• 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!

  Soto pop on March 24, 2025 11:12 AM

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

  Los Pollos Locos 🐓 on March 23, 2025 9:57 PM

• 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.

  Los Pollos Locos 🐓 on March 22, 2025 11:02 AM

• 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.

  Los Pollos Locos 🐓 on March 16, 2025 9:13 AM

• I like early drafts too!

  Soto pop on March 13, 2025 11:24 AM

• The draft is just too late.

  Ottomated Strike Zone 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???

  Soto pop on March 13, 2025 10:01 AM

• I don't think rosters can be accessed pre-draft.

  Ottomated Strike Zone on March 13, 2025 9:24 AM

• Stats for players drafted after the Japan series WILL NOT COUNT. Not sure if stats for players you already own during the games will count or not, so put them on your active roster just in case.

  Los Pollos Locos 🐓 on March 13, 2025 9:14 AM

• It sucks. Early last year and this year, pitchers are dropping like flies. The only silver lining is you will have $26 right after the draft when most of us are broke. Then another chunk if you re-auction him later.

  Ottomated Strike Zone on March 10, 2025 9:40 PM

• That is frustrating Darrell. Not the way you want to start your year.

  Los Pollos Locos 🐓 on March 10, 2025 9:19 PM

• I mean a message board probably isn't the best way to have this discussion but the risk part wasn't in giving up assets, as I didn't give up much, it's that keeping high priced player (especially pitchers) when the keeper deadline is 2 months before the start of the season is probably wrong. I haven't really thought about that in terms of if that says something about the league or not. I do wonder if someone knows why it would be detrimental to the league for owners to drop players pre auction?

  The Hall of Very Good on March 10, 2025 9:17 PM

• Trading for Cole was a big risk/reward transaction. Not a pre auction trade that I would have done.

  Soto pop on March 10, 2025 8:51 PM

• I would love to go 1 year where there isn't a season ending injury to a major player in-between the keeper deadline and the draft.

  The Hall of Very Good on March 10, 2025 5:20 PM

• That is the date. Yes, games before draft should count.

  Los Pollos Locos 🐓 on February 22, 2025 8:14 AM

• Is that the real draft date or a place holder?

  Ottomated Strike Zone on February 20, 2025 10:08 PM

• Hey all. The Dodgers and Cubs play 2 regular season games before our draft. Just wondering if the stats from those games will be counted towards roster players selected in our draft?

  The Last Dive Bar on February 20, 2025 6:23 PM

• Ottoneu renewals also due today!

  Los Pollos Locos 🐓 on January 31, 2025 9:01 AM

• last day for roster cuts

  Los Pollos Locos 🐓 on January 31, 2025 9:00 AM

• A big welcome to our new manager Erik who took over Bang the Drum.

  Los Pollos Locos 🐓 on January 30, 2025 2:42 PM

• I'm from a small, mountain town in central Virginia - USA. Appreciate the warm welcome and look forward to being a part of this group!

  Chasin’ PA and IP on January 30, 2025 2:12 PM

• Welcome "Chasin" ! I think the majority of us are from Southern Ontario. What part of the world are you from? Good luck this year!

  Soto pop on January 30, 2025 10:15 AM

• Claimed the team and paid up for the year - glad to be a part of the league. Looking forward to March 23!

  Chasin’ PA and IP on January 29, 2025 8:31 PM

• FYI....Im wont be able to respond to any managers for 2 weeks starting this Friday.

  Soto pop on January 28, 2025 5:36 PM

• I'm pretty sure I was in this scenario when I joined last year and ended up just doing all my cuts at once to not get hit by penalties. It worked out well and was easy to do. Just takes some planning ahead of your cuts is all.

  Brunzer on January 27, 2025 1:30 PM

• Not sure if you need to hear from other owners, but I am fine with this.

  The Last Dive Bar on January 27, 2025 8:55 AM

• Agreed, that works too.

  A VAN down by the River on January 25, 2025 9:37 PM

• I believe whenever a new manager joins a league, they get one round of penalty-free cuts.

