Things should just proceed as normal, no need to reinvent the wheel. The team is at an obvious disadvantage this year, but could be in an enviable position by the end of the year. Plenty of cap space, the ability to acquire all the unknown breakout stars of 2019, the ability to take on IR cap space for prospects from the contenders. Whomever takes over could easily be in the top position by next year.
-
I dont know that as a commish I have the power to do that as far as limiting transaction. That would have to be agreed upon by the league. Ottoneu lets u start them as soon as the draft is over. My second issue is some teams did not get to the 40 man limit yesterday and to be fair to them I dont know if we should ask them not to fill out a full roster when everyone else could. My voice is only one tho so please post or message.
-
i think we should hold off on transactions until the dead team is figured out. If there is some miraculous spring development, give that owner first dibs. Obviously he'll be able to outbid everyone else

Just so everyone understands trades and auctions are currently open. I have no control over that. Once the draft is over auctions and trades become available to all teams. With an early draft sometimes auctions are a good way to fill a team need with a player who looks like he has landed a spot in spring training.
-
eh, no real rush at this point, right? Maybe my 'it's Feb!' refrain is getting old, but there's really no need to open waivers, start trades, etc anytime soon. I say stick with Taps for at least a week (or Friday, whatever) and see what happens. Whatever 2020 looks like will need to be decided with whoever is running that team

😂 😂 Maybe if you talk everyone into a redraft, that team looks like a solid 8th place finish.
-
I want everyone to be in this league including taps in 2030 and I am going to do everything I can for everyone to make it work. I look forward to u guys finishing in second for years. Three teams interested one team said they will pay the fee for 2020.

sorry taps*

Seems very fair. Even gives dubs an out in case he makes contact and doesn't want to continue in the league

The 3 potentials are all willing to pay the 2020 fee?! Nice work!
-
If anyone has any ideas or thinks I should wait longer please message or post something. I am trying to look out for taps/League at the same time.
-
League Vote needed. I have three teams and one confirmed that would take over Taps team if I don't make contact with him by Fri. I am going to email him or message him everyday til then. The team claiming taps team will pay the 2020 league fee upon taking the team and be given the team to run free of charge in 2019. I am going to do everything I can to make contact with Taps and get him anything he needs to make this work.
-
Taps Team-I have messaged him again this morning to try and find out what happened. I hope it is nothing serious. I will give him some time and I hope he responds. He was in the draft room so I dont know if something happened. I have someone who might take the team if I doesn't get back to me. I have also contacted Niv for an opinion. As far as the money goes the prize structure is in place and this situation will not have an impact. I will try and do what I can to help taps out.

This has to be every year type thing now Florida.

That will conclude the post draft analysis from the Florida man.

I know you don’t want some ambiguous ‘well I guess we’ll just have to play the season!’ answer to who won though, so let’s be real here. I punted RP - really, it’s FEB, nothing is settled in any bullpen - my SP’s are good enough, and my offense is solid, top to bottom. Values galore in Freeman and pollock, and I’ll just call my shot now - Torres is even better than he showed last year, and White is a top 8 1b. Oh, and vlad/eloy in May. Thanks for playing

Club dubs auction left me unfulfilled. I can kind of assign round values and say, sure his top 6-7 guys ‘fit’ in the first 6-7 rounds. But there’s no values, ya know? And the rest looks like slop.
It seems like OF is important in ottoneu...but Northsider’s took a bunch of junk there. And finished the auction with an ungodly amount of cap! Somehow he still has like 5 MiLBers/guys who probably get sent down for not being good at baseball. Should be an interesting march for him.

Yeah I feel like we should be focused on more important thing right now - who won the auction? I’m most intrigued by msegm. LOTS of slots still to fill, but who cares? The offense he got is top tier, and while I’m not sure it’s intentional, he appeared to corner the market on 3b. Obviously we can’t ignore Marve buying the top 3 OFs (players?), but I honestly don’t know if that works in this format. Maybe it will! But the holes elsewhere are glaring, and any injuries to those 3 are seas

Going to start the draft please get back to the draft room if u can
-
Florida just sent u a message.
-
I’m confused on the starting lineup roster. Is it 14 offense, 5 RP, 3 SP?

