• Happy Opening Day. Baseball is back!

  Dancin’ Homers on March 27, 2025 12:30 PM

• Happy draft day! See y'all tonight at 8 PM ET.

• The worst part of this Gerrit Cole news for me is that I can’t even cut him to recoup $28 to use in the draft.

  Whirling Darvishes on March 10, 2025 10:01 AM

• I hear that; Mondays are a no-go for me for the same reason. I'm sure we can find you a proxy drafter if you don't want to go full-co-manager; let me know if you need a hand with that.

  Was The Ginkel There? on February 12, 2025 5:11 PM

• Yeah sorry, I was having trouble planning that far out right now. I'll do my best to be there for the draft but I have DND every Wednesday. Honestly, I didn't fill it out because I was busy on practically every single slot, so it might be time for me to recruit a co-manager.

  Uecker's Brat Boys on February 12, 2025 3:15 PM

• Alright, with everyone but Uecker responding, I'm calling it: League draft is set for March 12. One-Eighty said we can draft without him (and his $5 of cap space), so we have the night of the 7th as a backup.
  
  If anyone would be helped greatly by moving this half an hour, or absolutely can't make this time, let me know. Otherwise, I'll catch y'all next month!

  Was The Ginkel There? on February 7, 2025 6:48 PM

• Thanks to everyone for renewing and making their keeper cuts!
  
  I've set up a Doodle to start figuring out draft times: https://doodle.com/meeting/participate/id/bkB0QQYa Hopefully we can make one of these 15 options work, but if not, we'll start looking at other options. Please make sure your responding name includes your Ottoneu username, your team name, or another clear identification. Be well!

• I'm glad to have you here, Homers! Welcome to the league

  Cambridge Corgis on January 26, 2025 9:31 AM

• Greetings, League of Nations. I've claimed this team and will renew this weekend. I'm a veteran fantasy baseball player, but new-ish to Ottoneu. I dipped my toe in the past, but now I'd like to give it another go. Your league seems solid. About me: I ran my own Roto league for the last decade and had 8 top 3 finishes, including one win. That league folded due to one-third of the league dropping out due to time/life, and I couldn't replace them all. So, to scratch this fantasy itch, here I am!

  Dancin’ Homers on January 24, 2025 9:13 AM

• Alright, looks like most everyone has renewed.
  
  We still need a replacement for Toronto/Eggman, though -- please ask around for a potential manager if you haven't already. It'd be great to get them in before the trade deadline, and to start figuring out a draft time. Thanks as always!

  Was The Ginkel There? on January 24, 2025 7:57 AM

• I don’t know whether to applaud the audacity or to judge them for not changing it to something cooler

  Cambridge Corgis on January 19, 2025 10:49 AM

• Somebody joined Toronto, changed the team name, and peaced out. ¯_(ツ)_/¯ If anyone has a manager, please reach out!

  Was The Ginkel There? on January 19, 2025 10:09 AM

• (And last, but not least, if you're interested in moving a top-line 1B or 3B please let me know :D)

  Was The Ginkel There? on January 12, 2025 10:00 AM

• Not yet. I'll put it on the abandoned teams list if we don't have anyone by Friday, but please drop me a line if you have any prospects.
  
  Also, a quick reminder to renew your team by January 31 for the five of y'all (plus Toronto) who still need to.

  Was The Ginkel There? on January 12, 2025 9:58 AM

• Do we have any leads on replacing Toronto?

  Big Lake Owls on January 11, 2025 9:22 PM

• Hey, y'all! Sorry for going MIA; life has been a lot recently. I should still be good to commish, but would definitely appreciate any help in finding a new manager for Toronto. Please DM me if you have any candidates! And keep this Winter Meetings trade bonanza we've got going...

  Was The Ginkel There? on December 19, 2024 10:03 PM

• Where are we at with replacing Toronto?

  One-Eighty by Sandberg on December 17, 2024 2:23 PM

• Thanks for herding cats to get arbitration done Brice! Sincerely, one of the cats.

  Whirling Darvishes on November 15, 2024 9:13 AM

• Thanks to everyone for arbitrating! I think we're probably going to need a replacement for Toronto, so let me know if you have any candidates, and if you're planning to pass on next season, it'd be great to know earlier rather than later.
  
  Otherwise, don't forget to renew your team before January and let the trades commence! Drop me a line if you're looking to swap some players.

  Was The Ginkel There? on November 15, 2024 9:12 AM

• Arbitration period is half-over! Please start working on your arb if you haven't already, and let us know if you won't be back for next season. (Feel free to start renewing your teams, as well!)

  Was The Ginkel There? on October 29, 2024 7:31 AM

• I'll be back for another year.

  Big Lake Owls on October 3, 2024 1:49 PM

• Looking forward to another year of keeping 12th place warm! Rebuild is on the way!

  Don’t Have Vlad, Now I’m Sad on October 1, 2024 7:37 PM

• Thanks to everyone for joining us this season! Best of luck to those of y'all with teams in the actual MLB playoffs (hi, Kara).
  
  As always, if you're not returning for 2025, it's greatly appreciated to let us know sooner rather than later, and if you can stick around for arbitration that's even more fantastic. Have a good one!

  Was The Ginkel There? on October 1, 2024 7:11 PM

• Open to win-now trades, if anybody's interested in Parades, Sproat, Wetherholt, etc.

  Was The Ginkel There? on August 28, 2024 6:02 PM

• I had something similar happen a couple days after this -- guessing it may be related to this issue: https://community.ottoneu.com/t/offensive-stats-missing-from-8-7-24/14476/3
  
  I'd say feel free to flag it on the Ottoneu boards if you come across it again.

