At least one team currently cannot field a full lineup. We have lots of roster movement going on, but this should be remedied as soon as possible. All teams should have enough active MLB players to fill out a full starting lineup at all times -- it's literally the first rule in the book (1a). In part, this prevents teams eliminated after this week from loading up on MiLB. Happy trading! https://ottoneu.fangraphs.com/rules

And, sorry, by next week I mean playoffs begin *AFTER NEXT WEEK* on Monday, August 31. That is also the TRADE DEADLINE, so everyone please update your block. Buyers and sellers commence your commerce!

That's right, it's the STRETCH RUN! (!??!?) Bizarro season means the playoffs start *next week* for 6 lucky teams. Records matter first, and then points. Division leaders will advance with a bye (call them A and B). The following 4 teams *irrespective of division* will be ordered 1-4 and will face one another in a wild card round: 1v4, 2v3. The winner of 1v4 will face B and the winner of 2v3 will face A. The winners of those will face one another in a two-week championship!

How do the 6 team playoffs work in this league? Is it 2 division winners plus 4 wild cards, top 3 from each division, or top 6 overall?

Anyone looking to move an OF for some pitching?

Regarding the season: If season's canceled, the current thinking from up top is that the offseason proceeds as usual. Cross that bridge when we get to it, etc. https://community.ottoneu.com/t/how-to-handle-salary-increases-and-arbitration-in-the-case-of-no-2020-mlb-season/7372/6 Regarding trades: I love it! And I encourage everyone to update their blocks so we can get good information and useful offers flowing.

Odds we finish this season?? Also, looking to move a SS or 3B. Looking for C, RP, and would swap OF and SP, too. Hit me up

Good question! But since we're a H2H league, there are *no positional caps.* [per rules] d. There are no positional or IP caps for H2H leagues. H2H leagues have an option for a per week SP GS cap, which can be configured by the league commissioner There *is* a continued 10 GS cap per matchup, including only 10 for longer matchups (like the first one). 6 teams are set to make the playoffs, so that will take the final 3 weeks of the season (9/6-27?). Trading deadline is the same, August 31.

Sorry I may have forgotten if it was discussed, but is there/what is the cap this season on games per position?

Ladies and gentlemen, start your engines... it's Opening Day, better late than never! As a reminder, we have chosen to have two matchups simultaneously as part of the H2H format to work from a bigger sample. With only 60 games, each game is worth 2.7x usual -- so be sure to set your lineups. May the best team win!
