folks, it's draft season, if you can't make yourself available to do a draft in the weeks leading up to the season, then please let us know that you'll be fine w/auto-nominating, & you'll fill your roster out after the draft at your leisure. there are only so many days left in the month before season starts 3/20.

I have added two more timeslots on Tuesday, March 5th. For what it’s worth that is the night before I leave for vacation and that timeslot will certainly make my wife mad. Point is, I’m trying to make as many options available as possible!

I have set the auction time for now for March 18 at 8 PM. That is when 8 of 12 of us can be there. For the folks who marked that as a no, please reach out to me ASAP to confirm that you absolutely 100% cannot be there. I’m really sorry if this is a time you said you cannot make, like I said, getting 12 people into the same Zoom room at one time as a tall ask. If you don’t want to do it at that time, I would ask you to take the Doodle poll again and be as generous as possible with your time.
-
Please vote on the poll with the updated auction times/dates, including this weekend.

(forgive the spamming, yes I copied and pasted)
Me and Raghav have vacations running right through prime auction season, so I had to open up some new times, which are coming up fast - the first would be THIS Saturday the 2nd. So please please please vote (even if you voted already, you need to vote again, sorry!) by this Friday 3/1. Auction draft is the best day of the year (DON'T DISPUTE ME) and we wanna make sure everybody can be there.

For anyone setting up their draft targets: If you are looking for international players with no previous MLB experience in the Ottoneu draft pool (e.g., Yamamoto, Imanaga, Matsui), they are listed in the Minors.

Hey hey, we’re a month out from the start of the season. Please vote on the Doodle poll if you haven’t yet!

We don’t have a date yet! (The one on the top of the page is a placeholder.) But we’ll be sending out a Doodle poll soon.

MLB season starts 3/20, I believe. Do we know when we want to draft?

If anyone has an offer to help me free up some cap going into the draft, can't say I'll jump at it because I'm mostly standing pat this offseason, but shoot me an offer!

Hey everybody! Keeper deadline is tomorrow - meaning you have to have them done before midnight tomorrow - and a bunch of you haven’t made your cuts yet! Get em done or risk a shitty draft!
-
Yo! The KEEPER DEADLINE & the Ottoneu DUES ($20) are nigh! January 31. Get ye to Ottoneu, make your final roster cuts (before fighting to get cats back), and start paying mildly obsessive attention to spring training. Baseball is coming!
-
Happy New Year's Eve, all! Hope you're having a happy holiday season. Keeper deadline is one month away, January 31st, 2024. Please make your cuts and assign your keepers before then. See you in the new year!

Hey hey, in addition to Theo, the owner of Clintonville is stepping away. We’ll miss you, Mike! (We’ve already filled both vacancies btw. The new owners will be joining soon.)

Alright everyone: You may now begin handing guys their walking papers. Keeper deadline is January 31, 2024!

Arb is complete! Lookit us, everybody did it. Please select your favorite celebratory gif

You arbitration monsters! How dare you make me pay the Ottoneu market rate for Corey Seager!!!
Hey: The system works. Thank you for doing arbitration! I may not like paying $36 for Seager like everyone else--I had a total sweetheart $19 rate last season--but, well, it's fair. Cheers, buds!
-
Done, just sent him a text
-
Clippers are the only team to not do arb. Clippers, arb ends tomorrow, 11/14! Please do if you're able. (Anyone who knows Clippers, please nag them!)

Alright ye slowpokes! Get those arbitration $$$ spent! Annoy your friends, bamboozle your enemies. Help make the league fairer and more market reflective. Looking fwd to the offseason's changes with rosters and how it shapes our 2024 draft. Cheers!

Howdy folks, I hope you're well. Here's the list of folks who still need to do arbitration: Clippers, Carita, Ace Deuce, Artemis, & Geniuses. Please do your arb as soon as possible. Thank you!

Hey guys arb is due November 14th. Please do it if you haven’t already. It makes the league a lot fairer and more fun.
-
The team formerly known as Theo Epstein’s Mentor still needs an owner! We can probably find a new owner on the managers wanted page, but we would of course prefer to have someone’s friend over a rando. Please let me or Raghav know if you know anyone!
Also Theo’s arb is taken care of. We’re down to six owners who need to do arb! Please get it done when you can! Thanks a bunch.
-
OK, can you guys remove me then so I stop getting notifications
-
We’ve got it covered, thanks
-
Just note I am not returning so you need to find a replacement for me. If you really want I could do arbitration. Up to you guys.
-
Hi all, to ditto Loons, please do your arbitration if you've not done so already.

Hey, do arbitration!
This has been your weekly reminder to do arbitration.
Sincerely,

Just did mine! Did it during commercial breaks during the Titans Ravens game

Thanks for saying that, Cigar! Very thankful to share the burden of bugging. And you beat me to the punch! Haven’t done my arb yet.

Hi all, today is the first day of arbitration for ottoneu. I just did mine, took less than 10 minutes. Please do yours pronto so we can avoid last year's non-participation. If you have any questions on how arbitration works, please just shout it out. Thank you!

Letting you guys know asap I will not be returning for next season. Hope you find a replacement soon who can arbitrate
-
Yes, sincere congrats to everybody.
Now, on to the beginning of me annoying everybody about arbitration. We have not had great participation in arb in the past and it does indeed mess up competitive balance. So, I beg of y’all, please do arb! It starts this Sunday the 15th. And don’t worry about remembering, as I said, I will be a total pest about it.
Toodles!
-
In all seriousness, congrats to Ace for a well-played series! I, on the other hand, will spend the winter ruing the silly brainfart of undercounting the SP starts that are allowed in a two-week series, and leaving some points on the table as a result. A dumb mistake on my part, but that's what great teams do, they take advantage of the mistakes and punish you for them. And Ace have one heck of a great team.

Alameda: "Fingers crossed that said pipping continues into September..."
Narrator: "It did not"
