Will be back for 2022

Congrats to both BOHICA & The Usual Suspects on the great season and for being #20 and #21 on the overall leader board for SABR points in Ottoneu.

Congrats to Bohica for championship and to Suspects and Charlie making podium. Thanks for great job Commishes, hope we get exciting baseball in the next month and a half
-
Congrats on a great, fun season everyone! Especially to the champ, Bohica. He has been chasing me for months and finally passed me on the final day
-
Anyone here doing a fantasy basketball league?
-
LeagueI created in $20 Ottoneu Fantasy Football league called Dingleberry Circus. It is Flex (WR/RB/TE) + Superflex (QB/WR/RB/TE), 1 PPR, 1 division, top 6 make the playoffs. Draft is 9/7 @ 8:30 PM EST. Come join the party!! https://ottoneu.fangraphs.com/football/invite?invite=eyJMZWFndWVJRCI6MTk0LCJJbnZpdGVySUQiOiIxMzEzOTgifQ==

I would say, he keeps his roster as it is but we will have to rule next year on this so we don't go thru the same discussions
-
and that the draft room would be open for him (and others at the end), somebody wanted to stay or come back, they could keep money and do it, if not well they couldn't say anything about it. My problem is inconsistency about this strategy in Ottoneu, some leagues allow you to do what Bohica did but some don't so maybe that's what brings a little frustration, but no big thing (though I see almost all of those 1$ picks are already on block to attract fans and get some bigger players or cash).
-
I agree that he didn't get elite players with the free shopping at the end but a couple of them I would of maybe auction like Lucchesi. For sure if we had known that we could purchase 1$ players without competition at the end of the draft, some us couls of kept somme $$ to do so. The real transparency woulf of been to tell us all that Bohica would be in and out because of birthday party......
-
I don’t understand the complaint. Are we mad the BOHICA was able to add a bunch of scraps at the end of the draft? That’s a legitimate draft strategy and I don’t have a problem with it.
-
Im voting to leave his roster as is.. no need to cut
-
And again, as Spitball says, these guys are not exactly cream of the crop guys. They are the $1 waiver guys and roster fills. Additionally, everyone had the opportunity to add them for $1 yesterday, and none of us nominated them. This does not seem to be a strategy to gain an advantage, but if a majority feel so, we'll adjust.
-
BOHICA let me know that he was unlikely to be able to be present during the auction, at least consistently, the day that we announced the date/time. He indicated he would try to make as much as he could but would likely be limited to coming in late. Given that auctions are dynamic and can last 3 hours or 6, it would be hard to plan to scoop up $1 guys IMO.
-
I don’t know if I appreciate it being insinuated i did something dirty. I mean the last 10 or so guys I added are straight bottom of the barrel roster fillers I will likely cut at some point. As long as I’ll get my money back I’ll go through the auction process if need be but would be shocked if I don’t end up with the same roster essentially

