Just so everyone is aware Jeters, EYBS, and myself have successfully negotiated a three team deal. First leg of the deal is between EYBS and myself which is currently under league review. Once processed, Jeters and I will trade the players I’ve received for Judge/Nola.
-
Stove is hot!!
-
Welcome to the league dude!
-
Welcome, dig the team name.
-
Welcome happy to have you aboard! Thriving and surviving is the name of game in Otto, best of luck
-
What’s up everybody thanks for having me! Sounds like you guys have a fun league from what I’ve heard. Looking forward to wheeling and dealing with you all. Go Giants
-
Sweetness let’s get him in here, thanks!
-
Let’s get him signed up!
-
I have a buddy that’s interested. solid baseball knowledge, great commish in my dynasty football league; only downside is he’s a giants fan
-
Any luck on finding a replacement manager? I feel like the longer it sits the harder it’ll be to get a new manager this season.
-
Keep it flowing gentlemen
-
Just cant help myself when I get that summer trade itch!
-
Some big names flyin' around in those trades. summer hot stove
-
Lol Hitless still plenty of time left!
-
If you hear a whistling go by today that’s just my team falling past you in the standings.
-
With that discussion out of the way, I’m looking for offers to move Arenado or JD Davis for a starting pitcher of similar quality. Bring out your traaaaaades.
-
Wow, just getting to this. Personally I don't see anything wrong with his bidding practices. As long as he can get his roster legal after winning a bid, then the rules are working. Having excess cash is an asset in this system and that's how you use it. and, just because someone else nominates a player they have no right to what they consider a "fair price", who's to say he wouldn't have nominated the player hours after.
-
Buehler and I are searching for someone, ideally we fill the spot in house. If anyone has any baseball friends that may want to join let us know!
-
So now that Scoreboard Porch has no manager… are we looking for someone to take over asap? If not what is to be done with the team the rest of the season?
-
Lol he stole my gem, Casey Schmitt is gonna be a fixture in the bay for years to come
-
The plan was to not invite him back next year but we've never had aggressive language like that on this board and I don't think anybody here is that type of person or wants that name calling in this environment.
-
Thanks for the input hitless and I agree with you for the most part. To me getting a low percentage owned player for a low price that you took the time to put up for auction is the great part of finding a gem. But the egregiousness in which scoreboard was bidding on players was absurd. To me it’s one thing to bid a lot on a player you got high on and put up for auction yourself but to be consistently swooping other auctions with bids 10 dollars over the closest bid is not good for the league.
-
Appreciate the perspective hitless and generally do agree. He wouldn't have been kicked without the aggro language.
-
I see Scoreboard Porch has been booted. I just wanted to add my perspective on the topic. While I am not a fan, this strategy has been used before in this league (maybe not to the level of egregiousness as Porch was doing). I personally am a “free market” kind of guy and would prefer to let the league police stuff like this using the rules outlined on the site. Overbidding like that isn’t sustainable and only takes one person to undercut them to completely crash their budget.
-
We don't appreciate that language Scoreboard, not in this league.
-
Lolol later meat
-
Auctions are one of my favorite parts of the Otto experience. Spamming bids negates that experience.
-
Hey jerk. Just because I have lots of teams does not mean I will be out of league, although with people like you in it can certainly be understood why I might. The fact you decided to put this message on here because you don't like auction results is embarrassing for you and you should work on lowering your ego and go bushwack yourself
-
Please nobody get used to bidding like red October aka scoreboard Porch aka guy who has 30 Otto teams,he will be out of league come this offseason. hopefully normal non spam bidding will return when we get a fresh manager. many examples this year but the latest $14 bid on another managers auction of a guy like Casey Schmitt is simply unruly, gross and bad for future of this league. I like to think of us as a community with the league we have built and not a blip on someone’s fantasy spreadsheet.
-
Let's play Ball !
-
Happy Opening Day and good luck.
-
What will 2023 bring? Looking forward to seeing if Dragonflies can repeat, although the baseball gods have already decided to knock him down a peg losing a $20 Diaz. Modesto will see if he can once again be competitive with a stars and scrubs roster. New season, new look for Jeters and we'll see if the year of the rabbit will finally bear fruit for bushwackers 3 year rebuild. We have more new teams than ever with Vin, Red, and Jobu. Lets see if they can avoid a 10th, 11th, & 12th finish.
-
Great Draft everyone, thanks for being flexible. That marks 5 years now we've managed to make it work with all 12 teams live.

draft in about 3 hours, get ready folks!
-
I can hardly contain myself.
-
27th at 830 pm est works for me!
-
IT will work for me. Thx Beuhlers
-
Draft time set, we're doing 5:30 Pacific/8:30 Eastern Monday the 27th. Room will open at 5:15 and we'll look to kick off first nomination at 5:30. After a few messages that time has the most availability and we'll all know who blew out their UCL in the WBC.
-
Still haven't seen the 19th open up yet.... most likely won't so I'm going to have to select a time that doesn't work for everyone unfortunately. If anybody would like to edit their poll in the event things changed that would be appreciated but looking like i'm going to make an executive decision based on most votes here shortly.
-
I was about to settle on the 19th but believe it or not, that is the only day that is unavailable. Apparently Otto has a limit on how many leagues can draft per day. I’m going to keep checking the next few days and see if a spot opens up though.
-
Looks like 19th in early afternoon is good for everyone, 12 yes votes. Can you schedule?
-
Well I can actually do the 12th but the earliest @ 6:30pm PT if need be , since I have both of my drafts trying for this date I requested the evening off of the event just in case
