If anyone is looking toward next year already, I can offer Westburg + for a position player who is performing well this year. Cost shouldn’t be much of an issue. Let me know if you’re interested.

Hey just a reminder that if you reauction players that were on your team, you can cut the tax penalty in half. If you go over your salary, you can cut that person you just picked up for relief. I see a lot of people not doing that.

You should be able to use catchers in the utility spot once you've surpassed your GP limited at the position.
-
Just put Brett Baty and Logan Allen on my trade block. Rookies who haven't broken out yet but who are cheap and have a future for a next year rebuild type situation
-
One question on the catcher game limit - when I go over the limit for catchers (which I likely will surpass by far), can I still use a catcher in the utility spot or can't use catchers at all anymore?
-
Fair enough, I was operating with the assumption that there would be a multiplier like OF games and given the prices people were paying for catchers in the auction. Kinda wish I didn't spend so much on a second catcher now but I guess should be still be interesting to manage.
-
Last season I hit the limit on catchers mid/late-August and they basically became unusable for me. So, will need to manage usage better this year. It's a bit tricky, but adds the fun to it.
-
Do I win a prize for first place on opening day? It's all downhill from here
-
I think the idea of the two slots for catchers is that catchers rotate more than other positions so it would be very hard to reach the 162 game limit with one slot even if you are rotating everyday so the 162 game limit is correct but you might want to run with just one catcher (or no catcher) for some parts of the season to avoid going over the limit too early.
-
The max games limit for catchers says 162 currently, is this the intended limit even with the 2 catcher slots?
-
Happy Opening Day everyone!
-
Good luck this season everyone, and happy Opening Day!
-
Hey guys! Looking to make trades quick so that I don’t start missing games in the season. I have an extra starting caliber SS in Tim Anderson and a bunch of good catchers and either Salvador Perez or Will Smith. Let me know if you’re interested!

New owner of Caracas Yankees here. Today's draft works for me. Happy to join the league!
-
Tuesday is fine for me as well.
-
I should be good for Tuesday still.

Great stuff, thank you Acuna Matata. Looking forward to the draft! Still got a team available if anyone knows of someone looking to join a draft...
-
Welcome new managers, great to have you!
It's looking like I may be the lone sticking point for the Tuesday time that's currently set, so let's go ahead with that time. I'll rework my work schedule so I can be there for the first hour or so, and then I'll just exit the draft with whatever I've got at that point and fill in the rest of my roster via adds later. Rather a partial draft than a draft proxy. Sorry for gumming the planning up initially - hopefully Tuesday still works for everyone
-
Hi all. New owner of CA shrimp. I can make time for the draft. I know there is a 'slow draft' option that works better for leagues where can't get everyone in the same room at same time but idk how it works and it probably works better earlier in spring training. At any rate - looking forward to this league and fantasy baseball season again.
-
Okay, so next weekend doesn't seem like it will work, and I think most of us would prefer to get this in before the season starts (not 100% sure, but I think scoring will only commence the day after the Draft).
We've received a couple of messages from people keen on taking the two remaining teams. So will see what we hear from them today and then maybe we figure this out tomorrow?
Far from ideal, but wonder if a draft proxy might be a solution.
-
April 1st works for me as well. Although just curious about the scoring, will the games on March 30th count towards the final season standings or will it start counting April 1st?

Personally, I'd prefer the draft to take place before Opening Day (last year we did on OD), but if everyone is okay with April 1, I'm down. If we do that, I'd prefer not to have any interference with games played on that day as my Phillies play at 10 PM CET. Those are just my preferences, but I'll adhere to anything that suits the majority (provided it's not the middle of the night, but I understand most of us are in Europe so there shouldn't be an issue).
-
Saturday, April 1 would definitely be fine for me.
-
I'm busy both days this weekend, available Sat 1st April (not an April Fool's joke!) but I already have an auction for Sunday evening 2nd April.
-
If we don't do Tuesday, when else would work for everyone?
-
Hey, my buddy actually can’t join the league like he thought. Still need someone to take that team I think.

I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to manage that draft time, as it falls right in the middle of my workday. It's a little tricky, since my time zone is pretty far behind everyone's, being on the US west coast - I'm still stuck in work hours during most of your evenings, while any after-work time for me would probably be in the middle of the night for most other folks. Would it be possible to do a weekend day instead? Maybe a Sunday afternoon/evening for most of y'all (morning for me)?
-
👍
-
Works good for me as well.
-
Draft time is good for me. [thumbs up]
-
How does the current draft time work for everyone?
-
And I've just updated my profile and was shocked to see I've been a member since November 2016, so that's how long I've been pondering getting involved...
-
Glad to have you! Last season was my first one too, it looks a bit scary in the beginning, but you'll pick up very quickly and thoroughly enjoy! Brings a whole new dimension to following the season.
-
Good afternoon, I am the new owner of The Metropolitans. I'm British, living in England, and have never played Ottoneu before so I haven't the foggiest idea what I am doing. But I'll learn. :-)
-
Yup, password is the same!
-
Looks like one of my buddies wants to take Caracas Yankees. The password to claim a team is still the same, yeah?

Hi all, excited for the new season, just took over the team formerly known as Dom and Dommer.
-
Welcome welcome! Pretty cool how this league is spanning about half the globe at this point haha.
-
Great to have you involved! Absolutely, let us know if anyone fancies taking any of the remaining teams :)
-
Hey! Excited to find a league that has people from Europe in it. I live in Cologne, Germany. I’ll see if anyone I know wants to jump in on this league too!

Welcome to the league!
Still searching for new managers as we're only half-full at the moment, but obviously getting a bit short on time. If anyone has anywhere they can try and recruit a few more managers or knows anyone who would be interested, that'd be massively appreciated.
-
Hello and welcome, glad to have you. There's also one crazy Phillies fan from Croatia. :)
-
🖐️Hiya, Welcome! Most of us are east coast or from the UK. We won't hold it against you if you're slow to reply 😂
-
Hey everyone! I just joined the league, taking over the vacated Acuna Matata team; very excited to get into the season! Just fyi, I'm based on the West Coast of the US, so there may be some delay in response time if ever you try to contact me - I promise it's not personal or a reflection of my interest in your trade offer, it's just time zones haha.
-
Same here, should be good!
-
Wonderful, thank you! Looking forward for another great season!
-
I think that'll be what we go for again as I think all of us currently with teams are in Europe.
-
May I ask what time we're going to aim for the draft? I'm asking because I'm based in Europe, last year it was around 2-3 PM ET, which was great for me. If that doesn't work for most, I'll work around it and try to join at whatever time we set it. Thanks!
-
Waiting to fill remaining teams before agreeing draft date and time.
-
Three vacant teams for next season as it stands. Any other spots we'll need to fill before the draft?
