WTF- No one is abusing the rules and there is nothing wrong with the Ottoneu system. Stop making a mountain out of a molehill.

Something is definitely up with the system as I don't recall being able to cut players after the season but prior to Arb in the past. No one is in red now with Yadi getting cut. Maybe it is all just timing but what's to stop someone from going over roster limit by 20+ players at end of season with a bunch of last minute auctions. Just seems like something that could be abused.
-
Also… are any teams in red now? I think that may have been a timing error. As the way I read the rules, there are no roster restrictions at this time of the offseason.

I guess I don’t see why it’s important to drop players now? It’s not like any team could pick them up? Perhaps you have more players to trade with during the off-season, but also, I doubt anyone is dropping a player that has trade value. I see your argument, but in the end, it just doesn’t seem like that big of deal. FWIW the rules state your team doesn’t have to be “legal” until after the cut deadline, which is after arbitration. Furthermore, the rules actually state no cuts prior toarbitration

Exactly. If you are highlighted in red you have an illegal roster and should fix it. As it states in I(c) it's up to commish to mete out any punishment for illegal rosters.
-
I don't see any reason to change the standard Ottoneu rules in this league.

Calendar says start of Arb is 10/15 so how does that match up with off season 60-man slots. I don't know the answer to that. I don't remember being locked out in red after the season before and being able to cut this late after the season either but could be misremembering that after Covid winter last year.
-
No, I just don't think teams should be shaded in red. I don't focus too much on how the calendar and roster things work on here or how people get out of the red and when but I think teams shouldn't be showing as red for more than a day or two. There are no illegal rosters in the offseason so there is a lag between end of season and roster deadlines pre-arb.
-
At present (after I cut Yadi Molina) every roster is currently showing as legal however, due to 60 day DL placements and trades that involving loans, there are 7 teams that are carrying more than 40 players and two teams that have total player salaries over $400. Heading into arbitration (ie after standard inflation), it looks like 8 total teams will be carrying salaries over $400. Are you suggesting/proposing that heading into arbitration teams have to be below $400 and 40 roster spots?

WTF- What is your definition of a 'legal' roster?

Can we please have legal rosters from folks prior to Arb. Seems appropriate to have everyone on a level playing field going into the offseason.
-
Congrats Ben and Daddy on a great season. I will be back next year to try and close the gap.

Nice season B & D. Way to run away with it.
-
Congrats to Ben and Daddy! We’ll done
-
Taking offers on Acuna if anyone is interested.
-
I’m looking to add healthy players (and save some money) to my roster for the OPL league. Willing to move any of my injured players but need to make a deal today so they are on my roster for June.
-
I'm looking for a catcher if anyone is looking to deal one

I don’t exactly have the roster to compete yet, so I’ll enjoy the day 1 success
-
Anyone need another team? See the link below, we've got a few available in another league of mine. Note, we're a $20 league by rule, but we've traditionally played a side pot on league-safe for an additional prize/low admin fees. Since there's been turnaround, once the league is full we'll be voting on whether to have the side-pot this year or begin it next year...looks like having some side pot of $20 or so will carry the day as of now.

Midre was a talented but crazy dude back in the day.

Hi all - sorry I missed the auction last night. Today is my wedding anniversary and my spouse found a concert stream of a band we follow, so decided to celebrate last night instead of today. Priorities. 🙂 We’ll be active this season, though, with a target to compete next year.
-
Not sure why the draft interface didn’t close last night but it is closed now and you can put players up for auction
-
Thank you to everyone who responded to me about draft dates. Our draft is now scheduled for March 6th at 8 PM.

DRAFT DATE SCHEDULING- Please message me a list of days that you CAN'T draft in February and March. We will complete our draft sometime between February 6th and the start of the regular season, during the evening, at or after 7:30 PM Eastern. Once I get a list of dates that everyone can't draft I will pick a date and schedule our draft.

Hey all! I just picked up Savage Beasts. I'm not stranger to ottoneu and look forward to participating in this league!
-
I just picked up the abandoned team and this is a step up in fees for me and I guess a step up in competition. I just updated my trade block and if you are interested in someone let me know. Looking forward to this league.

Hey there all, seems like a mighty cordial and competitive league you all have here! I’m happy to be a part of it. Hope all of you are safe and well and if you’re looking for a distraction, I’m a bit of a trade-aholic so feel free to send me a deal. Any deal will do. I’m never offended. Happy early holidays!

Hey wanted to let folks know that I started a new 4x4 league here: https://ottoneu.fangraphs.com/processinvite?code=eyJMZWFndWVJRCI6IjEyMTQiLCJJbnZpdGVyIjoibWhhdXNtYW4iLCJJbnZpdGVySUQiOiI0NjY4OCJ9
Niv indicated that once it's filled up and all teams played that the auction draft can occur anytime. Would be nice to have a draft in December or earlier if filled.
-
Many thanks and agree with both, goodbye 2020 already

I echo that - congrats to Alternative, and good riddance to 2020
-
Congratulations Alternate Training Facility!!! Not only did you win this league, you spent the majority of the year as the TOP TEAM in all Fangraphs Points League finishing the year 7th out of all eligible teams. Great year!
Hope everyone stays safe this offseason and we have an opportunity at a full season next year.
Goodbye 2020. Good riddance.

Looking to finish my sell off. I still have Zach Grienke, Gary Sanchez, Corey Dickerson, Brandon Belt, Joc Pederson and a slew of RP's that I'm looking to move.

And now Plesac is in the minor league camp, for who knows how long. What a dunderhead
-
Wow- 11 teams bid on Zach Plesac. I've never seen that before!
-
Don't think I got enough pitching left either my guys are dropping like flies. Could move some of my Killer B's for next year. Bogaerts/Betts/Bellinger/Benintendi

I'm looking to move Machado, Gary Sanchez, Kershaw, Paxton and Grienke. And Craig Kimbrel if someone wants a relief pitcher who can't get anyone out.
-
Yeah that was weird. But Braun is where he belongs!
-
Glad Rafi got Braun again, would have been weird if he went to someone else.
-
Weird that Braun was picked up yesterday and is still up for auction.
-
With Verlander and Mikolas joining Kershaw, Severino and Stroman on the DL, I don't have enough healthy arms left to compete this year so I am looking to sell. Everyone is available for the right price.
-
nvm i figured it out, i dont need any of those guys
