  • 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.

    The Hall of Very Good on May 13, 2025 7:54 PM

  • 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.

  • Thanks for a great auction yesterday guys! Heads up to Last Dive Bar, Corbats and Hall of Good.....you need to set your lineup still. Good luck everyone!

  • Thanks for a good draft everyone. Set those rosters!

  • IMPORTANT! Our draft is tomorrow at 7pm EST. Please be ready a couple of minutes early. You must nominate when it is your turn or you will be locked out of the draft. You may be allowed back in, but no promises as to how soon that happens. We will take a 10 minute break at from 8 to 8:10, 9 to 9:10 and 10 to 10:10 (if necessary.) If you have any questions please reach out to either John or myself. If it's easier during the draft you can text me at 519-831-5415.

  • As you all know, the draft goes quickly. Spend some time in the draft room. Please spend some time building your watch list. See you in ONE week - next Sunday.

  • I like early drafts too!

    Soto pop on March 13, 2025 11:24 AM

  • The draft is just too late.

    Blazing Singles on March 13, 2025 10:48 AM

  • Hey Brad. Stats for players already drafted should not count at all. Totally unfair for those that need many players to fill active rosters.
    Rosters can be accessed pre-draft.
    Im wondering why Ottoneu cant put rosters back to pre Japan after our auction???
