League Message Board

With half of my roster on the IL, I'm in sell mode. My entire roster is available for trade, with my focus on acquiring talent that helps me next year. Please send offers :)
-
if you want to claim a guy cut you click the small Claim link on the league homepage the click the check box. Those are 24 hour claims, then they can be reauctioned by anyone. Reminder when you claim you get them for the price they were cut at, not half price, like you would if you start a free agent auction.
-
Click the Baseball Icon (mobile) or the Players Tab (desktop) and then a search feature will come up. From there you click the player name and there will be a Green Start Auction button. Then you can put your price in.

Hey guys, Edwin Diaz's knee exploded and I've dropped him. Question is, how do I claim a free agent?
-
Power rankings are fun but rarely accurate. I've been predicted to win multiple leagues after auction but didn't even place in the top five many of those seasons. That's one thing that's fun about fantasy baseball, it's a long season and a lot can happen to change outcomes.
-
These power rankings seem to be as helpful as the surplus calculator -- if it says your team is on top, it's the best! And should be taken as gospel! If it says your team is on the bottom (raises hand), then these rankings are crap and should be wholly discarded!
-
What exactly are these power rankings measuring? An index of total team points expected?

I will post the FantasyPros power rankings for the league as 3 posts (due to the character limit).
Notes:
- These power rankings are based on this season only. They do not put much value into prospects and no value into salary.
- These rankings ARE based on our scoring system.

Great Draft guys, it ran smooth. Reminder, when you cut someone pay attention to your cap space, you need $1 for each space...also you can re-auction your cuts after 30 days, that is a good way of getting money back (if someone else doesn't snatch them up). I am happy to answer any questions, just DM me.
-
Great works for me. Just wanted to make sure I was the only one with the wrong date ha!

I can't be held responsible for what I said at midnight last week, but it has been the 14th. But if I said Wednesday, I am sorry.
-
It was definitely Tuesday the 14th at signup.
-
I’m good with Tuesday 14th, but thought we said Wednesday? Maybe I misread before. Just want to make sure

Reminder part 2 of the draft is Tuesday March 14th 8:15 pm until end, which should be less than 3 hours
-
Tip for searching for players, have a few tabs open, auction, roster, and player search....in the player search you can filter by ownership % (mlb or milb or both) and as the draft goes on that is helpful for finding players you may have forgotten about.
-
It means at the moment no one else from the league is online looking at their team or players etc
-
Hey guys, quick question. Inside the draft it say's I'm the only participant drafting online. What does that mean?
-
Thanks for all the info, looking forward to stumbling through my first draft day :D
-
Don't tell me how to live my life RJ

also during the draft you have the option to +1 +2 or +5, or typing in your bid amount, you can get burned (especially the first night) by people jumping up quickly (i am guilty of this). You also can start a nomination higher than $1, I will do this a lot (no need to start Judge below $30) so be careful.
-
Now that we are full, there is a button on the home screen that says "Auction Draft" you can enter the room now and get familiar with the system, its basic, but works well. You can set up a watch list and during the draft you will get a ding each time a player is nominated. I would spend 10 - 15 minutes getting used to the system (aka how to search and where the buttons are).
-
Really looking forward to getting this started on the 8th.
-
Hey everyone, looks like I’m the 12th team here. Looking forward to the draft next week

Welcome all the new faces, the 3 comishes have played for years and here to answer any questions. The draft room should appear once the league fills (4 more spots). I would recommend getting comfortable with it and loading your queue so the draft goes as quickly as possible. Please note the draft days are 8th and 14th.
-
I've been thinking about joining for a few years but couldn't talk any of my buddies into it, finally taking the plunge now. Thanks for the info, definitely doing a lot of research ahead of time! Luckily I have already done auction drafts and deep keeper leagues so I have some experience, just not with Ottoneu itself.
-
Welcome! I got talked into Ottoneu a few years ago and have loved it. Excited to start a brand new league with y’all. I’d recommend reading as many articles as possible to familiarize yourself with the structure/tips/tricks. Here’s a good article to start with: https://fantasy.fangraphs.com/10-tips-for-ottoneu-rookies/
-
Hey all, this is my first time with Ottoneu so please forgive me if I'm a bit lost this year :) Looking forward to playing and thanks for having me!
-
Ottoneu has its own draft room - you’ll just go to the homepage and there will be an option to enter the draft
-
What site does the draft run through, yahoo, cbs? Or does Ottoneu have its own draft room
