Happy new year all. I started in the league this time last year and, this being my first full offseason in ottoneu, I'm enjoying watching how the different strategies play out. And really appreciate the energy the new managers have brought to this offseason.

to each their own but some may drop them in hopes to get them for cheaper at the draft

So we have a lot of newbies in this league and carry over from 2022 and they still haven’t learned from the year before. It makes no sense to drop players without being aggressive on all trade options. We have till the end of January. But you show your hand.

It’s good to have some new guys in the league. Activity is always good and the new managers have been that.
-
Welcome again to the league! Not sure if your questions were answered privately, but:
1. I'm pretty sure the penalty free cuts rule applies to in-season cuts only. You can cut players any time from now until the keeper deadline.
2. Keeper Deadline is typically the end of January. It was delayed last year due to the lockout.
3. Roster Organizer page is a great tool for strategizing your team build. Also check out the ottoneu community forum for good Q&A and useful rule

Thanks, and I appreciate any help (been playing fantasy for a long time, but new to Ottoneu)

Never mind, I'm going to keep the Possum Friers team....
Couple of questions/etc
1- In RULES it says "If a team's manager changes, the new manager is given the opportunity to make one round of penalty-free cuts".... what does "one round" mean?? How long do I have??
2- Arbitration ended it looks like, (if that's correct), when is the Keeper Deadline?
3- What else should I know that needs to be done immediately?
4- I'm ready to

Hey everyone, I just claimed a team (possum friars), I actually wanted to take over The Pandalorian, I'm new to this site so I can't figure out how to "unclaim" this team so I can claim The Pandalorian team, thanks!

The arbitration period does seem to kill the momentum of league activity. And off-season is long so some might just be pacing themselves. But I’m ready to start picking it back up.
-
Ok…we shall see.

Sometimes it seems things start slowly. Lots of people focused on football right now. Not me but perhaps others.

None offered. I sent offers with no response.

Well this league is kinda lame. I can see why those teams left. No off-season activity to date. A far cry from my other leagues
-
Darn, sorry to see you all go! Good luck to you, as well.

Hi all. Looks like we have three openings in our league if anyone knows someone who may be interested in 5x5. Thanks.

Hey all. Myself, Angel Hernandez, and Possum have decided to migrate over to a 4x4 format. After much discussion we have concluded that it would be best not to continue in this league. Good luck everyone, it's been a great ride!

Panda, make it one more for 5x5 with 1984. Does not sound like it matters at this point.....

With at least five leaning or all in on 5x5, I don't think it makes a lot of sense to switch.

I'd probably lean 5x5 as well

I prefer to also stay 5 x 5

My opinion is I prefer to stay with the league I signed up with and strategized for the last year on the current league settings
-
It's my understanding that the 4x4 format is more like a points league. OBP gives value to walks, while SLG gives value to non-HR hits. SB's are out. On the pitching side, K's and Saves are out while de-emphasizing closers and HRA can hurt you more than in 5x5. Building a 4x4 team is different than building a 5x5 team. I'd probably prefer doing a 4x4 from scratch but would likely stay either way.

I know the fantasy offseason is still young, but I thought I'd bring this up before arbitration or any league departures that may occur. I'd like to know what everybody's thoughts are on potentially switching to a 4x4 format. I'm not saying we are, and I only brought it up to de facto commish Napalm in passing a couple months ago. I'd just like to have a discussion about it and see what people think.

Anyone else’s neck sore from looking up at Yellowhammer ALL season long? Congratulations to you and to 1984 for making it so interesting.

Congrats to Yellowhammer and the other top 3 finishers! Great season!

I've spent more time today analyzing my lineup and the options that might be best than I have working. Win or lose, this is why it's fun to play.

Yellowhammer and 1984 tied at 89 points going in to game 162. Grab your popcorn!

Hey all, I'm considering trading Judge. I don't want to run into a situation like my last trade, so please send me your best offers.

I understand the logic of the trade and have no problem with it. Both of the closers are cuts at the end of the season. You get what you can get. Small market for overpriced closers this time of the year.
-
If you guys feel it is one sided, as 1984 says, I will accept. I do note that I moved big pieces to Napalm and offered to move pieces to 1984, who I was told was set. I'm not sure who else wants overpriced, underperforming closers for the stretch run.

As the one who accepted the trade, I can tell you my reasoning. Kimbrel has been rough and is an offseason cut for me. I tried trading him earlier in the year and got nothing. Jansen is also very expensive and an offseason cut for me. His numbers are only slightly better than Kimbrel. Both have been featured on my trade blocks, where I received no offers other than Yellowhammer. I wanted to get something back for them.

regarding the trade for Kimbrel and Jansen, I just vetoed that trade. It is one of the weakest and most one-sided trades I have ever seen in all my years at Otto. Just seems like you could get sooooo much more for either of those guys, let alone both of them? I think whether a team is competing or rebuilding, there is an obligation to the other managers to make responsible transactions, and of course set your line up daily. I'm only one vote, I am curious if anyone else feels the same way?
