Friendly reminder to anyone interested - there's still time to sign up for the Ottoneu Prestige League (OPL). It's a great add-on to the normal Ottoneu experience as teams from across leagues compete against each other in a best-ball style, survivor-like format. It's a blast to track and play over the course of the season. Check it out and enter here: https://ottoneu.fangraphs.com/opl/

Good work everyone! I appreciate you all being timely and efficient in your drafting. We are now in regular season mode and transactions are open. Good luck all!
-
Hey party people - reminder that the DRAFT IS TONIGHT at 9:00pm eastern. See you all there!
-
Hey crew! Just a reminder that we're set to draft this coming Thursday, March 14th at 9:00pm eastern.
If anyone has a hook up with Snell and Montgomery's agent, I'd appreciate you telling them to get a move on.
-
3-14 at 9 eastern works for this left coaster
-
Sorry, Yes as long as it's passed 7 pm Central I can make it work.
-
Let’s pencil in 3/14 for our draft date. Would a 9:00pm eastern start be a problem for anyone?
-
I can make 3/14 for sure. 3/10 might be tough but possible
-
Big thanks to All Proofs & Devil Dogs - you rock.
MacTown - Can you make either 3/10 or 3/14?
Smallville - Same question - can you make 3/10 or 3/14?
-
And I can make 3/10 work as long as it is evening.

Thanks for the feedback all - looks like MacTown Maulers is the only team that still needs to mark dates. The current clubhouse leaders are 3/6 (good for everyone but Camden), 3/10 (good for everyone but Devil Dogs), 3/13 (good for everyone but Camden), and 3/14 (good for everyone but All Proofs). Unfortunately there aren't any universally acceptable dates, so we'll need to find a work around for someone. I'll check in with MacTown and then we'll pick a date. Appreciate everyone taking the time!

I can't do the 16th. Couldn't get the link to work

Ignore my entries for Adam and port city plungers. They are dupes. I’m good. -Adam
-
As for the draft, it looks like everyone has put their name in, but I’m not seeing availability from Adam Ackerman, Drew, and Port City Plungers. If you fellas could go in and mark your availability I’d appreciate it. It doesn’t look like we have any universally acceptable dates yet so once we get everyone in I’ll narrow it down and reach out to those with a conflict. I’d like to get this locked in this weekend. Thanks all!

He also reached out to me and said he accidentally cut Paul Skenes and should be added back to his roster at the $24 salary.
-
Hey all - Camden Yard reached out and let me know that he’d accidentally cut Dylan Crews. He had acquired him two days before the deadline and I believe the drop was inadvertent so I’ve added him back to his roster.
-
DRAFT: We need a draft date! With the season starting earlier than ever let's get a date booked quickly. Please go to the following link and mark the days you would be available to draft. Let's assume a 9:00pm eastern start time for now and we can finalize that when we have a date. Let's try to get this picked by the end of the week. Thanks!

Hey there crew! Some quick housekeeping:
SLACK: There is an awesome Ottoneu Slack community you all are welcome to join. It's a great place to chat about baseball and Ottoneu with a bunch of cool, engaged people. If there's enough interest I can also form a league specific channel in which we could chat. If you want to check it out just post your email address on this thread and an admin will add you: https://community.ottoneu.com/t/ottoneu-on-slack/5774/521

Yay!! Welcome Drew!

I’ll get a poll together for the draft date here in the next day or two.
-
Let’s all welcome Drew who is taking over Star Lounge for us! Drew is an Ottoneu vet and will have a free round of cuts. Thanks for stepping in Drew!
-
Unless I hear otherwise from Star Lounge I’ll start looking for a replacement owner.
-
Good deadline day folks - thank you for getting your teams renewed and your cuts made. It looks like Star Lounge may be out. They didn’t make their cuts or renew their team. I’ve tried messaging and emailing, but haven’t gotten a response - though the system shows they’ve logged in as recently as today.
-
Last 12 hours to make any cuts or trades, so be sure you get legal! Don't forget any trade made before tonight's deadline won't process until tomorrow, so you won't be able to cut anyone you acquire. Be sure you get your league dues paid today as well.

Also to think he is the second coming is not accurate. It will be interesting to see what he does in 2024.

