Is there any way for my team to not show up on the dashboard? I’ve been trying to abandon it. Thanks
-
Arbitration ends TOMORROW - here are our current stats from looking at: https://ottoneu.fangraphs.com/586/allocations
7/12 managers have finished allocations - let's get to 12/12 (or at least 10/12 given we have two vacancies!)
-
Hey everyone, we have 6/12 managers with arb completed with a deadline of Thursday.
We also have two openings - anyone have a friend or lead for us to reach out to?
-
Just a reminder that I won’t be back next year. Good luck everybody
-
Hi Commish and owners, congrats to the winners, wanted to say it's been a pleasure playing with all of you this season. Got way too many leagues and cannot maintain the rythm (time consuming and $$$). So I won't be renewing many of my leagues like this one, got some talent to attract new owner for next year so you should be able to quickly fill vacancy. have a good arb and a great future season! Thanks Commish for great work
-
Congrats House on the win.
-
Looking like Rough House will. Congratulations
-
Thank you for the kind words VSB. I still think you are the better player, but sometimes one of the rest of us has to get lucky. And I’m still sweating. Chris Sale could have a bad start tomorrow. I don’t count my chickens etc. But the race between you and me and Lil Max has been a highlight of a tough year. Stay well, Chris.
-
RHB - wow, what a season - congrats on finishing at the top spot! It's been a long time coming that the streak would end and even though my team has struggled mightily the past 6 weeks I hope that I made you sweat at least a little to the very end :)
-
Just an FYI for the league. This is in the community section and comes from Niv. Because the Mets/Braves will have a doubleheader on Monday, the season will be extended for those games and the stats will count. This will also extend the official end of season to Monday at 11:59pm EST. This means you can still start an auction on Saturday before 11:59pm EST and it will process. Any auctions started after that will not have enough time for the 48hr waiver wire period. Thanks.
-
Final night for trades.
-
Only a few days left to make trades before the deadline.
-
And yeah, lift one high for Votto (whatever your beverage of choice), one of the best to ever do it, my fav player in baseball, and hopefully I'll see him back in Cincy soon doing whatever he wants to.
-
Bummer to hear you most likely won't be back Cornucopia!
Also thanks for the shoutouts earlier everyone on the Prestige run, I was bummed to see it end the way it did :(
-
Pour one out folks. Joey Votto has officially hung up his spikes.
-
I’m 90%certain I won’t be back next year. I’ll manage my team but don’t think I should make any big trades. It’s been a lot of fun. Good luck everyone.
-
Congratulations Votto.
-
Great run VSB
-
Commiserations to VSB who did not advance to round 6 of the Ottoneu Prestige League. By making it to round 5, VSB defended the honor of the Captain’s Table, and we salute him.
-
Thanks RHB! I was sweating the last matchup and I got a tough one going this round too!
-
Congratulations to VSB who has made it to round 5 of the Ottoneu Prestige League. Got through round 4 with 17 points to spare.
-
lol nice pun!
I would say the recency bias also account for post draft super hyped prospects, who at the time of debut may be a $12-$15 rookie.
At the end of the day they’re still volatile lotto tickets.
This instant success of Nando, Vlad, Ely are leading people to think all tops draftees/J2s are capable of that talent.
Wait what am I saying… yes, yes please all my opponents spend big on top draft guys yes muahahahaha
-
My point was that Bazzana and Condon went for quite reasonable salaries compared to Rece Hinds, whose $12 salary is the result of - sorry, can’t help myself - Recency bias.
-
Not close to convinced I'll be keeping my $10 draftees in 2025, but felt like price enforcing if my season is going nowhere. Winning bids on these guys seem to be increasing each year.

Big difference is Rece Hinds is in the majors. These guys are freshly out of the draft pool.
Top draft picks go for premiums now, just a few years ago they would have been, 2-4 dollar pick ups
-
Well that was dull. Rece Hinds went for $12. The eye of the beholder, right. Stay well, everyone.
-
even after winning the Bazzana auction for $10, I was surprised it went that high. I'm assuming Condon goes for even more with how fun it is dreaming on Rockies hitters

Bazzana’s median salary in 5x5 is $10. Charlie Condon may be another story. Shall we find out?
-
Me: I wonder what Bazzana will go for…
Me: 👀
-
I’ve got about 12ish hours to make any trades for the Prestige snapshot. Willing to move any player or contract that helps me this season. Hit me up if you're interested in swinging a trade today!
-
Thank you for sharing an update and hope you have a speedy recovery RHB!
-
Thank you all for your kind thoughts. I am touched by all of them. Stay well, Chris.
-
Hope you’re feeling better soon, RHB!
-
Hope you have a speedy recovery.
-
RHB - I’m happy you’re alive too and hope you have a speedy recovery! We are definitely on polar opposites on the trade slinging, and they don’t always work out making looking back at trades through the years pretty fun. You might do more than keep the chair warm, you might be keeping it for yourself all season!
-
Hey Chris, wish you a speedy recovery, take care
-
I was going to write a clever riposte to VSB’s trade message about being willing to give up future value to win this year. But VSB was too fast for me. I’m recovering from open heart surgery. What can I say? I’m still the crotchety old guy who hates trading. VSB is a better player than me, and there’s no shame in keeping the first place chair warm for him. I’m happy to be alive. Chris.
-
Hold my beer.
-
Blockbuster trade with a major loan, good work I guess
-
Happy 2024 Opening Day!
-
Good to see that podcasters are getting auctioned. Trevor May - Rates & Barrels - every Friday.
-
Jays and Max - your presences is requested at the draft room.
-
10 minute warning. Still missing a comish to start the show.
-
About 30 minutes to draft time.
-
Draft tonight! 8PM EST
-
Looking to fill one last open team in a Yahoo league.
14 Teams, H2H. You can keep any (10) players, so plenty left in the draft pool.
Team features: Ohtani (batter), Castellanos, Lowe, Logan Gilbert, Joe Ryan, Lopez, Buxton, Happ, Stott
Please let me know if you're interested.
-
Setting it for March 4th unless someone objects! :)
-
I can make the 4th work, so that should be all good
-
What I am seing in many leagues I'm in, when there is only one team not available, the draft date is set anyway and proxies are found for that team
