• Hi everybody. My name is Jim and I took Ghastly. I'll make my roster cuts and be ready for the draft on Monday. I'm glad to be in the league.

  Ghost Runners in the Sky on March 29, 2022 9:31 PM

• The later in the evening the better for me. I should be able to make the 4th work. Since this is not a first year league draft it should only be a couple hours right? I’ve done two so far in older leagues and they lasted 2 to 2 1/2 hours. And welcome Conner, glad to have you on board!

  Out of the Bullpen on March 27, 2022 10:47 PM

• Welcome Conner. I’d be fine having the draft over multiple days or on a weeknight. I’ll do my best to make the fourth if we keep that day.

  Caseyatbats on March 27, 2022 9:37 PM

• 1. Welcome to Conner. It's great to have to you have. 2. I'd be quite happy to do the draft over multiple nights at 9pm. That's an ideal time for my schedule. And though I'm on the East Coast, I'm very happy to go past 10pm if that works for others.

  Northern Lights on March 27, 2022 7:13 AM

• Morning Everyone, My name's Conner saw this league had a few vacant teams on the board and that they were posted to be claimed. Just wanted to say hello and see if there were any objections before I make cuts or any moves.

  Team LLC on March 27, 2022 6:49 AM

• I thought it would be possible to draft for an hour in the evening over the course of the start of the week. Let me know what you think. Some schedules may not permit that. The commissioner use to be on the west coast. I don't know where everyone is now, but I think it leans Eastern and Central.

  Random Walks on March 27, 2022 2:55 AM

• Another option is to extend the draft over multiple dates. For example, Mon-Wednesday from 9-10 EST. Or, Saturday AND Sunday--instead of one date or the other.

  Random Walks on March 26, 2022 11:42 PM

• I’m sorry but my other league already has an auction scheduled for Sunday evening, April 3rd. Could we possibly make it a different day?

  Out of the Bullpen on March 24, 2022 10:07 PM

• Draft date and time is subject to change. We are looking to fill the league as soon as possible. Thanks for your patience.

  Random Walks on March 24, 2022 9:09 PM

• 3rd works for me

  Chris Sabometrics on March 22, 2022 10:01 PM

• Because at least one available team requires significant rebuild, does anyone object if I offered my roster for a draft? What I have in mind is the bottom three teams given an opportunity to pick two players from my current roster, and teams #6-9 one player. There was an 800 point gap between teams 6 and 7, and close to 3000 points between teams 9 and 10. I thought this measure might appeal to a new manager and make the league more competitive. Any objections? I like to rebuild anyways.

  Random Walks on March 22, 2022 11:23 AM

• Because teams are available, let's shoot for April 3rd. Does that prevent anyone from participating?

  Random Walks on March 22, 2022 10:49 AM

• I couldn't make it this weekend unless it is later on the day on the 27th.

  Chris Sabometrics on March 21, 2022 12:00 AM

• I hope we’re doing it. Is draft a possibility for next weekend?

  Caseyatbats on March 20, 2022 12:51 PM

• Is the league happening this year?

  Chris Sabometrics on March 20, 2022 11:23 AM

• I'm not around the 2nd but could do the 3rd. If we are trying to do it earlier then I'm also not available the weekend of the 26th. Earlier is also problematic if we still have 4 available teams

  Chris Sabometrics on March 13, 2022 10:24 AM

• I’d be in favor of doing the draft earlier if possible. The 19th or 26th would be my preference. Could also do those Sunday evenings.

  Caseyatbats on March 12, 2022 10:30 PM

• As far as I can tell right now that should work for me

  Out of the Bullpen on March 12, 2022 8:54 PM

• In previous years, the draft was Saturday before start of season and would be April 2nd this year. How does that sound?

  Random Walks on March 12, 2022 3:50 PM

• I’m excited for a draft. Is there a date/time in mind?

  Caseyatbats on March 12, 2022 11:16 AM

• Sounds like the lockout is over, hopefully that will get things moving in the Ottoneu realm as well.

  Out of the Bullpen on March 10, 2022 3:55 PM

• Four teams available. I will post to the Managers Wanted thread shortly. If you know anyone who could pickup a team, let's fill up the empty spots. The lockout can't last all season, right?

  Random Walks on February 18, 2022 8:47 AM

• Open to discussing any deals up to the deadline. Willing to move from SP depth and looking for 2B, 1B and OF depth. Feel free to reach out with any ideas.

  Out of the Bullpen on February 11, 2022 1:10 AM

• Sounds good, thanks commish! For any lurkers checking out the league page thinking about claiming a team I'm ready to deal and love talking trades.

