Trade block updated, let the hot stove begin!

Um, usually the team that took first place is the one that gets the most arb dollars assigned to it, just saying. (also just saying its not too late to change your arb dollars--hint hint--)
-
Good idea! Thanks!

I sent out e-mails in the wee hours of the morning to the owners who hadn't done arb yet, hopefully that'll help. I'll probably seek arbitration proxies on slack tomorrow if I haven't heard back from those owners

🤷♂️ arbitration been rough in my other league too. Stupid football.

Arbitration season! Is everyone coming back this year?
-
Congrats, commish. Here's to a fun offseason!
-
Thanks all! Looking forward to seeing how arbitration goes and then getting up to some wheeling and dealing this offseason :D
-
Congrats on the chip Grayson! Quite a stretch run for the top teams. Thanks for another fun season everyone!
-
Well done all and special congrats to Grayson for winning it all!

Would anyone like to trade for Luis Castillo? I'd like to trade Luis Castillo.

He doesn't need SP eligibility, you can put him in an SP spot even though he doesn't have eligibility. Innings limit is 1500 IP, though it's not a hard cap so the day that you go over it you still get credit for all of the innings you pitch on that day (then you don't get any more innings on subsequent days)
-
Sweet, thanks Grayson. No worries, he should gain SP eligibility soon I’m guessing - what’s the innings threshold on Ottoneu?

pinch hit home run, more often it'll work against you
-
Additionally, for position players, it uses up a full game towards your 162 at that position if the player makes any appearance in the game. So if you have a guy in your lineup who comes in and pinch hits for 1 at bat, that still counts towards your games played at that position. That's why I typically have the "Eject from lineup if not in starting lineup" button enabled which will auto-bench a player if they're not in the team's starting lineup. While it's possible someone comes in an

will not receive any of his points)
-
For position players, if a player doesn't have to be starting in your lineup at the same position they're starting the game (ie. if Jon Berti starts at 3B in an actual game but is eligible at 2B, 3B, SS, OF, you can start him at ANY of those spots in your ottoneu lineup). HOWEVER, for pitchers, the role they play in the game DOES have to match how you start them in your ottoneu lineup (ie. if Michael King enters the game in relief, but you have him in a starting pitcher spot in your lineup, you
-
you get 162 games at each position over the course of an entire season. (810 OF games since there are 5 OF positions) there are obv more than 162 days in which games are played, so you can be somewhat selective in picking the best players at their optimal positions. Similarly you have a limited # of innings for pitching, which is a combined pool to which both starting pitchers and relief pitchers contribute.

Here's a message I sent someone who was new in my other league who was asking for clarification on some things, it might be helpful here as well. It's a long one, so it'll be spread across the next three posts

Right, that's what I was saying. He had him in RP slot when he started, so no points.

No, any pitcher can get points if they’re out in the slot they played in during the game. If you’d had him in an SP slot, he would have earned points yesterday
-
He’s only RP eligible - guess I should’ve known that when I drafted him…

Looks like he is listed as RP only, so I can see why you had him there but yea... thats why.

He started and you had him in a RP slot. Wont accumulate points that way.

Even though I only had $6 I had fun with it! I even got to bully cap out of a player!
-
Congrats Waterford Rivermen on being the Day 1 champ of the league! And thanks everyone for a fun draft last night!
-
I got my six silver dollars all shined up and ready!
-
LET'S GO!!!
-
I hope everybody's ready and excited for tonight's draft!

Now that Keeper Deadline is passed, let's lock in Tuesday, March 19th @ 8pm Eastern as our auction date/time! (We can adjust that start time if needed, let me know ASAP if 8pm is a dealbreaker of a time for you, but I imagine that should work reasonably well)
-
Reminder to renew your teams if you haven't done so already! The new payment provider, Paydala, is kind of obnoxious (it requires knowing your location to pay), but I just went through the process and it wasn't as bad as I had expected
-
Nearly everyone has participated in the Doodle poll for draft scheduling, so I moved to round two. Please add your availabilities to this new one, keeping in mind the 'if need be option'. We only had two days that were possible and we didn't have any days that worked for everyone without 'if need be'. Thanks! https://doodle.com/meeting/participate/id/aQA76mLa

I've created a doodle for scheduling the draft. Please fill out your availability so we can get a date set. Note that there is a 'if need be option'. Time is set for 8:00 pm Eastern for ease of polling. If the time needs to be adjusted we can figure that out later. MLB Opening Day is March 28th.

Happy New Year everyone! I was pretty checked out during December with some IRL stuff and fantasy football in full swing, but now that fantasy football's over let's get some wheeling and dealing going on the trade market before we hit our Keeper Deadline!
-
If anyone wants to join a $75 dynasty league let me know. Bare Naked Train Wreck and I run another league with 3 openings. 1 team is actually pretty good. They were in first place the whole year until the final 4 weeks or so and finished in 4th. However, if interested message me. I'll send you the teams in question and you can take a look.
-
Happy Arbitration season! If anyone has any questions or needs clarification on how arbitration works, please feel free to DM me! I'm a huge nerd on the nuances of the way the Ottoneu handles the economics of the game, so I'm happy to provide any insight I can. If you're considering dropping out of the league, please let me know ASAP so I can find a replacement while we're still in arbitration!
-
Thanks again all! Bring on trade season!
-
Congrats Mayhem, hell of a season!
-
Congratulations Project Mayhem! An incredibly well-earned victory. Looking forward to seeing what this offseason brings us :D
-
Congratulations Mayhem! I thought I was going to chase you down in the final weeks, but your roster was too filthy. Great season everyone and I look forward to seeing the 96 trades (63 of which involving Mayhem) in the off-season.
-
Ha! I was just telling Kirby's Nightmare that my only regret this season was not hitting my usual 60-man roster size. There's always next year!
-
Congrats to the 60-Day IL King himself, Matty Mayhem. Well earned!
-
Not gonna' lie, I really wanted to win this league this year and I'm happy to have it. Thanks for another great season all! It was a pretty close race to the finish and I really wasn't comfortable until this weekend. Whose turn next!
-
Congratulations to Project Mayhem on a great season!
