks. Please all consider this a notification and warning that if you don't have 40 players, $1 for each open roster spot counts against your cap. I won't reverse moves anymore if you fail to account for this now that we're making a point to notify everyone. That being said, if someone contacts me "immediately" following a move and tells me that it was an accident (i.e., hit the wrong button, kid got my phone, etc.) I will reverse as long as nothing fishy is evident. mistake
-
I have no problem with it you can do whatever you wish.
But the same thing happened to me last year and I wound up having to drop seven players to get underneath the cap so I know how frustrating it is.
-
FYI - VinSkully contacted me within minutes of dropping Danny Jansen because it triggered an error with him being over the cap. He is still learning the roster management rules in that you have to reserve a dollar per open roster spot. On account of this being an honest mistake due to rules learning curve and it seems quite unimpactful, I'm just going to undo his drop. If anyone has issues with this, please let me know within 48 hours and we'll have a simple majority vote as to my action

I'm in Canada, but happy to join in discussion. Mine is 647 818 8461

I'd join the text group! (647) 261-8370

About 6 of us have a group text going for baseball chatter outside of the league message board. If you’d like to be added and/or would like your phone number available for trade discussions via texting, you can post here. My number is 510.520.9238 if anyone wants to text about trades, the league, etc
-
Jeffers and Ramos are available for those who may be interested but don’t check the block
-
Stop. The. Count.
-
I just realized ottoneu has two C slots, but the max number of games for C is still 162. I like this system!
-
is it just me or is the fangraphs homepage not loading properly?
-
If you want to remove someone from your trade block just click the little trash can next to his name.
-
One other thing. You can set your trade block by clicking trade and adding players to your Available list. type in the player's name and click add.
You can also add Players, Stats or Positions wanted.
-
Thanks for the pointers! Much appreciated
-
No Problem
-
Thanks for looking out, I just woke up!
-
As for side pot, I’m thinking if people want to raise the stakes over the $50 entered through the website, as many people as are interested (no requirement) can but an additional sum into a side pot. It would be awarded to 1st, 2nd, 3rd place out of those who entered. Just floating the idea
-
Thanks for helping Wolfpack!
-
Lineup set - thanks for the help!
-
You can also set your lineup for future days by changing the date on top of your lineups page.
Sorry to go on like this. Just trying to help those new to Ottoneu.
I'll shut up now. If anybody has any questions just ask.
You can send private messages by clicking that thing that looks like a floppy disk on the top of the page
-
It's none of my business bu Darvish, Giants and Pocketful have not set their line ups yet.
Sorry to intrude. Just looking out on first day.
-
A GREEN BOX MEANS THAT PLAYER IS STARTING AND WHERE HE IS IN THE REAL LINEUP. A RED CIRCLE MEANS THAT PLAY IS NOT STARTING ON HIS REAL TEAM
-
DON'T FORGET TO SET YOUR LINEUPS. GO TO THE LINEUPS TAB NOT YOUR ROSTER
-
Welcome to the opening day that may never be.
Mets and Nationals postponed because of Covid among Nationals Players
-
How would a side pool work?
-
I’m happy to set up a side pot if people are interested- let me know if interested and how much
-
Hey - just wanted to thank everyone for rolling with the punches through a fun but long draft last night. Now let’s get the season started!
-
It's almost drift time guys.
Let's not ruin it for everyone
-
that makes sense. the later in the draft it gets, the pendulum shifts from a mistake to potential strategic maneuver. i'll have a tighter leash as we approach dollar days
-
Missing a nomination in the beginning or middle of a draft is no big deal but when you get down to the dollar players at the end of the draft missing a nomination could be a big problem for the league
-
That being said, if there are no issues, I'm thinking I'll pause the draft for 5 min at the top of every hour for bathroom breaks or what have you
-
Quick note for the draft tonight - in settings, I chose not to have people kicked out of the draft if they fail to nominate a player when it's their turn. Missing a nomination here or there will be understood, although let's try not to. If it's happening too often with someone, I reserve the right to end someone's draft out of fairness to everyone. Let's all have fun, but it's going to be a long draft so let's keep it moving.
-
Hello Hello! Thank you for setting this up Commish! I'm looking forward to the draft and for a great season with all of you!
-
Greetings everyone.
Looking forward to a great draft and a full fun season. :0)
