Dinger Derby is a weekly moves league. We have a slow draft. The top six teams at four weeks to go in the season go to a head-to-head playoff. It’s different.
-
Now I'm curious, how are we different?
-
3701, I’ll volunteer to be commissioner.
-
Welcome to the league Terry. You’ll find this league a bit different from your other league. (I’m in that one as well.) I hope you keep enjoying Ottoneu.

Hello all... I am Terry Larson and I have claimed the Martian BC. This will be my second team and season with Ottoneu. These kind of things happen when you sit down to watch a college football game and it get's really boring. You think to yourself, I wonder what kind of open teams there are at Ottoneu and by the end of the game I had gone through every team in this format and found myself with another team in a new league. Looking forward in joining you for an exciting and active 2024 season.

Found a proxy to complete arb for Martian Baseball Club. Looks like all teams have now entered their allocations. Thanks everyone!

My preference in one form or another would be to have this wrapped up by 11/14 however. Maybe proxy works best? I can post a message in Slack if that's the direction the league wants to go.

I'm okay with an alternative as well, either 1) proxy allocation (ie, someone outside our league) or 2) waiting for a new owner. If #2, I think the one caveat is that traded players are ineligible to receive arb dollars (cost needs to be locked/known for trades).

I agree we need to "complete" arb for Martian in one form or another. I'm okay with the commish's original proposal so long as 1) $25 gets spent and 2) no team gets more than $3 from Martian. What mechanisms do we have to ensure this happens?

In the past, we've either picked up a new owner before allocations were completed or had the new owner do their own manual allocations if they joined after the allocation window closed.

If it’s a blind process, we can’t know which players or teams have been chosen by other owners. $22 could go to the same team or even the same player. Martian BC shouldn’t be allocated any money because we’re simulating that team’s allocation. Can we get a proxy to do the allocation? That seems simpler.
-
What are the rules for the extra dollars? Does the limit per team still apply or can they go anywhere?
-
Big Papi allocated before he left.
-
Arbitration Update: with another team dropping out I am requesting managers allowcate 4$ instead of the previously required 2$.
Thanks

Please abandon this team. I was victim of a stroke on Sep 15, so I will have to quit my part time job losing my Ottoneu spending money, anyway don't have the same energy to manage so many leagues, will be quiting many leagues. Sorry to let you down guys, thanks.

Arbitration: With 11 teams currently completing arbitration I am asking each manager to allocate 2 more dollars. This should mitigate the loss of the 25$ from Martian BC not getting spent. Please send me a message or email with your selections and I will add the dollars manually on the last day of arbitration. Please do not post allocations on league message board. If we get e new manager before the end of arbitration then I will let the new manager make their own selection. sshoberg@gmail

Well, I‘m all in on the Brewers. But what a tough loss last night… I really hope they recover and turn two into wins the next nights… Otherwise I would root for the Orioles as well! But first: Go for it, Brewers!!!

Congrats on Championship, I'm rooting for the Orioles

Thanks, all. My first Ottoneu championship. Learned a lot this season. Got lucky too. And stayed fairly healthy. Look forward now to some playoff baseball. Rooting for some new blood - maybe Tampa can finally pull it off? Would love to see my fellow midwestern teams in Milwaukee and Minnesota make a run. What about y’all?

Yeah, Roll, congrats for a hell of a season win. Great job, mate. And thanks to Lesbos for putting up this very close title race. I enjoyed it as much as the whole season.
-
Congrats Tribe on a championship season. Third highest point total in league history. I think top to bottom this was the most competitive season we've had.

Roll Tribe rolled, which I hope rocked their world. I am impressed that Lesbos Eunuchs used every game and inning they had. I’ve never managed that.
-
thanks for the update...can't see the leaders from here
-
My back of the envelope math says Roll Tribe should win by a little over 500 points. YMMV
-
Looks like 2018 was separated by 71 points. Should be close again this year, but feeling confident I can cap off this come from behind run. Stay tuned!

Hi all,
I will be stepping away from this league, sadly.
Too much going on, and next year will be absolutely crazy.
Out of respect for this league and how hard it is to run this type of roster, it's better I let go of this team. I sincerely won't have time.
It's been fun. Wish you all the best.
Miguel.

Never saw a $2 for $1 player deal include a loan...well played!

I'll consider any offer you make RT

Separately, with the trade deadline near, I’m looking to add to my 2023 roster. I can use SP and RP, and perhaps MI. Willing to take on 2024 cuts for the right price.

Keith Law wrote a very good piece of their baseball operations function in Thr Athletic. It was far from complimentary, and questioned who really makes the decisions. Gaeger, I’m happy to send it to you if you don’t subscribe.

I hate when people lose their jobs, Kenny and Rick are humans too, but as a fan, I am incredibly excited to have new leadership running the ballclub. Theo would be a dream, but I'd be thrilled with Kim Ng and people have floated Mike Rizzo as well.

Two years in a row trading for a Rays SP that needs to get TJ shortly after joining the squad. Sad panda

Before. The Middleton comments actually give me hope that things have gotten so bad that Reinsdorf has no choice but to clean house in the front office and on the field

A team put up 305.9 points in the Dozen Eggheads of Fantasy league yesterday. It can be done.
-
Figured you'd seen it, having 130 active teams
-
I had one last year in a league, don't remember which one, pretty easy if you're lucky and have 4 x SP same day that get each 50+ and a 100 points on offense, I guess it's not that easy if we almost never see it

Nope, Sir! Definitely... ✌️ But next season… 😉

I wonder what the highest scoring day for an entire team is in our league history. Is that something that Ottoneu tracks? I know we've definitely had some 200+ point days. Has anybody ever touched 300 in a day?
