I just learned this year that before the season starts, ties are broken by a coinflip the system does. I can't remember how many years I've been doing Ottoneu and I just found that out, like, this week.
-
I am surprised that i lost the Bryan De La Cruz auction to Call Me Daddy. We both bid $4 and he finished higher in last seasons standings than me... i guess my question is, what is the tiebreaker for auction bids?
-
Respect Quack of the Bat for the absolute top tier name. Reminding everyone, especially West Coast peeps we are drafting Sunday morning. I think our drafts typically take about two hours. If you are new to auction drafts be prepared to stay until the end, that's where the tasty nuggets tend to drop.

Would that make you a certified quack?

[Announcement] After being acquired by Duck Baseball Inc. in the offseason, the Park Bums have now been renamed ⚾🦆Quack of the Bat🦆⚾
-
Well I guess it’s true that it’s darkest just before dawn. Have to admit I was prepared for no baseball this year the way the owners behaved but alas, we get baseball! Draft is set for 3/20 noon EASTERN.
-
Whatever you guys choose works for me, only day I'm not available is March 19 but it looks like we'll be drafting after that so I'm good
-
Noon eastern should be good for me as well.
-
I am fine with what everyone else is fine with. Easy going over here.

I’ve been messaging with Ace and they’re willing to be accommodating so I’m just checking in with you all here. Anybody have an issue with moving our draft up two hours on the 20th to noon eastern? Also maybe we’ll choose to delay our draft longer if lockout news doesn’t improve? Hope y’all are doing great.
-
My apologies: The other draft is scheduled for March 20, but starts at 3:00 CST.

Ok I reset for March 20, same time. Please let me know if you have a conflict.
-
Totally fine with moving it back.
-
I’m good with moving it back as well
-
Should be good for me.
-
I'm also ok with the draft moving back.
-
That’s fine with me.

Yeah, I'm totally cool with that.

I'd be okay with moving the draft date back, assuming the adults in the room can't get this stuff figured out in an expedient manner.

With the uncertainty of the lockout and so many free agents dangling out there I’m considering that we could push back our draft a couple weeks. Might not change anything but also might be more fun to auction with a little more info. Would anyone object to rescheduling for 3/20?
-
Almost at the cuts deadline here. Time to make the final decisions!
-
Does anyone need a 1B? Abreu, Cron, Seth Beer and Schoop are available. Not looking for much (Cron a little more), just something keepable.
-
It's the final countdown! I'd love to move anyone on my (recently expanded) available block. I'd listen on anyone for a good offer, of course. We've got 12 hours. If you want to, let's make a deal! - Jim
-
Fellow members, I'm still looking for middle infield options, preferably everyday-types I can plug-in 2B, shortstop or MI. Thank you.

Hey ya’ll, theirs an abandoned squad in another league I’m in. Ottoneu points, $75 buy in, pretty competitive and I think the abandoned team is pretty good. Don’t know if you can see it here but let me know if you’re interested. https://ottoneu.fangraphs.com/653/team?team=4573
-
Been a busy week, but I also wanted to say welcome Icaro!
-
Thanks for the welcome, everyone. Love the engagement level here, really looking forward to competing with you all!
-
Welcome! Good to have you here.
-
Welcome to the league Icaro!

I figured it wouldn't take long for somebody to take over The Park Bums, that roster is stacked. Welcome, Icaro! I was new to the league last year and am super grateful to be here. I had a blast last season, you're going to love playing in this league.
-
Glad to have you, Icaro! We'll certainly try our best to keep you from taking over the league just yet :)
-
Welcome Icaro! I think you will find this crew affable and smart. Please feel free to wheel and deal, you’ve got about a week to sort it out.
-
That is the Park Bums of course, I'm not taking over the whole league lol
-
Hey everyone, my name is Icaro and I just took over Eephus Loogys. Glad to be here!
-
Wow, that was fast.
Welcome to the new owner!

If any of you know someone who’d like to take over Park Bums now is the time to put them in touch with me. If I don’t hear by Wed night I’ll abandon the squad and find a new owner.
-
Thanks for letting us know!

I have not heard from Park Bums unfortunately, hasn’t logged in since mid December. The re-up deadline has come and gone, sent them an email checking in but no response. I’m just putting this out to see if any of you have a way to reach that manager before we search for a replacement. If I don’t get a response I’ll look for a new owner this weekend. Hope you all are good!
-
Keeper deadline is pushed back to at least 2/15 by the central Ottoneu powers that be. The announcement is at the top of the page. Possible further pushbacks depending on the progress of the lockout.
-
Happy new year peeps. Incredibly we are fast approaching our cut deadline. Have to say once again that I’m impressed with the quality of this league and the competition it brings! I have set our draft for 3/6 at 2pm EST. If anyone has a hard conflict please let us know now so we can make adjustments. Thanks again to everyone for your participation and making this little distraction from reality so enjoyable. 👑

Nothing like cutting guys on Christmas Eve!
-
No time better than the present, I suppose.
-
You can really cut at any time. There's a school of thought to do it at the last minute, since technically someone may want to trade you for them, but that's also risky if you forget to finish your cuts (as I did one year). So long story short, cut people whenever works for you. It is funny no one has cut a single person yet though.
-
Just curious... when do we start dropping players in anticipation of the new season and draft. I was going to, but since no one else is, I'm leery of being the first to jump in. Is there a practical date/time that occurs.
