I'll be there!
-
Looks like all teams except the Werthquake have logged in this week so hopefully we have close to 100% of teams today. Good luck to everybody!
-
A reminder that our draft is tomorrow! Hopefully everyone is able to make it, but if not let me know if you’d like me to add a proxy drafter as co-manager.
-
Awesome news. Ok, I've locked in the draft for Sunday, March 28 at 6pm Eastern Time.
-
I can totally read, I swear. March 28th is fine for me too. :P
-
March 28 at 6pm works for me. Looking forward to it.

I have another draft starting at 730pm EST on Sunday, but I can swing it if absolutely necessary.
-
And FYI - we have 192 open roster spots across the league. If we move efficiently with nominations for auction, it should be about 2-2.25 hours total needed for the draft.
-
Welcome aboard, Wolf Pack! We have a full crew once again so I'd like to get a draft scheduled. With three continents represented it's already looking impossible to accommodate everyone, but we have a time - Sunday March 28 6pm Eastern Time - that works for 8 of 9 respondents. Drew, I know this is likely early morning your time... could you and anyone else let me know if it 100% can't work? I don't know that we will find a more suitable alternate time, but we may be able to explore proxies.
-
Welcome, Wolf Pack!
-
Thanks. I'm in Toronto. Rays fan though.

Welcome! Thanks for joining. Where are you located? We’ve got owners in pretty much every time zone in this league

