I can only take credit for the last one, also -- the prior manager departed after 2019. They built a winner!
-
Two words: Mike Trout. I think this team has rostered him continuously longer than any other in Ottoverse.
-
Just noticed Revolution Conine is about to win his 6th straight title. Impressive streak! How the heck does that even happen?
-
Anybody want to hit me up for trades before I make my free cuts?
-
I saw a team open and claimed it. I have 1 other team that I have had for 2 years now, so I know how to play but I have not done great there so I can't claim to be expert.
-
Happy Alek Manoah day... 2nd attempt
-
Ouch, Trout. Well Marte and Bellinger should be back soon, but I would still be interested in trading a mid-tier starter for a hitter, probably but not necessarily an OF.
-
11 of guys already on the IL 3 weeks into the season. This is becoming a normal thing for me yearly.
If anyone wants one of their IRL rival teams star players to get injured send that guy my way.
-
Nice article. I'm all for getting ottoneu more exposure.

Absolutely awesome Conine!

Hope you all will read the article I've just written for the Post about Niv & Ottoneu. One of the clear lessons I learned reporting this was just how much the game is co-created among leaguemates, so thanks so much for making this as fun (& challenging!) as it is! https://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/2021/04/13/ottoneu-fantasy-baseball-niv-shah/

Glad you're doing better. Luckily your team was already 🔥 🔥 🔥 to begin with.
-
Yikes Inclemente, bad weather indeed. Hope you’re feeling better & glad to have you back!
-
Sorry to hear that Inclemente. Hope you're much better now.

Sorry guys, just wanted to say I am active and plan on being active. I unfortunately missed the draft due to being in the hospital for a few days. Wouldn't have missed it if I wasn't.
-
I would also say if you decide you’re out of it before the season starts see who else is interested. Not that you would have gotten an offer you prefer but you’ll never know now and you had nothing to lose by waiting a few days to accept that offer.
-
Fair fair. I am more concerned about the process -- I guess I think you *did* have a shot, or at least it would be more sporting to have made a go, especially with $60 in cap coming *out* of the auction -- than arguing about the return, which is obviously high ceiling, volatile, and subjective. Like I said, I'm not like, mad, and if we want to reserve vetos for collusion, that's 100% fine. Actually more concerning is, did we find out if Inclemente is still around?
-
I don't think I have a realistic shot at winning the league in 2021. I mean I took over a last place team. I'm trying to build something for 2023. To do that I need to acquire young/cheap/good and to shed expensive. Do you think there is something unfair to that? A veto is meant to protect the league against an unfair trade, not a trade you don't like or a trade that threatens your competitive position. Vote as you wish. Obviously, both parties in the trade believe it to be fair.

What?!?! That would be an absolutely absurd veto- KRob and Greene are two of the small handful of guys that have legit top three prospect potential and Meyer could very well be fast tracked to MLB this year in a system that is showing over and over again that they can develop arms (Miami). All of that for a 34 year old ace that isn't at a low salary? That's more than fair of an offer- it's easy to whine about trades when you are at the top of the standings.
-
agreed
-
I might veto that? That's one of the 5 best pitchers projected for 2021 sold for prospects before the season even starts. I could get it if the seller was hopeless, but surplus calculator actually has MM in *better* position than PL. SC isn't everything, but I'd prefer if we made a sporting go of it before making league-changing trades. I know all 3 prospects have 2022 ETAs and high ranks -- we can dispute return -- but that's just giving up. I'm not mad if it goes thru, just being transparent.
-
Half an hour until the auction! See you all soon
-
One team filled.

Just a week til draft! Stoked. But I think it looks like we still have one team to fill?
-
But hey, I don’t have any money anyway, so I’ll make it work.

Hey all, sorry I haven't seen the message board, I haven't been receiving Ottoneu emails. I set a draft date today for mid-March. I'm open to other suggestions. I can also set it for this Sunday if that's the consensus.

Really need to know about a draft time, please. Trying to make work plans for the next month or so.
-
It would be great to set a draft date. It is really tough to make a date work without at least some advanced notice.
-
Last Sunday -- which is at this point next Sunday -- would work for me, I'm drafting another league the Sunday after though. What's up with The Good the Bad & the Ugly though? We need an owner there before we draft.
-
Oh my god, I totally lost track of the time and I had lost my team. Thankfully no one claimed it and I'm back. I'm the same owner as before (since 2011)
-
How about last Sunday in February for the draft?
-
So when are we drafting?
-
Thanks for understanding and making my cuts.

I missed the cut deadline. I thought I had until midnight my time(CT). Have a lot on my plate right now and scatter brained. It was an honest mistake. Not trying to get one over on anyone. I don’t plan to go into draft with any money anyway. If allowed, please cut:
Sisco, Severino, Diaz, Rodgers, Stewart, Alcantara, Fulmer, Means, Losiaga, Jeffries, Miller, Minter, Givens

Well, I came on to cut my players at 11:12 CT. Evidently the deadline was Eastern Time. I live Central Time zone and did not know this. Can I cut players?

Making major cuts tomorrow, this is your last chance to get any of my players without having to bid on them in the draft. Send your offers. Need lower salaries in return.
-
Let me know what players interest you from my team. Message me the players and I’ll look to see if anything works.

Pretty rad, thanks y'all. I set my lineups and went camping for the weekend and prayed for the best, glad to see it worked! This league has been super fun and I'm happy we could roll with this bizarro season and make the most of it. Looking forward to a busy offseason and, hopefully, a full slate of 2021 baseball. Go A's!
-
Congrats champ!
-
Gonna have to wait until next year. Congratulations Conine!
-
I hope there is a badge for that!
-
I currently have 17 players on the IL. That has to be some kind of record.
-
Send offers on Yadi, Freeman, Solano, Marwin, Joc, Ohtani, Brady Singer, Greinke, Neris, Treinen as you load up for a stretch run. Deadline is tonight. I can make deals salary-neutral.
-
As we round towards the stretch run I would like to trade for a MI, pref. SS. OF and C are also of interest. These don't have to be star rentals, also interested in boring but productive players as well. I mainly have SP to trade, but Waters is available too, and I can get creative for the right pieces.
-
Freddie Freeman, Shohei Ohtani, Jon Lester, Clayton Kershaw, Zack Greinke OTB. Come get them.
-
I already have 11 players out injured or sick. Over 1/4 of my entire roster. Absolutely unreal.
-
Anyone interested in doing a proxy draft tomorrow at 7pm est?
