Can't wait to bid too much money on guys that have great first week!
-
Opening Day is finally here! Best of luck to everyone this season. Keep the lineups up to date, the trade blocks moving, and the auctions bidding crazy.
-
15 minute warning to the draft-
-
If I'm not there on time today please don't wait as I'll just fill out roster after auction. I only have a few spots anyway.
-
Reminder draft is at 8pm on Sunday- daylight savings time far as I can tell.
-
Is that 8 pm EDT for the auction on Sunday?

REMINDER- draft is this Sunday at 8pm EST. Tons of money available in this draft- get your cheat sheets and rankings organized!
-
Lockout is over- the FA signing fest to begin. Just announce Freeman to the Braves already!
-
I’m good for the 27th

works for me
-
I've tentatively updated the draft date to March 27th, 8PM EST- please let the group know ASAP if this will be an issue.
-
March 27 is good. I will be late to the draft. Would prefer 8pm to minimize my lateness.
-
27th works for me, I think it could be fun to do it earlier. Just throwing that out there. Then we can start trading again.

good any day or time
-
Everyone's roster is legal and salary caps are met. Now it's on to the draft. My preference is to be closer to opening day, especially if the lockout postpones the season and FA signings so we can adjust as needed. Weekends, I feel, are typically the best time- would Sunday March 27th work for everyone? That would be the last weekend before the season (hopefully) starts. Would evening work for everyone? Start at 7 or 8pm EST?
-
Last day for keepers! Make sure to get your cuts done and trades accepted by EOD.
-
Tomorrow is last day for keepers- make sure to get rosters legal and dump any players you don't want to carry for the season!
-
any date and time ok
-
Dick Mountain checking in, I cannot do 3/10, 3/15, 3/16. Anything else I can make work.

3/6 I can only do afternoon and 3/12 I can only do evening Pacific. Other than that I'm open.
-
Dates that won't work for me-
2/20-2/22, 2/25-2/26, 3/4-3/5
-
We also need to start looking at dates for the draft and need 100% participation and confirmation of a date- are there any weekends/dates that do NOT work for people. Once we eliminate some times, we can start looking at dates that will work. Please respond only with dates that will NOT work for you.
-
Keeper Deadline is next week- Feb 15th! Make sure to get final cuts in by that time and under the cap/roster limits. Niv has made it clear he is not extending the keeper deadline, so all cuts made after the 15th will incur cap penalties for the season.
-
REMINDER- Monday is the last day to renew your team before it is automatically listed as abandoned. Please make sure to get paid up ASAP.
-
Another reminder to get renewals in- 1 week to go!
-
REMINDER- don't forget to renew your dues by Jan 31. If you don't renew by the end of the month, your team will be marked abandoned by the system. Ottoneu has also said they will extend the keeper deadline due to Feb 15 due to the player lockout.
-
Not to mention, a great name for the sequel to Brokeback Mountain.

Haha thanks. Rich Hill is one of my fav baseballs stories ever. I signed him early and decided to dedicate my team name to him. I probably cut bait on him sooner than I should have this year. Gotta love an 80 grade uncle Charlie.

I also got at least 1 trade offer a day for Acuna during the 2018 offseason. Anyone have rejected trades they missed big on?
-
To get some trade buzz going I wanted to look back at some trades that weren't made by me. My favorite is one I offered back in 2017. Gerrit Cole, Joe Ross, Tyler Glasnow, and Hunter Renfroe for Madison Bumgarner. At the time, it was a very reasonable deal. Cole was still in PIT and had a 4.25 ERA; Ross had shown glimpses throughout the season; Glasnow was a top ranked prospect with a 7 ERA; and Renfroe was a high K machine with HR power. Bumgarner was still a beast, and would be for another 3

I have a spot in the Centaurs league open if anyone is interested. It's ottoneu classic like this one with the same rules. It's a pretty competitive and active league.

Changes can still be made until Sunday, but it looks like arbitration is all done with 100% participation. Let's get the trade blocks updated so we can see some action right out of the gate. We'll start looking at draft dates in the new year, season doesn't start until the end of April, so we'll aim for beginning of that month for possible dates. Reminder that you'll need to be under the cap and roster requirements before draft day, whenever that will be.
-
Welcome to the league! Once you knock arbitration out, only Batting Around will be left. Let's get trade blocks updated, we'll work on the draft date in a couple of weeks to set it before the season.
-
Hi, all. I’m a friend of Dick Mountain (that’s a very internet sentence). I’m looking forward to being in this league and hopefully steering thus squad out of the basement. I’ll be sure to complete arbitration before the deadline.
-
If anyone has a recommendation, I'd be open to changing the league name before the beginning of the season. We're not quite Newbies anymore, and the league description still says a beginner's league.
-
Bravos are World Series champions! Baseball offseason is upon us- hopefully the CBA gets worked up quickly and there's no stoppage. Reminder to get arbitration done- we have a little under two weeks left and only a couple of teams need to get their picks in. If anyone knows someone wanting to play, we still have a team open.
-
Arbitration begins today and runs for a month. As a reminder- you can only allocate $3 to a team, and you must allocate at least $1 to every team and all of your money. That last part is important because if you don't, none of your money will be allocated to any teams.
-
Batting around was able to rally at the end to catch me, very nicely done. Congrats on the 'ship

Congrats Dick Mountain and Nolando! Dick Mountain built a great team, could have gone either way.
-
Soggy & Shady has requested to be abandoned. If you know of anyone interested in joining the league, please reach out to them. If you also plan on leaving the league, please let us know.
-
Congrats to batting around, Mountain, and Nolando!
-
If any teams know they will not be playing next year, please post on this board or message myself or Batting Around. If you are not yet sure, please continue to participate as you normally would. Salaries will be updated by the system on 10/7 and arbitration begins 10/15. I'll send out the reminder for arbitration but let's make sure to get to 100% this year.
-
Congrats to Batting Around on winning the league! Valiant effort from Dick Mountain to take second, and Aaron Nolanado fends off the competition to take third. Great season guys!