  Out of the Bullpen on February 2, 2022 1:43 PM

• Wet Bandits, Deel's Deadlast, and Daniel's Best are now abandoned. The other two teams should be current with renewal fees soon.

  Random Walks on February 2, 2022 12:11 PM

• I noticed that as well, per this link they should be on the abandoned teams page 10 days from 1/31: https://community.ottoneu.com/t/when-do-expired-teams-become-available-to-the-public/6903

  Out of the Bullpen on February 2, 2022 11:59 AM

• Looks like a lot of teams didn't renew. Are we going to replace them?

  Chris Sabometrics on February 1, 2022 7:47 PM

• Thanks for joining! Yeah, half of the league missed arbitration, and the commissioner for the past 10 years stepped away. But getting managers in to pick up the slack helps a ton. Thank you!

  Random Walks on January 7, 2022 8:47 PM

• Hey everyone, just claimed this team. Have played Ottoneu on and off over the years but been more active this past year. League looks like a decent amount of arb has been missed and not a lot of trades or activity so hopefully will be able to change that soon! Open to talking any trades so feel free to send messages or offers my way and I may do the same this weekend.

  Out of the Bullpen on January 7, 2022 7:03 PM

• Anyone looking to trade? I have tons of SP and I'm looking for 2B or SS.

  Chris Sabometrics on January 5, 2022 8:30 PM

• Thanks to Kierkegaard and everyone else for the welcome. I'm happy to be here. I play many different types of fantasy, but I've never played Ottoneu before. I'm looking forward to the challenge.

  Northern Lights on December 17, 2021 12:17 PM

• welcome to the new guy, and glad you others are returning after all.

  Kierkegaard's Leap on December 15, 2021 8:25 PM

• No problem. Glad to hear you're returning.

  Random Walks on December 9, 2021 9:30 PM

• I'm planning to manage next year. This was my first year playing Ottoneu, was unaware of the allocation process. My bad.

  Ghost Runners in the Sky on December 8, 2021 12:09 PM

• Planning to manage next year

  Dream Squashers on December 1, 2021 10:28 AM

• I'm in for next year

  MillerTime on December 1, 2021 10:18 AM

• I sent an email to everyone to see whether managers are in for next year. I want to abandon teams where people are planning not to manage.

  Random Walks on December 1, 2021 12:13 AM

• Thanks for the informal vote. Niv switched commissioners. Let me know if anyone has a proposal to improve things.
  
  I will reach out to owners that did not allocate so we can move ahead and fill empty slots for the spring.

  Random Walks on November 28, 2021 9:07 PM

• I'd back rock skippers as commish too.

  Chris Sabometrics on November 26, 2021 7:01 AM

• I hope league owners stick around. I’d back Ross for commish. My neighbor would also be up for taking over a team.

  Caseyatbats on November 23, 2021 8:42 PM

• I would back Rock Skippers as the new commish ... kinda earned it!

  MillerTime on November 22, 2021 12:01 AM

• But I will wait a week or two for objections or possibly a vote for new commissioner.

  Random Walks on November 21, 2021 8:12 PM

• I do.

  Random Walks on November 20, 2021 7:41 PM

• Anyone want to step up to be commish? The admins can change the commish on the backend

  Chris Sabometrics on November 20, 2021 11:21 AM

• Hope everything is well with Deelron. Any proposals on selecting a new commissioner? I am not too worried about vacant teams, yet. But if anyone knows somebody looking to play, please invite him or her.

  Random Walks on November 17, 2021 10:33 AM

• Looking at the last activity date it seems like he might be. Need to find new owners for half the league I guess

  Chris Sabometrics on November 16, 2021 9:10 PM

• Six including the commissioner did not allocate--that's troubling for the league. Is Deel's done?

  Random Walks on November 15, 2021 10:12 AM

• One more day-Still seven teams left. I hope that number goes down tomorrow!

  Dream Squashers on November 13, 2021 6:00 PM

• Last year a couple teams waited for the end of the mlb season or maybe waited until the last day November 15hth deadline or whatever, and 10 of the 12 teams arbitrated. I hope the league reaches that mark this year, but it''s about half the league right now.

  Random Walks on November 3, 2021 12:26 AM

• Arbitration - I know it’s weird, but dolling out dollars to other team’s players is one of my favorite parts of the fantasy season. I can’t believe more owners haven’t taken part. Congrats to Ross for running away with his third Ottoneu title. I’m still shooting for a third-place finish.
