• I have a lot of terrific young arms. Looking for a deeper offense but trades come in many forms. I am open to anything if I feel it helps me.

  MLBRaleigh on November 10, 2019 9:59 PM

• Always looking to make a deal.

  MLBRaleigh on November 10, 2019 9:57 PM

• FYI - you have to allocate all of your Arb dollars; otherwise none of them count. Personally, I don’t like the rule, but it is what it is

  Rodents of Unusual Size on November 9, 2019 9:34 PM

• One week to go. Four teams still have to complete their arbitration allocations. Looking forward to the off-season. The Monkeys are open for business!

  Rodents of Unusual Size on November 7, 2019 7:48 AM

• Weather anyone else participates in the Arb. or not Monkeys & Shoopys time at the top is just about over.

  MLBRaleigh on October 22, 2019 10:20 PM

• I also think everyone has to participate in Arbitration. This process is what makes this league work for years as it’s the mechanism by which players salaries match their performance over time. It is hard to complain that Shoopy and I dominate the league, and then not take the time to adjust values and keep the overall league healthy. This has been a great group of owners and we’ve started a good league, so I hope everyone can participate.

  Rodents of Unusual Size on October 21, 2019 9:29 AM

• Just a reminder that you have to use ALL your arbitration money otherwise NONE of your money will be applied to any team.

  Proletariat Stars on October 18, 2019 3:59 PM

• Thanks for sharing Monkeys. Arbitration should now be live.

  Proletariat Stars on October 15, 2019 11:00 AM

• Great arbitration article here: https://fantasy.fangraphs.com/2019-ottoneu-arbitration-targets/

  Rodents of Unusual Size on October 15, 2019 9:30 AM

• 10 days!!!

  MLBRaleigh on October 5, 2019 6:00 PM

• Just a note guys that Arbitration starts on October 15th

  Proletariat Stars on September 30, 2019 6:51 PM

  Swamp Donkeys on September 30, 2019 8:38 AM

• Thanks Shoopy. We had a good competition all year, and I feel fortunate to have won. Despite the trade drama, I also agree it’s a good group and hope everyone sticks around for next year. Thanks again for a great year - and looking forward to the off-season!

  Rodents of Unusual Size on September 29, 2019 8:32 PM

• Good year everyone. Congrats to you again Monkeys. Hope all the people new to the league this year stick around. Good group of guys I feel. Happy offseason everyone!

  Anaconda Cut on September 29, 2019 7:44 PM

• Just wondering how good a game Urquidy would have had to pitch last night to not get cut. Obviously six shutout inning of 3 hit ball didn't cut it.

  Sandlot Sharks on September 28, 2019 2:22 PM

• ZIPS ROSTER PURGE CONTINUES - akrzips continue their roster purge, as six players were sent packing as the regular season comes to a close. zips ownership wanted to get rid of the dead wood and identify a strong nucleus of players who will bring the zips back in to the playoffs and ultimately, a league championship.

  Swamp Donkeys on September 27, 2019 11:54 AM

• You are welcome. Here's a link from the message boards explaining it in case any one is interested: https://community.ottoneu.com/t/head-2-head-2-week-playoff-how-many-starts/6159

  Otto Who? on September 16, 2019 3:10 PM

• Thanks Otto

  Anaconda Cut on September 16, 2019 3:02 PM

• No, for the playoffs, it resets after each week, but no carryover (i.e. if you only use 8 starts in Week One, that start you didn't use does not carry over to Week Two).

  Otto Who? on September 16, 2019 2:51 PM

• So 9 starts for a 2 week matchup?

  Anaconda Cut on September 16, 2019 2:25 PM

• Yea that's rough. Not over yet though KC.

  Anaconda Cut on September 14, 2019 1:26 PM

• Brault (minus 67) plus Lucchesi (minus 29) equal end of playoff hopes for KC. Bad night.

  Sandlot Sharks on September 14, 2019 12:52 AM

• Nope.

  Proletariat Stars on September 10, 2019 11:21 AM

• Yep Proles, I did win the round for the working class. And as my reward I will be fed to Shoopy's Jaws of Death. Do the workers ever really win?

  Sandlot Sharks on September 9, 2019 1:19 PM

• KC, its looking like you are going to win the working class championship finals.

  Proletariat Stars on September 6, 2019 5:47 PM

• My assumption is that we would just move to the $50 tier.

  Proletariat Stars on September 6, 2019 5:41 PM

• How much we talking?

  MLBRaleigh on September 5, 2019 9:37 PM

• my thoughts for starting in this league was that it might make people (me included) pay closer attention and give shoopy and monkeys a run for their money.

  Swamp Donkeys on September 5, 2019 8:15 PM

• I agree with Otto. I might be up for a money league, but it would seem best to start that from the beginning. I'll also make one prediction that player prices for prospects won't be as high in that new money league as they are here.

  Rodents of Unusual Size on September 5, 2019 5:33 PM

• I'd suggest starting a separate league & sending invitations to everyone here first. Those interested can accept and then that league can start from scratch with a first auction draft so everyone is on a level playing field at the start of a money league. Here, you have teams in different places where decisions were made about rebuilding, pushing for the playoffs, etc. while not contemplating a change in the league to a money league.

  Otto Who? on September 5, 2019 2:21 PM

• It's bad enough being beaten to death by Shoopy and trounced by the Monkeys without having to pay them for doing it. No thanks.

  Sandlot Sharks on September 5, 2019 12:39 PM

• I'm up for it. Either option.

  Anaconda Cut on September 5, 2019 11:37 AM

• Zips vote yes.

  Swamp Donkeys on September 5, 2019 11:37 AM

• lets take a vote then.... WHO IS WILLING TO PLAY FOR MONEY IN THIS LEAGUE?

  Swamp Donkeys on September 5, 2019 11:36 AM

• Looks like I would have the ability to change that. I am open to it, but I wouldn't want to lose to many GMs if they aren't willing. We could start a second league at a higher tier for those willing.

  Proletariat Stars on September 4, 2019 12:27 PM

• since things have settled down and it seems that dozier is a committed owner, does anyone want to make this a money league?

  Swamp Donkeys on September 3, 2019 2:07 PM

• i thought us losers got to play in some kind of consolation round? or is it sorry, not sorry?

  Swamp Donkeys on September 3, 2019 8:52 AM

• Well, that was a quiet trade deadline

  Rodents of Unusual Size on September 1, 2019 8:44 AM

• I have a few offers out to some of you playoff teams.

  MLBRaleigh on August 31, 2019 2:37 PM

• No one looking to upgrade prior to the postseason beginning Monday? Trade deadline is tonight?

  MLBRaleigh on August 31, 2019 2:36 PM

• ah. i meant with niv....

  Swamp Donkeys on August 30, 2019 8:56 PM

• I think we just did? :)

  Proletariat Stars on August 30, 2019 11:41 AM

• thanks, comrade. is that something which needs to be addressed?

  Swamp Donkeys on August 29, 2019 9:02 AM

• His points as an opener will not count.

  Proletariat Stars on August 28, 2019 5:13 PM

• this may be answered somewhere, but what happens if a reliever is an opener and you start him as a reliever?

  Swamp Donkeys on August 28, 2019 4:48 PM

• oh no you wont, monkees!!!! HA!!!!
