My wife and I are having a baby in a few weeks, so I'm going to defer to Hell and Back to plan the draft since I'm probably not going to be checking in much in a few weeks, and my vote would be as late in March as possible! But I'm guessing either way I may be in and out a bit at best no matter when we draft, so I'll defer to the majority and try to keep a roster that's mostly full-ish in case I completely forget.

One of two of us commissioners will send out a (doodle) calendar to gather available times for the 12 of us. The way I have done it in the past is to provide morning, afternoon, evening slots for several weeks. I want to be sensitive for those outside EST, especially whoever is in the Netherlands (!!). Given the uncertainty of the start of the season, we'll play it by ear, but I'll suggest enough time to cover the waterfront. Hope this helps.

How does this league decide on a draft date & time? Or at least, how is it going to be planned this year with the added uncertainty of the season start date?

Thanks, all, glad to be here. In general, I'm open to any trade discussions. Send over a message, or a blind trade offer to start things going...all are welcome :)

Make that 10! Welcome, Ismael. Glad to have a full slate of owners. Now get that trade block updated and let's get to work!

Welcome to the league, glad to have you Ismael! Awesome, we are back to a full 12 managers, and it looks like 9 have paid already (thanks!). Just a reminder that the renewal deadline is still January 31 even though the cutdown date was pushed back a couple weeks, so please get your dues paid sooner than later, thanks!

Hi, everyone. I just picked up La Phamilia. I’m looking forward to participating in this league; hopefully we get a full season.
My name’s Ismail and I’m on the Ottoneu Slack @Ismail
Thanks and good luck!

Kenley and Devon Williams could be acquired as well if I can save money and get 90% of their points.
Same goes for Gurriel.
-
Need to let the moves clear so I can look at my roster completely, but……
I’m gonna be around 38-42 player I’d like to keep with about $45-$75 I need to clear.
Either gonna move Ramirez/Morton together (not necessarily same deal) or Trout by himself.
Gonna be patient cause it’s a money saving move that ultimately id rather not have to make haha. Best offer wins.

No kidding, the floodgates really opened up the last week or so!

All, in case you hadn’t noticed, the keeper deadline has been pushed back to Feb 15 due to the lockout (as shown in the tools page). It sounds like this could possibly be pushed back further depending on how long it drags on. Note, my understanding is that this does NOT change the renewal deadline however, so please still plan to renew by Jan 31.

All, I heard back from La Phamilia and it sounds like he hasn't had the time to give his team enough attention so he's going to give up his team. Hopefully we can find another great replacement manager quickly, and then it looks like everyone else has been online in the last day or two so I think we should be good to go. Looks like half the league has paid for 2022 already, so thanks. For the rest, don't forget to do so by Jan 31 (ideally well before then!).

Anyone heard from La Phamilia recently? That's the one last team that I haven't seen activity from in a while, though hopefully he's just got better things to do than to manage a fantasy baseball team in December, and will be back checking in soon!

Think you have a pretty good shot at making a run in 2023, and given you could have a decent pool of cash to play with at auction, that could even be feisty roster this year if guys like Witt come up early and start hot!

Thanks for the intro commish. Love ottoneu baseball and definitely all-in year round so reach out anytime for trades or just to judge everybody else's deals, talk baseball, whatever. It's all fun. My team name says it all. $100 donation this year, but next year I may sneak up on you!

Hey everyone, just a friendly reminder that the deadline to renew your team for 2022 is January 31st (though if possible please renew sooner!). Hopefully everyone is planning to return, but if not please let me know ASAP so we can try to find a new manager ahead of that deadline to give them a chance to make a few moves if they want to. We do currently have one available team (Chaos Muppets) if anyone knows anyone who might be interested?

Realizing all my recent trades have pushed me pretty high above the 40 man roster. Not sure how this league handles the limits in the off-season.. I presume it’s OK until the cut deadline?

Hi everyone! My name is Jeff. I'll be taking over The Bohm Squad. I commission a long-time 4x4 league and got my first taste of Fangraphs Points in the OPL this year. I've been on the lookout for a second team for a while now and saw this as a good opportunity to secure a spot in an established league. It's a much better roster than some of the other abandoned teams I've been offered, so I'm looking forward to a competitive off-season and plenty of disscussion!

Last day to submit arbitration, if you haven’t already done so please do it ASAP. If I have time I’ll try to find neutral ottoneu owners on the ottoneu slack channel to volunteer to submit arb for those who haven’t in the next couple hours. I will likely abandon any teams that don’t submit prior to the deadline this offseason unless there’s a valid reason, as this is a critical component to maintaining a healthy league. Thanks all!

Hey gents, it’s been a lot of fun but I am bowing out of 435 this year. I’m trying to downsize just a bit Bc I haven’t been able to give the attention needed to be successful. This has been a great league and I don’t mind to stay on thru arbitration if you all want me to.

Hey everyone, quick reminder that the arbitration deadline is Nov 14th, so ten days left. Looks like just four teams have fully submitted so far (thanks to those who have!). If you haven't yet, please do so prior to the deadline. If you're intentionally waiting until the end, no worries, though if you could send me a quick note to confirm so I don't bug you next week it would be appreciated! Thanks all

Reminder: auctions have to end by 11:59pm on Sunday, which makes today the last day you can start auctions this season. With that in mind, also just reminding everyone that all teams will need to end the season with legal rosters (based on each team's individual salary cap and roster size constraints as of Sunday).

Thanks to both managers who volunteered to help out (Hell and Back and Redlegs) as co-commissioner! Given Hell and Back has been in the league for a few years now as a steady, active owner, it seemed fair to me to propose to the league that he replace Ocho as the second commish. Any thoughts/questions/concerns?
Curlin on
September 7, 2021 7:21 PM

I'm hoping to be back next year, and would be willing to be a co-commissioner if needed and the league wants (?), but I'm expecting the first half of next year to be very hectic for me so I would rather not be in charge of managing and coordinating scheduling of the draft for 2022 as I'm afraid I'll drop the ball on that. If Ocho doesn't want to either, is anyone else interested in helping out as co-commissioner (or even as a solo commish if they prefer)?
