• I need to correct my last message. Kevin will be taking over The Wrath of All and not BigLeagueYu.

  Rearden Coal on January 13, 2023 10:28 PM

• Please join me in welcoming Kevin to the Boys of Summer . Kevin will be taking over the team formerly known as BigLeagueYu. Kevin has been playing fantasy baseball for many years; however, this is his first Otto team.
  
  Welcome Kevin!

• Happy New Year! With the new year now here, it means we are inching closer to Opening Day.
  
  The Keeper Deadline is: Tuesday, January 31, 2023 11:59 PM EST.
  
  I hope you all still plan on playing in 2023, but if for some reason something changed, please let me know.
  
  Thanks!

• Hi Everyone...Please welcome Dave Cherman. Dave comes to us from the Pitcher List community. Dave enjoys playing fantasy baseball, football, and hockey. Be sure to watch out for Dave as he won two championships this past baseball season. Dave comes to us from NY. Welcome Dave!

• Hey everyone! I'm excited to join the league- everyone on my team is available, please let me know if you're interested in anyone in particular as I'm very eager to make some deals.

  Broken Clocks on December 23, 2022 9:48 AM

• Thanks for having me!

  ExtraBases with Happyfaces😁 on November 12, 2022 4:13 PM

• We are now full! Please welcome Harrison to the Boys of Summer. He's new to Otto so I told him not to hesitate to ask the group any questions. Great to have you Harrison.
  
  Thanks to Robert for recruiting Harrison.

  Rearden Coal on November 12, 2022 4:12 PM

• Sounds good. Thanks!

  Rearden Coal on November 10, 2022 11:06 PM

• Yeah, I’ll have to help him with Arb. I’ll get his email and message you on Slack.

  All My Bichette’s Love Me on November 10, 2022 11:03 PM

• Perfect. I'll need his email so I can invite him to the league. He will need to do Arb before November 14th, so if he has any questions he can certainly ask me or if you want to assist him with Arb, that would also be fine. Just let me know.
  Thanks for getting us to 12.

  Rearden Coal on November 10, 2022 10:59 PM

• I have a guy that will take it. He’s never done Ottoneu so he’s up for the challenge. I told him to make an account. What do I do from there?

  All My Bichette’s Love Me on November 10, 2022 10:43 PM

• SteveSaxYips. I was mistaken when I posted JZ. Not sure what I was thinking.

  Rearden Coal on November 10, 2022 10:31 PM

• Which team is available?

  All My Bichette’s Love Me on November 10, 2022 10:28 PM

• Hey. One team left. I have someone not in the league who will arb for the team. Let me know if you know someone who wants the team by tomorrow morning. If we can’t find someone by then I’ll have this guy arb for the team. Thanks.

  Rearden Coal on November 10, 2022 7:16 PM

• Quick update: We still have one opening and I've been trying to get it filled. If we don't fill the team as Arbitration is about to wrap up, I have someone lined up from the Otto community to step in for that team. He's not joining the league, but helping with this part of the off-season. Just an FYI...

  Rearden Coal on November 4, 2022 10:47 AM

• Shameless plug for a project I've been working on for awhile...
  
  After posting the information on the boards, I thought, "You should have just emailed the group."
  
  If you watch or listen, I hope you enjoy the content.
  
  Thanks!

• Hey Everyone,
  
  Prior to my retirement from the Manhattan Beach Police Department, I thought about having a podcast to focus on First Responders and Military Veterans. The idea was to give them a platform to share their stories and experiences.

  Rearden Coal on October 18, 2022 3:32 PM

• In May, I contacted a friend who does this type of work and he agreed to help.
  
  As of this post, we've conducted seven interviews (3 Police Officers, 2 Vietnam Veterans, 1 Firefighter/Paramedics, 1 Dispatcher).
  
  I'm excited to announce Episode 1 was launched this morning. The Behind The Line (Tim Hageman) podcast will focus on untold stories from First Responders and Military Veterans.

  Rearden Coal on October 18, 2022 3:32 PM

• Our first show features Chief of Police Mike Albanese of the Burbank Police Department. Chief Albanese has been serving the law enforcement profession for 51 years; 37 of those years with the Los Angeles Police Department. During his time with LAPD, Chief Albanese worked 27 years on the department's SWAT and CNT teams and was involved in countless crisis incidents both as an operator and in a command-control position.

  Bye Tork on October 18, 2022 11:17 AM

• Wecome Mike!

  Bye Tork on October 18, 2022 11:16 AM

• Please join me in welcoming Mike Wrathall to the Boys of Summer. Mike took over the team formerly known as Fishheads. Mike has been playing fantasy baseball for 10 years, but this will be his first year in Otto Neu. I'm sure he'll have questions, so prove me right when I told him you guys are very helpful. I actually do mean that. We have a great group in the Boys of Summer. We still have one spot left to fill.

