Wait, what???
-
Is doesn’t even matter since one team didn’t vote. No one is being voted off now.
-
Ok, wow, those arb results were uhh, interesting.
Someone actually said to themselves “that $69 Wander Franco is the best asset on the team with Aaron Judge and a cheap Shane McClanahan.” I’m guessing it’s also the same fella that threw a vote Suzuki’s way.
-
Going into airplane mode here, like Brett Phillips! Wheee! Thanks for a great season of fantasy baseball, and enjoy the playoffs! Go Guardians!
-
Congrats Mathis for Nerds. Excellent job wheeling and dealing your way to victory. Well deserved
-
Afraid the race is over. My bats have gone limp. Might have to rename the bombers lest I be accused of false advertising
-
Great race. Fun to watch back in the pack as a spectator
-
As long as we’re posting our mistakes, I traded my favorite player - Trea Turner - for the young Royals SS in a cost-cutting move not thinking I’d be in this pennant chase. A lesson in hubris
-
Definitely has been a fun close race for a while, and I have been watching Hippos creep up the standings, with the 'momentum'...now about 20 game days to go, I have not a clue who will be 1, 2 or 3. A regret for me is that I didn't pick up Gimenez in a trade before he got put on the wire! There's a bunch of trades on my ledger, which was fun on its own, but definitely trying to raise the jolly roger this season as best as the randomness of baseball will allow. Flags fly forever and all.
-
Don't remind me, trading away Hader saved my ERA/WHIP though? Rest assured I've made plenty of other mistakes, dropping Andres Gimenez and Clay Holmes, and don't forget I traded away Arenado
-
Oh man this is soooooo close with 3 weeks to go. Thought Mathis might end my reign a couple weeks ago, and he still may, but now the Hippos are also charging from the outside lane, making it a 3-team race. If they finish a point or 2 out from the title that Freeman trade will haunt them

Open to moving just about anybody for the right price. Not looking like my year!

We're making moves now E. Duran at 9, Tyler Anderson at 13 . . . inflation is here!
-
Hey BB → Glad to make an offer, maybe you can post on your trade block what you want for Ketel Marte, haha.
-
Man, I really need to get in on some of this trading action. Someone make me an offer so I don’t feel so left out
-
Hi, no one needs me to pile on, but I just appreciate the fact that we can use the discussion board for discussion. Great league mates, thanks. I am personally good with using the vote approval/veto buttons as confirmation, especially since everyone had a chance to clarify.
-
That's fair, EI, and I appreciate your view point, and further, I have no problem at all with you expressing it. I don't think it's enough to undo a deal though. That, IMHO, is and should be a high standard, where either one person feels taken advantage of, or everyone else feels the deal is vastly unfair. I don't see either being the case here.
-
Thanks for the responses. I’m certainly not trying to be “that guy” and complain just to complain. I don’t have a dog in the hunt as you both have better teams than I do. This one just seems really unbalanced no matter how I look at it. I think Hippos could win the league with those guys, but if he does want to gather prospects I think he can do a lot better for Freeman and Hader if he is also paying their salaries. Just my opinion
-
Agree. If everyone feels the trade is unfair, I'll rescind it. I'm certainly not looking to take advantage of anyone. CH contacted me about Freeman and as I have a bunch of prospects on my roster, that was the only way I could really make a deal from my perspective. Anyway, open to people's thoughts on this, though I should say for the record I don't typically make a habit of undoing trades where both parties are happy. As long as they're genuine.
-
With a zombie team, my draft strategy was to hoard second-tier, non-dynasty types to try and flip into MLB ready talent during the season. I had the Scherzer/Turner Gray/Ruiz trade in mind.
But I get that the trade looks heavy, I assume the inclusion of Hader is the issue. I'm totally fine with whatever the league decides.
-
My defense: Freeman is a rental at a non-premium position, Hader is throwing the fewest innings of his career. All three of the prospects in return are top 50ish and MLB-ready: Casas is top 20, seems pretty low-risk (as much a prospect can be) with that K/BB rate and a clear path to playing time, Duran flopped in his first taste of MLB but is tearing it up again AAA, shine is admittedly off Lowe (43% K rate!) but post-hype sleeper? Shorter defense: it's my first ottoneu season
-
I’m with you
-
I'm really relaxed when it comes to letting deals go through nd people run things the way they want. But can someone explain to me the rationale of the deal on the board right now? It just doesn't makes sense to me on one side
-
Looking to deal Matt Manning for a hitter(s) if anyone wants to make an offer
-
I'm hoping most people can make something close to the draft time. If they can't, I'm happy to hold the draft if you can let me know when you think you'll be there.
-
Will try and make it by 8, should be in draft by 815
-
I cannot make an 8 pm draft tomorrow. Is there any way we can do another date? I need a ton of players and prefer to draft myself but if not I’ll start looking for proxy

Tuesday won't work for me. Sounds like this could be tricky. How's Monday for everyone?
-
Hey everyone that's wondering how to get the draft scheduled: I Set up a quick poll for options Saturday through Wed, then we can be all organized. It's completely anonymous, no emails or anything, so it seems like the right tool for this job: copy/paste: xoyondo.com/dp/ZsQsCiddCx5UN1e
-
My 20-year-old NL-only auctions Wed night. That’s a no-go for me. Then again, I really only need 3/4 players. I could probably find someone to proxy for me. Y’all schedule it whenever you can and I’ll figure it out
-
I'm also open Wednesday at the same time if that works better for everyone. I would hate for anyone to have to miss the auction
-
I will have to miss the draft if it is Tuesday at 9pm est, I have a Little League Game (Manager) at 5pm pst, I will have to auction for the scraps or make some trades I guess
-
Tuesday works for me.

Tuesday is good

Tuesday night all good by me
-
Tuesday at 9ET works for me as well
-
Tuesday night works for me
-
Based on the comments, I’m not sure there’s an ideal time between now and the start of the season, but maybe Tuesday night at 9 eastern???
-
Should we officially get a draft scheduled?

Quick question: is there any way to review results of the league's Auction Drafts in years past? Just wanted to get a feel for values.
-
Welcome to the happy fun zone! Also glad that new owners have joined in. Opening day is almost here
-
Welcome Fellas. Glad to have us filled up.
-
Hey All - Looks like I just completed the league. I'm really looking forward to it. Long time fantasy player (generally on Fantrax)that used to play Otteneu way back. I'll be extremely active and in for the long haul. This team is terrible so a lot of rebuilding to do
-
Hey Everyone,
Name's Mike. I just claimed the "Wolf Pack" zombie team. Will be updating the team name/roster today.
Pretty flexible in terms of draft availability. (I'm on the East Coast, FWIW.)
Excited to get started.

Hi all, Ted here, just picked up one of the zombie teams. Haven't played ottoneu yet but will try to learn fast and keep up. I may also have one more owner who could pick up one of the two remaining teams.
Pretty open on draft windows after Sunday.
-
This upcoming Sunday the 3rd is pretty much the only day I'm unavailable. Monday nights also not great but can make it work
-
I will make any weekend day/time combo work. During the week I work M-F until 6p PST and would prefer something after that during the week. I realize that's late for the East Coasters, so if the group needs to start a little earlier during the week, I could probably do 430p or 5p PST start on a Th or Fri. Depending on how busy it is at work, I may be able to do double duty.
-
I will find a way to make any date work. I don't have many slots to fill.
