Love your little tidbits Oz

Front-office executives like to divide the season into thirds. The first third is all about evaluation: figure out where the strengths and weaknesses of the roster lie. The second is about action: make the trades or acquisitions necessary to fulfill the team’s goals. The final third revolves around results: play out the schedule and see what happens.

Thanks, I thought it was only when a player was claimed that the penalty went away. I will begin manipulating this system going forward. The rules said "claimed" so I thought claimed meant literally claimed.

Ozking, if you cut him at $30 you immediately clear up $15 in cap and have the $15 penalty. Since someone else bought him, your $15 penalty goes away. Had no one else bought him, you would be stuck with that penalty for 30 days. After 30 days you could have bought him back for $15, then immediately cut him again. That cut at $15 would have cleared up $7 for you and your penalty would be down to $8. 30 days after that you could have bought for $8 and cut him again, etc. etc. etc.

If another team wins the auction, your penalty goes away entirely.
-
Luis had to go or I wasn't going to make it until July. Interesting after the auction my cap penalty disappeared. Is that supposed to happen? I thought I was still going to be on the hook for another 15 because I cut him.

Big papi from the top rope on Luis. I saw chimp creating some space but by gawd did you come in hot, well won enjoy him.
-
sent out a few springer deals after talking to a few of you. If I missed anyone and they want in on it send over your offer
-
Look at the category standings. The difference between 1st place and 5th place on most of them is incredibly small. This is a very competitive league so far. I hope that continues all year!

Re: cut players. Once you cut someone, you can't even bid on them during the 30 day window. I had thought it was that you couldn't start the auction for them during the 30 day window. I tried to bid on Riley, but was not allowed.

Bruiser - Brian Cashman and Yankees fans have been saying the same thing each time Gerrit Cole takes the mound.

Definitely up & down, Bruiser. And the injuries. Mine are Soto, Mookie, Strasburg, Moustakas, Kepler, Cain, Wong, Cueto, and Archer plus the 3 I stashed. :O
-
My pitchers accumulated 30 strikeouts today with a whip below 1. Great day, right? Nope. My hitters went 4 for 45 and scored exactly 1 run. This game dispenses so much joy and misery, I love it.

Yes, and you can then drop the player again and effectively cut your penalty in half. Only caveat, you must wait 30 days past when the cut was made before you can initiate the auction.
-
RE: cutting players and cap penalties. Does the salary cap penalty go away if the cutting team re-auctions them and wins the bid?

Hope Akil Baddoo is legit. Could be the basis for some great potential fantasy baseball team names.

I've never played an Ottoneu team before. This economic model for a keeper league sounds so much better than any other format I've seen. I'm really excited about it. Good luck to everyone, especially you tMB guys that joined in. I hope you all finish tied for 2nd place.

resume the draft until we have everyone ready.
-
All right everyone, I'm going to go ahead and lock us in for the draft to start Tuesday the 30th at 8:00 EST. I'd like us to try and get the draft done in two nights, so I'm thinking we run until around 12:00 EST. Then, we will resume and finish the draft on Wednesday. I'm going to try and have that start at 9:00 instead of 9:30, but we'll see. I'll do my best to get in as early as I can so we don't run too long that night. I'll post a message here when I'm available on Wednesday and won't

Central time...I'm flexible on a time both nights

5 pm PST/8 pm EST is great for tomorrow. 6:30 pm EST works for Wednesday, but unless we go long one or both nights...I'm guessing we will almost certainly need another session to wrap up.
-
east coast guy as well but good with whichever drafy times. just glad this league populated over night
-
East coast based as well.
Like the idea of moving up to 8pm on Tuesday.
Can do Wednesday starting at 930pm.
Thanks

Either works for me, I'm Pacific time, but either time still works.

Both times work for me. I'm in Eastern Time.

Now that everyone is here, we can discuss the draft. I think breaking it down into two nights is the best way to go about it. Tuesday at 9 is what we've got for the first night although I can move it up to 8 if people prefer. As for Wednesday, I wont' be able to start earlier than 9:30. How does that sound to everyone? And I'm speaking in terms of EST. Do we have people in other time zones?
-
it takes some time most leagues im in are like two nights of like 3.5 hours give or take thirty. at least for the initial drafts like these.
-
How long does an Ottoneu draft take? Recognize that individuals can drop off the draft at any point in time, but what is a reasonable estimate to get through ~30-35 rounds with 12 people (360 to 400 nominations)?

Happy to join your league, I guess I didn't have enough leagues on my plate, my wife is filing for baseball divorce, nah she's happy that I'm having fun as a baseball and since a couple of years Ottoneu addict. I guess I was the 12th team joining, what are the plans for the draft, March 30 at 9:00, 2nd draft night planned (for my own planning purposes)
-
Glad to be here, folks. Good luck to all.
-
Yeah, that's fine. I'm still sending out invites and looking for guys. I got someone yesterday, and have a couple others tentative. But feel free to send out requests however you'd like. The draft is set for Tuesday right now, and I'd like to not have to delay it if possible. Thanks.
-
We need to send those invites out to everyone we can think of.
