• I am abandoning this team, named “X”, at the beginning of the auction draft because it is not what I signed up for. The first player nominated, Mookie Betts, was bid up by a person in bad faith to $87 in an obvious attempt to catch someone by surprise at the beginning of the auction and stick them with a player above value. That unsuspecting person was me, and no one else seemed to care that this is not fair sportsmanship. I signed up to play in a serious league with serious players, not with cl

• I came to Ottoneu looking for something different from Yahoo where no one seems to care to do anything about members who play unethically. Last night I found out through an incident in another league that Niv Shah doesn’t seem to care about ethical game play either. So out of principle, I won’t be participating in this league or any other on this site, and I’m dumping my team. If any of you have issue with it, please take it up with Niv. My email with him:

• I also wish I had read the instructions before the draft. Who would have thought that was so important? 😁

  Chin Music Choir on March 25, 2021 1:20 PM

• I wish I understood the salary cap rules more clearly during the draft - Rookie mistake, but wont let it stop me...game on fellas game on!!!

• i suggest updating your trade block. makes it easier to see who's available in considering trades

  Knowznothin on March 24, 2021 12:34 PM

• Looking to add pitchers and cap space in exchange for any of these guys, and I like multi-player deals.
  
  Batters:
  
  Story
  Ozuna
  Freeman
  Abreu

• I spent all my cash on the auction not realizing that it was intended for the whole season, so I will be forced to drop someone of significant value within the month in order to free up cap space. But before I do that, if anyone would like to trade for any of my players, please send offers. Any of the following guys are available, and I am easy to work with on trades, especially right now.
  
  Pitchers:
  Cole
  Kershaw
  Bauer
  Darvish
  Edwin Diaz
  
  Bat

• wow jeff sullivan is in our league

  Knowznothin on March 23, 2021 7:54 PM

• I nominated Moose, so its back to the commish to start tonight

  Bloom's Onions on March 23, 2021 2:28 PM

• We should be back to the top of the list (me) for nominations when we resume tonight.

  Providence Grays on March 23, 2021 1:28 PM

• Does anyone remember who nominated Moustakas? It would be nice to pick up the nomination order where we left off so we all get the same amount of nominations.

  Knowznothin on March 23, 2021 1:11 PM

• If you click the double arrows icon at the top of the page, that will bring you to the trade block

  Rock the Casasbah on March 23, 2021 11:20 AM

• Is there a trade block? I’m looking to put kris Bryant and javier Baez on there haha

  Sweet Spot on March 23, 2021 11:17 AM

• anyone want to trade for Moustakas? I didn't really want him at $10

  Knowznothin on March 23, 2021 12:00 AM

• I also think we should draft all the way through. That only seems fair to different draft strategies.

  Reignmen Inc. on March 22, 2021 7:48 PM

• Let's draft all the way through.

  Knowznothin on March 22, 2021 7:45 PM

• Yeah just throwing out if we wanted to draft, for example 3.5 hours each night, then if not finished, do waiver auctions for whatever is remaining. Preferably we'd draft all the way through.

  Providence Grays on March 22, 2021 7:43 PM

• No roster guidelines, just need to field a full MLB lineup, and no minimum innings pitched, the only limit is 10 GS per matchup. Check the rules at the bottom of the page for more specifics (think there's a link to an FAQ there too)

  Rock the Casasbah on March 22, 2021 7:38 PM

• Where are the roster guidelines listed? ie. What are the min and max at each position? And what is the minimum innings pitched?

  Chin Music Choir on March 22, 2021 7:36 PM

• What do you mean by set amount of draft time? Like total amount of time for each day, despite each manager's roster at the end?

  Reignmen Inc. on March 22, 2021 7:29 PM

• We'll definitely continue the draft tomorrow. I agree, I like having the break to re-group and strategize.

  Providence Grays on March 22, 2021 6:46 PM

• I think it's best to do it in 2 days. Just because the second day teams can prepare for who teams want and how much. Just gives extra time to strategize.

  Sweet Spot on March 22, 2021 6:45 PM

• i'd prefer to do the full auction draft

  Knowznothin on March 22, 2021 6:42 PM

• This is my first time as commish so if that's an option, I'm up for that. Also, if we want to come up with a set amount of time to draft, we can then do waiver auctions for the remaining players.

  Providence Grays on March 22, 2021 6:32 PM

• should we vote on nomination timer? maybe start at 30 seconds and then move to 15 or 20 once we all get used to it?

  Knowznothin on March 22, 2021 6:18 PM

• I'd say a draft normally lasts 6-7 hours total. If people are good at nominating players quickly, it should be closer to the six hour mark. It starts slower at the beginning, but picks up once the cheaper players are more likely to be nominated.

  Providence Grays on March 22, 2021 6:03 PM

• How long does an auction take on this site? I've done many on Yahoo and NFBC, but this is my first draft of any kind here.

  Chin Music Choir on March 22, 2021 5:51 PM

• Sorry for the delayed response. Yes, I've updated the draft time to 8:00 EDT for tomorrow. Plan is to get halfway through the draft tomorrow and then resume the draft same time Tuesday. Let me know if anyone has any questions.

  Providence Grays on March 21, 2021 7:24 PM

• so we good for tomorrow? 8pm?

  Twin Pines 🌲 on March 21, 2021 6:42 PM

• Sorry for the delay replying. I am good any evening.

  Chin Music Choir on March 18, 2021 12:55 PM

• Works for me. Thanks

  The Northsiders on March 17, 2021 7:14 PM

• I can do 8 if that helps everyone

  Sweet Spot on March 17, 2021 6:29 PM

• 8pm works for me

  Reignmen Inc. on March 17, 2021 2:55 PM

• Make it 5 for 8PM

  Rock the Casasbah on March 17, 2021 1:41 PM

• 8 pm works for me too!

  Seiya Prayer For My Team on March 17, 2021 1:23 PM

• 8pm would work for me as well

  Iron on March 17, 2021 1:17 PM

• Sounds good! 8 PM eastern start would work for me

  Barreled Souls on March 17, 2021 1:10 PM

• Sounds great. Looking forward to it. I could start at 8 pm EDT if helpful.

  Knowznothin on March 17, 2021 1:05 PM

• Thanks to everyone for responding so quickly to the draft date poll. It looks like next Monday and Tuesday nights will work best for most. Hopefully everyone can find a way to make it, but I obviously understand if people have to drop out. My plan is to start the draft at 9:00 PM EDT, however I'm open to starting it earlier depending on everyone's availability. We'll shoot for half the draft Monday and finish on Tuesday night. Feel free to contact me with any questions. Happy Planning!

• Yeah, it's just a placeholder for now. My plan is to break up the draft over a couple nights. If everyone could fill out the Doodle, I'll do my best to pick a couple nights that work for everyone.

  Providence Grays on March 15, 2021 8:25 PM

• is that draft date a placeholder?
