Closers available via trade (Kenley Jansen and Matt Barnes). Looking for cap relief and willing to take back a cheaper player or 2.

We have all of our new owners now. Tim Dee takes over the Rocco Rescue organization. The arbitration/allocation process has begun. We have one team that has finished (although you can make any changes up until the deadline). The deadline is Nov 14th. You either do it and take advantage of this process and bump up your competitors player values OR you don't and you are a jerk face.
-
Part 2: Allocations take place after the initial offseason salary increase, so any allocations will be in addition to the $1 or $2 increase each player gets at the end of the season.
If a team does not allocate at least one dollar to every other team, none of their allocations will count and it will be as if they did not participate at all.
If a team does not allocate all $25, none of their allocations will count and it will be as if they did not participate at all.
-
Part 1: The allocation system gives a $25 budget to each team in the league.
The team must allocate this budget towards players on other teams.
Each team must allocate at least one dollar to every other team, and no team can allocate more than $3 to any other team.
At the end of the allocation period, all players have their salary increased by the amount allocated towards them.
-
Hello Otto-Nerds. Reminder (or perhaps 1st time news to you): The arbitration process starts this Friday, Oct 15th. And I believe it runs to Nov 14th at 11:59pm. We are doing the ALLOCATIONS process; NOT the Vote Off. I will post rules here next. But you can always go to Rules page. This is under section for Offseason. We still need to replace the owner for Rocco's Rescue if anyone knows a dude to ask.

Thy end is here. In our inaugural season, Bunze of Steal take home the Championship! Kings of the Ottoneu. Pretty impressive. My Passion is my Hobby takes 2nd place. And the Mysterious Moe Tucker rounds out the Top 3. Bunze has been sent $400 (owed $1,200 more). Quis is paid out. Passion is owed $400 ($600 - $200 unpaid league fee).
We need payment from
Milt
Nick
Rob
Woody
Colin
Andy Slatken

Doug K
Just send to me to

Bob is a terrible Commish, so technically I don't recall prize payouts being finalized. But we had a group text over the summer and I suggested
Champ = $1,600
2nd = $600
3rd = $200
Total pot is 12x$200 = $2,400
Nobody objected (or commented), so let's just go with that
-
Hey fucksticks. 3 more days of action. Still need payment from most. Only received from Bunze, Quis, and Hutch. Fee is $200. Obviously new guys Spink and Sith Lords can disregard, no payment from you gents. And if you are looking likely for top 3, you can hold off. All others can either pay me on Venmo = @bstines82 OR just wait to pay winners direct next week.

There is a 2nd owner listed

Who want's Yu Darvish???

There is no doubt in my mind Ohtani turns into a $40+ player this off-season.

Wow- people are really fired up over the Ohtani trade. Glad I was able to finally get some dialogue with you guys...I'm still trying to learn as I go along with this different format. No collusion, for sure..

Are we doing arbitration where we add $ to a players value from other teams?

Nick, I thought the same thing, but read over the allocations and vote off (off season). I seriously doubt he stays at $16.

Buttsmella looking for some pop and starting pitching. any of ya'll who arent playing for it this year feel free to let me know who is available or make an offer. with the rules in ottoneu being a bit different than in other leagues i am sure there are higher priced guys people would like to offload for some assets for next year.

Ha i totally over sold it

Let the Wander Franco offers commence!!!

Crazy Horse wouldn’t meet the price of just a 5 minute Zoom session to talk baseball and a scrub for Goldy, so I went with the best offer out there.

Goldy on the move!

Goldy’s 212 average with one homer was helpful Trouble?

