I just put money on Tebow so Jimmy and Mattie couldn't say I am forgetting to do my arbitration. :P
-
Lol. Very surprised to see Tebow racking up arbitration! Welcome to the league Arlen!

Hello all. 80 grade league name.
-
Welcome endlessgonzales !
-
But Tebow could be in the majors this year!
-
Could whomever made the hilarious Tebow allocation please remember to change that before arb ends?
-
Trader Jose's trade block has been updated!

Lol yeah, I finally got ahold of Petit after months of trying to contact him (no response to e-mails, etc.) and his response was "I'm out for ottoneu". Oh well, at least now I know for sure. I messaged a guy who said he has 3 people total that are looking to all join a league together, if that falls through I'll check out r/findaleague -- thanks for the suggestion!
-
So was Petit Center not willing to do arb? ;-) Any luck finding a replacement? Maybe r/findaleague?

Also, I've heard back from all but one of the current owners about arbitration. Just a heads up (and if you've spoken to me about arbitration, no worries, this shouldn't end up applying to you) but not taking part in arbitration and not communicating may lead to getting booted from the league. We need active, participating owners. If you have a legitimate reason you choose to abstain from arbitration, that's fine I guess, but it needs to be communicated to me.
-
So, we're gonna stick with the $20 level for this upcoming season, but we'll re-address it again next year and see if there's enough interest in moving to $50.
-
I couldn’t get that survey link to work but I’m 100% in favor of moving to the $50 fee level with prizes
-
Both Halifax Highlanders and Arlen Longhorns are available. I've posted on the Ottoneu Community message board and the slack channel looking for interested managers to take them over, and I'm monitoring the "Available Owners" page, but if you know anyone who would be interested in joining our league please let me know :)
-
Lol yeah, he used that as his Players Weekend name too (as D. Mountain, since they made him censor it slightly)
-
Obviously I am a Dodgers fan...did anyone catch Muncy's post game calling Rich Hill "Dick Mountain"? I may have a new team name....

I would be down but think if we did this we might need to come up with a scale based on final standings where the teams that finished at the top give more than those at the bottom since not all teams are equal and many of us didn't actually build our teams in the first iteration.

Everyone please respond to this survey: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSc2kPPMpiG_iWzgG6HrmdMTb5QdM-Q9JWjdF72ps8yjdKKUyg/viewform?usp=sf_link

Actually looks like the administrative fees for the $50 league aren't as bad as I thought I remembered them being, so we'd probably want to go through Ottoneu if we were to move to a prize tier.
-
I would be fine with moving up to a prize tier, or just adding a side-pool prize that I administer so we can avoid some of the Ottoneu administrative fees. It would need to be a unanimous decision though.
-
I have a friend who may be interested. I also want to know if anyone would be interested in going up to the $50 tier so that there is a prize for more than just 1st place so everyone isn't selling to 2 or 3 teams at the top?
-
Did you try the message board on Slack for someone to take over a team? Seems to be lots of hits there - also wouldn't want to lose out on getting HH's arb dollars spread around!

Halifax Highlanders is available, if anyone would like to change teams and take that over, or if anyone has a friend/coworker/whatever that would like to try out Ottoneu. Please let me know in the next 2-3 days if you have any interest or know someone who has interest, if I haven't heard anything by then I'll start reaching out to prospective new owners so that we have someone take over in time to do their arbitration. https://ottoneu.fangraphs.com/891/team?team=6543

Reminder: Arbitration has begun! You can change your arb selections up until the deadline, so feel free to just get some tentative allocations out there so you can get a feel for the system. Feel free to e-mail me or post any questions you have here!
-
Automatic salary increases have been applied. FYI, any player w/MLB service has had their base salary increase by $2, and players w/out MLB service had their salary increase by $1. Arbitration begins soon!
-
Additionally any loans from this season are automatically reset (loans only ever last in-season)
-
There are no cap penalties for previously cut players for the new season. You will have $400 minus the total value of your roster to use to bid on new players. Any player not rostered at draft time can be put up for auction at any price for the new season.
-
Do players cut after arbitration hit against your cap for half their salary, or is everything cleared prior to the draft? Similarly, are cut players back to $1 before the season, or at their value when they were cut?

Another public service announcement - make sure you put the Max $3 on Stanton Ovation :)

Also, public service announcement: There is NO benefit to cutting a player right now until after arbitration ends. Even if you intend to cut a player, they might manage to be a magnet to draw some arbitration dollars and prevent those dollars from going towards another player on your team. PLEASE play smart and do not cut any players until after arbitration ends.
-
Arbitration totals are updated live as things happen, but my understanding is that they can also be changed as often as you want until the deadline, so if you see that everyone else is putting their money on a player you could move your money off that player and spread it out somewhere else (or vice versa). I believe it doesn't say who submitted the money, but it does show the money on a player
-
Are all arbitration dollars added at the same time or when one person submits their arbitration does that take place so everyone can see?
-
November 14th is the last day of arbitration, so we have one full month for arbitration
-
when does arbitration end?
-
Congrats Stanton! Looking forward to the offseason

Thanks for a great season all! We've got Arbitration coming up starting October 15th -- let me know if you have any questions about how arbitration works, I'll be happy to explain it as best I can (it's my first ottoneu arbitration as well) and I can ask someone more knowledgeable on any questions that I don't know the answer to!

I don't veto trades absent obvious collusion (except now lol). I figure owners are free to burn their teams to the ground ... sometimes I think I know a trade is so lopsided and then ... it turns out not so much.

Should’ve broken your veto chastity on a trade of greater import. Rather inconsequential little deal, that one is.

for the record I exercised my first veto on prinicple

Guys - there is a pungent odor in denmark and it isn't the team PO but rather Dodger Dawgs - we came to terms in principle on a deal and he reneged and went and did a similar deal with PO. DD is free to perate how they wish but to me it was shady.