so its not dirty at all... he even asked the commissioner .. knowing he wasnt gonna get the trouts and the baez and the all stars.. he was willing to take that risk..
-
He finished 2 in the league last year. made minor changes,
which finishing 2nd you dont need to cut many players.. i took over the team and had to cut alot to be under the cap.. so i had to get rid of a lot of people i wouldnt have normally..no disrespect to You Bohica or your team but the guys he picked at the very end... wont be a huge factor. nor help his team all that much... he already has a championship team
he managed his team well and put himself in a good spot
-
even if he was in the draft the whole time
. he could of just waited until the end and done the exact same thing.. and still got all the same players.. i say draft better or cut more people in the offseason. so you have that same option to snag 1 dollar players at the end..
So again i dont mind what he did...
-
I missed the draft and and a friend fill in for me. but if you really wanted a player on boicha roster, you should of put them up for auction when you had a chance.. i cant be at every draft because of life.. it happens.. personal stuff in my life matter way more than fantasy.. but most people voted for this time
i have no problems he picked up 1 dollar players... the top tier players would of been taken off the board regardless...
-
It feels a little extra dirty because you kept a ton of high priced guys, had little to no money to draft, yet your schedule opened up as soon as everyone was done and you never once had to compete on bids. Just feels a bit dirty. Had I known that option was available why would I have had to fight it out for my last few picks when I could have had the draft to myself at the end.
-
It's one thing to have money leftover and a few extra spots to take advantage. Kind of another to not have to throw out bids at all with your low money and having free reign at the end instead of normal in-season auctions.
-
I think $1 endgame bids are fine and can be a good strategy if you're low on funds.
-
This is fantasy baseball. I think we should give some grace for these life considerations. Especially in this instance, where it is difficult to see any advantage being gleaned. If the league sees otherwise, I will cut the players from BOHICA's roster.
-
In our specific instance, only one other team, Usual Suspects, even had a roster spot open for the bulk of BOHICA's picks. Therefore, our league determined that none of these players were worth rostering when given the chance to do so. It hardly seems there is/was any unfair advantage gained there. Additionally, many of us have life circumstances that interfere with 3+ hour auctions even as hard as we try to block off time. Barsi, I know auctions have been difficult for you living in Germany
-
As I was in the auction and read the complaint, let me state how I saw it, and the league can debate if it wishes. Having been in numerous Ottoneu auctions over the years, it is almost always a constant that there is one or two people left late who end up making bids with little to no competition, usually for $1 players. These are almost always players of little value as everyone has passed on them.
-
As this is a means of entertainment solely, I wanted to let yall know and if people really have a big problem with it, just let me know.

In the interest of transparency and fairness, I want to tell everyone someone that was brought up as a complaint. I was unable to make the draft fully due to a birthday party and was in and out as my bids should have been clear. I asked the commissioner if he would leave the draft room open at the tail end just so I could draft even though I would be getting the scrubs. He did so for me.

A number of teams did not respond to the poll, but with those who did, Saturday March 27 is the pick at 2 PM.
-
?
-
Do we have a poll result?
-
The top two dates from the poll were March 27 & 28. We will choose between those two and set a time. Please complete the form: https://forms.gle/BWbWBZvtVUPFv7BT6
-
Let's set a date first and then move to time. https://doodle.com/poll/kiqthpu3h8wcutst?utm_source=poll&utm_medium=link
-
FWIW, I'm Central time. Prefer weeknight evenings. I'm ready whenever.
-
We should look at setting a draft date. I'd prefer close to the start of the season.

My spreadsheet is done, I'm ready to draft. Funny off-season story, I have a subscription to an annual baseball (fantasy baseball) book. I forgot to update to my home address, so it's sitting in the mailroom of my office. I won't likely go in and claim it until they make me go in, so the baseball season will be well underway when I get it.

Love the team name, and even has a nod to the previous owner's name.

Hello, everyone. I've taken over Law Offices. Glad to be here and looking forward to the season. I have an opening in a $20 FG Pts league if anyone is interested. DM me.
-
Law Offices said he no longer will continue. I have abandoned the team. Reach out to anyone you know who might want to fill it. I believe Ottoneu is structured so that new owners get one round of cuts automatically, so the new owner will be able to get the roster legal.
-
I have emailed and messaged both expired teams' owners. I will give them a couple more days.
-
The way I have done it in the past as commish is have the new owner post to the league boards who they want cut and they get 1 free rounds of cuts. Thats it, only the one time. It allows the most transparency where everyone feels good with it.
-
I also agree that a new owner should be afforded the chance to make cuts and have the ability to form the team as they see fit. I am unsure what to do if the same owner remains. We have deadlines for a reason and making cuts after it puts every other team at a disadvantage.
-
I agree, if there's a new owner, they should get a one-time round of cuts.
-
It appears they didn't pay to extend the team, not sure if that is accurate or not, but I think if we in-fact have a new owner, they should have time to make cuts prior to the draft.
However if Law Offices didn't make any cuts, I think it would be fair if each league owner got 5 players they want to see available in the draft, and the 5 players on the roster that have the highest mention or vote get cut and made available for the draft
-
Law Offices is over 40 on its roster. How does the league propose going about cutting?
-
Reminder that keepers are due by 11:59 EST
-
Cut day is tomorrow. Send your offers and lets get something done.