Hi All, sorry got a little slammed with work. It looks like Taxi Squad didn't get renewed, so will need a new owner. Hoping to do that before locking in a draft, so if anyone knows anyone who might be interested let me know.
-
Happy draft season all. This has been a great league to learn Ottoneu and hopefully we can keep a full slate of active teams this year. Also, we should see the beginning of the Mariners return to relevance with the rise of Kelenic to the big leagues. 🙏🙏🙏
-
Today is the day - make your cuts now or carry a heap of extra salary into the draft.
-
Final weekend to make penalty-free cuts this off-season. And don’t forget to complete the Doodle so we have your input in draft availability.
-
Smashers made allocations and hasn't missed the drop deadline, so hopefully just enjoying the offseason. I'm dropping a link to a doodle below to help schedule the draft. We have a lot of time zones to coordinate, so there are a ton of options. Please try to complete this week and I'll schedule a draft next Monday once we're past the drop deadline and everyone has renewed their team (don't forget to renew your teams!): https://doodle.com/poll/2afcx2p97ty74puz?utm_source=poll&utm_medium=l
-
Smashers owner hasn’t been active since Nov. Have they committed to this season?
-
Quick reminder that this is the final week before cuts are due on January 31. Rosters should be under 40 players and $400 (or $400 - $1 for every empty roster spot) in order to be valid heading into auction. I'll also get a doodle out this week to gauge draft availability. The season starts April 1 this year.
-
Hey all, I was a little MIA over the holidays but am starting to look at keepers/drops ahead of the January 31 deadline. It does look like we have a new team opening (helpfully named OPEN TEAM) - if anyone knows of someone looking for a new league or wanting to try ottoneu, let me know!
-
Willing to consider any offers on Bogaerts, Grandal
-
welcome to the league! j
-
Hello all, looking forward to playing the coming season with everyone and making some trades!
-
Last reminder that arbitration ends tomorrow. Three teams with active managers still need to allocate their $ - try to do so today if you can! Thanks.
-
Couple of quick reminders: 1. Arbitration ends this Saturday, so be sure to add your $ before then. 2. We're still looking for two new managers to take over Drewville and the team aptly named No Owner. I posted on the forum (https://community.ottoneu.com/t/two-available-teams-in-league-724-20-5x5/8145) so feel free to send that around to anyone who might be interested in joining. This started as a beginner's league and is still a welcoming landing spot for folks new to Ottoneu.
-
Looking for two new owners for 2021 if you know of anyone looking to join an ottoneu league. Would be great to have new folks on board before arbitration ends next month.
-
I have two $75 teams and it's hard for me to concentrate on a tram with no financial gain.
Sorry I know it sounds crazy. But I'm out
-
Congrats to Ty Cobb! Took the lead at the beginning of September and held on to it pretty easily down the stretch. As per the league record book, 100.5 points is the third highest season total in league history.
//
Arbitration begins October 15; my understanding is that it's just the same as any other season. Let me know ASAP if you don't plan on continuing next season, and good luck to those with IRL teams in the playoffs. With my Nationals out, I'm going to be pulling for the Twins.
-
Knew I let Tatis go for too little! My budget is already maxed and I have had 11 pitchers go on the DL... not packing it in yet, but I'm definitely looking forward to 2021.
-
I'll be happy if this team finishes middle of the pack. But I might have some saves for sale down the stretch.....
-
Sitting in first place with $40 in cap space STILL! Must be nice!
-
That's the way it is in all my leagues.
In a 60 game season you can't wait around for someone to come off a 10 game IL.
25% OF The season is gone already.
Good Luck everyone.
🥺
-
These bidding wars are crazy. Love an active league! $13 for a RP two years removed from a 22.50 ERA? Can't hate the strategy when the winning team is sitting in first, but never thought I'd see Rosenthal even worth $1 again.
-
Best of luck to all of us.
-
Play ball! Good luck everyone!
-
I've honestly been quite pessimistic that a season would happen this year... But here we are! Niv posted an update on how this will impact ottoneu below. I recommend everyone take a look as we gear up for the short season. https://community.ottoneu.com/t/coronavirus-update-pt-3-short-season-details/7580
-
Yes Drewville logged in but he only has 16 players.
At least I won't come in last.
But since we have time maybe we can do the Draft all over again.
-
Hi All, we've reached 8 total votes on the rule change survey. All 8 were for removing the customized rule and following the ottoneu default on in-season bids. So let's consider the rule abolished, and keep our fingers crossed things clear up enough for this season to happen.
-
See link for a place to vote on the rule: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/JC285R6
We don't have a mechanism or league constitution for these, so let's require a 2/3 majority (8 votes) to change to help ensure that rules don't change too frequently.
-
Hey sorry, so I have been slammed with work due to this COVID thing while trying to isolate with a one year old. I've seen these messages but didn't have a chance to reply. I agree that this situation is my fault for not communicating, so I'm going to move Newcomb back to Smashers. As for the rule, I have no skin in the game since I didn't introduce it and obviously struggle to enforce it properly. With baseball on indefinite pause, this is as good a time as any to vote on it.
-
I'll play under any rules, it doesn't matter as long as going forward everyone plays under the same rules.
-
I also don’t see why we can’t play standard Ottoneu rules which would simpler for everyone. And can we do something about Drewville who has clearly quit?
-
Yea honestly maybe we should have more arguments, at least then we'd be talking about baseball...
-
It doesn't matter since baseball is out till July or August.
-
I honestly didn't mean to cause an argument but was really trying to iterate in the spirit of fairness this should be communicated to new owners up front. It is a house rule that goes against the software and the official rule V(d) also states: "Teams are allowed to bid such that they would go over roster or cap limits if they win the auction. If they do win the auction, they will have to get under roster and cap limits before they can set their lineups, make trades, or bid on other auctio
-
I didn't realize the acquisitions were made by new owners. In that case we could allow it for now. But at least from now on the rule is known. I'm in favor of the rule. The ottoneu software does not enforce it but the official rules state "At no time shall a team willingly go over roster and salary cap limits. If a team knowingly does this, they will face penalties at the discretion of their league's commissioner."
If you want to acquire a player you just have to make sure you have roo
-
Personally I don't like the rule because it means I would have to drop a player before I know whether i won the bidding.
-
I hate to get involved with political arguments but I don't think it's fair for a new owner to have to agree to an unwritten rule. Let him keep Newcomb and apply the rule going forward if we vote to keep it
-
Yep, still hate this rule and see no benefit of it. The system set up by Ottoneu works as is. Would like to see us vote this rule out. Also, on Newcomb, since the new owner did not know why don't we reauction Newcomb?
