Ha, would be incredibly lucky to make it that far. I know Fighting Phil’s will be tough on me this week!
Anyone needing an outfielder or SS - I have too many so let’s talk trade…

Only one undefeated team left! I was wondering when I was going to get my crack at Junior Mints this year, and according to the schedule Ottoneu is holding me back until August. Hopefully it won't be up to me to tackle the unbeaten streak by then...
-
Two weeks in a row against FODS? This is all an effort to get my hopes up this year apparently...
-
Shane Bieber also needs surgery 😅
-
Yeah that sucks. The discourse around the pitch clock has been interesting. I think it’s because pitchers start throwing (hard) with heavy workloads earlier in their career. Nolan Ryan threw 100+ for most of his career…though even after electing to not get tommy John surgery he still threw mid 90s.
-
So sorry for the news. Injuries suck don't they? Strider especially. Thought he was protected by the baseball gods
-
Thought Cole and Strider were as close to sure things this year as anyone, but noooOOOOoooo...
-
Haha no kidding
-
Wow, feeling like I am at Sotheby's with all these auctions going on. I have a feeling I know who started most of them...
-
I may never win an auction this season...unless my nomination has passed or is Joey Gallo

What happened last night? $350 left over post draft?

Draft tonight! In case anyone forgot...
-
Clock is ticking on the cut deadline...
I will be giving our newest GM (Fightin Phils) an extension to allow him a bit more time to get up to speed with the Ottoneu format to where he's comfortable making all cut decisions.

All good, I was mainly mad at Hunter Greene I think for blowing up in the last week. New season ahead, though!

sorry

One more day! I'm still 'mad' at finishing fourth last year, so send me an offer if you see anyone of interest.
-
Three days to go! Anyone wish to do some player swaps?
-
lol last part of that last message looks like it was cut off but it should read:
DUES/CUT DEADLINE IN 10 DAYS!

A few updates...
Everyone please welcome Jim, a friend of mine, youth baseball coach, and all around great guy. Jim is new to the Ottoneu format, but brings a vast knowledge of the game and I fully expect him to compete for a championship this season. He is also a Phillies fan so while the Phightin Phils have a change at GM, their fandom remains unchanged.
I've changed the draft date to March 17 at 19:00 ET, so everyone should plan on that (~2-3 hours).

I like the March 17th (Sunday) 19:00 slot. It is the first weekend of March Madness and by that time things should be wound down. Thanks! Nick

As one who joined from the advertisement of an opening in this league last year, feel free to promote and hopefully get someone unless a manager here has someone in mind already. I vote for the 19:00 drafts, as I might have morning drafts one of those days. Finally, I am open to trading! Send me some offers on anyone on my Block or otherwise.
-
I've had some questions about potential draft dates. I'm eyeing either March 16 or 17 for the draft this season. But we can of course move this if that weekend is not good for someone. It's important we can all be present for the draft. Here are potential times so if everyone could either send me a DM or respond in the league chat with their preference I'd appreciate it.
1. Saturday March 16, 15:00 ET
2. Saturday March 16, 19:00 ET
3. Sunday March 17, 19:00 ET

I hope everyone's new year is off to a good start. We are a little over two weeks away from an important deadline. By January 31, all teams need to pay for the next season (thanks to those who have already taken care of this.) Additionally, any penalty-free cuts will need to be made by then. I'm still trying to fill one team (Phightin Phils) - if anyone knows someone who would be a good addition to the league please share the league/team info with them.

Thanks GM ... it worked. Gearing up for another season. Slammed in arbitration so need to get some $ to spend in draft

It seems that if you go to the User Dashboard, where all of your Ottoneu teams are displayed, there's an "Extend Now" link for each team. When clicked it goes to Paydala, so I haven't proceeded past that. I'm not entirely sure if that's where one pays regardless, but I figured it was something related to the renewal.
-
Hey Junior, how do I renew? Can't find a link to pay

Happy Holidays! A few updates from the commish:
We do have one team available, the Phightin Phils are in need of a new GM. If anyone knows a friend or family member looking to step up their fantasy baseball game... an Ottoneu team is a great last minute gift!
As usual, team renewals are due at the end of January. This is also the free cut deadline.

Deadline for arb is tomorrow! 3 teams still haven’t allocated. You know who you are lol

I'll re-allocate $$$ to non-arb teams ensuring they get $3 instead of an owner who participated

Nothing happens, teams would be putting themselves at a disadvantage is all. I suppose we could come up with a house rule for the league pertaining to arb allocations, but it hasn't been an issue in our first few seasons so I don't think that's necessary.

What happens, if anything, if a team doesn't allocate? I assume the manager is not penalized, but maybe I am wrong.
-
One week to go before the arbitration deadline, five teams still haven’t allocated…

Alright, back to business. We have officially entered the arbitration period. Teams have until November 14 to set arbitration allocations. It's very important for the sake of competitive balance that everyone use all of their allocation budget - so please don't wait on this!
Also, if you do not plan to keep your team for next season, please let me know asap so I can start looking for replacements. This last season was the most competitive season yet and I do hope every GM plans to r

Indeed! Two great finishes! 2016Dream owned us all from the start of the season. Congrats to the winners!
-
What a year it's been. Junior Mints is a perennial powerhouse in our league and really deserved to win the championship. Last day of season is a hard one to be 'make or break'. Not sure how to spend the extra time now that the season is over. Enjoy the offseason everyone.

Congrats 2016Dream and Mantequilla. Two nail biters until the last day!
-
I think I just blew a 150+ point lead in two days. Maybe I should just stick to waiver wire signings...
-
Good luck in the championship y’all!
-
Congrats to 2016Dream and Junior Mints on making the championship. Good luck to you both!

Nice season GM and Mantequilla! It will be a battle with JM. Love this game of baseball now I just hope my Cubbies can stay in the wild card hunt.

Congrats JM! Sub-goal achieved, but team just didn't have enough. Good luck!

Ha! I’ll be lucky to get away with that again. Good luck!

My main goal is to win this week, of course, but my sub-goal is to not lose by more than 100 like my last two meetings against the Mints. Get the bats ready, team!

It was a good run champ...hope I can navigate these playoff teams the way you did last season

Welp it’s only fitting that subpar pitching would ensure I didn’t somehow sneak into the playoffs. Best of luck to everyone and look forward to another competitive season!
