I’ll let you think he’s a White Sox fan. Offer him up all those awesome ChiSox players!
-
Which Sox's?
-
A little delayed here - welcome to the league Free Trevor Bauer. Free Trevor is a friend of mine who I asked to join and am really glad he agreed. He knows his stuff and is a Sox fan, so he’s well equipped to handle the losing involved with a rebuild. ;) Now that the league is full and winter meetings are here I’m starting to get psyched about the 2025 season. Let’s go!
-
Welcome to the league Free Trevor.

It's trading season!! Everyone please update your trading blocks to reflect your off-season goals. Also, we are still down an owner. Please ask your friends, it might be harder than usual to replace this one because Big Papi flooded the available team market with over 200 teams that he cut! He had over 250 teams and apparently decided that was a bit too many. Go figure...
-
AKA Big Papi will be leaving the league. If anyone has someone you want to join the league just let me know. I’ll hold off releasing the team into the wild for a few days
-
Great season everyone. Congrats Holly Jolly Elves on your utter domination this year. Arbitration begins on October 15th so get ready to jack up everyone's contracts! Also, if you are planning on leaving the league please let me know ASAP so I can replace you before trading season begins.
-
Nice job Holly.
-
Jolly congratulations to the Holly Jolly Elves. And a good try by the Cat Hoarders, who scored 98.5 points and were still 6.5 points behind.
-
Awesome season HJE! Very fun pennant chase.
-
Just an FYI for the league. This is in the community section and comes from Niv. Because the Mets/Braves will have a doubleheader on Monday, the season will be extended for those games and the stats will count. This will also extend the official end of season to Monday at 11:59pm EST. This means you can still start an auction on Saturday before 11:59pm EST and it will process. Any auctions started after that will not have enough time for the 48hr waiver wire period. Thanks.
-
Final night for trades.
-
Only a few days left to make trades before the deadline.
-
I got drilled out of the OPL tournament in the first round. I guess I needed more random pitchers (it's bestball essentially) and less minor leaguers. Oh well.
-
Happy 2024 Opening Day!
-
30 minutes until the draft!!!
-
REMINDER: Draft is tonight (2/25) at 8:00 PM EST. Try to have your players of interest in your queue so that you are ready to nominate on your turn. For planning sake these drafts take around 2 hours. Good luck and see you tonight!
-
It's Draft DAY!!!
-
Just a friendly reminder to the other owners that the draft system will only let you draft a roster up to 40 players. The draft system doesn't recognize if a player is on the 60IL and doesn't open a roster spot in the draft. If you have player(s) that have already been placed on the 60IL you will NOT be able to draft the fill ins at the auction. You will have to wait until the draft is done and the waiver wire opens up.
-
Yep, Eastern Standard Time.
-
Sure, I can do 8:00 pm, we are talking eastern standard time, correct?

Would anyone have a problem with pushing the draft to 8pm? We have a manager with a last-second scheduling conflict. If I don't hear any objections I'll change the time tomorrow.
-
Right now only date I have set is March 17th. Good any time on weekends, after 7:30pm EST on weekdays (I'm on CST and need time to get home from work).
-
Sorry, I meant to say Monday would have to be later, after 8:30 PM EST.
-
Sunday nights are generally open for me. If we do Monday night it would have to be earlier. I have to catch for my daughter at pitching lessons till 8 EST and wouldn't be ready till 8:30 EST. Sorry but it is so hard find slots with a good pitching coach.
-
The only Sunday night that might be an issue for me is the 18th. So far all of the Monday evenings are open for me.
-
I am ready now or whenever you tell me to
-
I like the idea of a Sunday night draft. In February Monday the 12th and 26th may be difficult. Kaos

Now that Cut Day has passed let’s plan the draft. I like to draft early – having the league in suspended animation is annoying. I find Sunday and Monday nights work for most people for drafts, and I was thinking of starting at 7 pm EST. Please post here or message me direct if there are any Sundays or Mondays in February that do not work for you – and also if 7pm is too early.
-
I'll be holding off make cuts until around 11pm est. Until then I am still open to trade offers. Thanks.
-
Keeper deadline is on Wednesday at 11:59 pm - time to make your final cuts. After that we will plan the draft. The sooner the better as far as I am concerned. Get your last minute trades in and happy cut day!
-
Final weekend before the deadline - time to make those last minute trade offers and deals.
-
Thank you to all the managers who have paid their leagues fees - only a couple more to go. Please pay ASAP so that we can know who is truly back for another year or if we need to look for someone new. Thank you.
-
It’s time to pay your league fees. Please go to the Ottoneu Dashboard and pay your fees as soon as is convenient.
-
Happy Holidays to all my fellow owners.
-
There are two weeks left in arbitration and three owners left who have not made their selections. Let's finish this up. Once we pass November 15th transactions open back up.
-
Arb done! Always interesting to see what gets allocated.
-
Arbitration has begun! Be sure to take a few minutes and distribute your $25 to the other teams before the November 14th deadline.
-
Thanks for the season, I'm in again and looking forward arbitration and slinging some deals
-
I have added two players back to the Noted Lunatics team that were cut after the prior owner told me he was leaving the league, with only a couple days left in the season. It seemed strange to me and unfair to the next owner.
-
We have a new owner for Noted Lunatics. Welcome to the league Vinnie. Vinnie is a long-time fantasy leaguer from several leagues that I am in. He knows his stuff and will be a great addition to the league, even though he is a Yankee fan ;) Both he and Josh are strong adds - now catch me if you can!
-
Welcome Josh to the league as the new owner of Hot Corner! Perfect time to join the league, it'll give you time to assess your team and get in on the arbitration fun. Trading opens up after arbitration is over and then it's on to the keeper deadline of January 31st. Welcome and good luck!
-
Hate to see you go Hot Corner! We've been playing in this league and We Play for Keeps for many years at this point. You were always competitive and tough to trade with (in a good way). Good luck with everything.
-
Congrats to the winners on a great season. Due to a new business venture, I was not able to stay as active as I would have liked. I do not expected much to change going forward, so I am taking a step back from fantasy baseball. It has been fun, but please abandon my team at your convenience.
-
League Stuff: The league goes into a freeze for a bit - keep an eye out for arbitration beginning in October. Also, Noted Lunatics will be leaving the league, so if anyone knows someone who you think would be a good league manager just let me know. I'd rather get someone we know already. It's a decent team so it's not a hard sell to take it over. Also, if anyone else it planning to leave please let me know ASAP so that I can get to work on finding an additional replacement.
-
Thanks everyone, it was a fun season - guess the name change did the trick (Police vs. Floyd - duh). Though Acuna may have a bit to do with it as well ;)
-
Nice job Dan! Congratulations.

Ghost in the Machine: Not only did you pull away from me in August and September, you did after naming your team after a Police album. Sigh. Well done.
-

-
