Otto, Canna is there any type of prize for winning it? If i remember correctly you were the the two big dogs last year. You get a nice Otto Trophy to fill the cabinet?

There were 10 players in all of MLB last year to appear in more than 150 of the 162games. There will be even fewer to do it this year because there are fewer scheduled off days during the season. This league allows 135 games played by September 5th. Very very few players will hit that number, so I wouldn't be benching any batters in this league. Exceptions maybe for double headers games?

others might jump in here--once the playoffs start ur slotted 2 sp and 2rp and the usual hitter roster i think. and there are no limits--its as many as u can get within the playoff period--1 week for for early round and 2 weeks for final if i remember correctly
-
So once the league playoffs start, everything goes back to zero? And once the playoffs start, are there more limitations on how many innings can be pitced or how many games can be played at each position?
As a new guy to this league, I am frustrated that I did not know any of the rules going into this season. I will do the best I can with it and see what happens.
-
maybe i can help a bit--if u play trea turner every game and he doesnt miss a game the projections will say that you will max out at 162 but only have room for 135--the difference is that the projections dont know there are playoffs which starts/games are calculated differently--so you need to figure that the projections at 162 are keeping with posting a full 135 games and 125o IP before the playoffs start....did that get to the root of it?
-
After taking a quick look at your roster, it looks like you are running a large number of pitchers. Each position has innings caps so that is something to keep in mind as well. My suggestion is to try to offload/trade some of that pitching depth to fill in some of the positional needs you have.
-
I’m playing with 2/3rds to 1/2 of a roster each day and s barely staying in line within the max limits. Other teams are fielding full rosters daily are well above the max limits. I understand that some of it is strategic but since when do actual Major League teams play without a 2B, or a SS, or what we else on a given day? I’ll play it as it is, strategize where I can, etc. I just don’t understand the concept of putting so many restrictions on when there does not need to be. Oh well. 🤷♂️
-
The regular season ends on September 5th in this league. So with the late start this year, that left 149 days until the playoffs. 146 if you account for the All-Star break. So a cap of games played at 135 sounds proprtional to a traditional 162 game league. https://ottoneu.fangraphs.com/1329/calendar

I think the 6 team playoff format means the season ends sooner, therefore the max innings and games played season allowance is prorated to reflect that?

So other than winning, obviously, what is the point of this league? If I was to field a full roster each between now and the All-Star break, I would have all of my pitching max out based on the max allowed & almost all of my hitters too. Playing with half my team on the bench each day to not max out & play out the full season is silly. Is this an Ottoneu thing or how the league rules were set up? If it’s the latter, please adjust. It’s just silly not to do so.
-
May be time to update the scoring setting for ottoneu. Not much value in SP with a max of 5 innings .

One down...many to go haha

Well one crazy first week.

They don't cost anything per trade, but cap can be transferred as a loan. That loan expires at the end of the year and everyone resets at $400.
You always have a 40 man active roster (save for 60-day IL), and you'll need to keep that in mind while trading. If you're at 41 after a trade you'll need to cut one player before you're able to change your lineups.
Dropping our Slack invite here too: https://join.slack.com/t/ottoneuarmchairgms/shared_invite/zt-16nwn4fp0-xrEO2l8
-
Next question: how do trades work? Do they cost anything on the salary cap, penalty, etc?
-
Fun draft everyone. Does the winner get any sort of payout this year? Are we making this a paid league? Just curious

Ok makes sense. Thanks.
-
bionic--ur roster says 40 of 42--u have room for 2 more if kieboom and soroka come off 60-day then u will have to drop players to be 40
-
Question: If I have a full 40 on my roster, but have guys on NA & IL, can I then go add players without dropping anyone?
-
Great auction everyone. I'm excited to get the season underway!
-
No worries on being late. Much appreciated if you set up a nomination cue. I'll disabled the team from nominating if there are no nominations to keep things flowing, but just let me know when you join and I'll re-enable!
-
No cuts after keeper deadline until draft unless new owner and then you get one round of cuts. Can cut all you want after draft.
-
That is ottoneu rule. Applies to every league
-
Just out of curiosity what's the reasoning for preventing teams from cutting players. Is that an otto neu thing? I get not being able to sign players or make trades but we should be able to cut players. In my opinion

I will be late to the draft. If I can enter and set up a nomination queue I will.
-
Ok, I will modify it to be 7pm EST/4pm PST. I only anticipate this auction to go a couple of hours since we are in the second year, but if it goes longer we can either do a second auction day or just allow normal 24 hour auctions.
-
How long is the draft? New to the league & fairly new at the auctions.
-
whenever is good
-
I'm good for any hour.

Same here, either works for me
-
Im fine either way.
-
Draft is tomorrow currently at 5pm est, but I was wondering if we could push it until 7pm est. If not, no biggies, I’ll just have to join from my phone for the first hour which shouldn’t be a problem.
-
Not until after draft
-
Do the rosters open up on draft day. For instance can I cut a player on draft day to make more spots available

sunday april 3 at 5
-
Draft tomorrow at 5 PM EST, correct??
-
Done, thank you all for accommodating. Just a heads up I will be traveling for the next three weeks, but I will have internet access and can handle anything that might crop up. Might just take me a bit longer...
-
Anytime on the 3rd
-
sure
-
April 3rd works great for me as well.

5pm EST?
-
April 3rd is good for me. Afternoon works best
-
Can the rosters be unlocked? I would like to get my roster ready for the draft.
-
What time on the 3rd?
-
What about April 3?
-
Yeah we can certainly do that. Let me take a look at the schedule link I sent out to see what a good second day might be.
-
Since our scheduled draft is after start of season, any thought of finding a way to move it?
-
What a guess! April 7th apparently
-
April 8
