Very strong chance I move Biggio, Gurriel, or both in the next couple days. Talking to several different teams, and primarily looking for SP or CI

Thanks and welcome to the league
-
New owner here. I deleted most of the previous owners rants. Open to trades.
-
Well I posted on owners wanted but if you know anyone, let us know. We password protected the league to avoid bad apples
-
Lmao. Yeah. That made no sense at all. That team needs to make trades because it doesn't look to be a competitor atm
-
Well that was pretty ridiculous... at least the new owner likely won't have a stance of "don't send me offer for anyone who isn't on my trade list" while having an empty list
-
Again. Sorry to everyone. That will not be tolerated
-
The league is now private. If anyone knows a normal guy who wants to join, let me or musial know..
-
I'm find an owner
-
Omg. I just posted not to do that stuff. Wth
-
Sorry y’all, I just booted the owner of Baby Jesus 1 for clearly not wanting to care about rules and general decorum. Let’s try and get the spot filled ASAP.
-
Thank you guys for letting me join. I've been playing Ottoneu for many years and am committed to being responsive. Look forward to playing with you.

Also, who is on Slack and not in the league channel? DM your name if you want in @KP/Kenny Powers
-
Hey took over a really sweet team. GL man
-
Also, I would like to introduce a new owner, luckystrikes (slack helper/admin) is taking over Big Gulps.
-
Yeah. Let's keep this board nice and friendly guys. Its in the ottoneu rules to do that and nobody wants a bad league. Keep it clean and friendly everyone
-
Not sure why you feel the need to generalize and drag people through the mud on the league board just because you get offers for guys not on your block. The block is just a starting point...or place for people to post their future cuts. Either way, owners value players differently so don’t get your pannies in a wad when you don’t feel an offer is fair.

Thanks comish!
-
I might wait until after draft day now, league thinks I'm trading top / great for over paid chumps!
-
I wasn't saying I would never make a trade! But bro ham, come on now
-
BabyJesus- you honestly should not say you will never trade a guy because you could get a really good deal otherwise (sometimes.... Most the time no, but, why not open up to some good negotiations?)
-
What offer did I not get Baby Jesus? Or the other commish?
-
Lol pro tip!? You better come in first place Ma. Know it all! Frfr
-
Pro tip: you aren't going win if aren't willing to listen to moving any and every player you have
-
Just because commiss didn't get the trade he wanted, doesn't mean I'm just gonna trade any players! Smh
-
And look, I wanted that util player for those scrubs that won't amount to anything! Lol
-
Ok guys, please stop asking me to trade players not on my list!
-
He is hard to guage. I'm passing for now
-
If anyone still believes in Yoenis Cespedes feel free to send me an offer
-
without necessarily vetoing
-
I am in another league where a new owner literally gave up 3,000 projected points for Trout, because he was dead set on having Trout, even at a $80 salary. To each their own...I did not veto...but I thought the new owner should understand why I thought it was bad for league, especially because it was with league champ, who is still way over cap.
-
This league handles a lot of things right, it seems. Calling out awful trades in the messaging with necessarily vetoing is a good way to handle things, especially if owners are new to Otto.
-
I've seen way worse and am not one to veto just because I dont like it.
-
Not you, the other guy.
-
Je suis un newbie aussi
-
It's not like any of the guys sideburns got back are elite, but all but Perez is a cut
-
C'mon guys. Ripping off the newbies??
-
For reference, see league rules, specifically #5. https://ottoneu.fangraphs.com/726/settings
-
Been in too many leagues that are inactive and they get stale and fall apart.
-
Update your trade blocks (leave blank if you want) and respond to messages. Let's stay active and fun everyone. I would say at least decline an offer within a few days
-
Hey everyone, need to update your trade blocks and respond to messages to keep this league fun
-
Hi everyone just wanted to let you know that Cody Bellinger and or Ronald Acuna are the block for a cheaper solid bat and an Elite SP, thankyou.
-
Also, before trading prospects, check with different site so see if they are good or not for this format. For example, Adell >> Madrigal. Lastly, there is a free tool that will be available soon that predicts individual player values for each league. Here is last year's version. Check back for the new one which usually comes out in November. https://community.ottoneu.com/t/ottoneu-surplus-calculator-2019/4373
-
Thanks everyone for getting arbitration done. This is my only league where it 100% complete
>>>Trading starts Friday. New guys to Ottoneu, ask questions if unsure. This is a dynasty league but there is a salary cap. So, cheap studs are way more valuable sometimes than expensive guys. For example, I would probably not trade my $13 Ketle Marte for $61 Betts. Just be sure to think trade offer through, lopsided trades can seriously damper the league and set you back for
-
Man, my basement team got hit with max arb $ so far....thanks a lot guys!!
-
If by experienced you mean a maniac, then sure I'm experienced! Just over a week left in arbitration - we need 4 more teams to spread the arb $$$ around.
-
I have one more thing. Sorry for all the banter. The Musical Suspects is also a commish, so he can help out too. I believe he has the record for most leagues :), so he is very experienced.
-
I have one other thing. Since I am now the new Commish, I added a few "rules" to the league. Just pet peeves we all dealt with in other leagues that will not be tolerated. So, click the LEAGUE SETTINGS tab above and let me know if there is anything you disagree with. Anyone can reach me on SLACK @kennypowers. That is the fastest and easiest way to get a hold of me. I made a private channel, so if you are on SLACK, DM me and I will add you.
-
That's it. Party on (btw, hate using my team as an example but have to illustrate my point and don't want to pick on another manager)
-
Not trying to be a dictator by any means, just trying to get everyone up to speed. If you are putting $ on guys who are already overpriced, that helps that team because they will just cut that guy and have no extra $$$ put on their keepers, which is bad for everyone.
Same thing for trading, please don't fall into the newbie trap of trading for guys who are obvious cuts to managers who have been playing this for at least 3 years now.
