Hi. I saw this team available and I have wanted to try an Ottoneu team for a while now.
-
Welcome to the league. You will find it is an active, fun league with good people. Not a lot of chat (usually) but always a very lively auction. Good Luck!
-
Glad to jump into this league early in the new season! Open to making rebuilding focused moves, and turning the page on the messages below. Play ball!
-
I hope you will reconsider. Your opinion is not wrong, but the rules are different, and we can't change them. The whole point is that your leaguemates should not be chastised for following the process. You may not have intended to insult anyone, but I think it came across that way. We should be playing this for fun. Peace to you, too.
-
Comic relief , I was simply asking another league member what was going on, if we can’t do that in here that fine . Radio silence on my end fem here in out . Good luck all
-
No shit it's a blind auction. If you blindly bid $15 you should have to pay $15. Doesn't matter I'm done. I put my whole team on the bench. Peace out to this nonsense
-
A standard auction might have ended at $7 and $15 never gets bid. But this is a blind auction, 1 bid only. You had $11 cap space, bid $5. Munson had $7 space, bid $6. Bedlam had $42, bid $15. Very simply, you all wanted this player and the deepest pocket won. Why not assume Bedlam was willing to pay $15 for in-season saves? You have a $12 Floro on your roster! It's the "$15 random fucking bet" and "bad fucking luck" comments at issue. You are free to believe the auction
-
You don't understand my argument. Auctions have definitely not been like these for thousands of years. If you bid $15 you should have to pay $15, not $7. Any other auction you pay what you bid. If an auctioneer says $525 anybody and you bid $800 you fucking pay $800 not $525. Pretty simple math
-
Munson, maybe you should stay confused. You’ve used that line “I’m confused” in two consecutive posts…as if someone owes you an explanation for how that spend their budget. They don’t. Nobody demanded an explanation from you when you accumulated $35 in cap penalties. How about if we just respect each other and let OTHER people spend THEIR money how they see fit? If you are genuinely curious, you can always privately message someone rather than call them out publically.
-
Bedlam , now I’m really confused . First of all I wasn’t even at the draft and second no one is compounding that bid high and got your guy in the auction. But what is confusing is your rage quit because you won , I would love to understand
-
Nice pick up, Bedlam. A strategic Vickery bid in a category of need. FWIW, actions are always won by the highest bidder. Been that way for 1000s of years. Many fantasy baseball leagues, including expert leagues, do free agent pickups this way. Anyone who thinks auctions are stupid can play in a league that doesn’t have them. CBS does free agent pickups with rotating hierarchy.
-
I likely did. Not sure why you are all whining like two year olds. You wasted and overpaid at draft, no one complains, but I use my money now, bunch of crying. So sad.
-
Bedlam, I’m confused . You didn’t bid $15 on quijada ?
-
This is the stupidest way to follow baseball...
-
I'm done, I quit. Disciples should have have won that last bid with $6. Fucking $15 random fucking bet; so fucking stupid. Peace out and bad fucking luck to the lot!
-
sorry for filling the transaction log, not thrilled with my teams roster construction. Burn and Churn.
-
I'm going to want to do some trading. Give me a day or 2 to see what's up, probably going to be under $10 guys

Thanks, it is what it is. Most of my team is set(and overpaid) so as long as it doesnt mess you guys up too much I will be fine.
-
Munson, really sorry you can't make it. Fortunately, you already have $365 worth of keepers on your team. I don't know if autobid is an option for Ottoneu, but it probably won't affect the auction for the rest of us much either way since you only only have $35 to spend. Best of luck this season. We will all try to leave some good players for you. :)
-
or i can just set my watchlist, whatever is best for the group.
-
something popped up and I cannot do the auction tomorrow anymore, my apologies. Lock my team so it doesn't autobid and ruin the auction for everyone. I will fill my roster off the waiver wire.
-
Draft date is set for Thursday, March 16 @ 730 pm central time.

I can do 3/16, but not 3/23 but not sure if you should plan around me as I'll likely lose interest at some point again this year. I've paid up through this year and made cuts before the deadline so hopefully the team/roster is in decent shape if you want to find a replacement. If not, I'll plan on doing the draft again this year but it'll probably fall of my radar again at some point this year.

re: March 16th or 23rd, Des Moines Prohibitionists asked* to let him know if I CANNOT do one of these date. I CAN do both... so please ignore this message.
-
Both should work for me. Internet my be spotty on 3/16, but the what the hell. Sometimes you gotta swing on 3-0.
-

No go for me for draft on 3/24 or 3/25. So no weekends at all except for those two days in March, Munson? What about weekends in February?

March 17th is not good, but March 18-19 are fine. I am also available just about any other weekend in March. I suggest that if someone can't do the weekend of March 17 (as appears to be the case) please let us know what weekends you are available in March.
-
I am not available the weekend of 3/17 at all, sorry
-
Looking at the weekend of March 18 for draft. Please state your preference between March 17 at 7 pm, March 18 at 7 pm, or March 19 at 3 pm, all Central time. Also please let me know if you absolutely cannot do any of these datestimes. Thanks!

Hot Stove action!

Just a reminder. Arbitration has one day left

Arbitration due in 2 weeks! This keeps our league competitive, especially on draft day: 1. Allocations to keepers = less money in the draft = less inflation, 2. Allocations add up over time which leads to good players getting released back to the draft pool years sooner.
-
Congrats to YLT, CRP & the Prohbys. Well done 👍
-
Thanks CRP! It was a great stretch run with you and DP. I really appreciate this league, you are all great competitors. Hope we can keep it going for seasons to come.

Everyone's efforts contributed, which matters when it comes down to the last day, Thanks for not mailing it in. Enjoy the off-season and best of luck next year!
-
Yo La Tengo, I believe you got this! :) Congrats. May your flag fly forever! It was a great 3 way race until the last few days when TDMP and I faded due to fulfilling positional requirements. It was a matter of who was in first when the music stopped, and the cream rose to the top. Many thanks to all who played until thee end, including Mexicants (who tied me and passed TDMP in RBIs today), Big Papi Memories (who passed me in Ks today), and Disciples (who tied me in Ks today).
-
I'm willing to trade anyone except Arenado.
I need bats (power), and arms.
-
This is so fucking stupid. You bid 12 he should be rostered for 12
