Thanks for the kind words. The last time I looked at the globals, I was mid-30s. Best team I've ever had. They started off slow but after some player-only meetings in the clubhouse they started putting it all together. Until it is official, we're just taking it one day at a time and keep pushing forward.

I think it's safe to say congrats to Fezzik on a great championship season! Also currently in the top 20 on the global leaderboard across all Ottoneu Pts leagues so really nice job on building an awesome squad this year.
-
Open to any last minute deals, pretty open to discussing anything.
-
Trade deadline today
-
If anyone is looking to deal I could use an OF upgrade.
-
Sorry for any confusion - I must have fat fingered the time at some point. The draft is at 6:30 MDT.
-
Hey, just want to doublecheck the start time for Sunday: is it 6 or 6:30 MDT? You mentioned 6 in your message, but the start time on this page is 6:30.
-
Welcome new owner of Logan Squares, great to have a full league before heading into the auction!
-
Thanks for everyone's participation (100% of teams answered). The time that worked the best for the group was 4/3 at 6 PM MDT. I will set the auction for that time.
-
Hey Everyone - With the lockout now ended, I will be sending out a poll to figure out a draft time. Please reply by the EOD on Sunday. Look out for it in your email boxes.
-
A couple of quick updates - first, I don't anticipate any issues filling the remaining two spots. Since football is over I think fantasy baseball will start to heat up. Of course, that also depends on the lockout. On the issue of the lock out and our draft, my preference would be to wait until there is a resolution with the lockout to set a draft time. My assumption is when the lockout is settled, will still have 30+ days prior to the season beginning. Plenty of time to set a draft date.

Open to any deals before the deadline, big or small. Ideally would move a catcher or two but if not, won't be cutting guys like Perez and Realmuto.

Welcome to the league - glad to have you! Let me know if there is anything I can do for you.
-
welcome to the league!
-
Hey, I have a lot of good players on the block. I think in sum they're a little pricey, makes the roster cumbersome. So if anyone would like to add a Cole or Bryant type for a cheaper, lesser player, hit me up.

Welcome !! Maybe we can connect for a trade
-
Hello, my name's Tyler. I just claimed dugout wizards. Hope that's ok. Reading the below post- I can abandon it if someone here had dibs. Otherwise, I gotta make some trades y'all.
Been playing some version of fantasy for about 15 years. It is my first Otto points league though.

Somebody wants the 1st place team?! Actually, I've considered making that move in the past in another league, but I didn't. There's nothing in the rules against it. One could just abandon their current team and claim a different one in the same league.

Hey Everyone - One of the current managers has expressed interest in taking over one of the opening teams. This manager has not made any transactions or moves in the past month that would create a conflict of interest. Thinking through it, I don't believe there are any issues with such a move. However, I wanted to pose this question in case anyone had any concerns. If I don't hear back by tomorrow afternoon, I will go ahead and make the change (assuming the team doesn't get claimed)
-
As of this morning, we have 9 or 12 teams renewed for next year. One team is already open - they let me know a month ago they were leaving Ottoneu. Potentially we have two more open slots. If you know of anyone interested in one of those teams, please let me know. Otherwise I have little doubt they will get filled prior to draft time.
-
Four days remain to renew your team (for the few owners who have not yet). End of day on Saturday is your deadline. After that deadline, teams not renewed will be abandoned.
-
Thanks for the reminder! I just renewed.
-
I should also mention that renewals are due at the end of the month and that date won't change. Niv did mention there could be some changes that make this season look like 2020, if necessary, regarding league execution and expenses. I'll do my best to continue providing updates. Thanks to four of our owners who have already renewed!
-
Niv just posted that he will adjust the keeper deadline by January 24th if there is no sign of a resolution to the lockout.
-
I wouldn't call it a hole either. It is exploiting a loophole and it messes with the general economics of the game. It does not happen in every league, in my other current league it stopped when one owner drafted 30 players at the end of the season just to show how it wasn't a good policy.

It is a "hole" in the official rules. Yes it is "legal" but I think it is against the spirit of the rules. I have not seen it actually happen before in a decade of playing ottoneu. I would call it poor sportsmanship.

This is a very good point – it’s a hole in the Ottoneu rules that is exploited in all 4 of the leagues I have been in and has been done in this league for the past 5 seasons. What ends up happening is after the last day, all cap penalties are dropped. If as a league, we want to make a rule against this, we certainly can. If there is interest, let me know.
-
I had a question about the end-of-season FA acquisitions, Bryzzo. Can you clarify on what is acceptable in this league? I know it varies.
"One thing I am curious about - shouldn't these last FA acquisitions still necessitate valid rosters? I understand caps and roster spots are about to become irrelevant, but these acquisitions happened in-season and should, I think, follow in-season rules. No?"
-
Arbitration has two weeks remaining. I plan to provide a couple of more reminders before the deadline on November 14th. Let me know if you have any questions.
-
Congratz Dugout Wizzards.
-
Thank you! It was a fun season. Looking forward to the off-season transactions.

Congrats Dugout Wizards! Well done!

Congrats Dugout Wizards!

A big congrats to Dugout Wizzards! Winning an Ottoneu league is a tough endeavor with all of the good managers. We have arbitration starting on 10/15 and lasting a month. Everyone should plan on participating in arbitration. If you are a manager that is not planning on coming back. Please message me so I can start looking for a replacement. After arbitration, offseason trading opens up which will take us to cut day on 1/31.
-
Yes, I've had players in the lineup benched on multiple days.
-
I haven't noticed anything unusual in that department. Auto bench is moving players out of my lineup if they're not in their team's MLB lineup for that day... which is what I expect it to do. Everyone else is staying put. Are you seeing something different from that?
-
Is anyone else seeing their lineups change, such as players in a position moved to the bench? It's happening a lot and hard to play with that going on.
-
Using up those innings realllll quick though
-
Damn, great day Los Bravos De Los Unidos putting up 281.9 pts!!!
-
Let's play ball y'all!
-
Hey Everyone - Thanks for the draft tonight. Dugout Wizards was the last one left tonight but for some reason the draft shutoff. I am going to figure out how to add Edwin Rios to his team. Just an FYI in case you try to pick him up. He is on Dugout Wizards team, even if he shows as a FA. Thanks!
-
Thanks! See y’all then.
-
8:30 PM EDT. The draft date/time is posted at the top of the league page.
-
What’s the start time?
