  Looks like he pitched in 2020

  SEVEN on January 20, 2021 11:47 PM

• Four teams have now signed up for the New Season. There's still plenty of time. Hope to see more in the next week or so.

  SEVEN on January 13, 2021 11:14 AM

• So far two teams have renewed for next year. That's a Great start. Lets' keep it going.

  SEVEN on January 2, 2021 2:10 PM

• TENTATIVE Draft Day: Saturday, March 20, 2021 6:00 PM EDT PLEASE PLAN CAREFULLY

  SEVEN on December 26, 2020 3:51 PM

• ARBITRATION ENDS TODAY

  SEVEN on November 14, 2020 2:29 PM

• Yeah it can really shift the balance of power and throw off player values for the whole league if everyone doesn't do arb. Please get it done if you haven't yet!

  Dominican Über on November 11, 2020 3:25 PM

• ARBITRATION ENDS NOVEMBER 15TH. If anyone needs help understanding what to do please reach out.

  SEVEN on October 26, 2020 10:53 AM

• Is anyone not planning on coming back next year? Let us know now so we can try to find a new owner. But I hope everybody returns. We have a good group here.

  SEVEN on October 18, 2020 11:23 PM

• Correct on both

  SEVEN on September 29, 2020 10:43 AM

• Congrats to Kanobis on the win! So just to be clear, if I want to remove someone from my MILB roster, I need to call them up and then cut them? I would assume best time to do this would be after arbitration.

  ⚾️Corked🍷 on September 29, 2020 10:26 AM

• Well played Kanobis! Sorry to be late to the discussion, it sounds mostly sorted. In my other league with 5MiLB its not so much that we follow every rule set forth by the 5MiLB system exactly, but we've discussed (much like we're doing here) and used what worked best for everyone in the league. As long as we keep good track like SEVEN has done with promotions and such it should run smooth.

  All That Jazz 🎷 on September 28, 2020 5:51 PM

• That was a great race over the last few weeks and came right down to the wire. Can’t ask for more than that. Onto the off-season!

  Kanobis on September 28, 2020 7:27 AM

• Congrats to champ Kanobis and also to Royce and Isotopes and a big thank you to Commishes. Hope my rebuilding works out next year and that everybody stays in the league. It was a nice passtime having back baseball and Ottoneu in these difficult times, be safe everyone.

  da Mets on September 27, 2020 11:34 PM

• Arbitration Should begin around October 15th.

  SEVEN on September 27, 2020 11:32 PM

• To Summarize here's where we are. 1. 5milb players can be traded. 2. 5milb players must be called up before cutting them 3. 5milb players can be cut year round. Any Comments?

  SEVEN on September 27, 2020 10:56 PM

• Spiders The rules definitely anticipate trading directly from one teams 5MiLB to another, but it’s weird to not have to call them up to trade them, but to have to do so to cut them. I see your point. TRADING FROM ONE 5MILB ROSTER TO ANOTHER WILL BE ALLOWED IT ALSO KEEPS THEM AS 5MILB. However I feel, we can discuss, that once a 5milb player is dropped he should be made available as a free agent to the league. It makes a draft of a 5milb player more important. not just to be added and dropped.

  SEVEN on September 27, 2020 10:53 PM

• no no i think you’re right that any time other than the off-season cut period they have to count against cap is correct.

  Gashouse Gang on September 27, 2020 10:52 PM

• Spiders- Between the end of the season and the Jan 31 deadline there isn’t a cap. Which means you could call up, and then subsequently cut, with no concerns/penalties. Yes that's a good point because teams make unbalanced trades. I just wanted to prevent teams calling up and then dropping 5MILB players willy nilly. Calling them up first gives them a salary of $1 then makes them eligible as free agents. Which I think is fair. MY caps idea makes no sense. You are right.

  SEVEN on September 27, 2020 10:45 PM

• it's ok with me if teams want to trade from one 5milb list to another. I just thought it would be easier if they didn't but I won't stop anyone from doing so.

  SEVEN on September 27, 2020 10:39 PM

• It just occurred to me that maybe the reason the rules want you to call up to then cut a player is that that player will then show up in the waiver box on the home page, so there’s less of a chance of an owner missing that that guy is available. Maybe that actually makes sense?

  Gashouse Gang on September 27, 2020 10:30 PM

• The rules definitely anticipate trading directly from one teams 5MiLB to another, but it’s weird to not have to call them up to trade them, but to have to do so to cut them.

  Gashouse Gang on September 27, 2020 10:27 PM

• Also, yes, lol, this would be a very bad time to call someone up.

  Gashouse Gang on September 27, 2020 10:25 PM

• LET'S AGREE THAT 5milb PAYERS HAVE TO BE ON YOUR 40 MAN ROSTER IN ORDER TO TRADE THEM. IT WOULD BE SIMPLER THAT WAY.

  SEVEN on September 27, 2020 10:25 PM

• Between the end of the season and the Jan 31 deadline there isn’t a cap, if i read the rules correctly. Which means you could call up, and then subsequently cut, with no concerns/penalties.

  Gashouse Gang on September 27, 2020 10:23 PM

• I wouldn't promote anyone you plan to keep before Arbitration or allocations LOL

  SEVEN on September 27, 2020 10:23 PM

• Spiders it says 5milb players call be called up at any time. and yes you have to call him up before you cut him. Also you must have cap space BEFORE you promote him if doing so in the off season..

