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.
-
We have added a new member - Hartattax -who is taking over for Honey Nut
-
Pitching a Maddux should have emailed all of You- I am just following up, it looks like we are down 2 to 3 managers. I have one person that I am recruiting to join this league- So if You have some active managers from another league let me know. This league was brand new when We all joined and We had descent play for Our 1st year. Any manager positions not filled by Jan 31st will be put out to the public for membership in Yippee Ki Yay
-
I'm also intending on renewing by Jan 31, would like to hear from commissioners the plan for 2024.

Personally - suggest that we give the three teams a week to allocate their Arbitration points at which point if they haven't, they be removed and that week seek new owners for those three teams. It's going to be a bummer if this league dies because people don't renew their teams due to no resolution from this situation. I've personally renewed either way as I had a blast but I understand other's hesitancy.
Regardless of plans, can the league commissioners please share them with the
-
so have we come to any conclusions on teams that did not complete arbitration? If those teams have bailed, we need to get some new owners. My fees are paid through 1/31. Hopefully we have full ownership by the time I have to renew the fees.
-
not sure how to complete the arb but as far as i remember the fee for the league is due by Jan 1st

Just checking in everyone, so we have any steps to take to complete the arbitration process for the league asap? If we need to invite new players to the league I'm curious if that's something we want to complete prior to them joining. Also, is there a day by which we all need to have paid for the next season? Just want to make sure everyone is aware if that exists.
-
Do we have anything that we need to do as a group to complete the uncompleted portion of Arb for the league? Wondering if we should do that before people make trades etc.
-
Friendly reminder, tonight's the deadline for Arbitration
-
Just a heads up, tomorrow is the deadline for Arbitration.
-
I will be returning. Just havent done arbitration yet

havent tried yet could be just off season disengagement

"those two" referencing Newark and Chourios, not league champ and co-commish :)

I hear ya, once we're down to a few teams left to do arbitration (league champ and co-commish among those still needing to do it), would probably be good time to discuss, does seem only one of those two has even done add/drop since late May, which is pretty early to give up on season if at bottom after slow start, and no activity since April is pretty glaring (my main thought is if an owner conceded season, but April/May way too early to do that).

I don't want to be unfair to either of them or too hasty in moving to replace, but to be fair they haven't visited the site in 3-4 months, so in my opinion it's not premature to at least figure out how we'd make their potential continued absence affect the league as little as possible. I'm not worried that they haven't yet done Arb, more that they haven't logged in at all in so long which makes me think there's no reason to believe they suddenly will.
-
And the reminder was to the effect of "do it sometime between Oct 15 and Nov 14", so we probably shouldn't be replacing people on Day 2 ;)

Arbitration just started, so we should definitely wait a bit, one of the co-commishes hasn't even done it yet.

I don't know if there would be a way to implement it, but in the event both teams owners don't participate, could we just as a group spread their arb allocation how we collectively think makes the most sense? They each have $25 so $50 total, maybe the 10 of us each allocate an additional $5? I have no idea if that could work in the ottoneu platform - just trying to think of how to mitigate the disruption their potential continued absence would have as much as possible
-
Are we part of the voting off thing as well or just arbitration? Episode 79 of the Keep or Kut podcast gave me a pretty good idea of the arb strategies. I'd second tracking or replacing.

yeah arbitration without full participation kinda sucks to be honest so they should be tracked down or replaced ASAP IMO

Just a heads up to the league - Newark Bears and Honey Nut Chourios each haven't visited the Ottoneu site since July. Is there any way we can give them a deadline to log in and complete Arbitration before attempting to get new owners for those teams? Maybe an Ottoneu vet can chime in for how this tends to work, but it feels like two teams not completing Arb would be pretty bad, and if there will be new owners anyway isn't sooner (pre arb closure) better than later?
-
Arbitration is pretty easy fellas, and underway, also looks like we can't cut guys during this arbitration period.

Congrats, Dats. Absolutely dominated the finals. Had a blast this year and looking forward to continuing to build upon this season. Hope everyone enjoyed it and comes back for next season. Remember to log back on between 10/15 and 11/14 to complete arbitration. It’s a fairly quick process for those of you who are new to Ottoneu. In addition, cuts can be made anytime prior to the keeper deadline on 1/31/24.

congratulations to Maddux and Dat, should be a fun Final!

Congrats to everyone who made the playoffs! As we hit the final stretch of the season, please remember to do your arbitration when the season ends. Basically, you will have 3 dollars allotted for each team to add to salaries. It's easy to check out of the league once you're eliminated, so please remember to check back in on the league once the off-season starts in a few weeks. Been a fun year and good luck to everyone in our "postseason".

wander franco story is crazy but reminds me of the Big Lebowski pederast quote.

Learned an important Ottoneu lesson today, cutting a $1 player provides no cap relief. Messed myself up with the Mookie/Robert Jr. trade and had to make some bad cuts to have a legal roster.

Morning everyone, sorry for the late intro! Grew up a Sox fan due to family allegiances, but I lived in Florida for a long time and the Rays are my second team because of proximity over the years. Many fond memories of the Trop despite what people like to say about it. I now live in Massachusetts as well (Hi Ben). Really excited to be a part of this league and try Ottoneu out with all of you, the dynasty nature of it, giant rosters, arbitration element, point system, so far it's been great.
-
....Glad to have a fellow Dawg in the league, Zimmer. I was too young to remember Sid's slide but I have watched it many times over. What an epic experience.
-
I need a quick rant bc I had to cut Tim Anderson. I overspent at the draft and have been living without any cap space, which is totally unsustainable. Messed up my roster with a few adds/cuts and I needed some breathing room and he's the only player that made sense to make my roster legal. One of the toughest cuts I've had to make and exactly why you don't want to leave the draft with no cash. Hope someone can learn from my mistakes..and someone will give Tim a nice home on their IL.
