Devers, Hogs, and I finished 1,2,3 last season not solely because of deep SP roster, but it certainly helped a lot. So diminishing the SP role would hurt us a little more. But I think Devers' proposed compromise is very fair. One of the original complaints was having 3 good SP's pitching on the same day and having to sit one. Now having 5 SP slots should end that, but allowing 14 starts per week should no longer penalize the deep SP teams. I would vote for the compromise right away. Thoughts?

We are new to Otto and didn’t play last season so don’t have the feel of how many starters is ideal etc with 2 SP slots a day.
To me the con of the 2 SP a day is on days when you have 2+ starters that happen to be pitching.
Did 2 SPs a day last season always result in 2 SPs started a day? I guess that would be necessary to compete really right?
Getting to pitch your SPs when you’d like I think is the aim. The max #/week doesn’t matter to me but greatly a

Question to the group about the proposed rule change: Is the goal to have added flexibility of when you start folks or something else? As of now, you can theoretically have 14 starts in a week, if you use 2 per day.
It would make sense to me to simply make it so that you can use those 14 starts however you like, including 5 on the same day if that’s how your starters line up. Setting it at a lower number of 10 doesn’t make sense to me though, Can you explain why you’re cutting down

This quote from Niv Shah regarding the MLB labor dispute and how it may affect Ottoneu leagues...
"I might be a little too optimistic but I believe that we won’t have a shortened season but may need to see a slightly delayed keeper deadline, to something like February 15 or so. I’ll update this thread in a couple of weeks based on what is going on then."

Looking to trade pitching for hitting. Message us to see if we can find something that works.

I want to hear from everyone before we enact any changes to this league.

Update on the poll: 6 teams have responded and everyone wants the rule change so far. All but 1 team wanted 10 starts per week. If you haven't responded yet, please do so so we can get this done.

On that Google form it says 5 pitcher slots. Does that mean SP slots, or general pitcher spots?

Thanks guys, sorry for the mix up, messing around with budgets

Cal Penal League was messing around in roster organizer and accidentally cut a boatload of guys today. It was clearly unintended. I'm going to attempt to restore those guys back to him unless there is strong objection from several league members. Please chime in. Thanks!

We still have one manager that has not allocated arbitration dollars. Should we let that stand, or get an outside impartial stand-in from the Ottoneu slack channel to allocate those dollars? Just looking for feedback. Time is running out.
-
Arbitration is winding down, but there is still time to edit your allocations. The trading window opens on Monday, and will remain open until January 31st.

Finally got in. In case others got stuck too, I had to copy paste that invite url into the web browser (I did it on my phone), instead of trying to do it within the app.

Slack or discord are fine by me. I'd join either one you setup, especially with the trade window opening up soon.

Arbitration ends this Sunday. Trading will be allowed again from Monday Nov 15th until the January 31st keeper deadline. All rosters must be 40 or less players and $400 or less payroll by the keeper deadline. The more room you free up, the more you'll have to spend on the auction in March.

If anyone knows anyone else interested in picking up the Bonus Cantos team, please reach out. I'd like to secure a new owner in time for them to participate in arbitration if at all possible. Thanks!

That's great sonny! Also, this week's episode of the Keep or Kut podcast is devoted to Ottoneu arbitration. They have a veteran player and a relatively new player discussing strategy for the process.
-
I'm in for the arbitration. But need to read the article!
-
I have reached out via message and email to Bonus Cantos and have not heard back. Do any of you have contact with him? If not, I think we have to assume he is not returning. Does anyone know of a potential replacement? If not, I will go on the Ottoneu community page and seek a replacement manager.
-
We are nearing the halfway point of arbitration, and so far we have seven of the 12 twelve teams that have allocated their funds. I would encourage everyone else to go ahead and do that. Keep in mind that you can always change your allocation amounts right up until the deadline. Arbitration deadline is November 14th. Trading will open back up on Nov. 15th, and remain open until Jan 31st.

Arbitration begins October 15th: this Friday.
Chad Young wrote an intro article about it:
https://fantasy.fangraphs.com/new-and-improved-ottoneu-arbitration-process/
Key quote: "Each team gets $25 to allocate to players on other teams. Every owner has to allocate at least $1 to every other team and can allocate no more than $3 to any given team. The dollars to a given team can be given all to one player or split among up

Wednesday, 10/6 - We will start sending out cash prizes for both baseball leagues and OPL. OPL T-shirts and the bat will be made available for “purchase” for those of you that won these prizes.
Thursday, 10/7 - Cap penalties will be removed, loans will be removed, inflation will be applied.
Friday, 10/15 - Arbitration opens up.

Here's a post from Niv.....
Here is a loose outline of how the next few days will go:
Today, 10/4 - I’ll be confirming stats for the season and making sure we captured all stat corrections for the season. This process will take most of today. No H2H results will be changed, but this may result in some movement in season-long leagues.
Tomorrow, 10/5 - Once stats are confirmed, I’ll remove pitching points for all teams in 4x4 leagues that did not hit innings minimu

Just a reminder to everyone that rosters lock after Sunday. Please have all rosters legal by then. No hoarding players on an illegal roster!! Arbitration begins October 15th, and lasts 30 days. Punish those playoff teams with your dollars (except mine 😃) and bring parity to the league. The trading window opens back up November 15th. Then everyone has until Jan 31st to choose your keepers for next year. Good luck to everyone, and thanks again for a great year!!

Congrats devers! Great playing with you all this season, looking forward to turning the squad around next year!

Thanks man, it was my first league of this kind and it was a blast. Definitely got lucky with the core staying healthy most of the year. Now Im just hoping I give a run at the hardest thing in sports - a repeat!

Last game is still in progress, but appears meaningless. Congrats to Devers for the well earned championship!! It was a tight battle with Hogs, but he packed in a ton of points in the final 72 hours to get the win.
-
Heck of a matchup so far, Hogs. Comes down to last 3 days!
-
Devers and Hogs swapped the lead about 4 times yesterday. 3 days remain and the lead right now is less than 1 point!!
