Anybody want Trout for a playoff push? I'll entertain all offers, and would be particularly interested in SP

We will be changing our name due to Wander Franco's absolute idiocy.

Oh merciless gods who subject my opposition to 10 days of stomping.
-
Reminder that this matchup lasts until July 23!
-
Potentially looking to sell soon - less interested in long-term prospects compared to proven values or imminent prospects. Feel free to send any offers my way!

Clueless Joes…Do you want to negotiate via messages, Slack, or do you just want offers?

Selling pitchers and anything else. Looking for concentrated value keepers over lotto tickets.

We’d love it if you did 😊

I need to change my name. I just checked my email and got myself.
-
Weirdly, I deep dived him this morning for my dynasty league that goes 500 prospects deep. I had to go double check it wasn't me.
-
Whoever is nominating 0% rostered Dominic Canzone, respect for finding this guy. Certainly he's on a bender. But also, if you need OF, ping me :)
-
I've apparently found the price point for pop-up starters
-
Just an FYI to everyone that there are still 60 spots left for 2023 OPL if anyone wants to play for cash prizes without joining another otto league.
-
Hi all, reminder that our draft is scheduled for THIS THURSDAY. I hope everyone can make it. If you can't make it, see if you can arrange a proxy -- a full draft room is really important to having a fair and competitive season. I'm really looking forward to it! And may the best team win in the WBC!
-
I missed the poll, but that date works well for me too -- thanks!
-
Typo of course: Thursday March ***23***
-
We have a draft date! Nice and close to Opening Day. Big thanks to those who may have to move some things around to make it, but sounds like we should all be there. Thursday March 22. I've got it set to 8 pm ET/5 pm PT. Looking forward to it!
-
Filled out when's good. I'd prefer as close to start of season as possible.

Drat, draft, you get it
-
Sorry, just voted. 23rd I already have another drat scheduled, but the 5th should be fine
-
All clear on that front then. 5 and 23 March are our early frontrunners for the draft. Please take the poll now so we can schedule a time and give people some time to work around any difficulties. https://whenisgood.net/ha7mkta

I prefer vote-off

I like the vote off, it's different.

We prefer vote off as well in fact it is one of the rules that drew us to the league.

Pro vote-off

I would prefer staying in vote-off. I like the different strategy it encourages

Thanks for setting it up - I'd be in favour of moving to allocation as well

Oh, and -- this is the time for any rule suggestions. The main one I would consider is moving from vote-off to allocation.

Hi all, here is a whenisgood for the draft. https://whenisgood.net/ha7mkta
Assume that any draft would be at 8 pm ET/5 pm PT. Maybe a Sunday draft would be 7 pm ET/4 pm PT.
We will aim for any opportunity possible to have 100% attendance, and then prioritize those with more spots/cap if there are a bunch of times only one person would miss.
-
Alright, thank you everybody for making your cuts and renewing teams. Couple fun trades too. I'll send out a Whenisgood soon regarding scheduling the draft. If people have big ideas about when the draft should be, feel free to shoot them over, but we'll have to leave it pretty open to find something that works for everyone.
-
FYI, I just accidentally set the draft day—I can’t set it back to “unscheduled” but you can ignore the current setting. We will have a survey to figure out the date. I’ll set the survey up after keep/cut. Also remember to renew your teams.
-
I like to give each player his own, personalized send off
-
And maybe do group cuts instead of one at a time 😊

Two weeks until cut deadline, folks. Check your rosters, think about trades, and be sure to get legal by 1/31 deadline. Make sure that you also renew your franchise.
-
Tools tab --> Calendar & Finances. January 31, 2023. We can make trades until that point. You MUST be legal at the keeper deadline. At that point I'll also reach out to schedule our 2023 draft :)
Update your blocks, I'll be happy to talk trades anytime between now and then.
-
When is our keeper deadline? Sometime in January?
-
Everyone get those votes in!
-
Yeah Feather, you definitely have a scary combo of top-end and prospects.
Reminder all that we have two weeks to the end of arbitration. Please, please complete vote-off before then! I'll try to send another reminder before Nov 14, when it ends.
To any Astros and Phillies fans -- best of luck! Definitely feel like it vindicates Phillies' move to complement an OK but incomplete group of stars with high-upside acquisitions.

I don't have super strong feelings about money league v. non-money league. Regarding engagement, I've had some down years, but I enjoyed being engaged throughout this season, and I'm planning to be back and hopefully make some noise next year.
-
Welcome! As I learned this year, H2H is definitely a different experience, but this league is great!
-
Hey. I grabbed this team. I've wanted to play H2H for a while. I'll set up my team stuff soon.

I prefer a non-money league, at least for next season. Since I went back to school, I make zero money so.
Two-week championship sounds good, but either case is fine for me.
Congratulations Balking Dead!!
-
I think league engagement has been great, but I’ll admit to being a bit unresponsive on trade requests. My busiest time of the year runs concurrent with the baseball season, so I’m very guilty of being a bit hit or miss. Either way, I’m in for whatever we want to do moving forward, love this league and I think we’ve got some good owners in it.
-
By the way, anyone else playing Six Picks? We can make a league group, or just follow me -- I'm hahiggins. https://ottoneu.fangraphs.com/sixpicks/addFriends
-
We can consider proposals for votes, such as the 2-week championship, during arbitration. Theoretically there could be some small effect to vote-off choices, I suppose, but it seems negligible enough that aligning the period with the arbitration window makes sense. The other possible adjustments include other modifications to playoff structure, 24 v. 48 hour window for trade completion, and vote-off versus allocation. See more here: https://ottoneu.fangraphs.com/rules.

Peons has been marked abandoned. Want to rope into the league? Now's the time.
I've been concerned about engagement at points, including reaching out to and replacing managers. However, it has generally trended in a positive direction and I haven't heard any direct complaints about engagement; please reach out if you're concerned.
You all know I love trading :) but I definitely found the trading environment more difficult this year with many teams jockeying for the bott

Thanks for the feedback Shaggers. I can attest to the lack of engagement as I was trying to make trades preparing for the playoffs there were owners who never replied and hadn’t checked their lineups in several days or in one case a few weeks. Non participating owners in H2H is terrible for the integrity of the league. Also I’ve been playing Ottoneu since 2012 and I’ve never seen a league having trouble replacing owners. Not a deal breaker either way. I just find money leagues more enjoyable.

I am open to either 1 or 2 weeks for the championship. I am not particularly interested in this being a money league, but it's not like I would leave if it became one. I didn't feel this league had engagement problems, and it may be challenging to find replacement managers for teams farther down the table in a vote-off league of it's a money league? I could be wrong about that
