Great year everyone and congrats Hayden on being at the top from the start. Hope everyone is back next season
-
Yes, big win Hayden Sidd Finch! Well done.
-
Had some last-day fireworks in a few other leagues - none of that here. Congrats to Hayden Sidd Finch on the title - always a hard thing to win in Ottoneu! Great season!

I really enjoyed the season everyone. Thanks for competing! If any of you are interested in Ottoneu Basketball, here's a link to a league forming now. https://ottoneu.fangraphs.com/basketball/invite?invite=eyJMZWFndWVJRCI6NDcsIkludml0ZXJJRCI6IjIxMjg3NCJ9

DeGrom is nearing completion of his rehab. He is a sunk cost for me, and I have no interest in trading him unless he is valued as 100% himself. Anyone interested can trade for him now, or wait and see how his first three or four starts go. I am willing to pay his salary if necessary.
-
Team Leuco is now Kemper Fi.
-
Sorry I was out yesterday and missed the discussion. I think this is close to the borderline of unfair, but not over it. Stanton and Altuve are both owned at or above their average salary and will both be 33 at the start of next season, plus AM's roster is still capable of fielding a full line-up even with all the prospects. FanGraphs has Hassell's ETA as 2023 and Volpe as 2024 - if they were 18/19 year-olds I'd be more inclined to veto.
-
A top 15 and top 30 prospect for 2 guys on the downside of their careers that won't help his team when they are competitive? Is there really something wrong with that return?
-
for my teams current situation i think volpe+hassell+more draft money will give me a better chance to work on my team and improve it for next year and beyond than keeping altuve+stanton. they're having great years but i'm taking a chance at trading them before they decline and lose value. higher end prospects don't get traded too often so i had to give up more present value and gamble on the future value. definitely didn't intend any negatives since this has been a great league for a long time
-
Yeah, I'm on the fence as to whether it's veto-worthy. I generally only veto in cases of clear collusion or extreme negligence, I'd be interested in the rationale here. The only way I see it is if someone loves Hassell a lot more than I can see (I'm pretty high on Volpe).
-
I am way agnostic on trades, but I think I need some explanation on this one. Sorry, but Stanton and Altuve are both (potential) keepers at those salaries, and the return is two guys in A Ball. Plus more cash than is needed to cover salary is moving as well.
-
What's the level below dumpster fire? Asking for a friend...
-
Team Leuco is a dumpster fire. Julio Urias has been excellent of late, and stands out as a guy I likely won't keep for 2023 but also has trade value in 2022. So, if interested, he is available.
-
If anyone is interested in adding another team, I just created a new points league called May I Have Another. Feel free to join in you're interested.

Thanks for the responses, the spot is now filled :)

Hi folks, I don't suppose anyone is interested in taking control of a team in a Yahoo keeper league, at least just for this year? One owner has abandoned and there are only 10 of us so it's going to affect the league quite badly. The team has Alonso, Acuna, Bichette, Burnes, Wheeler & it's head-to-head OBP/HR/R/RBI/SB - W/ERA/WHIP/K/SV+H
-
Best of luck to all for the season ahead!
-
I swear I don't know anyone in the Mets front office

Nice Blockbuster trade there guys. Well done.

Hi all, apologies I was planning to send a reminder out a little earlier - hope everyone is ready!

Hi all. Have a few open teams in another of my Ottoneu leagues if anyone is interested. It's a $20 Old School format league: https://ottoneu.fangraphs.com/174/home

Thanks for the replies, looks like sticking with Tue 22nd is the preferred choice. Hopefully the majority of free agents will have signed before then.
-
i'm good with 3/22, or whatever the majority prefers
-
The 22nd works for me for similar reasons as Team Leuco, lots of leagues competing for dates.

I prefer to keep it on the 22nd.

