I believe there are only two teams left to fill. If anybody knows someone who wants a team, have them sign up

The salary you see if what they will cost this year unless they are in red. If they are red, that player can be put up for auction at the upcoming draft. For that particular player, you get a $5 discount on him when he comes up for auction. At the end of the year, the salary increases $2 for major leaguers and $1 for the minor leaguers on your roster.

Hey y'all. I took up one of the old teams (Raging Birds) here and am learning how these keeper leagues work now for the first time. Quick question though, if a player is on my roster right now will I pay that exact salary if I keep them? Can that number go up or down? Thanks for the help as I'm learning all this haha

Hi all, happy to be here I'll be changing my name eventually. Wanted to know if anyone find a Discord server useful/wanted? Kinda plan on being here till the league collapses. Up to you all!

Another new owner to welcome; taking over the old Moose team. Welcome, and let us know if you have any questions.

Hey everybody - I just signed up, hope that's cool. This is my first ottoneu league, excited to try it out

New owner for Battling Chucks. Welcome; you can make cuts as needed for now (I may have to reset the window if you cut guys individually; so I'll keep an eye on that). Let us know if you need any clarification on anything. Draft set for the 24th of March. Good luck!

I am good with the 24th! Perfect for me
-
The season technically starts on 3/20, and we'll make sure stats for those games count to totals obviously. For scheduling the auction, unless there's some objection I think we stick with that weekend of the 24th. In the grand scheme, roto based scoring means it won't matter much how those few players perform in those games and I trust the bidding process likely won't overreact too much in either direction to performances in two games. But we can adjust if someone feels strongly about it.

The 24th is perfect for me as my march is crazy busy and have very few open dates. But what about the two mlb games that happen before that with the Dodgers and Padres? Having it the 24th is actually after the official start of the season. Those two games are March 20th and 21st
-
Have set auction date of Sunday, 3/24 at 7:00PM Eastern for now. Obviously willing to update per folks availability, but do keep in mind that auctions tend to take a while (2-3 hours likely minimum, depending on how many roster spots need filling on each team). Also trying to leave some lead time to get more managers in-place for those teams remaining. Let me know of any thoughts/concerns.

When is the draft/auction?
-
sheriff and redlegs -I'm going to retire the penalty free cuts period as of Friday evening. If you could make any cuts you'd like to by then, it would be appreciated. After that point back to half-salary penalties for cuts, as typical for in-season activity (and for the rest of us right now).

techincally cuts ended jan 31 for returning teams; if you just paid and joined though there's a trigger for penalty free cuts (i can do this for anyone, so if the league wants one more round, we can do that). You can certainly keep your roster as-is. But you may decide that the guys currently there are not worth what you're paying them and cut them loose. Whatever salary you have left after keeps/cuts is your budget entering the auction draft where everyone bids against each other to fill roster

Lord Pork Chop can you fill me in how this works as I took over mid season last year and have not done anything from start of season? What happens between now and start of the season? Is this my team I start with? What is this stuff about a draft how does that work? What is reason you want to drop players now etc and not keep them? Sorry just unaware of how it works?
-
sheriff - good to see you back; hopefully everyone else finds their way back too.

5 left to fill: raging birds, themench's, battling chucks, moose, and rodger dodger. I haven't been doing anything, so assuming these spots are available on the main page for folks to fill; we can manually switch ownership though if you have someone you'd like to join us; but otherwise, we'll wait for these 5 to fill and get draft scheduled. New owners - you can cut players without penalty for now; go nuts. Maybe the last guy left you with some decent keepers. And welcome of course.

I just paid! I am back to win it!

Are we down to 3 to replace? Should we have those 3 another week in case they might rejoin?
-
looks like 5 of us have paid, and therefore we'll need to replace 7. if anyone knows of any interested folks, please pass along. I'll investigate other options in the meantime.

A bit hard to tell who is still active - may need a role-call of those who plan to participate. Only 3 of us have renewed thus far, but several others have logged in somewhat recently at least (most everyone at some point in 2024 for example). So TBD on how many we may need to replace. Hopefully folks can chime in over the next week or two, and then we'll assess, recruit, and set draft date.

Thanks, LPC! How many team owners do we still have? Rather, how many do we need to replace? Excited to auction!

Keeper deadline and payment renewal date is today for those who may have forgotten. Looks like most still need to attend to one or both of these things. Ready for the next season!

There is some time now to release players or make trades. Also be sure to see who was voted into arbitration for next year
Redlegs on

just a friendly reminder to the few teams who haven't yet voted (seemingly several of the more active folks, so perhaps intentional) - Arbitration voting is open. Do note that all votes are final.
lordporkchop on

there was indeed another cut period after arbitration. somewhat useful to keep a wider roster prior to arbitration, because it leaves more folks to split votes among - someone will be voted off your roster (though you have advantage re: auction next spring if so). do check the rules link to see how all this works; it's very helpful in explaining these steps.

I think there is a cut period after arbitration. Should be a keeper deadline before the auction draft…
-
Remember guys, the players you don't drop before Oct.15 will be stuck on your roster until next year I believe. Also remember that all major league player salaries will increase $2 and minor leaguers will increase $1.

Congrats to Bichette, and well done Sheriff as mentioned. Also looking forward to the next steps as we head to next season and hoping everyone sticks around. Regarding rules, I'm always on the side of erring towards the rules as established, since that's what makes this format different from others and more interesting (IMO). See rules link for any questions on how those work: https://ottoneu.fangraphs.com/rules

Discussion points moving forward:
Everyone’s thoughts on scoring system?
How will we handle arbitration?
Anyone leaving?
Do we want to keep a regular season & playoffs or just a regular season. I can see arguments both ways on this one, esp with so many players sitting out the last few weeks.
Thanks to all for a fun season! I’m ready for some wheeling and dealing and our next auction!
-
This league nearly died after last season when a chunk of teams and our commish left. Major shout out to redlegs for stepping up and taking over. We may be a group of strangers but I think this league is super fun and look forward to keeping it going!
I hope everyone commits to returning next season. Please let us know if not so we can recruit new teams.
Shout out to new sheriff! Dude took over a team midseason and quickly molded a contender. Plus with plenty of cap spa

Why isn't wins a category for pitching in playoffs but is for regular season?
-
I believe there’s a cap on SP no matter what for H2H playoffs. It’s just either 2 per day or a total starts for the week.
Grizzlies on

Playoffs has had the 2SP cap as far as I know (or did last year here, which surprised me then as well). Designed to avoid running up the points in the counting categories I believe. I too have way too many starters. However, does encourage you to prioritize the seemingly good matchups on days when you may have more SPs going. For the record, I think if you start a third in an RP spot (if he has eligibility both ways), those stats don't count. But I might be misremembering that from last season.

Number of Playoff Teams: 4 2-Week Semifinals: Yes 2-Week Championship: Yes Scoring: H2H FanGraphs Points GS Cap: None 2SP slots per day. Has the playoffs always had a cap of 2 SP per day. I built my team to have tons and tons of starting pitching for playoff and did not see this listed the few other times I looked in the settings and feel like it was recently added? Can someone clear this up for me please?
-
Sheriff, your trying to dump salary with two weeks left in the season. People are also going to turn down loans to make a trade happen. Good luck in the Playoffs.

I am a little disturbed that I have sent probably 15 fair trades trying to shred a little salary cap and have had no takers. Every trade I have sent has been fair and would help both teams needs and I put lots of thought on them but I get not a reply not anything but yet I see all this off landish uneven trades happening left and right.Not sure what is up but oh well I guess I will just win the league with what I have
