Reminder that the keeper deadline is tonight at 11:59pm Eastern!
-
Draft time should work for me as well. Thanks.
-
Thanks Commish; that time should work for me at least.
-
OK, I've gone ahead and set the draft for **March 20 at 8:30pm Eastern**. We may be able to knock it all out that evening. Please let me or Free Wily know asap if this time does not work for you.
-
Forgot to mention I will be completely unavailable March 17-19
-
19th or 20th works best for me. Also may be good to go a bit on the later side to see how things shake out for the upcoming season
-
I could maybe make the 20th work, but it would have to be after 7 pm CST. Maybe 7:30 CST
-
5-6 might be tough for me, but I could probably make time. 19-20 would be great though
-
OK, how about March 19-20? If not that, what about March 5-6?
-
I won’t be able to do that weekend.
-
Hey everyone, Free Wily and I are looking to schedule the auction draft now. We are currently thinking the **weekend of March 12-13.** I think it'd likely be easiest to start in the late morning/early afternoon of the 12th. We can then finish up the auction if need be on the 13th. Do these dates work for everyone?
-
Spicy trades abound as the calendar flips to February!
-
Looks like everyone renewed, thanks folks. We'll set a draft date shortly
-
Thanks, Sad Bat True. Important note is the deadline to renew your team is still 1/31. Most of the league still needs to renew - please make sure to renew in the next couple weeks!
-
Important: Note that the keeper deadline is now **February 15** instead of January 31 (see: https://community.ottoneu.com/t/keeper-deadline-adjust-if-lockout-occurs/10611/4?u=nivshah).
-
Re: the lockout, see this note from Niv: https://community.ottoneu.com/t/keeper-deadline-adjust-if-lockout-occurs/10611/3?u=nz314
-
Not hearing any objections I've gone ahead and changed it to 24 hours. (Also, ignore the Feb 1 draft date - we'll figure out an actual date later in the winter.)
-
Agreed that 24 is more reasonable.
-
Yeah, I'm in favor of speeding that up. 48 hours does seem a tad excessive.
-
Yeah, I think that’d be an improvement
-
Sounds good to me, Sad Bat True. I think it'll play the biggest role in-season, too, where I believe the 24-hour process time matters more.
-
Hey all, great to see the hot stove heating up! Quick proposal: at the moment, it takes 48 hours for trades to be processed. I was thinking we could lower this to 24 hours to speed things up. Any objections to that?
-
Ok, All MiLB players have been added to their respective rosters. The only exception was Kristian Robinson, who hasn't played for a couple years and may have been removed from the Ottoneu player universe. Please check your teams and make sure I did the transfer correctly.
-
Thanks everyone for completing arb! The vote for MiLB has come up in, and there was a majority that selected ending MiLB. The method of changing over will be adding the MiLB players to active rosters. I hope to complete this by EOD today. Happy trading and let me know if you have questions.
-
(Though I might suggest holding off on trades until the situation with 5MiLB rosters is finalized.)
-
That concludes arbitration! Thanks all for participating. I believe the trading window is now back open...
-
Friendly reminder, please fill out the survey link for MiLB rosters by 11/15:

Howdy folks, happy arbitration season. It looks like nearly all of you have participated in arb; all arb is due and funal by 11/15.
I made a survey for the issue of MiLB5, please respond here by 11/15 as well:
https://forms.gle/mvYMQyvyeiwXATrg8
-
Sorry for the delay! I like the 5 man MiLB but I won't be overly upset if we ditch it
-
Another quick reminder: you need to allocate between $1-3 to every team.
-
Arbitration starts today! Remember you need to allocate all of your money to have any of it count.
-
Co-owners are permitted!
-
Question: do we have any open teams at the moment OR is it possible to have a co-owner?
-
I like it, but it’s the only time I’ve ever used it, so I’m feeling fairly agnostic. My only wish is that we can delay putting these guys on our active rosters until closer to the start of the season to get a feel for where guys are going to be next season. A hot prospect going to AAA is going to mean something different than a guy getting sent to Low-A as far as active roster construction and that wasn’t the case with the MiLB rosters.
-
I kind of like the 5milb. My vote would be to keep it.
-
I’m fine ditching and adding the guys to active rosters.

I say get rid of it
-
So I want to hear from y'all: how do you like MiLB5 rosters? Should we keep running them? There are a few options of how to move away from MiLB5 if we choose to do so, so I hope we can chat about it and then maybe put it up for a vote this offseason.
-
Thanks y'all, although it's been a tight race each of the last 2 years. I want to revisit the MiLB5 draft/rosters. I've read stuff from Niv, creator of Ottoneu, that MiLB5 (or similar) systems are not good for Ottoneu - namely that they artificially deflate salaries. I also wonder if they hurt competitive balance. In addition, and I totally recognize this is somewhat self-serving, I can't compete in OPL next year if we have an active MiLB5. I did well this year, and would like to compete again.
-
Congrats to Wily (3 straight wow), Sad, and Hats. Thanks league for another fun season. Glad we got in 162. Next year we have to end Wily's reign!
-
By the way, if you *don't* plan on returning next year, please post here or let either Wily or I know privately. Hope to see everyone back!
-
It’s really Wily’s world out here and we’re just living in it

Thanks Moose and Sad Bat True. Really could have gone either way. Great season, y'all, look forward to running it back.
-
Congratulations to the champ, Free Wily! Kudos too to the other podium finishers, Sad and Hats. Well done folks.
-
Also, see here for some offseason dates: https://community.ottoneu.com/t/end-of-the-2021-baseball-season-megathread/10153
-
Already said this to Wily privately, but a big congrats to him on defending his title! It was a really fun season and a nail biter at the end for both first and third. Thanks to everyone for being so engaged this year!
-
In the midst of a tight Ottoneu playoff battle, Oneil Cruz (strangely) made his debut tonight. I added him to my roster.
-
5MiLB player Edward Cabrera debuted for Miami last week and has been added to Hats for Bats.
-
Hi all. Pardon the digression from our usual business, but I am working on starting up a Ottoneu Fantasy Football league that will be similar in format to this one ($50 buy in, H2H). If anyone is interested, let me know!
-
Pour one out for Brady!
