For tonight's draft, if you are a first timer you can click in the draft room early and play around to get comfortable. Please make sure you make your nominations, if you miss a few times you will get locked out. Additionally if you are MIA we will do our best to find someone to draft for you, please communicate with us.
-
Reminder. Draft 1 week from tonight
-
Draft day is set for Monday, March 3rd at 9pm ET/8pm CT. Sorry if this is late for any east coasters but moving the time back 30 min helped everybody that Doodled make the date. Let me or one of the other bonehead commissioners know if you can't make it and we can work to find a fill-in. See y'all in a few weeks for the draft!
-
I'm sure Chris will update us soon. But according to the doodle 3/3 is better than 3/2 now.
-
I have another draft 3/2 as well so would prefer another date if possible

I know at least 3 of us have another draft at the same time on 3/2 already.
-
Looks like the leader in the clubhouse is Sunday, March 2nd - with 7/8 voters have okād that date so far. We will do our best to find one that works for everybody but if you canāt make it we can always get a proxy to make sure you donāt completely miss out.
-
Here we go. Please fill it out by Monday so we can lock down schedules... https://doodle.com/meeting/participate/id/e9Gz0L3b

Boulware get a doodle going

Good to see you again man!

Welcome to the league, and welcome back to Ottoneu!
-
Hello everyone! Iām excited to pick up the last abandoned team. Itās been 6-7 years since Iāve been in an Ottoneu league but looking forward to being back. Iāll make my cuts tonight.

I got Safari to finally enable my location correctly and am renewedā¦Thanks
-
I believe as long as trades are accepted by the cut deadline, theyāll go through
Try going into your browser settings. Thatās what I had to do today. If you use chrome you can go to settings, search ālocationā in the search bar, and it should send you to the right place.
-
Any trade accepted before the deadline will be processed -- just keep in mind you can no longer cut any players in the trade until after auction. As for your payment question, see the "Paydala FAQ" link at the top of the page, that should help.
-
Can you still make trades if they are agreed upon by tomorrow the 31st? Also, am trying to renew for 2025 and it's telling me my browser needs to enable location, but my location on browser is enabled and it's still locking me out from paying..Can someone assist? SM
-
Hey gang - we have an opening in the league, as Mascot Dance Fight is now available. If any of you have a friend whoās interested, please recruit them to take over that team!
-
Hey everyone! Excited to join the league--long-time listener, first-time caller for ottoneu, so feel free to take advantage of my ignorance as I get my feet under me.
-
š thanks I'll let him know
-
There is a chance I cut Steinbrener too.
-
Pitch Clock Violatior needs an owner.
-
Just FYI I've got a friend interested in joining this league if we end up needing anyone for next season.
-
I would agree we tend to undervalue current (next) year production, but this time of year we are trying to build a roster for next year, so don't forget to look at the roster you are trading with. I am already expensive, so i cant take on $$$, even if it makes my team better.
-
From what I've learned, everybody values players differently when playing Ottoneu. Also, when I first started, I had difficulty valuing studs. I'm not saying that's what's happening with you re: Burnes...I'm just sharing my experience. It is a weird combination of dynasty and auction fantasy, which I think makes it more fun than standard ESPN/Yahoo fantasy.
-
In that case, we should throw out all players over like $30 and just compete with the guys with salaries under that..You shouldnāt be fearing a player because of his salary, you should be focusing on his talent and what he can bring to your squad..Trades are something you should be able to make to improve your team and the other team. To run away from letās say one of the top MLB pitchers in the game, Burnes because he makes $41 is SILLY..He will only make more than that if put back in draft..
-
What I donāt get about Ottoneu F.B. is you try to make a trade of Player A who is obviously higher rated and is worth multiple players in return and the response is: āNo, I like the salaries better with Player B and Player C, so Iām gonna pass.ā It would be one thing if the guy I was offering had a salary in his 40ās, but this guy is under $20..What use is trying to trade players to make the game more fun, if every other owner is gonna be afraid to deal based on the salary of your given player?
-
If anyone is interested in Devers, hit me up
-
You can cut now until midnight (ET) on Jan 31. Trades are open as well until then. Click on the wrench icon at the top and it will show all the important dates.
-
When are we allowed to Cut players from our roster where it costs us nothing and they wonāt be able to be bid on until Draft Day? SM
-
Willing to trade Corbin or Grayson from my starting staff..Looking for an offensive piece that delivers in just about all categories, a Jarren Duran typeā¦SM
-
Last day for arb is tomorrow! Still need 4 if you to submit yours!
-
You shut your mouth when talking to me!

Personally I think the 3 stooges is a more apropos nickname for the commissioner triumvirate
-
Friendly reminder to complete arbitration...just over 2 weeks left!! If you're not planning on keeping this team next year, please let one of the 3 Musketeers/Commissioners know, but also still go through arbitration.
-
Congrats Ilitch -- dominating performance this year.
-
Bad timing by me
-
Garret Crochet, who will definitely be a contending teamās #1 in their rotation in 2025 is available right now in trade..However, Iām not giving him away..Looking for talented active MLB hitters and SP or who are just on the cusp of making an impact in 2025..Crochet is worth $1 now and a bargain to acquire now before arbitration hits.ā¦SM
-
Even though he is currently on the IL, is there any interest in Grayson RodrĆguez in a trade? Let me know..SM
-
I was going to message one of the 3 commissioners but since a couple of you are here discussing this same topic, Iāll just mention it here..The trade I made with Mascot was supposed to be Kwan and Travis for Crochet, but somehow, accidentally, Kwanās box was not checked even though I swore I checked it..I had the trade request open in 2 different windows, so maybe the first window closed without me completing the deal, therefore activating it..SM
-
That's def worth a veto IMO...and I don't like throwing around a veto very often
-
I donāt want to use the C word but I had to veto that one. Maybe a mistake

That has to be an accident or collusion, there's almost 0 chance Travis is woth $13 let alone for one of the best pitchers in baseball. Especially one that is $1.
-
WTF is that trade
-
As someone who recently did this, yup! Or you can think it about it as -8 change from the original $20
-
Question on cap penalties (I think I have this straight but checking) - If I cut a $20 player, thereās a $10 cap penalty issued. If I wait 30 days and re-auction the same player and win it at say $12, the original $10 penalty disappears, and I sign him for a net overall change of +$2. Accurate?
-
Bo Bichette and Jazz Chisholm currently very available...
-
Ah! Thanks for clarifying.
-
162 total....without 2 spots it would be close to impossible to get to 162
-
So with 2 catcher spots in daily lineups, is the season max 162 games total for the catcher position, or 162 games for each catcher?
