• REMINDER! Draft TONIGHT @ 6pm EST!

  🪐 Planet Gristle 🪐 on March 9, 2025 3:13 PM

• I’m now good. My plans changed and I’ll be full attention For the draft (well best I can with 3 kids)

  Senga Genesis on February 26, 2025 7:49 PM

• Hey all - just a quick update, I forgot we had a couple people who couldn't do earlier than six, so moved it back to the original time of 6pm too.

  🪐 Planet Gristle 🪐 on February 26, 2025 5:12 PM

• Great - I updated the time to 5pm for March 9th. Mark your calendars!

  🪐 Planet Gristle 🪐 on February 19, 2025 6:58 PM

• 5 is great. If not I can make 6 work. I’ll set all my stuff prior so there’s no issues

  Senga Genesis on February 19, 2025 7:49 AM

• Anyone NOT ok if we move the time to 4 or 5pm est?

  🪐 Planet Gristle 🪐 on February 19, 2025 7:47 AM

• I’ll try and make it work. If there’s any chance for a 4-5 draft that would be great otherwise I’ll make it work

  Senga Genesis on February 18, 2025 10:53 PM

• Ten out of eleven responses said March 9th as planned, which was the highest vote getter. So Mimikos if you are cool drafting from your phone then that is the best option to get everyone.

  🪐 Planet Gristle 🪐 on February 18, 2025 10:52 PM

• Alrighty, last call - we got 11 responses, so just missing one. I'll give it another hour or so :)

  🪐 Planet Gristle 🪐 on February 18, 2025 7:53 PM

• alright only missing 4 people! Fill out the form if you haven't yet by tomorrow night, otherwise will make plans for what we got.

  🪐 Planet Gristle 🪐 on February 17, 2025 9:02 PM

• Hi all - please fill out this google form with all the dates you could potentially make, and we'll see if another day other than the 9th can work.

  🪐 Planet Gristle 🪐 on February 17, 2025 12:28 PM

• I can likely draft from my phone if that’s the date that is needed. Looks like I have the ability to do it on this app. Just found out today I’ll be away that weekend. If we can’t move it I’ll make it work.

  Senga Genesis on February 17, 2025 11:19 AM

• Hey everyone - we are all set for the new season! Thanks to Tim for hopping onboard and getting his cuts in quickly. I've scheduled the draft for Sunday, March 9, 2025 6:00 PM EDT - based on everyone's comments that seemed to be a good date. Let me know ASAP if the time or date does not work for you. The draft should take 2-3 hours I think (trying to remember from last year). I've also changed the setting for trade reviews from 48hrs to 24hrs. Let me know if there's an issue with that as well.

  🪐 Planet Gristle 🪐 on February 17, 2025 11:16 AM

• Are we able to not to 3/9. I will likely be away that weekend. I’m good for the 16th if that is still an option.

  Senga Genesis on February 17, 2025 11:07 AM

• Welcome, Tim!

  Boondoggle on February 15, 2025 3:50 PM

• Hey everyone! In case you hadn't noticed, BronxBombers didn't end up doing keepers and then was not very responsive, but we now have a new manager. Welcome Tim to the league! I'll help get him up to speed and since he is just coming in, the cuts he will make will be cap-penalty free. So look forward to having some more players in the pool for the draft. Once Tim is caught up I'll look to schedule the draft, but seems like March 9th is a date to aim for.

  🪐 Planet Gristle 🪐 on February 15, 2025 3:26 PM

• UK is only 4 hours ahead once daylight savings starts on March 9th. So I’m good with a draft starting at 7pm EDT or any time earlier on either the 9th or 16th.

  The Return of the Gristle on February 4, 2025 5:10 PM

• Everyone has paid other than Bronx bombers. Waiting to hear and then we can set the draft. Sundays are generally good for me as well, and yea I'd lean towards earlier dates, think we did it like mid spring training last year!

  🪐 Planet Gristle 🪐 on February 4, 2025 11:04 AM

• I vote one of the Sundays, either March 9th or 16th (lean toward the 9th)

  Cooper Kai Dojo on February 4, 2025 9:17 AM

• The first games of the regular season are March 18-19 if that helps to guide us…

  Boondoggle on February 4, 2025 9:06 AM

• So, are all teams paid up and do we have a good date for the draft? I am flexible and can likely make any time / date work…

  Boondoggle on February 4, 2025 9:05 AM

• Only a few hours left. Gets your cuts and dues in! 👊

  🪐 Planet Gristle 🪐 on January 31, 2025 8:05 PM

• Hey all! Reminder keepers and dues are due this Friday before midnight! Keepers are anyone left on your roster, so make sure to cut who you don't want.

  🪐 Planet Gristle 🪐 on January 30, 2025 4:04 PM

• Hi all - just a reminder, you can renew your league dues at the ottoneu dashboard page. Due the same day as keepers (1/31). Just did mine so I wouldn't forget :)

  🪐 Planet Gristle 🪐 on January 19, 2025 11:10 AM

• Happy New Year everyone! We have a new manager this year taking of "The Heat" (soon to be renamed)? - welcome Christian to the league!
  
