I'm always in support of improving the league and increasing competitive balance, but I'm not convinced allocation will be better.
-
Here is the RotoGraphs article that was published when they rolled out the allocation system: http://www.fangraphs.com/fantasy/new-and-improved-ottoneu-arbitration-process/
The paragraph about why teams are given $25 to allocate is insightful, I think.
-
I agree. With both systems there are cost increases to be dealt but I prefer the vote-off because it both puts the player back on the market but also gives the former owner a bidding discount.
-
I kind of prefer the current arbitration system as it gets players back in the pool for everyone to have a chance at them and keeps the league a little more balanced imo. We voted to stick with the arbitration system prior to all the owner changes of the last 2 years so if we want to re-vote that's fine with me, but I'm fine with either system.
-
I'm in one other ottoneu league that used allocation (rather than vote-off) for the first time this year. Overall I think allocation is a bit more democratic: the guys who should be more expensive get more expensive and rebuilding teams can keep their roster intact. That being said, if allocation was in place, no way was Sano going to be $7. I like allocation a bit better but am fine with either system.
-
Either way you run the risk of decreasing the value of an asset. With vote off, you get the player back at market value minus $5. With allocations, you could potentially see the player's cost go up by as much as $33 (11 teams X max of $3 allocation). I have no experience with the allocations system. Those with experience: what's your preference? If there is discontent with the vote off system, let's vote on whether we should make the switch to allocations, eh?

The vote-off system sucks. It throws a wrench in trading for young players. What's the point in acquiring young talent if the rest of the league can just vote them off your roster after they start performing well? Just my two cents, but I'd like to see this league move to allocation system. That would allow us to truly build a team.

Ha! Thanks Mudville. Another reminder, get your arb voting done. Also, the trade window re-opens after the arb period ends (11/14) until the keeper deadline (1/31). I'll wait until then to start organizing an auction date/time.
-
Just saw the arbitration reminder email from the commish, so my apologies. Again, I sure hope GoGo stays!

Is there usually a reminder distributed to let everyone know about the arbitration period? Just want to make sure everyone remembers to vote. Really enjoy having $38 Carlos Gomez on my roster! Sure hope he doesn't get voted off!

Dear all, it has been an interesting season, but I am afraid I will not be coming back for next season. This was my first year in Ottoneu and I have realized that I find the 4x4-format not so exciting. So I will mark my team as abandoned. Thank you very much everyone and good luck next year!

Boise: how about a full lineup, including pitchers. Being on pace for 13.2 IP for the season is just a tad below the 1250 IP minimum. You have more faith in LaTroy Hawkins than even the Rockies do.

Hey Boise, we just want you to set a lineup so that all your players aren't just on the bench, which is why we thought it was abandoned.

So, as of 4/1, that team has been picked up and paid for, according to ottoneu. I've messaged the owner to see what's up but haven't heard anything back. Not sure what the options are at this point.
