Commish, please never mock Hutton again! You turned the baseball Gods against you and he is now in first and put me in last! Mouchoir!
-
iD would like to call up Miguel Vargas. Thanks, Dave.
-
A GM has initiated an auction for an MiLB player who was selected already - Vargas. Please do not bid on this player and whoever gets him has to drop him and ensure he clears waivers. I am going to see if I can cancel the auction. Please refer to the google sheets to cross reference younger players before initiating an auction !!!

Dave (or someone), can you send me a fresh invite to the Discord? I can't use the one here anymore, it comes up as expired. I left to try to fix that issue I was telling you about, but can't get back in.

Lol enjoy it while you can commish! 😂😂

I need to enjoy this for the moment it will last. Look at Chixxx - comfy in the cellar

DHH sends down SP Grayson Rodriguez BAL to the minors bench
-
Happy Opening Day Eve - as a reminder you need to go onto your team page and place starters in their slots. The site does not do that automatically - remember this is daily lineup changes if you choose

Kyle, requesting call-up in his best Lou Brown voice: Give me Volpe.

Slam - Call up, Logan O'Hoppe

DHH calls up SP Grayson Rodriguez BAL, and OF Garrett Mitchell MIL

Arses have optioned all of its draft picks to minor league camp. None will be rostered for opening day.

Test

Commish -- you added the wrong Peraza to my roster. I have Oswald Peraza, you added Jose.
-
It's Draft Day ! We start at 7M EST and as a reminder, if you plan to roster any of your MiLB draft picks, post here before noon today. Otherwise, they can be rostered after draft is over. Please review all league rules and check out the draft page before we begin. I will open the zoom link at 6pm and pls sign up for our DISCORD chat !

Mike - this is a much more advanced approach that what we were in before. It takes time to adjust and understand it all. I don't think we all need to be fully immersed overnight. I have just as many questions as you. It's all good.
-
I mean, I personally think we should have a teams / zoom / discord just to shit talk the terrible organizational skills of the Commish, but I’m insubordinate like that. #FreeGaryCarter
-
FWIW... I *have* read the rules section, and perhaps I'm a little dumber than most, but without having actually done a season in the platform, it's difficult for me to understand them fully. It's like the difference between someone reading the baseball rulebook instead of watching or playing a game. Doing my best but I'm gonna have questions.

Muckdogs promote Hunter Brown to 40-man roster
-
Slam - No promotions just yet for me
-
FE will add Oswald Peraza, Masataka Yoshida and DL Hall to the roster -- thanks for the clarification Dave.
-
Please, guys - read the rules section asap.
-
There are no in-season funds, Brian - this is not like the past. We all have $400 for the season. here is rule - II. THE AUCTION DRAFT
All managers will complete their rosters at the annual player auction to be conducted at the discretion of the league members and commissioner
Each manager receives $400 in salary cap money to fill their roster,
-
any reminders you want to put out Dave regarding budget for bids tomorrow vs funds for in-season etc?
-
Mike/Eichhorns - do you still want all your 10 MilB players given roster space ?
-
We all have 40 main roster spots, FYI - here is the rule...Each team shall during the regular season maintain a roster of 22 major-league players that can fill out a starting lineup as defined below. The remaining 18 roster spots can be used for reserves, consisting of both major and minor leaguers. A roster of 22 major-league players capable of filling out a starting lineup as defined below shall be maintained regardless of any games started, games played or innings limits.
-
Dave - I do like the idea of somewhere other than the message board, to communicate between owners, as the season plays out. It would be helpful if the league board could be broken down to Topic threads, but I don't know if that is an option, anywhere here.
-
The discussion here has been helpful. I was thinking there was some 'carryover' from your previous league, but if we are 100% in the structure of Ottoneu, I can take it from there.
-
Thanks Kyle ! Very helpful and happy to pause to make sure we're all on same page. Also happy to have a side Teams/Zoom chat - I can share link and pls join if you like
-
A few other notes ... There is a chat in the Auction Draft page, so you can ask questions/bemoan getting sniped on a pick. Commish should also have the option to pause the draft at any time, which helped in the other draft I did. Might suggest pausing it after a couple picks to ask if everyone has the hang of it? Lastly, auction drafts of this size take a looong time, so be prepared for a war of attrition. Idk if any of that helps, but all that is to say the draft's not too bad here.
-
I really like that idea, Mike/Eichhorns - I was actually thinking about a Discord/Slack chat as this Board sucks yes, and most of us don't seem to follow it or emails. I am open to ideas on a separate chat channel. The draft runs quickly and if you have not, I STRONGLY ADVISE you to open draft page here...it's always open and you can add your players to your list to select. Jamie - you asked about draft order. It seems to be the order that we signed up for this league - check it out, man
-
I'm by no means an expert, but I recently did my first Ottoneu draft, so thought I'd share a couple points since I think we're all new. It's not a bad setup. If you haven't yet, it'll let you see the "draft room" format anytime if you click Auction Draft. You can build a watchlist ahead of time/during the draft. From what I could tell, it doesn't show you player stats, nor your full team, while in the draft, so expect to have a few windows open. It will update your roster page in real
-
Muck - this is a new league and for many of us/most of us, we're all new to Ottoneu, so we're all learning. I asked all of you at the beginning for some patience as we learn and grow the league. I do not know what you mean structure in offseason. I will again point everyone to the site rules - they govern this league and I, as Commish, actually don't do much but play and enjoy. There is an offseaon keeper/arbitration process we all need to know and follow. Does that help Muck ?
-
Questions here as well. As a new member, I don't necessarily need a zoom, but I think before the draft we need some structure defined, to the offseason, going into 2024.
-
Also: despite my best efforts to understand all the rules and nuances on this platform, I assure you I will have at least a half dozen stupid questions to ask during the draft because I have never done this before. I may not be alone. Can we set up a Zoom/Teams meeting during the draft so we can maybe hash these out in real time rather than with the rather clunky message board?
-
Hi, not sure if this is what is needed but I will put all my MiLB picks on the MiLB bench pre-draft. They are Eury Perez, Royce Lewis, Marco Luciano, Masataka Yoshida, Orelvis Martinez, Oswald Peraza, Jasson Dominguez,DL Hall, Robert Hassell III, and Owen White.
-
What’s the auction player nomination order?
-
They are not locked and available any time. I am hoping to avoid draft drama by ensuring no MiLB players are accidently selected to be auctioned and then we have to ensure the team that has player gets him. But then it costs $1 and a roster spot. But you can select a player anytime during season.
-
If NOT called up pre-draft, are MiLB players locked in minor slot for the duration of 2023 season?
-
Champs call up Ezequiel Tovar and Tristan Casas
-
REMINDER - DRAFT starts at 7PM EST/EDT Saturday sharp. I am expecting everyone. Please remember to submit your MiLB players you'd like on your roster before the DRAFT so I can add them for $1. Post them here and I will add them. This is optional only if you would like to move a player from MiLB bench to your main roster, but they will cost you the $1 and a roster spot.
-
CDLB call up: walker, jung, senga
-
Colt Keith 3B DET
-
I'll take Owen White, P TEX
-
As we prepare to finish this draft, thank you all. This is an exciting part of the league - as a reminder, you are able to roster any player chosen in this draft. I would ask you to pls list them on here before our Sat draft so they can't be auctioned. You have until Saturday March 25th at noon. Pls remember that each player is $1 and you need roster space - I will be writing some rules around future MiLB draft dates/times in season for us all to decide on.
-
Not here till 2025 but CDLB take the Japanese babe Ruth, munetaka murakami

In support of Can-Con requirements, DHH selects 2B Édouard Julien MIN