  Was The Ginkel There? on August 11, 2024 10:46 AM

• That’s weird, but I don’t remember that lineup reset issue ever happening to me

  Cambridge Corgis on August 7, 2024 1:07 PM

• Realizing I may have been unclear, players I added were still rostered but on the bench, but for example, Gerrit Cole and Royce Lewis were pulled out of the starting lineup put back into IL slots. I haven’t seen something like that before.

  Whirling Darvishes on August 6, 2024 12:21 PM

• Am I the only one who had my lineup reset to a lineup from the beginning of the season this morning (minus players no longer on the roster)?

  Whirling Darvishes on August 6, 2024 12:18 PM

• Where were all these sellers a week ago 😂

  Was The Ginkel There? on July 17, 2024 7:11 PM

• I recommend plugging in another name that makes no sense with the original joke, putting a question mark at the end, and calling it a day.

  Whirling Darvishes on June 12, 2024 11:06 AM

• Now I need to figure out a new team name, huh?

  Don’t Have Vlad, Now I’m Sad on June 12, 2024 11:03 AM

• Wouldn't mind moving Salas, Wade, Rodon, or possibly Paredes for win-now pieces before the 12th, if anyone's interested. Drop me a line.

  Was The Ginkel There? on June 9, 2024 8:47 PM

• Good luck this season, y'all!

  Was The Ginkel There? on March 20, 2024 7:59 AM

• Some real cap comedy going on over here this morning. All I wanted to do was add Miller as a closer play…

  Big Lake Owls on March 9, 2024 1:03 PM

• Same here! Looking forward to seeing all of y'all on Tuesday, March 5, at 9 PM ET.

  Was The Ginkel There? on March 3, 2024 9:11 PM

• I sure am excited to draft later this week on Tuesday, March 5 at 9 PM ET

  Cambridge Corgis on March 3, 2024 5:56 PM

• Alrighty, looks like the only time that's feasible for everyone is 9 PM ET on Tuesday, March 5. I talked with kleborp offline and he confirmed he can make that, as well.
  
  If anyone is unable to make that work, *speak now* or forever hold your peace. Otherwise, I'll lock that in tomorrow. Thanks, y'all!

  Was The Ginkel There? on February 13, 2024 12:42 PM

• Fantastic! We should be good to go for 2024, then.
  
  It looks like no weekend date works for more than nine of the current owners, but because I'm a magnanimous commissioner, I'll take one more crack at the schedule before we go for the slow draft: https://doodle.com/meeting/participate/id/b6Y7A1La
  
  If you could fill out the poll above by next Tuesday or so, that would be great. Please make sure either your team name or Ottoneu username is in your response line. Thanks!

  Was The Ginkel There? on February 8, 2024 8:38 PM

• If there is a night for the draft that everyone but me is free I can figure my own schedule out or grab a friend to draft for me, and they'd probably be better at it anyways. I can't seem to find star player Jeromy Burnitz every year when I draft...

  Uecker's Brat Boys on February 8, 2024 11:59 AM

• Filled out the poll, too.

  Uecker's Brat Boys on February 8, 2024 11:56 AM

• IT WORKED

  Uecker's Brat Boys on February 8, 2024 11:50 AM

• Still waiting on Uecker to renew; I've pinged him to ask what I can do to help. Once we have our slate of managers locked in, we can move forward on figuring out the draft.

  Was The Ginkel There? on February 8, 2024 7:07 AM

• …so where are we at with things?

  One-Eighty by Sandberg on February 8, 2024 12:16 AM

• that does remind me, the third probably doesn't work for me anymore, so I've updated to show that. Maybe we're too spread out in time zones for this to be feasible, but I will have decent weeknight availability

  Cambridge Corgis on February 2, 2024 9:11 PM

• Otherwise, the slow draft's probably going to be our best option -- though I'm not going to worry about locking anything down until we've been able to get Big Lake and Uecker's payments processed.
  
  In the meanwhile, though, fill out the Doodle if you haven't yet: https://doodle.com/meeting/participate/id/e931zQPb

  Was The Ginkel There? on February 2, 2024 8:30 PM

• Fellas, y'all've had three weeks to speak up if you didn't like the slow draft. You haven't even filled out the Doodle, kleborp 🙃
  
  Right now, the only time in the poll that currently works for everyone is the evening of Sunday the 3rd. If that works for the remaining three managers (Ryan/Danzig just let me know offline he can make that time), or someone else wants to put in the legwork to find a time everyone can make, we'll go for that.

  Was The Ginkel There? on February 2, 2024 8:30 PM

• I don’t love the idea of a slow auction draft. I’d prefer a scheduled draft if at all possible.

  Whirling Darvishes on February 2, 2024 4:12 PM

• an auction slow draft doesnt make much sense. theres gotta be some date in march that works for everybody

  Praise The Tylord on February 2, 2024 4:06 PM

• We still thinking slow draft? If so...when do we want to start? Mid to late Feb?

  One-Eighty by Sandberg on February 2, 2024 4:04 PM

• Thanks, Uecker! I'm sure Niv is handling a lot right now, so as long as everyone's paid during the grace period (before Ottoneu auto-kicks owners out) we should be good. Looks like everyone's rosters are legal (now that I've finally pulled the trigger on my cuts), which is the important thing.
  
  We've also found a new manager for Ira's team--thanks to bumphreyhogart for helping and to prmurray95 for hopping in! We'll set the slow draft start date, likely early March, once everyone's p
