• From the creator of Ottoneu (Niv @ https://community.ottoneu.com/t/questions-about-the-vote-off-system/1422/8). Vote-off is the system we launched with, that is what we came up with in the 5 years before Ottoneu became a service. Allocations were a community invention, and I think its a significant improvement over the vote-off system. It’s also much more in the spirit of the market-based economy of the game.

• All, re: the offseason process (looking ahead!), take a look at the arbitration options here under (d) - https://ottoneu.fangraphs.com/rules#offseason Basically, with allocations, you can add $ to players salaries - whereas with the vote-off, you vote for a player to be removed from the team (goes back to auction pool) To be entirely honest, I'm still a little sore from losing my $6 Aaron Judge last offseason after picking him up for $1 in 2015 and holding for multiple years!

• Hello all - I was wondering if for the upcoming season the group would consider switching to the allocation system vs. the vote-off? I really hate the vote-off personally, and think the allocation is more fair. It's what we use in the other league I play in and works well. Just figured I'd throw it out there sooner vs. later.

  Pinochle Jacks on June 25, 2018 2:12 PM

• prospects available for ace pitchers and some salary relief, Corey Seager should be mighty enticing for next year.

• I couldn't believe Swanson was available. I thought when you started an auction you automatically submitted a bid, and I thought I entered one manually as well - I would definitely not have beaten Pinochle's though.

• good news, all your pay-ins cleared and we have a full $480 pot. $240, $120, $72, $48 for the top 4 spots. Best of luck. Don't forget to set your lineups before games start early Thursday.

  Pinochle Jacks on March 26, 2018 9:20 PM

• ...you had your chance to trade him to me. Anyway, some random Yankee executive agrees with you on Bird (at least back in July) http://mlb.nbcsports.com/2017/07/07/yankees-brass-criticizes-greg-bird-for-being-injured/

  CGT on March 26, 2018 7:41 PM

• Will someone explain to Greg Bird that he’s a frickin’ first baseman and missing two seasons with ankle problems is not acceptable. He’ll Bill Buckner didn’t even use his legs. Jesus. So damn lame.

  Pinochle Jacks on March 26, 2018 5:37 PM

• You can, and that's a legitimate roster management strategy.

  The Raisin Paradox on March 25, 2018 12:30 PM

• Thanks. Can I trade my catchers after 162 games played?

  Cornucopia GrainBelters pts on March 25, 2018 12:17 PM

• Yes, you'll use the lineups tab to set your lineup each day. You can put one or two C in the lineup. You're limited to 162 total games played, but you can start two C on the same day and they'll both count. This makes it easier to hit the games played cap, and also lets you double up if you have good matchups. But if you fill both slots every day, you'll hit the games cap early and won't be able to earn points from those spots the rest of the season.

  The Raisin Paradox on March 25, 2018 10:59 AM

• CGP......You can use one, two, or no catchers on any given day/night. But you can not exceed 162 games played at the C position over the course of the season. Once you reach that 162 game limit, you have maxed out the C position.....

  Sky Riders on March 25, 2018 10:55 AM

• I assume we use the Lineups tab once the season starts. Do we only put one c in the lineup? thanks