Marv addressed most of the draft room questions. Auction Draft tab is listed above u can enter the draft room at any time. You can import your Queue and that is to Nom. players in the draft. U set the starting salary for players you Nom. (Mike Trout u can set at $35 dollars to start and bidding will go from that amount.) Nom process is from top to bottom of the names listed in the draft room. I think this year is was set to how you paid as to the place that is listed.
-
Every position player has an 162 Game limit. Ottoneu will give u a running count of games played during the year. C is the only spot and it also has a 162 Game limit but has two spots due to the fact most C dont play 162.
-
On pitching limits u get 1500 total ip for all your starter and RP. Say on Sept 29 u are at 1499 IP and have 4 SP going, u will get credit for all the innings until the next day. Once 1500 IP is reached the next day stats will not count.
-
Auction functions perfectly fine on phone but crappy UX. Horizontal scrolling necessary and a complexifier.
-
Link to Auction Draft at top-left of this very page. Set up a queue by searching manually for players, or tapping position for list of top guys (not entirely sure what it sorts by but it's always safer to do some scrolling), and clicking 'W+' next to their name. Click 'Nom.' next to their name (either in search tool or queue) to nominate them. Initial bid can be anything you like. Make sure you hit your G and IP limits. May need to use a 6th/7th SP regularly as guys don't throw 200+ IPs anymore.
-
How do otteneau auctions differ from other sites? Do all players open as $1, or can I queue a guy for $40? Will this work on my phone?

Let’s assume for a moment no one knows otteneau. So idiot proof explanations needed. Where is the auction room. Send a link. How do I set a queue. When can I set a queue. In your opinion what should new managers know about otteneau entering the auction? Game limits? IP limits?

Well said the draft moves quicker than u might expect from a player draft perspective. I can pause the draft if it gets to 3 secs and a bid has not been made by a team. Not ideal because it adds time to the draft process but I understand we have some new guys drafting. If u load your queue it makes it very easy. I usually will try to get 50 players that I want to nominate in the queue to start then add during the draft.
-
And it's an absolute headache for the commish if you miss your nomination, as the system puts you in sleep mode. Ottoneu definitely could upgrade the drafting system.
-
I know some of you are OttoNeu auction vets, but for anyone new, please familiarize yourself with the Auction Draft room, especially the nomination queue. Drafting over 400 players takes time--especially if we're not nominating promptly. Thanks! (now the pressure's on to heed my own advice :-)
-
Spoke with Taps we are a go for Sun at 2pm EST.
-
2 Pm full draft unless after 5 hours we have a lot left then I will move it to a second day. That is the best I can do for everyone.
-
edit my last statement, start at 2pm and stop 5 hours after start time. Then reaccess if we need to do another day or if we can just do 24 hour blind auctions
-
2PM can work for me...My only other issue is lets cut it off after 4 hours...That would be midnight for me and I get up at 5am. We can always find another day that works to finish what we have left....if it isn't allot then blind auctions work fine as well.
-
1pm won't work for me. Able to make 2pm if everyone wants to split the difference.

Guys I have two requests to move the draft up to 1PM est on Feb 17. Would this work for everyone? Please get back to me.
-
Guys the only team I am waiting on to respond is 28 Taps. I did send him an email, and two messages. His last login was on Feb 7. I am hoping he gets back to me today.
-
We are a go for the draft. I did have one request that instead of 10 Min breaks we take a break from 630-7pm est. This will give everyone time to reload the queue, and take a break for a few mins. Anyone needs anything let me know.
-
First time guys in the Ottoneu draft. Just to let u know u can import guys into your watch list queue by clicking on watch list when the looking at a player u may want. Then hit import in the draft room. This can be done to assist in bidding and nominating players. Draft room is current up and this can be done immediately. Any questions send me a message. I will take a break (10 min) after 2 hours of drafting to reload your queue during the draft.
