icymi - keeper deadline moved back to 2/15 https://community.ottoneu.com/t/keeper-deadline-adjust-if-lockout-occurs/10611/4?u=nivshah

That is correct. After another year of interesting arb votes, trading season is open!
-
We have until the end of January to make penalty-free cuts right?
-
Six teams have yet to complete arbitration voting. Please do so before 11/15!
-
Thought this was a neat post capturing best practices for a positive and competitive league environment. As always, offseason is a good time to reconsider anything in league direction, rules, etc. https://fantasy.fangraphs.com/ottoneu-league-best-practices/
-
Thanks! Excited to be here!
-
Thanks y'all :) very hard fought season, felt good to be back to a full year. Reminder that vote-off arbitration begins Friday, Oct. 15. PLEASE file these votes! In the past we've had a few folks skip it but it is arguably the single most important action you can take as an owner! Also, welcome our new owner MR BLUE SHOES to Urbina Blight!

Congratulations to The Balking Dead! Almost pulled off a major upset in my first season, but it wasn’t meant to be. Had a blast being a part of this league and I already can’t wait for next season, thank you all for having me as a part of it!
-
Congrats Balking!
-
FYI to the teams in this 2-week finale: Your GS cap restarts at the end of the first week. So you have a first week cap of 10 and second week cap of 10, not a cap of 20 total. Everyone else -- start researching your vote-offs!
-
OK I did not mean to cut Lamet there so just going to add him back, FYI
-
Well, looks like Weeghman is going to be in. Good luck.

Just a little post-deadline update/reminder: The playoffs begin next week. At this point, the byes have been secured by our division winners, Yaong Star and Bobblehead. The Balking Dead, Bushrod Bombers and St. Clair Gorillas have clinched playoff spots but the fourth at-large seed/sixth overall spot is up in the air for either Weeghman's Whales or Peons.

I have a number of current value players (and some dollars to make things work) that I’m happy to trade. If anyone has FV assets to deal, let me know!

Hi all! Really sorry for my absence this year. A few things, both expected and unexpected, have kept me from giving HCML the same attention as in years past. I don't see that changing soon, so I'm going to drop out at the end of the season. I've had a blast in this league, but I don't want to drag it down as a deadbeat owner! I've gotten some trade offers, but I'm not going to make any trades; wouldn't be fair to the next guy. Thanks to all for some fun seasons. Hope to catch up down the line!
-
On that note, I'm open to trade almost any of my young guys (Lux, Luzardo, Barrero, Luciano, Gorman, Muller, others for the right price). Looking for pitching in return. Feel free to message me
-
One week to the trade deadline!
-
Three weeks to trade deadline -- fill out your trade blocks and work those phones! Playoffs will begin the second week of September.
-
I'm interested in getting trade season started a little early, in case anyone else is. I've got plenty of hitting and relievers as well as cap space to take on money. Mostly interested in SP b/c, like probably everyone else, my staff has been crushed by injuries, but interested in good value regardless of position, too.
-
@Clueless that just means you have all the best players on your team already 😂😂
-
Woof. That's rough. Don't remember building in any Mario Kart-style slingshot mods into this league ... but I guess we had to bring first place down to earth!
-
Welp.... TJ for May and Robert out 12-16 weeks... quite the day.
-
Is it bad that there are a lot of players being bid on that I have never heard of before?
-
Excellent piece, Balking! I sent it around to several friends.
-
Petition signed!
And I'll second Urbina, that's a great article!
-
Really fantastic article, Balking — so cool that you got to bring some light to Niv and the platform. I’ll be sending it to friends and family to prove that I’m not crazy after all!
Also, just signed the Gary Thorne petition! Love that guy
-
Signing! And, while we're at it, hope you all will read the article I've just written for the Post about Niv & Ottoneu. One of the clear lessons I learned reporting this was just how much the game is co-created among leaguemates, so thanks so much for making this as fun as it is! https://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/2021/04/13/ottoneu-fantasy-baseball-niv-shah/

Signed! Definitely like the idea - not an Orioles fan but definitely liked Thorne (also for his hockey commentary).

Just post here that you signed and I will donate in the HCML's name =). Thanks for listening.
-
And as a gesture of my gratitude I will donate $5 to the Nats Youth Baseball Academy for every extra signature it gets from the league.

Hi all,
As a win-starved Orioles fan, I'm a long time fan of Gary Thorne, who was eschewed from the broadcast booth for a cheaper option. As a favor, I would like to ask people to sign the following petition: https://www.change.org/p/baltimore-orioles-bring-gary-thorne-back-to-the-orioles-broadcast-booth?cs_tk=ArQS1VuKjekOR0BHdmAAAXicyyvNyQEABF8BvOWxD3Hs_yYXupN8XFqG-94%3D&utm_campaign=fa955e416f2f4463bc9e6eb4bcc16afc&utm_content=initial_v0_0_4&ut

Happy opening day!! I just missed putting Ryu into the lineups. Ugghhhh
-
Happy opening day eve! Don't forget to set your lineups (like I almost did). Looking forward to first month Betts and Bieber injuries!

Hey everyone, it's draft day! Psyched for tonight, see you there at 9 pm ET/6 pm PT.
-
Reminder: Draft Day is this Sunday!
-
That means 6 playoff teams, no 2-week matchups. The only thing I'm not sure about based on the feedback is how many matchups each team will receive per week this year. 6 voted for 2 and 4 voted for 1 -- not over the 2/3 threshold, but unclear what our precedent is since we did do 2 matchups last year. Does anyone feel strongly either way?
-
Alright, I've scheduled us for 3/7 at 9pm ET -- I know it's a bit harder for several folks than the 14th but it was the only with everyone free. We'll use the 14th as a backup.
Also, we got 10 responses on the rules survey. We will set a 2/3 standard for further rules changes, based on the 8 votes for that option. We will remain vote-off (6 to 4). We will move to 24 hr period after trades (7 to 3). We will keep 10 GS cap (6 votes for 10, 2 votes for 9, 2 votes for 8). Playoffs unch

Thanks for the input Brexit and TT. I just reached out to Clueless to see if we can get his answer. The 7th is currently the only date with no objections.
-
I can do either I dont have any plans.
-
Hi -- Very sorry for the delayed response. I can't do March 14. Any chance of doing March 7 instead?
-
Thanks! 14th would definitely be better for me if possible.

With 75% of owners reporting, we have two finalists: Sunday, March 7 and Sunday, March 14, both at 9 pm ET. Unless anyone cannot make it, I am going to schedule us for the later date. Speak up now if so! (Preferably by both messaging me and responding to the WhenIsGood.)
-
Sure, use code 5awizd4.
-
I voted earlier but is there a way to view the results?

We are down to two possible times, both on Sunday evenings. If you haven't taken the poll yet, check it out here: https://whenisgood.net/z47y8c2. I would like to get this scheduled ASAP so folks can block the time on their calendars.
-
And of course here's the link: https://whenisgood.net/z47y8c2
-
Only 6 responses in to the WhenIsGood to schedule our auction draft -- reply soon please! Looking like 9 pm ET is the best time so far, but up in the air whether a Sunday or weekday evening is better.
-
Alright, we've got 9 responses in on the league survey -- if you haven't taken it, go ahead -- we have some close decisions on a few items where we'd love everyone's feedback. And here is a WhenIsGood survey for scheduling the auction draft. I incorporated all feedback from the survey, so any gaps you see are where someone indicated they would not be able to attend. https://whenisgood.net/z47y8c2
-
Sorry for the late response. Done.