He was top 50 prospect according to mlb in 2021. Maybe the Guards felt like he was blocked at his primary position 3b by one of the best doing it in jram? I do have some shares of Nolan Jones in fantasy but will not even pretend to say I saw it coming. Characteristic as some chump just is not accurate.

Obviously you must’ve been listening and referring to some Analytical Baseball Reference to want Nolan Jones after a major league franchise deemed him no good..
-
What do the experts at pitcher list thing????
-
So why would the Guardians front office, one of the top respected front offices in the game send him away then in just under a year of playing time in Cleveland? The Guardians main off-season goal every off season has been looking for an offensive-minded outfielder with power and you are telling me they just let this “GEM” walk away in favor of Oscar Gonzalez..Something does not smell right..
-
Home and away splits for Jones are pretty even last year. BA home .306 and away .288. He had 10 dingers at home and 10 away. I am not saying he is the next Troutor anything but also I do not believe his breakout was solely because of Coors field.

Where is all this Fantasy Baseball LOVE and FASCINATION for Nolan Jones coming from? People are making him out to be the next Trout or Judge.. The Guardians traded him for an infield prospect, 1 guy whose not in even a top 5 prospect on their farm and yet everyone is reacting to a good surprising year helped by the Altitude and this guy’s the next Savior of MLB…
-
Hey all! Friendly reminder that you have one more day to pay your league dues. Thanks to all of those who have taken care of it already!
-
I've gotten a few offers for Langford and sent out some responses. If any one is interested let me know or shoot me an offer!
-
Hey all! Friendly reminder that you’ve got until Wednesday to get your league dues paid. Thanks to all those who have already knocked that out!
-
Great news - welcome Kyle!
-
And just like that, we’re back to full! Welcome to Kyle who has taken over 8-Ball Vikings. Here’s your reminder to get your league dues paid before January 31. Paid dues = happy commissioner!
-
I’m still working on finding a replacement for 8-Ball Vikings and wanted to put out another call to see if you folks knew of anyone looking for a league. If you’ve got someone please let me know. Thanks!
-
Just a quick reminder to renew your team over the next 9 days. Several have already done so, but we still have a few that need to complete. Thanks!
-
Really doing the hard sell here....
-
Just to confirm, PitcherList.com, one of the most MLB respected sites regarding pitching, has the top 10 SP’s right now as:
1. Gerrit Cole
2. Spencer Strider
3. Zack Wheeler
4. Luis Castillo
5. Corbin Burnes
6. Pablo López
7. Kevin Gausman
8. George Kirby
9. Zac Gallen
10. Max Fried
-
Hi fellow league members.. I have been getting trade proposals for Strider and Cole, who are right now, the 2 top SP’s in the game.. Please know I am not selling low on either of them..Strider is worth 2 top hitters plus a young talented SP or top closer..Cole is worth at least 2 top hitters..We can include other players in the deal, but you need to meet that worth..If Strider was dealt right now to the O’s, the Braves would want Henderson, Cowser or Mayo and Rodriguez…SM
-
I'm going to mark 8-Ball Vikings as abandoned while I continue to search for a new manager for that squad. Let me know if you have anyone who could take it over. Meanwhile, happy trading!
-
It looks like we have a new owner for the former AKA Big Papi (currently Charlie Manuel). Welcome to the league!
-
Hey crew! Hope everyone had a great holiday. Y’all have been doing some work here before the deadline and I love to see it. I’m looking for replacement owners for both Papi and 8-Ball. 8-Ball hasn’t logged in for several months, didn’t arb (I had a proxy arb for him), and hasn’t responded to my attempts to contact him. If anyone knows of someone looking to add a league please reach out. It’s always better to add someone people here might know. Happy trading!
-
2023 AL Cy Young Award Winner Gerrit Cole available for 2 high impact offensive performers...
-
Hey folks! Here's your friendly neighborhood reminder that arbitration needs to be completed by tomorrow.
-
10 days left to get your arbitration in!
-
Sorry to hear that Big Papi - best wishes to you in recovery!
-
Please abandon this team. I was victim of a stroke on Sep 15, so I will have to quit my part time job losing my Ottoneu spending money, anyway don't have the same energy to manage so many leagues, will be quiting many leagues. Sorry to let you down guys, thanks.
