One of the first things I like to do in the start of the off-season is get an understanding of who is returning. So if you know either way, please let me know on message board so I can keep track. A simple Yay or Nay will do, and if you'd prefer to do privately - send me a DM. I'll give everyone a week or so to respond.
Thanks!
-
Thank you for the message and the season-long effort, even when you knew you were leaving at the end of the year. I am pretty sure I have someone lined up for this vacancy, but I'll keep everyone posted.
I'll likely have a wrap up email in the upcoming days where we can discuss possible changes, but until then everyone enjoy the last game of the regular season!
-
Thanks for allowing me to join your league over the past 3 years. I am leaving after this year because I do not like that significant salary cap differences can exist early in the year altering significantly the competitive environment. This concern does not match the desires of this league. I will not load up like that, so, it is time for me to depart. I hope that you respect that I finished the league (in 2nd) despite knowing that I was leaving. Wishing you all fair winds and fair balls..

Yoooooooooooooooooo.
-
Got my leagues mixed up - I thought it was the rule in both leagues I am commissioner, but I don't see any rules in the writing in the league charter. Please bid all your money on Kumar Rocker. Or whatever you'd like.
Thanks for the heads up Mr. Sanchez!
-
Are we sure about that? Jack Leiter was added to a roster in 2021, the same year he was drafted.
-
Please do not bid on Kumar Rocker. 2022 MLB Draftees are not allowed to be put up for auction until after the MiLB draft. Once that auction is over, I will remove the player from that team with no cap penalty. I apologize if this was not made more clear earlier.
Thanks
-
Gunnar Henderson promoted, Get Up..gone!!! needs to make roster move to get under legal limit.
-
I'm open for business.
-
Happy Trade Deadline Day!
-
Garrett Mitchell added to Austin Jackalopes roster with his callup. No further moves needed as team remains legal.
-
Cade Cavalli added to Bang the Drum Slowly's roster prior to his callup and start tomorrow. No further moves needed as the team remains legal size.
-
Reminder that the trade deadline is next Wednesday August 31. Last chance to make trades until after the season! Update those trade blocks and send some offers over to your fellow managers!
-
Garett Mitchell OTB. Plus others
-
I'm making moves to see how close I can get to Richfield. Make me an offer for my young guys. I need major point-earners. Hit me up.
-
5MiLB spreadsheet is updated, several players were already added, just not noted on the spreadsheet. But I did add those who needed to be added. Please let me know if I missed anyone.
-
I'd love to acquire all your high-priced, non-keeper players. Inquire within.
-
Can I get Bleday added to my active roster please
-
Thanks for the heads up - that is definitely my biggest blind spot during the season. I will take a look at it tonight and make adjustments as needed.
-
Looks like the 5-milb rosters need to be updated. There have been a few call ups that have not been noted. Specifically, Nolan Jones, Max Meyer and JJ Bleday. There may be others, but those are three that I noticed
-
I'd still like to make a trade. Buying or selling on my end. Make an offer.
-
Cole, Goldschmidt and Hoskins are available — plus many more.
-
I'm selling too. First to make a reasonable offer for Correa gets his production for the rest of the season.
And I'll consider offers on any other player.
-
I’d rather have an $80 loan on Opening Day. Haha.
-
Happy Father’s Day to all who celebrate!
I also wanted to note that there is incentive for 2nd place finishes with $8 in Arb coupons. So if y’all are scared of catching some wild fighting Turkeys, there’s still something to fight for with the most Arb coupons available
-
On the flip side for me: If you are out-out and have expensive star players, take a look at my roster. I probably need two great hitters and another great pitcher to attempt to close this gap and make this a competitive race. I’m definitely willing to try if someone wants to deal.
-
That might be the best compliment- disagree with me, but still respect me/think I do a good job! Thank you!
-
All my high-priced players are available, for anyone who wants to take in Richfield. (Also, I think Richfield is a very good commissioner, even if I consistently disagree with him.)
-
I mean we can just vote against these lopsided trades as long as there’s majority.
Turk does a great job here as commish, and yea he’ll probably win again but with all the call ups it’ll be other teams with the studs soon enough
-
Just my two cents.
-
They’ll show up in FA search, but it’ll be highlighted in red that they are restricted.
And we’re only stashing 60 prospects at most, so there’s still plenty of options to get some pop up/helium prospects.
-
Yes, they are restricted. But they still pop up in FA searches, correct? So you click on a guy and then have to see if he’s responded. Also, I’d rather have a lower-tiered team have the chance to acquire a $6 prospect than give that player away for free to a top-tier team.
-
However a $6 top prospect is much less valuable than one that doesn’t cost anything and doesn’t count towards your 40 man roster.
We also have rules set up to help those teams on the bottom to get better prospect picks.
The Google doc is updated, the players are on restricted list. I honestly love this feature, but can put it up for vote at end of season.
-
It’s hardly a perfect fix, but it’s something that opens up the player pool and would help out lower-positioned teams.

I think we need to eliminate MiLB-5. I think it is a disservice to lower-ranked teams and makes it more difficult for them to acquire low-cost, potential stars in the middle of a season. It’s also a pain to figure out who has which player. Richfield does a great job keeping up with it, but I think it is confusing (and darn difficult when you’re searching the waiver wire). Perhaps everyone can keep one of their MiLB-5 for $1, but all other players go back to free-agency.
-
I’ll say this - I’m obviously not changing rules mid-season, but am open to discussing in off-season, but no rule will be added/changed unless 7 managers approve it.
I don’t want to lose any managers because of this, but I am playing within the confines of the Ottoneu rules, with no collusion at all.
-
I’ll chime in again.
I’m quite opposed to any salary cap as stated earlier in the season. Doesn’t seem to help much, and in fact hurts the selling teams.
But I’ve always stated I’m open to ideas that the majority of league has agreed on. However with over 1000 Ottoneu leagues, playing within the rules that Niv set up seems to be working for most leagues. Ive tried changing the rules before and it a) doesn’t work as well and b) adds more work for me for not a good reason
-
But if the will of the league is to let these type of transactions happen, I should find another place to spend my time. I just need to know at some point as it is not what I want in a league.

Adding Harper, which has 488 points which is highest on his team without having to cover his salary did not hurt his chances. He probably was going to win anyway. I just do not want it completely locked down in April. Wasted season.

I agree that Richfield is really running up the score this year, but disagree as to why. He’s built a roster with a ton of surplus - lots of salaries well below market. Sure it’s great to get a Harper with a big loan, but more important are the $13 Yordans, $19 Burnes, $38 Acunas. etc., etc., etc. To focus on one or two trades this year doesn’t accurately explain the success built on the longer term process he’s executed. I just think he’s been outplaying us for the most part.
-
My fear with the large amount of salary traded before the first week was over has come true. It appears that this week the 2nd place and the 4th place teams have thrown up the white flag before June was over. If we do not address this moving forward, I am out. Too bad as I have worked for two prior years to build a pretty good team. But, it feels like a waste as any team can just pile in for a one year play and toss out years of building.

If anyone wants players in an attempt to take down Richfield, I'm open for offers. All my higher-priced players are available.

Hello and welcome.
-
Welcome Gator
-
Welcome Gator!
-
Welcome Dave!
-
Welcome to the league, Dave.

Thanks, Commish. Happy to be aboard. I'll be the Seminole Stingrays (named after my grandson's little league travel team) going forward. I'll try and get the trade block updated soon
