League Message Board
-
Sent you a message about the in season moves rules. Yes can acquire cap space via trades or cuts(there’s a cap penalty explained in detail in the rules section). Auctions during the season are 48hrs with blind bidding to the highest bidder, any ties during the season go to the team lower in standings
-
And these current auctions for players I see on the league page - these are players that have been nominated/bid on and will be processed Saturday?
Thanks for your patience in answering my Qs!
-
This is my first year in ottoneu. I need to create cap space.
What are the ways I can do that? Through trade... and through dropping a player that is picked up by another team?
-
I have someone that can help as well. Reminder draft tonight at 8central/9est
-
I sent a message to one owner that is pretty good and experienced and a message to another league that I am in that doesn't have as much cross ownership in this league to see if they can draft for you Grizz.
-
Yes no need to reschedule I'm good with a proxy if you can find one through the posting
-
At this point may be hard to reschedule since it'll be in 2 days and really was the only day we had majority available. Could try to post on the forums for a proxy drafter which I've had luck with in the past.
-
I just found out I have to travel for work Thursday. It is too late to reschedule, so how should we best handle that? I'm fine just using the waiver wire after the draft to fill the spots if we have to. If anyone knows someone that could draft for me I could provide a general range of targets.
-
Looks like Thursday March 6th at 8PM CST was the best option for all. Thanks everyone and hopefully can keep that date. Should be a fun draft! if any questions just let me know.

Auction should be very interesting this year.
-
Last day to make any moves/cuts before the draft. Everyone has renewed for next year and looks like the season starts with the tokyo series march 18th, so if want to do get a draft in before then. Let me know if have any availability issues for march and can send out a poll tomorrow. Thanks for a fun offseason!

Anyone interested in Rutschman. He's yours for a cheapish starting 3B.

Welcome new owner of Diamond Dogs, Jack. Know him from another dynasty league. Savvy owner, but first try at ottoneu. Should be a quick learner and improve his standings next year. Thanks everyone for a great offseason! Hopefully everyone renews on time and can set a draft date after the 31st deadline.

Boston, although it looks like the window is closed with Bergeron retiring and overpaying swayman. Will always pay a little extra for some Red Sox! I saw a bunch of bear themed names and joined in. Excited to play hopefully we can get two more managers soon
-
Welcome Big Bad Bruins! Boston or UCLA?
-
Welcome new owner Big Bad Bruins! Already some fun trades in. Looks like we're looking for 2 new owners now. Will make a post on the forms at some point soon. Keeper deadline/renewal time is january 31st. If not coming back just let me know and best wishes to everyone in the new year!

Golden Bat Rule:
Manfred should be fired for even considering this.
-
Right now the average price of Acuna is inflated by the fact we are before the cut deadline. I think Acuna should dip into the high/mid forties is fairly price but by no means cheap. I like the trade and did offer Acuna trades to other teams as do believe premium players should be shopped for league parity.

The second torn acl i think should bring down his value, but I agree 42 is a low price for Acuna. I made the trade because Schulz is the best pitching prospect in my book. I should be able to find an acuna replacement in the auction with my cap space but would not be able to replace a top propsect in the draft. If this was during the season, I would not have made the trade. Also, Acuna not beinf ready at start of the season and Schukz easy path to white sox starter also a factor

I'm curious on the rationale for the Acuna+ trade for Noah Schultz. Chicago Mayors I think had $96 in open cap space before the trade and has now traded the lowest priced Acuna ($42) by far in any league I play in to the league champion.
-
No problem Grizz, I could use the extra $3 ;).

Apologies to all for missing arb. I shut out baseball thoughts after watching the Yankees World Series abomination and thought I had until next week. Open for trade offers and hopefully Steinbrenner pays Soto.

Thanks! This was a nail-biter all the way to the end. Didn't feel comfortable until after Saturday's games. This one was particularly important as I finished 2nd in my 3 other leagues this year. I am definitely coming back next year.

Congrats Winnetka Bears! As well as Vizzini and Sam I AM for a great top 3 seasons! Hopefully everyone had a great time and will be back next year. If not just let me know and can find a replacement if need. Next step is arbitration. Thanks everyone for a fun season!

Heckuva fun race all season. Congrats Bears. You earned it.

Tough break on Christian Scott. Pitching prospects have been scarce lately and Scott was legitimately a good one.

These things are hard to predict, but I would be thoroughly shocked if the White Sox are contenders within 5 years. I would expect another regime change, another rebuild, and 8+ years. I don't see moving as a possibility.
-
Even if you have a steve cohen type owner, there are only so many premium or team building free agents available each you. You would have to think it will take at least 5 years for the white sox to be a playoff co.tender. they need to develop multiple future starters a year and get lucky in free agency. They don't have an unlimited budgey either. I hate to say this, but them moving to amother city could jumpstart a rebuild.

I need 70+ points a day to beat my last place finish from last year. I should jusy change my name to the white sox. But wouldn't it be fair to say that White Sox need 23-26 new starting players to ? And as you said, their farm system is average to belpw average.
Chicago Mayors on

That would have been just the White Sox luck (trading for River Ryan). Since I believe that most of you guys know more than the so-called experts in the sports media, how long do you think a massive rebuild like the White Sox would normally take? Their major league roster is one of the worst we have ever seen and their farm system is merely average.
-
If anyone is interested in football, check out the Claims page - the league is called The Good Place (league 148). We're looking for some owners.

I read the dodgers offered Ryan for Crochet which would have worked out very well it seems

I can't believe River Ryan went down. Is it bad luck? Training staff? Pitching coach? Seems to me that the Dodgers have had more problems with injuries to young star pitchers than any other team.
-
Yes Vaughn is a good comparison. Definitely overrated since they were only hit/no field but they didn't even do the hit part
-
I've watched a number of Tiger games, and I'm on the phone with a Tigers fan all day. I was mystified that he was ever ranked in the top five for the draft let alone being the top overall pick. It was a stupid idea starting Torkelson out at 3B, he is an awful fielder who has trouble at 1B. Similar circumstances and results for the White Sox and Andrew Vaughn. That being said, neither of these players should be this bad.
-
I do not watch many Tigers games but I do not understand how they messed up Spencer Torkelson so badly. He destroyed baseballs.
-
Hope everyone enjoyed opening day! It was going great for me until Royce Lewis got hurt again! Hopefully not for long.