  Upcoming events - League dues are due through ottoneu.fangraphs.com by Jan 31st. Keepers are also due then - keepers are anyone you haven't cut by then.
  
  I'll send out a poll at some point too to schedule the draft. Likely do middle of spring training again like last year.
  
  Andy

  🪐 Planet Gristle 🪐 on January 2, 2025 2:05 PM

• Hi all! Arbitration is complete. Everyone now has until January 31, 2025 to make cuts to their team (ie. select their keepers).

  🪐 Planet Gristle 🪐 on November 18, 2024 9:13 PM

• Get your arbitration in, only a couple days left!

  🪐 Planet Gristle 🪐 on November 11, 2024 8:02 AM

• Arbitration starts now! Everyone has a month to complete it

  🪐 Planet Gristle 🪐 on October 15, 2024 9:23 PM

• I think with the 2 games today, waivers claims may still be able to be done if the waiver is completed before the end of the day. So feel free to try it out if there's someone you want.

  🪐 Planet Gristle 🪐 on September 30, 2024 6:58 AM

• Reminder - everyone has to get within their current salary cap (including current loans and penalties) by midnight, transactions can be reversed if needed to make your team legal

  🪐 Planet Gristle 🪐 on September 29, 2024 5:51 PM

• Congrats CKD and the rest of the winners! Looking forward to a great offseason and having a more balanced season in 2025…

  Boondoggle on September 23, 2024 10:59 AM

• Doc Madness gets the honorary King of the Mountain title w/ a winning record over the Dojo this season. Congrats to all on another fun season and moving the keeper/salary chess pieces in place for future runs. Mike pointed out that a third of the league this season had a higher season point total than every team in 2023, so we're collectively figuring this Ottoneu thing out!

  Cooper Kai Dojo on September 23, 2024 8:33 AM

• Great season everyone!! We have one more week of free agency so feel free to tinker with your roster within your current cap space and roster size. If you're not planning on sticking around for next season, let me know so we can fill the spot ideally before arbitration starts (Oct. 15th).

  🪐 Planet Gristle 🪐 on September 23, 2024 7:30 AM

• Congratulations to CKD on another championship!! Well deserved!! And to Mike, Kyle and Andy for having great years! Get ready for arbitration.

  Doc Madness on September 23, 2024 7:19 AM

• Final round of the playoffs! Congrats to Chris and Mike!

  🪐 Planet Gristle 🪐 on September 16, 2024 8:24 AM

• Congratulations to Andyman and Kyle!!! Good luck to all in the next round!!!

  Doc Madness on September 9, 2024 6:48 AM

• Jose Ramirez on the block. Best offer takes him. I need pitching and a 2B to start.

  Senga Genesis on August 26, 2024 10:58 AM

• Last week before the playoffs and trade deadline! Got some close races for the last spots!

  🪐 Planet Gristle 🪐 on August 26, 2024 10:54 AM

• OK, my team is getting better but still way too far out for a playoff spot. Willing to make trades, looking for good keeper candidates.

  Boondoggle on August 7, 2024 5:14 PM

• Hey everyone! Dietz brought this to my attention - this week is a long for week to asg, so you have extra time to get your 1o starters (JULY 8 TO JULY 21)

  🪐 Planet Gristle 🪐 on July 11, 2024 7:57 AM

• Here we go! Set your lineups! Remember - you get a max of 10 starts from your starting pitchers. Choose wisely.

  🪐 Planet Gristle 🪐 on March 27, 2024 9:58 PM

• The schedule has week one from March 20 - April 7

  Doc Madness on March 2, 2024 4:15 PM

• That was quick for the first cut after the draft…

  Boondoggle on March 2, 2024 2:46 PM

• Hey everyone! Reminder - the draft is next Saturday at 1200pm eastern!

  🪐 Planet Gristle 🪐 on February 24, 2024 12:06 PM

• Last chance - making the cuts shortly, send any final ones in now

  🪐 Planet Gristle 🪐 on February 13, 2024 1:26 PM

• Hi all - there was a little confusion over the cut deadline and rosters locking until the draft. So going to give everyone one last chance since this is our first time going through this. Each team can cut up to 2 additional players - you must message me the players and I'll put the cuts in manually.
  
  Deadline is Tuesday, Feb 13th at noon est.

  🪐 Planet Gristle 🪐 on February 10, 2024 11:23 AM

• Also quick reminder (thanks to the other gristle for remembering) - each team needs to have at least $1 available per free roster spot, so even if you don't have the max of 40 players, you need cap space to have them. Example - if you have 39 players, you need $1 of cap space for the 40th player even though you aren't rostering him. Can't have $400 spent on 39 players. Should auto calculate but just a reminder for roster planning purposes.

  🪐 Planet Gristle 🪐 on January 31, 2024 8:28 AM

• Last chance for cuts! Deadline is 11:59pm. Same for league dues 🤑

  🪐 Planet Gristle 🪐 on January 31, 2024 7:45 AM

• Moved to March 2nd

  🪐 Planet Gristle 🪐 on January 28, 2024 6:27 PM

• March 3rd doesn’t work for me
