These processes are put into place so that all the owners have the opportunity to develope a competitive team by their own selection, choices and decisions through the draft and by balancing the salary cap, otherwise an owner may be able to develope a team that could become a perennial powerhouse (championship team) year in and year out in a dynasty format without these measures in place.

Walkoff, thank you for expressing your views to the league and I also want to add that I have the utmost respect for your opinion. I would like to add that I believe OTTONUE is set up as a dynasty league but with a limited opportunity to keep a team as a whole forever, hence the salary increases and / or allocation / arbitration processes.

I absolutely despise allocation, which contradicts the whole point of dynasty leagues. Ex: Kyle Schwarber, who I signed for $11 just before last season. Between the automatic $2 increases and the large allocation the league piled on last year, I now have a $21 player who's played 71 career games--and that's before whatever happens this time. That's not competitive balance, that's stupid. I like Ottoneu in just about every other way, fortunately, but won't participate in this.
-
I sent a message to the commish regarding allocation and why I don't and won't participate. It's just my opinion of course, but he suggested I share it with the league. It is in the next post (because of the character limit).

FWIW I'm commissionering a league this year that had a number of openings and they filled really quickly from the public claim list once they were officially abandoned and/or expired.

Bunt, see my message to you.

Ok, so we are down to four teams that haven't yet completed their allocations. Shamrock, Nuke, Babe and Walkoff; could you please take the time to complete your allocations? I can't stress enough the importance of this so that we maintain the competitive balance and the integrity of the league as a whole. Thank you for your cooperation!

We're nine days away from the end of arbitration. Six of 12 teams have yet to allocate any money. If you're confused about this process, ask questions. It's unacceptable to not participate in this process! Help keep the competitive balance: allocate today!!!
-
Allocations will end soon, November 14 th, I believe, and we need EVERYONE to participate. It helps with competitive balance and demonstrates ongoing league activity. Happy offseason!

Not until the end of the allocation period on Nov. 14.

Good Luck Saratoga!

I am trying to get into more prize leagues and do not wish to move forward with this team. I did find an owner through Slack. Does anyone know how to transfer the team to him? Thanks.

Great season everyone. Looking forward to defending the crown next year.

Congrats TLM!

Congrats to TLM for a great season. The allocation system will begin in the next month or so, everyone's participation is greatly encouraged to balance out the competitiveness of the league. Will keep you all updated as specific events of the offseason approach.

Jake Lamb is a 25-year-old infielder who has broken out for 676 points in 433 ABs. Anyone want to trade me a good, cheap Outfielder for him?

I was asleep at the wheel on Gurriel. Wow $32 bid! That is crazy.
-
I gave up the best young hitting catcher in baseball and a top-12 SP, so it's not like I got THAT much better. As for Gurriel, yeah, I'm surprised I got him at $2. In the other leagues I'm in we saw $21 and $32 bids.

OK everyone, looks like I'm needing to add as well. Will move Benintendi for a win-now upgrade. Please send offers or message me.

Dang it Bryce, I go out of town for two days and you pick up Gurriel for $2 and Corey Seager and other great players in a trade?
-
Anyone out of contention want to trade me something for top prospects Dansby Swanson and Brett Phillips? Don't have a particular need, just anything that can help me close the gap on Big Time Timmy Jim's mustache.

Still looking for that SP. Have plenty of bats and prospects. Also, could use some cap relief.
