Here is the link to the draft poll http://whenisgood.net/Stats171 please respond as soon as possible. All times are EST. If you have any issues let me know
-
Welcome to the league. I will make sure you can make additional cuts
-
Tough start. Didn’t realize I only had one round of cuts. Either way, looking forward to being back in Ottoneu… and baseball being back.
-
Welcome new owners! When we fill Fosse, I will circulate a poll to get our draft date down. We have 3 weeks until the season begins.
-
Yes baseball. Will post up the league in the community board to get new owners. Anyone who has a team should make there cuts in the next week.

BASEBALL!!

While I and a number of other managers have made their cuts already, we will likely extend the cut deadline further as there is little visibility in terms of when the lockout will end/spring training will begin. Still looking for managers for 3 teams Mudville, Fosse and Mr. Baseball.
-
We have a new owner for Trust The Process, Jeff! Welcome Jeff, look forward to having you in the league.

Great having you in the league, Brad!

Hi guys - my membership is going to expire at the end of this month. I have absolutely loved being part of this league, but with current life circumstances I think this is a good time for me to step away. Thanks everyone for letting me part of this very competitive league (and for Matt for introducing me to it!). It made baseball very fun to watch / follow these past 5 years! Have a great upcoming season!

Looks like Ottoneu shifted the keeper deadline by 2 weeks.

I think that’s a good solution with free cuts until a certain date. Thanks for thinking of all of that!

I feel good about that. I'm hoping to make final roster decisions once I know where my FA's are playing!

I don't think you can change the deadline it is a sitewide thing. However, we could give everyone free cuts up until a certain date which would function the same way.

Move it to the end of February?
-
Hi All, Does anyone have thoughts about moving the keeper deadline since we have no idea when the lockout will be over?

If you all know of anyone who would want to join, let me know. I would love to add a few quality managers.

Hey there league, I've also decided its time for me to take a break from ottoneu. I've absolutely loved playing this game for the past ten years, the league has been fantastic, I've just noticed it is time for me to move on. So much gratitude for all of you. -Dave

Maybe an unexpected announcement, but I will not renew come January when my Ottoneu subscription will lapse. I have had some conversation with PTBNL as we are co-commissioners, and we would kindly like to ask someone else from the group to join PTBNL as the new co-commissioner, so as to share the responsibilities. I'll be here until the end of January or until a replacement owner can be found. Thanks a lot for 5 years of good-spirited competitive play. This has been an outstanding league!

Hey guys, been a real blast learning Ottoneu and playing with you all the last two seasons. Tried to give PTBNL a good run for his money this year but couldn't quite move on. I got really into playing DFS baseball this year and plan on focusing more on that next year, so I think I'm going to be moving on, wanted to thank everybody for showing me the ropes the last couple years.

Congrats to PTBNL! Great year on many levels... only downhill from here!

The fight for 4th place and 9th place were exciting until the end. I guess, you had 1st place locked up for a while now. So that counts as a decisive win. Congrats, PTBNL!

Thanks. Good to finally get my first Otto title! The bet on Vlad paid off. Looking forward to the offseason.

Congrats PTBNL! You crushed us all this year. Another good season in the books.

Yeah congrats PTBNL - a truly dominant year by you and your squad! Nice job!

Yes great season all, congratulations PTBNL-- you had a really great team!

Congrats to PTBNL! Great season all. Happy playoffs/fantasy off-season!!

Thanks! There is a team with $400 in loans ahead of me. Wild.

Just now noticed that PTBNL is in spot 23 on the Global leaderboards! Nice. Well done 😁

Yeah, trades with big loans were at risk to veto basically if folks thought it was out of wack. I believe it was me trading Byron Buxton (as a minor leaguer) for Evan Longoria. People thought it was an unfair trade with the loan. It's amusing, because Evan fell off a cliff and Byron didn't amount to much.

Trade Block updated! :)

For the record, I was the only one in the top 4 without a loan before Trust sent his offers over.
-
Yeah I think this loan rule, the 3 days of being over cap rule, and allowing players to be dropped if they have TJ or season ending injury (between end of roster cuts and the draft) would be good ones to vote on.
Maybe we could vote on these (or others people bring up) that are specific to our league and then we could just drop them into the message board so that everyone can see the rules at the start of the year? Maybe decide as a league how often to revisit? This is a great le

Yeah, sorry. I thought it was agreed upon but it might have been longer ago than I thought. These recent trades seem pretty balanced and I didn't mean to criticize any specific team. Someone can hold $500+ worth of players during the off season to make decisions regarding injuries/new info before the January cut date, compared to $400. But we can revisit in the off-season if anyone feels it's important. Thanks all!
-
I would be fine with a cap on loans as well. I wasn’t aware of a definitive rule but knew it was rarely attempted in this league. I am fine with whatever the broader group thinks.
-
I also recall there being some limits to cash in a trade but it was many seasons ago. It definitely is challenging to keep track

Yeah, looking at the rules there's nothing in there. As a new member I read all the rules, if it's not in there I don't know how it could be enforced at this point really.
-
This came up very early in the league, year 1 or 2. As years went by and teams changed hands we've had trades with higher loans but it is relatively rare due to this history. So much times gone by now and so many teams have changed hands that it might be interesting to revisit but I think it is best left to off-season. This is of course only my recollection of events others are free to add their understanding to fill in the picture for those who weren't here
-
It was never a rule and was always contraversial. Some members felt strongly that there should be a per transaction cap on loans, others including me and John (fmr commish) disagreed. I would describe what resulted from this as a kind of stalemate wherein nothing prohibited large loans, but trades with them risked a veto (plus some members wouldn't do them on principle) and were thus rarely attempted.
-
This is my 5th year playing... so maybe this was a rule before I started as well?

Yeah I also didn't know about this $25 rule.. I feel like I basically went from a buyer to seller this year (for same player Harper). I was also a buyer last year and have traded some great prospects (like Wander) because I was in "win now" mode. Now that I am on the seller side I don't think it would be fair to change the rules after the fact. I'm okay doing a rule like that in the future (if rest of the league agrees), but I think it should be clearly established before season st

Sorry if that was a rule. 2020 was my first year in the league, I didn't see that rule posted anywhere and it never came up, so if it's a thing I had no clue.
