When i put players on my watchlist that carries over to the auction correct?
-
You have ~$200 for 15 open spots... I think you'll be fine. Just don't bid on Julio - commissioner's order.
-
Well sheesh, now I'm questioning if I was ruthless enough with my cuts! One other thing to keep in mind is that the off-season player averages are not consistent with post-draft averages. There is some natural FOMO inflation built in to the draft, so marquee names will go for a bit higher than what they are "worth" based on their surplus value. Sometimes it's worth it to pay for studs and fill out the roster w/ high ceiling scrubs though!

Yeah there were definitely a couple i was on the fence with cutting but didn't. Good learning experience for sure and I feel good with my team
-
Not saying that to call him out just amplifying what commish said. You definitely want to focus on surplus value and having as much cap space as you can for the draft. The high end players who were cut will go for more than you would ever expect in the draft.

Honestly Wright Way cut down to 8 players and I still think he kept one too many.

It's all about resource management. Is it really worth keeping four catchers or Wong/Espinal at any price? Because this is a vote-off arbitration league, you know there will be at least 12 superstars available every draft and you'll want money to try to get one or two of them. If it were me running your team, I'd cut well over half the roster.
-
Hey thanks everyone for the warm welcome it is much appreciated! Excited to be here.
Commish, thanks for the advice. I am new to all of this. Thanks too for the round of cuts.
Open to any advice. Haven't played fantasy of any type in a good while so I'm not sure where to start. I'll go look up some resources for advice as well.
Quick question: it seems the best way to go is to hold on to a core of players I like, just cut the rest and then head into the d

Depends on your team and what you're trying to accomplish in a given year. There are years I have spent all $400 at the draft and some years I'm clearly rebuilding where I have more money left over. There's really no right answer.
-
How much should you recommend we save for in season signings? I think I've seen a few FanGraphs articles mention 10-15
-
Haha i did consider cutting the entire squad and going fresh but cant cut Mike Trout at a decent price!
-
Also, new MM, because you're new, I'm gonna give you another round of penalty-free cuts. Just some friendly advice - you're going to want to cut more guys to free up some cap space/eliminate dead weight. If you don't want to, no big deal, just making it an option. (I'd do the same for the other new guy, Wright Way, but he has like six guys on his roster lol)
-
Welcome new MM owner! Any questions/concerns/whatever feel free to ask. Also feel free to change your team name in the settings. Now that we're all here, it's time to figure out a draft day. Usually a Friday night (8-9pm EST) shortly before the MLB season ends is how we do it. Opening Day is Thursday March 30 so maybe we can draft 3/24?
-
Welcome bro. Last year was my 1st otto season and absolutely loved it....im.sure you going to enjoy!

Hey everyone, glad to be here. I am new to ottoneu, looking forward to having some fun. Have been playing a bunch of OOTP the last couple of years.

It only counts players in the active lineup.

For the 1500 inning limit rule, is this being evaluated based on appearances made while in starting lineup or does it also include when the player is on the bench?
-
Interesting well i look forward to see how our draft goes then
-
These mock draft #s are interesting and may be more representative of what you can expect to pay for players in a start up specifically. For instance the median for Brandon Nimmo on his player page is $14.47 while his avg. # in the mocks is $22.80. I just took part in a $100 startup and he went for $24....assuming I'm looking at these #s right, auction prices seem to differ in a start up vs. an existing league.

Thank you!

Also, if you click on a player's name, it'll show their average/median salary for all leagues and FG pts (which is us). If you scroll to the bottom, it'll show you trades that player was involved in with other leagues, where you can see what that player is worth to that league. It's clunky and not exactly a database, but it'll give you some price help.

There were some fgpts scoring format mock auctions completed over the last month or so. Here's a link: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1qGDf5HwJkt04Xv7Rq7FACu7YYMtT441WTnOOYXMYyvE/edit#gid=0

Is there a database for historical Ottoneu average auction values? Kind of want to get a feel for what types of players get what amount of money
-
Welcome David/Wright Way. Feel free to reach out with Q's. It's a really fun fantasy baseball format but it takes time to understand all the little quirks.

(also good to have you back, SL. Wasn't sure if you would return)

Hello, new owner of Hakuna! Feel free to change your team name and remember that you have a round of penalty-free cuts.

My trade block is up to date. Feel free to send offers or contact me to start negotiating.

Keeper deadline is TUESDAY! Make those cuts and send those trade offers.

Only a couple of weeks til keeper deadline. If you are planning on making moves now's the time.

Traditionally we hold the draft on a Friday night around 8-9pm EST as close to the start of the season as possible. That's subject to change as I'll ask for people's availability as we approach Opening Day.
-
Most drafts occur in March so plenty of time to schedule it. Most important date is keeper deadline of Jan 31 and then your roster is frozen until auction day. So this us the time to make your off season trades

And yes, available is correct in that you can't trade or cut RFAs until the draft.
-
To all: If you are not in for 2023, please let me know now so I can start looking for a replacement. I pushed through the abandonment of "I Declare" and can do so for any other team upon request.
-
This is my first year playing in a vote-off league so I'm not an expert by any means but I'm happy to share what I have noticed. As far as I can tell they are in some sort of limbo until the draft. They don't show up as free-agents, they are shown on your roster (but in red font) and they are in your roster organizer but you can enter a predicted salary.
-
Thank you. First year of otto and thought I'd have gotten an alert or something for the vote off. When does it happen exactly?

Hey MM, whenever you want to pass off commish duties back to me is cool so I can start finding replacements
-
It has occurred, click on 'Arb Results' to see the results (you lost Manoah). You can cut players.

Also can I cut players at any time?

You can pry Julio from my cold dead hands. (Yordan was voted off my team previously and I'm getting him back too)

I'd love to be commish again. I've even paid for 2023 already so I won't get booted like last year lol
-
Hey all. I was in nine leagues last season. It was far too many and I have to cut back half of them. I am going to drop this league. Happy to hand over the commissioner tools to someone else. Vote-off time is here. Make sure you cast votes for who you want to make a free agent. Remember that there is no take backs. Once you vote, the vote is permanent.