  SEVEN on September 27, 2020 10:22 PM

• There seems to be a conflict in the stated rules. One says that 5milb players cannot be traded and another says trades of 5milb players have to be posted to the message board. We may want to discuss trading of 5 milb players before one is attempted.

  SEVEN on September 27, 2020 10:19 PM

• 5MiLB-only trades (trades that do not include any players currently on 40-man rosters) must be announced via the league message board, are not subject to veto by the league, and may be executed immediately by the commissioner. All trades involving a 5MiLB player must be announced on the league message board for record keeping.

  SEVEN on September 27, 2020 10:17 PM

• 5MiLB players may be cut, traded, or “called up” (added) to an owner’s standard 40-man Ottoneu roster at any time during the calendar year, except the days in which a draft (annual auction or 5MiLB) is in process. In order to cut a 5MiLB player, the player must first be called up to the 40-man roster, thus incurring a $1 cap penalty upon cut.

  SEVEN on September 27, 2020 10:16 PM

• Congrats to all on a great season! I'm okay doing whatever with the MiLB, but FWIW I run an Ottoneu league with 10 MiLB. The rule that we have is that anyone can release a MiLB at any time without penalty. We have a semiannual MiLB draft, so there's an incentive to clear underperforming MiLB throughout the season without $1 penalty so that you can draft replacements at one of the drafts. Here's a link to the league constitution: http://bestdamn5x5dynastyever.simplesite.com/

  Plan Nine on September 27, 2020 10:16 PM

• Also found these. 5MiLB transaction rules: The maximum number of non-rostered MiLB players a team can draft is five (5); the maximum number of non-rostered MiLB players a team can own at any given time is ten (10). Owners may not participate in the annual March 5MiLB draft if they own five or more MiLB non-rostered players entering the draft. Owners may draft up to the maximum of five (5) 5MiLB players during the draft. 5MiLB draft picks cannot be traded.

  SEVEN on September 27, 2020 10:15 PM

• So if i promote, say, Brandon Marsh, he plays by the same roster rules as say, Juan Soto. And you can’t cut without promoting first.

  Gashouse Gang on September 27, 2020 10:15 PM

• I did find our previous rules that stated 5milb players may be called up any time in the calendar year. So that seems to answer that questions

  SEVEN on September 27, 2020 10:14 PM

• Seems to me the spirit of the 5MiLB rule is that in order to cut a player you have to promote them to your 40 man first, which you can do any time. But once they’re on your 40 man, they have to follow the same rules as anyone else, i.e. can’t be cut from end of season to end of arb, can be cut penalty free from end of arb to Jan 31 keeper deadline, can’t be cut from Jan 31 to end of auction, then can be cut for a penalty from end of auction to end of season. Does that make sense?

  Gashouse Gang on September 27, 2020 10:13 PM

• OKAY. 5MILB is a League determined entity. Meaning there are no Ottoneu Rules What say Yee on dropping 5milb players in the off season. Do we want to be able to drop players or not? I say OK if adding player to roster does not temporarily put your team over player or cap limits. Meaning you would still have to call player up to your 40 man roster before cutting him. Of course this will only be allowed during times when cuts are permitted. Does Anybody else have any other ideas? .

  SEVEN on September 27, 2020 10:10 PM

• Congratulations to Kanobis, Axiom and Springfield. I hope everyone returns next year. Hopefully we'll have a normal season. We still have arbitration, allocations, trades and final roster cuts ahead of us.

  SEVEN on September 27, 2020 9:08 PM

• I didn't see any written guidance on 5 milb players in the off season. I have emailed Ottoneu to see if there are any written rules. If not our leage may have to agree on one ourselves.

  SEVEN on September 27, 2020 9:00 PM

• Congrats to the money winners! Looking forward to some offseason activity, and hopefully a full 162 season next year!

  Gashouse Gang on September 27, 2020 8:05 PM

• Hey SEVEN, quick clarification needed on the minor league rosters... what happens with the guys we don't cut today? Can we not cut them in the off-season?

  Dominican Über on September 27, 2020 5:19 PM

• We shall see. No matter what it’s been a great race!

  Kanobis on September 27, 2020 1:50 PM

• First place is going to be decided on home runs, wins, and saves.

  SEVEN on September 27, 2020 12:52 PM

• Wow Axiom. You left yourself with no eligible roster spots. Gonna be close. I still say this is the best group of owners I've had the privilege to play with. Still looking forward to offseason moves.

  SEVEN on September 27, 2020 12:45 PM

• I'm going to call it: Kanobis will surely overtake my team today for first place. Good season, everybody.

  Plan Nine on September 27, 2020 12:20 PM

• Well it looks like we have our first three winners although first and second place is too close to call. Congratulations everybody. Don't forget if there's anybody on your minor league roster that you want to drop you have two days to call them up and then drop them..

  SEVEN on September 26, 2020 11:56 AM

• Jared Oliva was added to Tigers 2025 from their Milb roster

  SEVEN on September 26, 2020 2:17 AM

• Sorry, beginning of the school year craziness...forgot that there would be an additional cut after the Strasburg auction. We're usually pretty on top of things.

  Dominican Über on September 16, 2020 3:09 PM

• I think it's important for trams to keep a legal roster at all times Please make sure rosters are up to date.

  SEVEN on September 16, 2020 1:09 PM

• I really dont want to be that guy, but Dominican Ubers team has been illegal for over 3 days. Can we ask him/her to make a move to get the team straight?
