There's a hell of a battle for 3rd place right now.
-
Alot of separation already between top teams and "the rest of us".
-
I bet you weren't alone in that call of Hendricks on the bench in SD!
-
Kyle Hendricks with 67 points, on my bench
-
I'd say Kershaw still has something left in the tank.

Happy opening day, everyone! Here's to a great 2022 in Dozen Eggheads.
-
If anyone is looking for another league, a new one is getting set-up that I just joined. It's a slow-draft (on Couchmanagers) and weekly lineups, so a bit less of a time investment. It sounds like the commish is still deciding on the format, but it's set at 5x5 right now. Here's the link: https://ottoneu.fangraphs.com/processinvite?code=eyJMZWFndWVJRCI6IjE0MTkiLCJJbnZpdGVyIjoibWtpcnNoZW5iYXVtIiwiSW52aXRlcklEIjoiNzc1OSJ9

Hi all -- the players and owners clearly knew they had to get the CBA done before our draft, so now we can do it knowing there will indeed be a season. :) A reminder that we're drafting tomorrow (Saturday) at 6pm PST / 9pm EST. See you in the draft room!
-
If anyone is interested I had a last-second vacancy in league 845. It's a H2H FGPTs league. https://ottoneu.fangraphs.com/845/team?team=6075

Commish, you forgot to add, draft is 4:00am Israel time...

We've got a draft time: Saturday, March 12th at 9pm EST, 6pm PST. Thanks for the responses to the poll!
-
Done
-
Let's try to get the draft scheduled. In the past we've done last week of Feb / first week of March. Let's try to push that back a week or so this year due to the CBA stuff and so many free agents still unsigned. So please fill out this poll with ALL the times you can possibly make it. And please use your team name as the ID -- that makes it easier to do follow-up. Thank you! https://doodle.com/poll/vxzihhmhws27ehmh?utm_source=poll&utm_medium=link

Hey all -- It's time to renew for our Ottoneu league. If you haven't done so already, please head to your user account and pay for the upcoming year. Thanks!
-
Hey all -- the keeper / trade deadline has been pushed until February 15th due to the uncertainty of the CBA stuff. That was a change made across Ottoneu leagues. So two extra weeks to contemplate keeps, cuts and trades!
-
Happy new year, everyone! A couple of quick things -- I'll be sending out a scheduling poll this week for the draft, but I'm going to mostly have dates a bit closer to the start of the season given the CBA stuff going on and how, probably at best, we might not know the destination of a lot of (real-life) free agents until well into spring training, whenever that occurs. Also, a reminder that the end of the month is the keeper deadline / pre-draft trade deadline.

Welcome Davido! And happy Thanksgiving to everyone!

Welcome to the league, Davido. Great team name!!

Welcome! And the team name is perfect.

Welcome Davido. Seems like you are honoring Kevin just right

Davido here. Kevin/PLR along w/ Murph/LS have played fantasy together since '05. I never met Kevin personally, but always enjoyed his trade talks as an entry point for urbane conversation about all things Red Sox and baseball. I promise to continue to his penchant for overthinking marginal returns. I do solemnly swear to attend the draft, put in FA and arb bids, and answer all trade talks. Kevin's obscure fave player was Win Remmerswaal and will rechristen PLR as Kevin's Remmerswaals.

I'm sorry to hear the news about Kevin. My condolences to his family and friends.
-
Hi all -- We have a new owner for PLR. I'm glad to say that it's a friend of Kevin's. I'll let him introduce himself when he's ready.
-
Condolences to Swords. Kevin seemed like a genuinely nice person, and was always so polite...even when I extended a crappy deal his way. Water is right in that it's hard to get to know your FBB mates, but still we've all been a part of this little community for years now. Pancreatic cancer is cruel and relentless. I hope he didn't suffer too much. Best wishes to his family and friends. It's a sad loss.

Oh my, very sorry to hear this news. Fantasy baseball is an odd way to connect with another human being, but it is a real connection. I enjoyed his online company; he will be missed. Thank you for letting us know.
-
So sorry to hear this news.

That is darn sad news, and I'm very sorry for the loss of your friend. It was nice to have been in Kevin's company a bit, even if just playing fantasy baseball here. If there's someone who knows Kevin who would like to take over the team that would be a nice way of keeping the connection to him.
-
Sad news. He was in another league with me as well. Great guy to have in a league. Condolences.

I have some sad news. Kevin McCarthy AKA Poor Little Rabbits has passed away. He had been battling pancreatic cancer for the past 18 months. He caught it early but unfortunately, despite an optimistic prognosis, it wouldn't give. Kevin was my friend and I was the one who sucked him into Ottoneu. While he wasn't the greatest evaluator of talent (he's still waiting on those multiple Carlos Gomez 30/30 seasons) he was a good man and will be sorely missed.

just call me trader jack.
-
Arb is done - open for all trades people - send em my way
-
Holy smokes that's a quick start to the trade season!
-
I just for word that there are some very understandable extenuating circumstances for why PLR may have been absent. So we'll hold the course for now and wait for an update.
-
Hi all -- Thanks for doing arbitration and welcome to the Dozen Eggheads hot-stove season! Unfortunately, Poor Little Rabbits didn't do arbitration, hasn't been on the league page for a couple of months and didn't respond to several emails I sent about arb. I hate to be heavy-handed, but I'm going to reach out one more time and if I don't hear back, then I'm going to find a new owner for the team. But if anyone has objections to that approach, please let me know.
-
Welcome Chris! Your arrival means that I am officially no longer the new guy. I'm Phil - big Royals (hence my team name) and Nationals fan. My ongoing goal: finish in the top half of the league. Baby steps, baby steps.
-
Welcome to the League, Chris!!

Welcome Chris. Glad to have some new blood. You can expect a trade offer from me asap. Cody Bellinger is very available!!

Hello, I'm Chris, I will be taking over for the Second Order. I definitely consider myself an egghead. I also am an enthusiastic Ottoneu player, and I'm happy to be joining what looks to be competitive and interesting league. Thanks for having me.
-
Hey everyone -- we have a new owner for Second Order. Please welcome Chris to the Dozen Eggheads! By way of introduction I'll say that I'm a Cubs fan, love Ottoneu, and have been typing this entire message after taking a 106.5 mph comebacker off my leg and I may have a fractured tibia but nothing will keep me from my commissioner duties.
-
Hi all -- Second Order notified me that they are not coming back for next year. :( So we're looking for a new owner. If you know of anyone who would be really engaged, please let me know, otherwise I'll post the opening more broadly. Thanks, and happy arbitration!
-
Completed ARB - heres to no work stopage on 12/2
-
Huge hats off to SF for the last day drama and pulling that off! That's some drama. GG was right -- the Finos and Coastal were the class of the season and an impressive year for both teams. Thanks to all for the participation this year and giving it your best in the Dozen Eggheads. I'm assuming everyone will be returning next year, but let me know otherwise, and I'll be checking in during the off-season.
-
Epic finish! Congrats SF and thanks to all for another great season.

Thanks, GG!