  Rearden Coal on October 17, 2022 11:42 PM

• Welcome Nick!

  Bye Tork on October 17, 2022 3:35 PM

• Please welcome Nick Brucella to the Boys of Summer. Of the three open teams, Nick decided to take over the team formerly known as JZ. Welcome Nick!

  Rearden Coal on October 17, 2022 3:12 PM

• Arbitration has started and will end on November 14th, so don't forget to use the $25 and spread it around to each team.
  
  We still have three openings, so if you know someone who would like to join this fine group, send me their contact information along with how you know them. We have one potential, but I haven't heard back from him. I've posted in the managers-wanted channel on Slack, but nothing yet. I would be nice to have the new owner in so he can be involved in arbitration.

  Rearden Coal on October 16, 2022 7:00 PM

• Congrats man! I was trying to chase you down for a while, and just couldn’t do it! Here’s to next season.

  All My Bichette’s Love Me on October 6, 2022 12:13 AM

• Congratulations Poselicious for having a great season and being the champion of the 2022 Boys of Summer fantasy baseball league. Well done!
  
  To all of you: I appreciate you making my job as commish an easy one. We have a great group of owners and I hope the 2022 season was the start of many more.
  
  Have a great offseason and get ready for arbitration.
  
  Thank You!
  
  Tim

  Rearden Coal on October 5, 2022 11:30 PM

• So far we have nine returning owners. Thanks for the quick replies.

  Rearden Coal on October 4, 2022 8:28 PM

• I’ll be back

  Him Edmonds on October 4, 2022 2:47 PM

• You think this is the real Quaid?!? It is!!! I'm in.

  Poseylicious on October 3, 2022 8:44 PM

• I'm in

  Bye Tork on October 3, 2022 2:19 PM

• I'm back BABY!

  Hebrew Hammers on October 3, 2022 2:12 PM

• In for next year

  Broken Clocks on October 3, 2022 1:56 PM

• I'm in

  Milton Bradley's on October 3, 2022 1:53 PM

• I’m in.

  Once Upon a Prospect 📖 on October 3, 2022 1:52 PM

• I'm in for next year!

  All My Bichette’s Love Me on October 3, 2022 1:51 PM

• I thought now would be a good time for roll call for 2023. Let me know whether or not you will be back by October 9th so if needed, I will have time to recruit. For those staying (I hope the two who have said they will not return will change their minds), the Arbitration period will begin October 15th. For many, this is one of the best parts of Otto and I agree that it is fun. To get an idea of the Offseason, be sure to visit Section VIII (Offseason) https://ottoneu.fangraphs.com/rules#offseason

  Rearden Coal on October 3, 2022 1:46 PM

• I WOULD JUMP BACK IN, I THINK WE ONLY HAD TWO OR THREE SHOW INTEREST HERE

  Hebrew Hammers on August 23, 2022 12:31 PM

• I could probably Commish. How many Chaps do we have?

  Milton Bradley's on August 23, 2022 11:09 AM

• I cancelled the league due to a few things going on that will prevent me from being the commish. I'm working on a project that will keep me pretty busy and I don't have time to commish. I'll still be active and commish our Otto baseball league and I hope you all return for the 2023 season.
  One manager has already advised me he won't return next year, so we'll need to fill his spot. We have a great group here and fingers crossed the rest of you will be back.

  Rearden Coal on August 23, 2022 10:04 AM

• Blue Crew posted in the football league that he can't commish, has personal stuff going on, so he is going to cancel the league. If we still want to go at it, we would need a new commish to step in

  Hebrew Hammers on August 23, 2022 9:51 AM

• I just clicked on fantasy football link. First it took me to fantasy basketball league. When i tried again, it said link does not exist

  Milton Bradley's on August 23, 2022 9:23 AM

• I’m hoping to get the league confirmed this week. If you intend to play, please claim a spot. This will help determine the number of owners we will need outside of our Otto league or if we will in fact have a league.
  Thanks!

  Rearden Coal on August 15, 2022 12:35 PM

• The football site is up and running. $50 entree. The draft date and time are not set in stone, but just a placeholder; however, hopefully the day and time that is set works.
  Please consider joining, even if you've never played fantasy football or took a break. It would be great to have many of you from our baseball league join the football one.
  It would be appreciated if you join within the next few days so if needed, we can invite others who are not in our Otto baseball league.

  Rearden Coal on August 10, 2022 1:40 PM

• We’re still looking to fill out football league. This is a great time to jump into a startup dynasty league. Let me know if you want in and I’ll send the invite. Hoping to finalize owners soon. Thanks!

  Rearden Coal on July 7, 2022 12:13 PM

• Football: Three are in so far and have joined the league site. Room for nine more. Let me know if you want in and I'll send you an invite.

  Rearden Coal on June 25, 2022 8:20 PM

• There's an updated post on Slack related to the football league.
