-

-
:D @ Pham, he's an 80 grade prospect! Gotta hold out the faith! And Austin Martin is an eligible pick; pick moves to Mierda.
Sad Bat True is spot on.... use the "Players" function on the Ottoneu page. I would also search "MiLB" for the level (in the dropdown), and select "Free Agents Only". Another thing: any player on an MiLB roster should be highlighted in red in the search, since we uploaded all MiLB5 players onto the "restricted players" l
-
One of these days he’s going to come up and just be another overpaid guy on my team!!
-
How about Austin Martin? In Rookie ball for the Jays.
-
Yes, Pham has him on his Ottoneu roster. Good reminder for everyone to search for the player on this league page (set the level to "All" on the search page) before picking, in addition to checking that the player (a) isn't already on a 5MiLB roster and (b) hasn't appeared in any MLB game. Unskilled, you can make another pick before the deadline tonight.
-
Pham has him on the actual roster (he's called Wander Samuel Franco here)
-
I will start with Wander Franco (Does nobody have him? Don't see him in the spreadsheet)
-
Unskilled Laborers, you are up to start off our MiLB5!
-
As an additional note, we've decided to limit all transactions involving 5MiLB-eligible players during the snake draft. 5MiLB players can't be traded during this time, and 5MiLB-eligible players (those in the Ottoneu universe who have no MLB appearances) cannot be added to Ottoneu rosters. 5MiLB-eligible players who are dropped from Ottoneu rosters during the draft can't then be drafted onto a 5MiLB roster. This is to ensure that everyone chooses from a set pool of players during the draft.
-
***5MiLB DRAFT***: Now that the auction draft is done, we'll move onto the 5MiLB snake draft. The draft will start this ***Wednesday, March 3, at 12am***. You can find the draft order on the roster page (bit.ly/2C4NZVC). Unskilled Laborers is picking 1st and will have all of Wednesday to make that pick. Once that pick is made, Marron Mierda will have 24 hours to make a pick, and so on. Full draft rules are here: bit.ly/2sBH7eh ... Let us know if there are any questions! Looking forward.
-
Reminder that the draft is starting now!!
-
League mates. I won’t be able to make the draft Saturday. It’s all good though since I am pretty much capped out and my roster is pretty set. Good luck at the draft and I am looking forward to the season.
-
I would like to add Daniel Lynch and Nolan Jones to my MLB roster and drop Maximo Acosta from my MiLB roster
-
Awesome, thanks Sad Bat True. To be clear, any player who has not debuted in MLB yet in the Ottoneu universe is eligible... folks still can't roster an MiLB guy who is rostered on another team :) basically the rule change opens up players who were dropped from a roster, either MiLB5 or Ottoneu main roster.
-
In light of this discussion, we'll give everyone a *one-time* extension to make 5MiLB drops until **this Friday at 11:59pm Eastern time**. Please post here any players you'd like to drop. We will also be implementing the rule Free Wily mentioned earlier. Now "any player who has not debuted in MLB yet in the Ottoneu universe" will be eligible for 5MiLB rosters. The rules page will be updated accordingly.
-
I must say that I have forgotten in the past but kind of just accepted the situation as well. I am ambivalent to a solution to be honest; I'd defer to whatever is less work for everyone to maintain.
-
I’d also be ok with a one-time waiver for folks who forgot this time around!
Hats for Bats on

I'm with Wily here, I think. It'd be more work to manage, and I'm not actually convinced it would be less of a problem to remember/keep track of. I wouldn't be against giving Pham or anyone else a waiver to drop players between the 31st and the auction if that's not a hassle for the commissioners
-
I'll say my last peace and then I will be done with my arguments and I will let the cards fall where they may: It hurts that the MiLB site is off Ottoneu (not that it can be helped) but it's somewhat hard to get to as well. We see DEADLINE CUT PLAYERS BY JAN 31 and its in your face all the time and there's kinda no excuse. I'm sure I'm not the only one who has other leagues to deal with as well. If the vote falls against me that's fine, but it's always going to be hard for me to remember
-
My two cents: I'm very much against the ability to drop players mid-draft. I'm fine with trading MiLB players at anytime (not sure if this is even an issue). I would be fine with an MiLB cut deadline that is closer to the actual MiLB draft, rather than Jan 31, if somehow that helps, but at the same time it seems unnecessary to me. Speaking of which, when is our MiLB draft?
-
For 2) not to be an a-hole, but it's a dumb rule IMHO which is why I want to change it. Sure it mimics the MLB draft, but I don't miss out on players if I forget to make cuts by Jan 31 8for MLB, I just pay a steeper penalty. Also its different in that we have opportunities to add to our MLB squad all throughout the year, this is the only chance to add to our MiLB squad and it's kinda dumb to me that if I'm full but Torkleson fell for whatever reason I'd have to pass because I have a full farm
-
For point number 1) I totally get that, but also if someone missed the deadline and don't have a full roster they miss out on those players all-together. So I will miss out on a lot of good players. And yeah I forgot about that rule, not going to lie. I forgot last year too and was like "ah well that sucks. I don't like it but I missed", but this year I forgot again. Which is why I am now proposing we change it because I know I will always forget haha.
