I'm sure it's fine. It's summer and someone probably quickly through them up without finishing their profiles. It's just caused confusion in the past so I wanted to be sure.

Somewhat new to Ottoneu so I hope I didn’t do anything wrong by starting those auctions - just remember hearing on a podcast to check for their being added to the player pool at the end of July. Checked a few days ago and they weren’t there but checked this morning and they were.

Holliday is a SS and Anderson is a P. I think Ottoneu has just not updated their positions since they've just signed.

Just wondering, why are those 2 kids classified as FAs when they have both been drafted already? Just making sure we don't run into the same dual player thing we did in CBS.

I actually do what Jason is saying a lot (right now in fact), but what John is referring to is where people bid on every player, whether they want him or not. Usually this is because that owner is regulating the market. Making sure that if players are picked up, it's for a fair price. I believe it was Andy who played Sheriff last year. I really should be doing it more, as I have a lot of free cap space but I haven't been paying close enough attention.

Someone can probably explain better than me but it's usually done on your own players, after they are re-eligible for auction as a way to reduce your cap hit. For example, you drop Player X, who you won in auction at $8 dollars and then cut in Spring Training because he is having Tommy John. In this case the owner who dropped them would receive a $4 penalty. If you auction them again, you can then drop them again for added cap relief (no one else will be auctioning them and reducing that hit).

It eludes me to no end why managers win a bid and immediately drop the player. It happens all the time in both my Ottoneu leagues. Would someone be willing to explain the rationale please.
