Anyone know why it says I'm rostering 41 of 44 players? I thought they were 40 man rosters.

I posted a new podcast episode related to Otto Neu. It’s well done and features Niv, who created Otto.

Just seeing these messages. Milton Bradley's has it right. When a new owner takes over a team, they get a one time chance to make penalty free cuts. The FA fits in with that. Nice to see our two new owners getting involved early and doing what they can to improve their teams.
-
That makes sense! Thanks. Ottonewb here.

I assume it has to do with this Ottoneu rule "If a team's manager changes, the new manager is given the opportunity to make one round of penalty-free cuts" - I'm assuming as a result, these players do not go through the normal 24hr waiver process
-
Welcome Brian! I see you're revamping your team. Love to see it.
On that topic though, can anyone tell me why the 10 or so players Brian cut 14 hours ago are already FAs? I thought they should be on waivers for 24 hours.

Thank you for that hearty welcome. Glad to be here gang. I'll work on the roster cuts tonight and start plotting out long term moves and the ever important Team Name. For anyone looking to wheel and deal, I'll officially be open for business tomorrow.

Please join me in welcoming Brian to the Boys of Summer as he is the new owner of the Fortuneville Magnets. Brian has been playing fantasy baseball for 15 years and has served as commish many of those seasons. He started playing Otto last season along with our very own Navy Street (Rob). Brian is currently currently in five leagues (now six), but only one of those are in Otto. Welcome Brian!

Hey Everyone...I would like to welcome Dillon to the Boys of Summer fantasy league. Dillon has been playing fantasy baseball for about 10 years; however, this is his first year playing Otto. Welcome Dillon and don't hesitate to post any questions on the board. We have a great group of guys in this league and all are willing to help out.
For the rest of the group. What are some words of wisdom you would like to pass onto Dillon. Cutting $1.00 players could be a good place to sta

Good points Poseylicious. I would still like to have two new owners who can come in and hopefully do what they can to improve their teams and be involved. As of this message, I'm communicating with one potential new owner and Navy Street has a friend who may be interested. Hopefully, we can get these teams filled this week.
-
The real question is did both the owners that are leaving pay their fee for the year? If so, then relatively little harm done. We could even wait until the off season to find new owners. Since this isn't a head to head league, absentee owners are not that detrimental and shouldn't hurt the gameplay too much
-
@Navy Street - Take a look at the message I sent. Thanks for this info.

@Fungoes - I work at a car dealership (finance manager) so yes I’m always angry lol. But no it’s just our software we only use capital letters. It’s just how it works in this business
-
I wanted to try my best at continuing to participate in the league, but after consideration, I felt that it was better for a more active person to take my place. Thank you so much for the enjoyable time, albeit small, and wish everyone the best. I apologize again for the abrupt leave.
-
Hi there, this is Fortuneville Magnets. I am so sorry for leaving the league without saying anything to the team members. I was really hyped for my first ever fantasy baseball league, and I wanted to be as active as I could. I even tried my best to stduy and participate in auctions and trades despite the vast time differences. Unfortunately, I felt that I couldn't be as active as I did during a few months ago.
-
Quite honestly, I agree and disagree with Hammers! Why would you join a league and bail after 5 weeks? So much can happen in the next 25 weeks, injuries, hot and cold streaks and players who find their groove. Way to early to abandon ship! On the other hand! Hammers, try to delineate from work to fun. You message came across as angry (which I can understand) but those who opted out can’t read your message, they’re gone. One last question for you, do you work in a hostile environment?

I should have a guy Tim. Real life friend. Experience in otteneu (same amount of time as me). We are in multiple leagues together. Solid

So we in fact have two teams confirmed that need owners. I’ve reached out to a few guys to see if they’re interested, but if you know someone who might want to join, send me a message. I’ll sort through those interested. Thanks.

Hey Everyone.I want to let you know that Fortuneville Magnets has decided to resign from the league. Although he enjoyed the league and would have liked to stay, he thought it best to let someone with more time take it over. I'll let you know when I find a new owner. American History xFIP has not been on the site since April 14th. I emailed him yesterday and today, but as of this post, he has not responded. We may be in need of a second owner.
I hope you guys are enjoying the league.

Tim - If you could add Beede and Pavin Smith back, I think that should do it. Would leave me with $2 and 2 roster spots open.

Thanks guys! And sorry for the hassle.

I'm realizing that cutting $1 players actually put me in a worse situation since they don't free up any cap and now I need an extra $1 for the open roster spot. Would it be at all possible to add the players I cut back to my roster so I can make it valid again? If that is giving a new manager too much leeway, I understand. Thanks.

Hey folks. I realize my roster is not valid, trying to find a way to fix it. I think I need to cut a more expensive player since I can't trade or do anything else? Any help would be appreciated.

Many thanks BC and apologies to the league. I'm still learning the waiver claim process. And I'm back in front of my normal computer setup, so hopefully things will be more clear.

I mentioned earlier in the week that because there are several in this league new to Otto, that some transactions would be reversed with no cap penalties. I made the same type of reversal this morning. I think at this point, it's in the best interest of the league to not make any additional reverse transactions. There may be a case where a reversal is in order, but it should not be the norm. Be sure to review the rules for free agent auctions and waiver claims. I hope you understand. Thanks!

Looking for some commish help. I somehow inadvertently added Suarez. Apologies. I’ve been on vacation and trying to do everything on my phone. I clicked on him when I saw he was cut and I somehow must have made a claim for him. I didn’t not intend to add him. Can I get a mulligan please?

Fishheads should be good to go. I've played Otto for several years and I'm still learning. Fishheads was in a bind and wasn't clear on how some cuts would impact his roster, so based on great advice from many on Slack, I made moves to get his team legal.
I think Fishheads would agree that those on Otto Slack were very helpful. You can visit Slack - Otto-Baseball to see his question to the community and their suggestions/advice.

Thanks for the help, Navy. Sad that I need that $1. Toronto has a way with pitchers. Hopefully the change of scenery will be a good thing for Kikuchi

You are correct...my bad....I was debating Kikuchi on waivers....now I will add him as my penance...theres another buck for the fishheads
-
The majority of the owners in this league are new to Otto and trying to navigate some of the rules and protocols. Fishheads is one of those new owners. He's been trying to get his roster legal, but has had some difficulty in doing so. He posted his "dilemma" on the Otto Slack channel and was given some advice on what to do. I'm working with him to get his team legal. I may be able to get this done until Tuesday.

During the season it goes by standings, since there are no games played yet, it comes down to heads or tails. What other alternative is there?

Thanks FB, CB and BC. I checked the forums and you were right. SP and RP designations are basically irrelevant for pitchers. You can put an RP in an SP slot and vice versa. What matters is whether the pitcher in your SP slot started the game and whether the pitcher in your RP slot came out of the bullpen. You can put any pitcher in any pitcher slot (SP or RP). So I can use Severino from day 1. Let's hope he doesn't make me regret that now.

If you want to, you can copy my post and send it to Niv Shah (Niv is the founder of Ottonue) in the community forum found on the upper right side on the task bar and ask him if this is correct. Niv always answers, he is so good at that.

@Posey, you my friend are correct. If Severino is in the lineup to start and you slot him in as a SP, you will get whatever points he earns. But, if you have him slotted as a RP on your lineup and he is going to start and you don’t move him to a SP slot on your lineup, you will not accrue his points.
