For league transparency, I will be using $4 of my coupons on Yordan Alvarez and the other $4 on Julio Rodriguez

Happy Monday!
We have 6 teams that need to start/finish arbitration by Tuesday night. Please do that ASAP.
Thank you!
-
REMINDER:
Arbitration ends a week from today. We still have about half the league that needs to do their arbitration. Please do that before the deadline. If you have any questions please reach out!
Thank you
-
Correction on my previous message:
Ottoneu off-season has indeed begun with the arbitration process among us. Please complete that by 11/14.
Thank you!
-
Happy to announce that after filling Thunder Bay Giants with Gator Dave, we are full with everyone else returning.
Not much to do at this point. Arbitration is first step of off-season, and I'd encourage everyone to hold with roster moves until arbitration is over.
Hold tight, enjoy the MLB playoffs and we'll meet back here after and start Ottoneu off-season!
Thanks all!
-
I will return

I am thrilled to announce that GatorDave is back in the league. He was part of the league last year before a family emergency left him out of the league.
He is back and has taken over the previous Thunder Bay Giants team.
Welcome (back) Dave!
-
Like Arnold, Iโll be back.
-
I've heard from only a few of the managers on their intent for 2024.
Please message me directly or on message board your plans for 2024. IF YOU DO NOT RESPOND BY EOD FRIDAY, OCTOBER 13TH I AM ASSUMING YOU ARE OUT AND I WILL START LOOKING FOR REPLACEMENT MANAGERS.
Let me know if you have any questions/concerns.
Thanks!
-
Now that the Ottoneu off-season has officially begun, I will do the official roll call for 2024.
PLEASE MESSAGE THE LEAGUE BOARD, OR ME DIRECTLY, IF YOU ARE PLANNING ON RETURNING NEXT YEAR OR NOT.
Please do so by Friday, October 13th so I have time to fill open vacant spots.
Thank you all!
-
Thank you Bryce and Granite City Saw Wings!
I admit this is a surprise! Not long ago I thought my chances of winning were slim. But my batters stepped up recently and my pitchers held the line.
-
Congrats to the canucks!! Great comeback

Let me be the first to congratulate Daryl and his Core of Canucks for winning the 2023 WWOL championship!! This is second title, with his first in 2020.
Everyone stay tuned as the season may be over, but the off-season has just begun for Ottoneu.
Plenty to come in upcoming days and weeks!
CONGRATULATIONS DARYL!!
-
Good luck today Skenes and Canucks. This has been fun to watch!

Couple promotions - DL Hall added to Bat City Bandits (this was long overdue, sorry!)
Junior Caminero promoted to MLB, added to Clark Calliopes
Both teams remain legal and no further moves needed
-
I usually don't do a roll call until after the season, but this year I'll do a more casual, earlier approach. If you plan on staying in league, no need to respond, but if you know you will not be returning, please message me when able. I feel like getting ahead of replacing owners will help recruit better managers before they go to other leagues.
No obligation to explain why you may be leaving, no judgements here. Just let me know. If you do want to publicly say you're in, that's go

Evan Carter promoted to MLB an added to Blackouts. No further moves needed
-
Jordan Lawlar promoted to MLB and added to Fungo Follies roster. He will have to make a roster move to remain legal.
-
Trade Deadline is Thursday! I'm always interested in talking trades as are several others. Let's see if we can get a few trades done in the final days!
-
Everson Pereira promoted to MLB and added to Core of Canucks team. A move will be required to remain legal.
-
Noelvi Marte promoted and added to Shirts & Skenes. Roster move was made to keep team legal.
Also Jukt really wants to trade.
-
Trades?
-
I'm open for trades!
-
Marco Luciano promoted by SFG and added to Saw Wings roster. They will have to make a move to have a legal roster
-
Sorry - had to play catchup. CES and Endy Rodriguez have been promoted to their Ottoneu teams. Clark's Calliopes and Fungo Follies need to make a cut to stay legal
-
Encarnacion-Strand promoted
-
Hell, yes.
-
A rule is a rule.
- Shirts & Skenes team manager
-
I like Saw Wings idea. I remember last year being a fiasco with Kumar and should have been addressed this past offseason.
Just stinks for the folks at the bottom who wonโt be able to grab during the draft.
-
I could be talked into something like that.
-
I personally enjoy the MiLB -5, but maybe we change it to a first year player draft?
Something like this:
- 5 players per team, only first year players are eligible for the draft.
- Players can be added to the 40 man roster at any time
- Any players not added to 40 man rosters at end of season can stay in the MiLB-5 pool, but take up a draft slot for the following season (like whats in place now)
This keeps the prospect draft in place, but frees up est

Also Robert just has a goal to make my life as commissioner as complicated as possible, so just ignore him - other than that Shirts vs Skenes idea.
Hahahaha!
-
I will reiterate all rules wonโt change until next yearโฆ
Wait Shirt vs Skenes? Yep that is the exception. That rule will be a part of the leagueโs charter effective immediately
-
And whoever wins Skenes needs to change their team name to โShirts vs. Skenes.โ It a rule. Sorry.
-
I agree with that rule. To spice it up, at least, we should make it that any MiLB player kept for 30 days or more is ineligible for MiLB-5. Itโs be a nightmare for Richfield, but that at least would make it more fun. Haha
-
More than happy to discuss and vote on this (and any other suggestions) during off-season.
All Iโd say now is all players in Ottoneu universe are eligible to be auctioned off as long as they are not on Ottoneu roster or Restricted list.
I sincerely apologize for any confusion
-
My thoughts: We should scrap MiLB-5. Our league's teams are ineligible for ottoneu Champions competition because of our rule. I loved MiLB-5 initially, but it makes the waiver wire a snooze-fest, and I'd like to try Champions sometime through our league.
-
We had this discussion last year with Kumar Rocker. There ended up not being anything in the charter saying they arenโt eligible and nothing was added, so 2023 MLB draftees are eligible to auctioned off
-
Shouldn't Skenes be a drafted player for next years pool?
-
Colton Cowser promoted to MLB and added to Fungo Follies roster. No further moves required.
-
Thanks! Andโฆ uhโฆ that was pretty much all my fault.
-
Westburg added. Sorry for delay!
-
Can I get him added to my anemic roster?
-
I do. Yay. Getting roster right.
-
Who has JORDAN WESTBURG?
-
Henry Davis promoted to Pirates and added to Blackouts. No further moves required
