Hi, I am Tom. I am from Orland Park, IL, a SW burb of Chicago. I am a Mortgage Banker at Mutual of Omaha Mortgage. With rates so bad, I have lots of free time to pay attention to fantasy baseball! Lifelong Cubs fan that has spent way too much time in the Wrigley bleachers, but I did manage to go to game 7 in 2016! I have one daughter who is currently a 3 sport athlete (Basketball, Cross Country, and Track) at Aurora University. She is probably the smallest player in NCAA at 5'0", 100 lbs!

Yo yo, I'm Jimme, currently reside in Las Vegas and hail from California, been playing fantasy baseball for a few decades off and on (mostly on past decade), am in several dynasty leagues, most on CBS. Also do fantasy football and basketball, and sports betting of course. Otherwise I travel a lot, have a cool little family, and am close to acquiring my Irish passport. Workwise I'm a data engineer,, and Zion in my team name is a reference to reggae/rasta, as I'm a big music lover (who isn't?).

Of course! Glad you asked. Best for the league if people are always asking any questions they have. What subject(s) do you teach?
-
Thanks for clarifying! I assumed people were just bidding at the last second. I'm a teacher and I tell my kids to read the instructions and I didn't... Also have some EBay baseball card PTSD.

Auction Rule - "All in-season auctions are Vickrey auctions with blind bidding. The player is awarded to the team that makes the highest bid, and the player's salary is $1 more than the second highest bid. If there are no other bids, the player is awarded for $1 or the player's cap penalty if applicable. If two teams are tied for the highest bid, the player salary is that amount. If no one bids at all, the nominating team is awarded the player for $1 or the player's cap penalty if applicabl
-
Since it is a blind auction there is really no way to be "sniped"
-
Is there a notification setting via email for being sniped at the end of an auction? Many of us cannot be online at exactly the end time and be refreshing the page. Without an app sending notifications, how do people know that they were outbid in the last few minutes?

Hi All - my name is Luke. I am from Atlanta and a big Braves fan. I am 33 and just got married this past December. I don't have kids yet but I imagine they'll be coming sooner than later. I love baseball and have been playing fantasy for the last decade or so. I also love college football and a big fan of UGA. We want this league to be active and fun for all, so feel free to reach out if you have any issues. Looking forward to another great season!

I am thrilled to have the chance to Compete/Play with You!

I manage an economic development entity for the Coharie Tribe. I coach little league baseball and have participated in Fantasy Baseball for over 10 years(my 3rd yr in Fantrax and 2nd yr in Ottonue)

Pitching a Maddux and I ( Twinke's ) thought we should share a little about ourselves ( The Entire League ).-- Our goal is to build a long-lasting League and a sense of community is part of it!-- No Pressure and if You do not want to participate that's OK ( we are thrilled to have You as part of the League!! )
-
No Apologies Necessary - We all appreciate that You care enough to comment - After a few less Coors Light it was a touch lopsided
-
For what it’s worth Zimmer, I was also thinking about what/how to comment on this deal. I feel similar. All 8 players going to Dude are (were) either objectively positive value relative to salary or fair market but very productive (Munoz). I also don’t mean to be difficult or accusatory, just wanted to chime in with the same sentiment. Feels like a kinda bizarrely lopsided deal with a very large amount of players, while additionally being a new managers first deal in the league.

Trade winds are blowing, and deals starting to steamroll!

I apologize to both Nakatomi and The Dude. It is a free league, and as a general rule, you should be able to trade as you wish. If you value players different than the other owners do, that is your prerogative. I just felt that trade was rather lopsided in value and needed more than a token review by the rest of the owners. I have no idea how the voting went on it, and if I was the only one that objected. But, believe me, I don't like vetoing trades and I hope you guys are able to rework it
-
I will restructure Trade with Dude - I have Lowe, Davish ( childhood favorite ), and Wright( He will be back!!) in other leagues and try to keep the players I have to follow to a manageable group. Please feel free to send any Trade offers my way, trading is 1/2 the Fun in these leagues
-
Just CXL'd Trade - The league is more important than any Trade
-
Happy to CXL deal or take Williams out
-
Seems to me pretty well balanced if Gavin Williams wasn't thrown in, don't really see the return for including him when balancing everything else out, but wouldn't say it's egregious, sometimes people get the better of trades, maybe Williams doesn't turn into a future ace and Cy Young candidate. Kind of a head-scratcher to take on a fading 37 year-old Darvish for two front-line starters in their 20's though, if factoring out the hitters and relievers who roughly balance out.

I dont want to cause trouble, but can someone tell me what benefit Nakatomi is getting from that trade? Owners, Please review it before it passes. Dude is getting better players now, and in the future, and even getting salary cap relief. That is the kind of lopsided deal that kills leagues. I cant see a single benefit for Nakatomi. I understand prospects for current players... but one side is getting it all.

Zimmers chaw - It says You are not online at Auction
-
I can see players to nominate, but cant text in chat box, etc... My internet is obviously working to send this message. But getting error in draft room
-
In Draft room, I am getting an error that says Error communicating with server. Is that a problem for others?
-
All - I gave Nakatomi an extra cut since joining the league late after Cuts - The C after cut denotes I made the change
-
Welcome Nakatomi and Co -

Hi All - we are still waiting for many of you to fill out the form below. Right now, we have the draft date set for this Sunday (3/3) at 7pm EST. If this time doesn't work for you, please let me know ASAP.
-
I didn't fill out the schedule, am flexible so whatever it gets set so be it.

I added times, but with so many unsigned players I would prefer to wait as close to opening day as possible. I could probably make most times work.

Hi All - I know draft season is upon us and many leagues are setting dates, so I wanted to send a link to find a time that works for everyone. I can't imagine the auction will take longer than 2-2.5 hours max. The options are from 2/11 to 3/23 - you can slide the mouse down to select multiple times at once. I would have used Doodle but it wanted me to buy a pro membership so I'm using LettuceMeet. If you have any questions, let me know. https://lettucemeet.com/l/4bmrv

Hi all, thanks for having me - Tim set me up and I'm very excited to join the league. I am Australian and I have a lot of baseball/ dynasty baseball xp but this is my first Ottoneu league so I'm looking forward to the challenge!
-
Welcome Aussie All-Stars - He really is from Australia!! Our League is now FULL and Legit!!
-
We still have 1 Team(formerly the Stardusters) (I have a person mulling it over) to replace and Have 3 Managers who need to renew for the 24-season ASAP
-
Welcome, Hank!! Thanks for joining
-
My name is Hank and I just took over the Newark Bears team, which is now called A-Rod's Ego. This is my first Ottoneu league but I have heard great things and am excited to be here. I made some cuts already but open to trades if I have anyone of interest.

Just heard back from StarDuster - He is out - We just filled Newark Bears and have 2 possibilities for StarDuster - We Will Fill This Spot!!- Pitching a Maddux is going to send out a Questionnaire/Poll for a convenient Draft date -
-
Pitching a Maddux and I have been working on filling the last spot and have a few prospects - Please reach out to any Managers You know and Respect
-
We need to find a new owner pretty quickly. The keeper deadline is 1/31 and the Newark Bears are over the salary cap and need to cut players. Any new owner that takes ownership after 1/31 will be at a huge disadvantage if they have to drop players after 1/31 and still have it affect their cap for the whole season.
-
We have 1 more Team to fill and Yippee Ki Yay will be complete - Please refer any active managers from other leagues and let me know.