I would prefer to keep the 22nd, only because I now have four leagues trying to cram auctions in before Opening Day, and having this already on the schedule is nice. But if everyone wants to change, I am game. I will be out of the country between March 25 and April 3. Not saying I cannot draft during that time...I expect to have internet, and I will be in EST...but I would prefer to give myself bumper days around travel, so not March 24-25, and not April 2-3.
-
I was not expecting that to come together so quickly! I'd vote a little closer mostly because I'm tied up 3/22 from 7 PT on. But I can make whatever work one way or another.

Finally looks like we have a season! If April 7th turns out to be opening day, do we think we should move the draft back to closer to then, or is the 22nd good enough? I'm happy to go with the consensus.
-
I don't think he can be added to Ottoneu until he signs an MLB contract. And no free agents will be signed during lockout.

Question about Seiya Suzuki - if the lockout is still going when we draft will he be available? I assume not but I'm not sure

Tuesday the 22nd works for me

Looking to deal on the last day before cuts. Open to moving anything, but obviously some players are less available than others.

Works for me as well.

Works for me. Thanks!

Thanks a lot to those who have completed the draft date poll. 7 entries and one message I've recieved strongly point to 3 dates being available to us (again, assuming a normla opening day) Would anyone object to me putting in Tuesday 22nd as our draft date and we'll come back to it to re-plan or refine the start time when we know more?

Hopefully you will have all just received an invite to a Doodle poll for the draft date. Please can you complete it so we can make a decision. Judging by yesterday's reports from the CBA meetings we will have to have a back-up plan but at least for now let's assume Mar 31st opening day is happening.

It's the last day for renewing your teams! I can see a few are still outstanding... Also I'll soon be sending out a poll for people to fill out the dates they're available to draft.

Ok, I appreciate it. I did not provide dates, but I will be gone March 25 through April 3. If the season is not delayed, I will be gone for the week leading up to Opening Day. But, I will still be in CST, and should be able to participate in an auction during those dates. It would not be my preference, but I can make it happen. I understand everyone wants to draft as late as possible.
-
Absolutely, I've set the date shown purely to have a date set, it's by no means the day and time I'm proposing yet. I believe it's always best to have it as close to opening day as possible, so probably best for us to plan for that being Thu 31st and have to be flexible if/when it changes. Does anyone have any other dates they're 100% unable to make in mid-late March?

No problem for me but there's a decent chance that opening day is a bit later than usual this year :(
-
I will be out of the country from March 25 through opening day. Is it possible to discuss moving our auction?
-
Hi folks, I hope everyone enjoyed the holidays & new year! We now have a new owner for Kratz Off to Ya. I saw a post recently by Niv to say the keeper deadline might possibly be flexible depending on the CBA negotiations and possibility of a shortened season. https://community.ottoneu.com/t/keeper-deadline-adjust-if-lockout-occurs/10611

Me again - just for full transparency, I've messaged the owner of ufo as he hasn't signed in since June, asking if he's okay and going to renew. If he isn't coming back or doesn't reply in a couple of days I'll look for a new owner. In the meantime I've added myself as co-owner under a 2nd account to complete arbitration if a new owner can't be found quickly. I'll be sure to do it as fairly as possible and I'll make sure my own team is given the full $3 on players you guys have already chosen :)

Hi folks, just a reminder for arbitration. It ends next Sunday 14th. I can see around half of you have already allocated :)

I'd be happy with CWS v TBR and MIL v LAD in the championship series. Any of those 4 winning would be just fine by me.

Rooting for the Yankees. In the event tonight doesn't go well, I'll probably switch to Tampa Bay.

thanks all, finally got one and looking forward to year 6 of this league. it definitely wasn't easy with a lot of competition especially from Snell and Hayden. now we get to watch some nice real life playoff matchups. anyone have any personal rooting interests in the teams involved?

Congrats Millville, well done!

We may need a new owner, ufo hasn't been online since June. I hope he's okay and I'll send him a direct message soon. On that note, I hope everyone has been well through the year, safe & healthy! Enjoy the post-season :)
