It might create some more work, in that I'd end up cancelling some auctions for players that would break the rule. I'm not sure I understand the second point exactly though? Since this is exclusive to MiLB players only, I don't think you could call those "players in the pool" since they'd technically provide you 0 points. Can you clarify what you mean by that Whiskey?

A couple of thoughts... enforcing the rule as written puts quite a bit more responsibility on the commish's plate than a standard ottoneu league... and it incentives tanking a bit more when there are better players in the pool.
-
I am not going to reverse moves that were made last year, however do intend to enforce the rule this year (and following years) to ensure that we're upholding, unless the league has any issue with the rule itself and would like to put it to a vote.

So, this lends itself to a couple of things: 1. Anyone not originally drafted in the 5 MiLB draft shouldn't be allowed to go to auction at any point in the season after the draft. 2. that would also protect guys drafted in MLB draft (i.e. Adley Rutschman should still technically be a FA, draftable in our next 5 MiLB draft).

Hey guys it was also brought to my attention that I screwed up the MiLB rules last year, and should probably take greater care to ensure the rules in the Charter are upheld. My apologies for that. The rule in question is as such: Undrafted (unowned) 5MiLB players cannot be added to the non-roster portion of an owner’s roster at any other time during the year, and may not be added via the standard Ottoneu free-agent or waiver system by starting a player auction.

Friendly reminder...offline 5 MiLB draft will be held sometime in early February, shortly after cuts are made on 1/31. Tentatively thinking we start it on 2/8. Obviously since it's offline you don't have to be "present", but you'll have to adhere to the draft timing window.

Hi all, 2 points I’d like to make: 1. Ottoneu gave us a Trade Block for a reason. Update your trade block often. Use it as a tool, because that is what it is! 2. Communicate. Reply to messages and trade offers. Make counteroffers. Share your contact info (if you’re comfortable doing so). My name is Eddie, my cell is 5089972097 and I approve this message.

Made a few promotions of guys that played in September for the 2020 season. You can add guys you'd like to promote for 2020 any time before the Cut deadline (1/31). Our offline 5 MiLB draft will be sometime early February.

I'll be back as well! And late congrats to the Bulldogs!
-
I'll be back
-
I plan to come back, but Rob Manfred said I'll have to change my team name. (Pace of play issue.)
-
I intend on coming back next season.
-
Ill be back next season. There’s always next year!
-
Hey guys, not sure if you saw the schedule I'd sent out...but arbitration begins in just a couple of weeks (exactly, actually) on the 15th of October, so please don't shut it down just yet. If you can't make it, please let me know and I'll find a proxy...but am hoping everyone will be able to participate.
Also, wondering if everyone's still planning on coming back for this upcoming season? Last season was a mad-dash I'd love to avoid...so please let me know if you can.

And congratulations to Fairhaven on a 20 K season. That is really special.

Close! They are exempt from the auction draft, and get DOUBLE arb. Congrats again, Fairhaven!

I think the rule last year was defending champion is exempt from the auction draft.

Isn’t the league rule “Defending Champion is exempt from arbitration”? 😉

Season's almost over...big congrats to Fairhaven on the championship he seemingly secured 2 months ago, nice season! I'm gonna give it another run next year. Don't forget that the arbitration window will open up shortly (October 15th). I've added a link to a handy little calendar that helps me see the next items up. Also, don't forget we'll have the 5 MiLB draft in early February likely, more to come on that. Calendar: https://community.ottoneu.com/t/ottoneu-full-season-calendar/875
