You'd have to drop him if he couldn't reach a deal with his club. I'd rather have a later MiLB and give the teams at the bottom of the previous year's standings a shot at a game-changing player than have that player open to be picked up by any team through the FA pool.
-
Yeah. I think that would be fun. We could have it immediately after the MLB draft. Ottoneu doesn't input players until they've officially signed a contract, but we don't need Ottoneu's help since you handle it all (no idea how you do it, but know you're the most active commissioner of any league in which I've participated and I highly appreciate that). If you get stuck with a guy like Kumar Rocker—and he doesn't sign—that's too bad. 1/2

Or are you saying move the MiLB draft completely to after MLB draft in June/July instead of having it in February?
-
First - easiest way to track rosters is on Google Docs. That's a living/breathing document, so bookmark it and reference when you have questions
Second - I have created a rule in another league that MLB Drafted players (actual MLB Draft in June/July) are not allowed to be auctioned off, and can only be added by draft following year.
As of now, we'll keep it as-is, but I'd love to hear from any other owners with their thoughts/opinions.
-
That way, teams at the bottom (in the previous season) would have the first chance to snap up the No. 1 overall pick (or whomever). As it stands, studs who are MLB-drafted in the middle of the year can be put on our 40-man rosters, which negates some of the benefits for lower-standing teams. I love the MiLB system we have, but I think we should move it. 2/2
-
I totally get that. I just think, at least for me, there's a ton of confusion about who is and isn't rostered, etc. I know several owners and I have wondered about making certain trades but have completely forgotten who is on our MiLB roster. If we want to make things more exciting, we could have the MiLB draft after MLB's amateur draft. 1/2
-
Appreciate the idea, but the reason why the MiLB draft is BEFORE the MLB draft is to help those teams in the lower part of the standings, helps them rebuild. With the MiLB portion after it would leave very little and would not help the parity of the league. Also, once the MiLB draft is finished, all players will be added back to restricted list, helping understand who is still available for the MLB portion.
-
We also wouldn't have to keep tabs on some players who are bumped from MiLB to MLB, just because they'll already be on the 40-man roster. Just some thoughts to consider. 2/2
-
Just throwing this out there: I think it would be best for the league if we moved the MiLB draft to after the league auction. This could be a day later or a month later or whenever. I think it would make teams have to choose whether to pay at auction for a MiLB player, or take a risk and see if they can get that player in the draft. I think it would add more strategy (and, selfishly, it would make it a little easier to track which great MiLB players have been rostered. 1/2

Please look over MiLB Rosters one last time. If you don't contact me by 11:59 ET, I'm assuming you're keeping everyone. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/17ENmr1NdmRb5QNuao8IS5VCCBWo7S49crRt9fN1ndxY/edit?usp=sharing

Turkeys are promoting Riley Greene from MiLB to MLB
-
Open to trades before tomorrow's deadline. Let me know if you need a reliever, or have cap space for a stud.
-
Done.
MiLB roster is Austin Martin and Ronny Mauricio
-
Please drop Alexander Canaria and Geraldo Perdomo. Josias Gray is no longer on my roster, I traded him.
-
I'm looking to trade Goldschmidt, Kershaw and Zunino. I'm looking for a back-end SP or some decent reserve hitters. I'll consider all serious offers.
-
Goldschmidt is available.
-
I have under $10 good bullpen depth and am looking to trade for some similar outfield depth.

Nick Castellanos also is available.
-
Tatis Jr. also is available.
-
Looking to trade Bogaerts.
-
Anyone want Goldschmidt or Kershaw?
-
If you’ve got cap space, I’m shopping Bregman and Machado. Let me see those offers!
-
Now that I have 4/5 of the Marlins rotation, I may be willing to trade one of them not named Rogers.
-
Richfield was kind enough to trade with me during my recovery. Anyone else want to help this poor soul?
-
Anyone want Goldschmidt and/or Kershaw? Inquire within. I got my Covid booster yesterday, so I have nothing better to do than make ottoneu trades today.
-
Hey guys, I have a new vacancy in another league. Decent team, has Acuna, Judge, Scherzer. Not a contender yet but has some assets to work with.
https://ottoneu.fangraphs.com/977/team?team=6992.
Team is listed in Available Teams. League name is Last Minute League. Team is Canha Miller Time.
-
I’d love to make a trade for a No. 3 or No. 4 OF; for some good RPs; or for good bench players. Let me know if you have a possible trade. Happy Thanksgiving to all of you.
-
Scherzer and/or Bieber will be traded this off-season. Looking for low salary hitters. Please send offers over!
-
I've adjusted the salaries for those who have submitted their coupons. For those who have not, I'm setting a deadline for EOD Sunday. Monday morning I will make the rest of adjustments and if you didn't submit your coupons by then, they will be lost.
Obviously if something prevents you from submitting them before my deadline, PLEASE reach out ASAP.
Thanks
-
Still need the coupons from a few of the teams. I’d like to get these taken care of by the end of the week.
Send me DM or email me your coupons
-
Taking offers on Betts (2B/MI eligible now), Scherzer and Bieber. Probably moving at least one of those studs
-
Oh, right. TRADES.
-
Reminder - Arbitration period has begun and ends on November 14, 2021. Please make sure to use all your arbitration amount before then. Once arbitration is done, we will apply the coupons.
Thanks!
-
Thanks all - now let's get into the off-season and have a good time!
So far it sounds like everyone will be returning!
-
Congrats, Richfield.
-
Congrats, Richfield!
-
Missed a couple promotions so Edward Cabrera and Albert Abreu have been added to their respective teams. Please make necessary cuts to keep team legal.
If you ever see players promoted in real life and not added from MiLB roster in Ottoneu, please send me a message
-
Everyone on my team is available. If you want to win this league this year, make an offer.
-
Gray called up
-
I will call up Josiah Gray
-
Anyone interested in some minor league pitching?
-
I'm open for All-Star day trades!
-
The Brujan saga continues...looks like he was recalled again. I will be adding him to your roster now Fungo, as I'm sure he's here to stay - for the most part!
-
Who needs an outfield upgrade?
-
Thank you!
-
Fungo Follies -
Brujan got demoted before I could even add him. We'll call that a Doubleheader 27th man promotion and you can keep him on your MiLB Roster.
I have added Matt Manning to your MLB roster though for $1.
-
Looking to make some trades heading into the All-Star break. Get at me if you think I have someone who can help your team down the line. I'm looking at guys with present-day points value.
-
Thanks, Commish. I also now realize Matt Manning is up. Can you add him to my roster?
-
Brujan is called up today, technically as the 27th man for the Doubleheader. Given that technicality, I'm not forcing a promotion yet, but if/when he stays on the team after the DH, FUNGO FOLLIES will have a new Tampa Bay Ray on his team.
-
Who wants one of my outfielders?