Anyone want Goldy? Since I traded for him a couple weeks ago, I've climbed in the standings from 10th place to 4th place.....I think Crazy Horse was on to something with him. I don't really need him, since I have an extra 1b. Crazy Horse you in???
-
Thanks Chico....it was just a suggestion back in March but seemed like a misunderstanding throughout the league. Never actually wanted him. Let's see if we can get these trade offers a bit more balanced guys. Thx

Gentlemen.....just an FYI that when I made the suggestion before auction night that we use a good but not elite player such as Paul Goldschmidt to kickoff the bids was simply to get the hang of this new website......it never meant that I was huge Goldy fan or that I really wanted him on my team. He was just a guy that was good enough to start a solid bidding process on and would cost some money but not Trout or Acuna money. I have no interest in Goldschmidt and never have. Matt Olson is my 1B

jb bukauskas got the win for a delayed game 4/20 completed 4/21 with the reds. I dont think ottoneu has included it in my totals. he was in my lineup both days. other pitcher's stats Amir Garrett for example ugg) from that game were included as per normal just not his.
-
I would look to trade, but i have no idea how any of this works, so why risk it. I already learned my lesson
-
So anyway, i have about 24 hours until this trade becomes official and I have an invalid lineup. If anyone is looking for a free player (in terms of not having to trade another player back to me), hit me up. It's a fire sale over here. Come get it!
-
But also.... I can make a trade or trades in which I give up a player and receive nothing back in return. So I need to let you all be aware. If anyone is interested in one of my sexy catchers, they are available. I will literally trade you one for nothing. The only thing you would need to do is have the roster space and financially flexibility to do it. I imagine people would have to make cuts to make it work. But if you see a trade and think "what the fuck!? Grandal for nothing?" That
-
Hey gang! We have ourselves a Lesson's Learned that I would like to share. I made a trade giving up 2 and getting back 5. I thought since I was putting 4 guys on the IL, I would open up those roster spot totals. I checked with our hairy Commish and he thought same. We were wrong. Roster spots only open up for 60 day IL (also suspension, covid, and opt outs). So now I will have to cut 3 players. Live and learn as they say.
-
Also, this isn't a standard league. We can't customize anything. Like the Dude, we must abide. The setup is the setup. I have spoken.
-
Happy MLB opener day y'all. As self appointed Co-Commish, I wanted to lay down some law since Rob is soft as the Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man. This is a new and somewhat complicated league. Mistakes are going to be made. But we shall live and learn from these mistakes. There shall be no administrative over-ride to undo mistakes. Before all is said and done, I bet half the league will get themselves into trouble. Part of the fun will be getting yourself out. Like Steve Cohen did with the SEC.

Excellent Work Mr. Commishes.....thanks for the help. Will be more careful going forward. -Hutch

So please do not claim Mountcastle as we work through this situation with the Help Desk. Brand new website and way of doing things. It’s just a mistake that we are trying to get fixed. Hopefully within the next 24 hours. Thanks fellas

I added Danny Duffy and cut Julio Teheran both at a buck. It put me over $400 at $401. I didn’t know about any kind of cap hit. So the only way I could make my lineup legal was to cut Mountcastle. I tried every single combination to make my roster legal as you can see I cut Pivetta too. We have a request in to the help desk to simply restore my roster to what it was before the Duffy add. I don’t want Duffy if it ends up putting me over the cap and needing to cut Mountcastle.

I am gonna cut Mountcastle and let him clear waivers and then do whatever is needed to re-add him. Nobody claim him please. I’m simply trying to get my roster legal for Thursday. Thanks

So I add Danny Duffy for a buck and then cut Pivetta at a buck. Even exchange right? Nope. I get a cap hit that makes me illegal at $401. Okay so I try cutting more players at $3 and $2 and $1 and nothing makes me legal. The only way to get legal now is to cut Mountcastle at $8. All for the $1 Danny Duffy? This is nuts. Is there anything that can fix this Rob? Can I cut Mountcastle and then figure out a way to re-add him? These rules are very odd but tried everything and nothing else works.

Those two haven’t pitched in a professional baseball game yet. They will need to earn SP eligibility. All players by default are Util, but I generally don’t add eligibility to players manually unless they player internationally previously or if they are pitchers called up to the majors in their first pro year (like Garrett Crochet last year, I believe?)

Tried that but it will only let me move to the Minors......I cannot change Utility to SP or RP....so they remain under Hitters.....weird

You should be able to fix on your own. When you go to team, make sure you go to “roster organizer.” From there you can click on position and it allows you to switch. You can switch to minor league spot. Works for me... except they refuse to allow me to place Michael Lorenzon as RP. They are insistent that he be an OF on offense. Does he still play offense? I won’t stand for it. Gonna talk to Niv.
