Also-- happy to say that Free Wily has come on as a co-commish for the league!
-
We found a manager for Marron Mierda. Still looking for InjuryFree.
-
Just a few more days for arbitration! Remember that you need to allocate all of your money for any of it to count.
PS: the search for another two owners continues...
-
Howdy leaguemates, just under 2 weeks to go in arbitration! Is anyone on Ottoneu Slack? If so, could someone post about our 2 open teams on there?
-
Arbitration has started! You can allocate your money by hitting "Arbitration" in the menu bar.
Without objection, we'll switch to the new 5MiLB system. I'll add debuting players to Ottoneu rosters as soon as I can; it'll then be up to owners to make any necessary cuts.
We are also still looking for another couple of owners if anyone comes to mind.
-
Welcome to the league!!
-
Thanks for having me in the league! I was about to start arbitration and realized that I haven't yet introduced myself. I have a year of ottoneu experience and won a championship in a now defunct league. My goal is to be competitive every season including the upcoming one, so right now I'm assessing how good the team I'm taking over is. Thanks again, and I'm always up for trade discussion.
-
Update: I have found a new owner for Baseballs R Hard, but am still looking for owners for Marron Mierda and InjuryFree.
-
In addition to Baseballs R Hard, we'll also be needing a new owner for Marron Mierda and likely InjuryFree as well (hasn't logged on since July). Feel free to reach out to anyone you know.
-
Update from Niv here: https://bit.ly/2oJgpyY ... Two things: (#1) I think we should adopt Free Wily's suggestion re: 5MiLB call-ups and have them be automatic. I'll add debuting players to Ottoneu rosters as soon as I can, and it'll then be up to owners to drop players if necessary. Does this sound good? (#2) We are looking for an owner to take the Baseballs R Hard team. If you know of anyone who might be interested, feel free to reach out.
-
Thanks folks! This was a fun season, and a tight race like last year for 2nd and 3rd. Look forward to doing it again next year.
-
Yes, congrats to Free Wily! The 26th best points season in all of Ottoneu this season. And thanks everyone for another fun year. Offseason activities start soon -- arbitration begins on October 15 -- so there isn't much downtime. Hopefully everyone will be back for next year, but if not, please let me know ASAP.
-
Congrats on the championship Free Wily! Dominant from beginning to end. Nice work.
-
Kyle Lewis has been called up by Bobby Ayala's Circle Beard.
-
Actually Sean Murphy debuted in May and I missed it, so he's now a free agent.
-
5MiLB player Sean Murphy has been called up by Bobby Ayala's Circle Beard.
-
Hats for Bats has called up Brusdar Graterol from his 5MiLB roster.
-
Please add Nick Solak from my MiLB roster.
-
Looks like Dustin May is being called up. I'll take him into my MLB roster, commish.
Thanks!
-
Former 5MiLB'er Michel Baez is now a free agent.

Relevant to the Skaggs issue: https://community.ottoneu.com/t/tyler-skaggs-rip/5887

Certainly open the changing the rules over the offseason. Free Wily's idea could be good. Cutting a 5MiLB player doesn't involve a cap hit, meaning I'd have to manually remove the penalty if someone decided to drop a recent call-up. But that wouldn't be much of a problem I don't think. Re: Niv, I think he's said that he prefers 5MiLB stuff be left to individual leagues. Not sure if that's still his position.
-
Surprised this isn’t handled better by Ottoneu in general. Definitely seems like something Niv should be able to help with. At the very least they should be able to code something up to post to the league board when a restricted player gets his first at bat or first inning.
-
The only drawback I can see is that it puts a lot of undue onus on the commissioner to pay attention to callups and then put onto rosters in a timely fashion, but I think that's already the case with our current system. Maybe in this system, we can all help the commish out when we see a restricted player get called up. It would match real MLB a bit more, and would avoid this situation of cut MiLB players.
-
Could work like this: as soon as the manager or commish notices a player gets called up, the notification will go out to add the MiLBer to the active roster, by league thread or DM. This will happen as soon as (a) someone notifies the commish of the callup and (b) the commish has a second to make the transaction. This should occur within a couple days :). From there, standard Ottoneu rules apply - the manager will have to cut a player (including the MiLBer, if chosen) if over limits.
-
Howdy folks: I know this issue doesn't directly involve me, but a couple thoughts. 1, as Sad Bat True said, it's hard to change now because this is the way we've been doing it for a couple years. 2, maybe we can revisit how we do the call-up from MiLB5 this coming offseason? I wonder if the "certain amount of days or cut" could be improved just by having the player added to the manager's roster. Ottoneu already forces roster moves if the roster construction isn't in compliance.
-
I had this happen to me last week without warning also fwiw, so Baseballs R Hard is not alone!
-
I give reminders when I notice a player has been called up, which I didn't in this case. I've cut players before when an owner didn't notice a debut in time, so was remaining consistent here. I recommend just bookmarking the roster sheet; the list of current 5MiLB players is also under "Restricted Players" on the league homepage (some of the team names are out of date there). I do wish there was a way to get an automatic alert about a debut, but I don't know of a system like that unfor
-
Why would the newest member of the league not get a slight reminder on his Dylan Cease callup? Other returning managers got reminders and we were all cool with it. Especially since this message board doesn’t have a pin or anything where the sheet is easily accessible or anything. I think Baseballs R Hard should be given a little leniency in this situation instead of just losing Cease’s rights.
-
Note: Dylan Cease -- formerly on the Baseballs R Hard roster -- is now a free agent.
-
With no objections, I've removed the cap penalty for Skaggs. Exceptions for similar events will apply in the future. If something else like this happened earlier this season and I somehow missed it, let me know.
-
Note: Yu-Cheng Chang -- formerly on the Hats of Bats 5MiLB roster -- is now a free agent.
-
Agreed on Skaggs. Awful news
-
I agree
-
Agreed. Awful news.
-
Agree with the suggestion. There should be no penalty for a circumstance like this. Very unfortunate.
-
Agree for clearly extraordinary circumstances like this
-
I am open to allowing penalty-free cuts under extraordinary circumstances like a death if people support that.
-
I think Tyler Skaggs should be a penalty-free cut. Pretty unforseeable awful tragedy.
-
Willing to move Carlos Santana, Segura or Trea Turner
-
FIRE SALE!! I'm throwing in the towel for this year.
All players available, looking for future/keepable talent. I'll loan salary or whatever needs to be done.
-
Sorry missed his post!
-
Commish added Zack Collins and Bobby Bradley from my minors rosters as well
-
Hats for Bats has also called up Bobby Bradley.
-
Sorry! Added now
-