  Ottomated Strike Zone on January 25, 2025 9:31 PM

• This proposed solution would cut the following 17 players from the "Bang The Drums" team,
  leaving the owner with a reasonable team to build on in the upcoming March 25 draft:
  Rafael Montero,
  James Karinchak,
  Harold Ramirez,
  Brandon Drury,
  Erik Swanson,
  Ramon Laureano,
  Abner Uribe,
  Griffin Canning,
  James Outman,
  Alex Verdugo,
  Alex Cobb,
  Hector Neris,
  Jonah Heim,
  Justin Verlander,
  DL Hall,

• If there is no new owner for "Bang The Drum", I would suggest that the league take action on this team prior to the Jan 31 deadline. This would be done, such that, a new potential owner will have something to work with come the March 25 draft date. My proposal is that the league should drop all players on that team that have an Ottoneu Roster% of less than 70%. I would make one exception for Lucas Giolito (at 33%), who missed last year and is expected to be healthy this year.

  A VAN down by the River on January 25, 2025 9:26 PM

• Hey guys. There are lots of parts to a dynasty league. Research, auctions, faabs, trading, communication to name a few. Life gets in the way and sometimes we cant put as much effort into these things as we'd like to. I understand. Ive made a couple trade offers in the last week and all Ive heard is crickets. Please, if your busy, a simple message reply takes only 5 minutes.
  Hopefully everyone is prepared for keepers lists shortly.
  Have a great week!

  Soto pop on January 13, 2025 4:10 PM

• The draft will be March 23 at 7pm EST.

  Los Pollos Locos 🐓 on January 8, 2025 7:52 AM

• Also, a reminder to to pay your annual Ottoneu fee - $20USD. Due by end of January.

  Los Pollos Locos 🐓 on January 4, 2025 3:43 PM

• Hi all. Still looking for a new manager for Bang the Drum. If you know anyone please let me know asap! Draft date coming soon. Keeper lists due end of January.

  Los Pollos Locos 🐓 on January 4, 2025 1:54 PM

• Hi all. Shawn of Bang the Drum will not be returning for 2025. If you know anyone who might be interested send them my way. If we have no takers in the next couple of weeks I'll mark the team as abandoned and we can see if we can find someone in the broader Ottoneu universe.

  Los Pollos Locos 🐓 on November 6, 2024 4:29 PM

• 3 more managers needed to complete arbitration please.

  Soto pop on November 5, 2024 6:52 AM

• There are still a few teams needing to do their arbitration. Please don't forget about this.

  Los Pollos Locos 🐓 on November 1, 2024 1:38 PM

• Hi all. Arbitration is open. It's an important part of helping with league parity so please take 10 minutes to complete it. Also, if anyone is not planning on returning for 2025 please let me know asap. Thanks!

  Los Pollos Locos 🐓 on October 19, 2024 11:42 AM

• Congrats to the managers who fought hard to be in the cash and of course congrats to the managers that had fun and fought hard doing so. See u guys next spring!

  Soto pop on October 1, 2024 2:18 PM

• Thanks! Fun league

  Ottomated Strike Zone on October 1, 2024 7:40 AM

• And that’s the season! Congrats Tyler on going back to back. I’ll be in touch re: prize money for our top finishers later this week.

  Los Pollos Locos 🐓 on October 1, 2024 7:07 AM

• LOL. no 'cheap' players allowed today.

  A VAN down by the River on September 30, 2024 7:55 PM

• Andy, you are they exact opposite of fun!😝 Good Season everyone.

  The Hall of Very Good on September 30, 2024 6:58 PM

• I'm sure they will have it covered. For those loaded up with Braves and Mets it would be a nice finish.

  Los Pollos Locos 🐓 on September 27, 2024 11:16 AM

• Hopefully Ottoneu is prepared to handle the bizarre scheduling change that’s about to take place. Looking like a doubleheader between Mets and Atlanta on Monday

  My Oh My on September 25, 2024 3:51 PM

• Agree. It’s going to be back and forth all month.

  Los Pollos Locos 🐓 on September 3, 2024 9:35 PM

• Shaping up to be a very fun homestretch!

  My Oh My on September 2, 2024 11:02 AM

• Yea, I guess they assumed that C don't play every game and I guess they don't, but they still play 2/3rd at least. They really should up that limit , cause it's making C basically worthless.

  The Hall of Very Good on August 8, 2024 5:37 PM

• Just curious about something. I get having game limits per position and each position seems to have a decent limit on games other than Catchers. Given that there are 2 slots we can play per week, is there a reason why it's limited to still just 162 and not something higher, even like 250?

  Brunzer on August 8, 2024 1:46 PM

• Okay, I’m getting jealous of all these trades—I’m open for business!
