Thanks for reminder, tried but can't get in. Go ahead, please avoid, if you can, March 1st, 13, 16 and 31st, I have many drafts on those days. Thanks
-
Still waiting to hear from Big Papi, Hogs, and Beavers on the draft poll. Once they chime in, we can set the dates.
-
Went ahead and did this one. all times are Eastern time zone. Please go to the link below and respond when you get an opportunity. Please put your team name on your entry. Thank you!

I would prefer to keep the SP limits at 2/day, also pretty flexible for the draft

Who knew a group with vastly different vocations and locations would have scheduling conflicts? 😀 Bear with me guys, and I'll send you an email with a link to a scheduler that will hopefully reveal a time that accommodates everyone. I'll try to get to that this evening if I can. Thanks for your patience. Also, I see the vote is now 4-4 on the rule change.

I can’t do the weekend of the 19th. But I’m around on 12th and 26th from 3pm EST onwards.

Hi guys, UK member here, if the draft is only going be 4ish hours, I don’t mind if it starts at like 4pm -430pm EST rather than 3pm? If that’s makes a difference…
I’m 5 hours ahead of EST time over here so I know it’s a pain, but super appreciative that it’s being taken into consideration.

I can’t do March 12 (attending a wedding) but can do March 26/27 weekend.

Sorry to be difficult, but weekend afternoons with two little kids is tough for me.

League members kept 294 players with salaries totaling $3449. That leaves maximums of 186 draft picks and $1351 to spend. Maybe 4 hours, maybe less. Let's try to be considerate of our member in the UK and do a weekend afternoon draft if at all possible. 3PM eastern time works for me on Saturday March 12th, or Saturday March 26th. I can also do Sunday March 27th at the same time. If weekend afternoons are not possible for you, please speak up now and we'll try to get this worked out. thanks!!
-
I just re-read it and it looks like the vote is actually 4-3 in favor of the 10 start limit. If you have an opinion and wish to vote on this, please do so by Sunday night. We'll settle this issue at that time. Thanks!!!
-
We all made it through the deadline with legal rosters. I see a lot of other leagues did not. So thank you for that everyone! Also, welcome to our new members that joined up recently! With the labor situation remaining uncertain, I'm inclined to hold off on scheduling a draft right away. But I'd love to hear your thoughts. Also, we still have the unresolved issue about capping starts. Some want to cap the starts at 10 per week with 5 open slots, others want to keep it at 2 slots with no cap.

yes

is the cut deadline tomorrow or not?

Hey all, I don’t know if this is normal or not being our first year of Ottoneu but we figured we’d list the players we plan to cut here. If you think we are making a mistake and want one in a trade, we can trade for one of your cuts.

We still need to recruit one more player to join us. If anybody has any friends that are big Yankee fans, that open team is perfect for them. There are a dozen Yankees on that roster.

I think it's still tied at 3-3

As we move towards the keeper deadline, what’s the status of the SP vote? I’m not sure it’ll make differences for us at this point, but might for some.

I was asked what happens if you don't extend your dynasty by the 31st deadline. Here's what was posted in another league i'm in.
"If you don't pay by the deadline, Ottoneu will lock you out for 10 days, and ask you to pay. After 10 days, your team will go on the abandoned teams list."
Details here: https://community.ottoneu.com/t/renewal-dates/830
-
Just a reminder guys, the keeper deadline has been extended, but the renewal deadline has not been extended. You must renew by Jan31st or your team gets listed as an expired team and anyone will have the option of claiming your team. To renew, just go to your dashboard and on the far right, you'll see "extend your dynasty". Click on that and pay. Thanks!!!
-
I did not have a strong opinion either way. That is why I did not vote. But now that I am the tie breaker, I have looked at and thought about this for awhile. It is a tough call for me. I had a few weeks where I had to leave a good starter on the bench because I had 2+ going that day. That was frustrating. I can see the issue where a team can use up their 10 starts and then have the same issue happen at week's end. But with that said, I like the 5sp with 10 starts max rule.

Is the current vote count at 3-3? We need everyone to weigh in on this please. Thanks!

I'm going to mark Sonny's Blues as abandoned and work to find a replacement. If any of you know someone that will be more active, please let me know and we'll add them in. Thanks!

Anybody have any leads on a replacement manager for Blues?

Anyone have any contact with Sonny's Blues manager? he has stopped responding to me.

2 SP

2 SP. You’d actually lose more starts the other way and miss out on two start weeks with the added limitation.
-
5SP for sure

i vote for 5SP, 10 start cap. there's nothing more frustrating than missing out on a start from one of your best pitchers by happenstance.

majority will rule.
I vote 2 SP. I like to see one of my guys out there every day.

5SP-reduce weekly luck factors
Is this majority rules? So like half+1 to overturn current rule, so 7 votes?

Option 1 is 5 SP lineup spots with a 10 start weekly cap. Advantage - This would eliminate situations where you have 3 or 4 good SP's going on the same day and you have to keep all but 2 on your bench.
Option 2 is 2 SP slots per day with no weekly limit - Advantage - it rewards teams with deeper quality SP's on the roster.
Please vote for 5SP or 2SP
-
It turns out that the compromise proposed is not an option. If we switch to 5 SP slots, we cannot choose a 14 start limit. This from Niv... "The max starts per week are 7-10. More than 10 starts in a h2h matchup is not available." So we have two options to vote for. I'll lay them out and we can vote.
-
Cool. 14 starts a week sounds fun.

Like most things in life, quality beats the hell out of quantity. I lost in the playoffs to a team with better pitching.
-
I didn't plan my team based on how many SP I thought I needed to roster, so its hard to answer your question. But it definitely helped to have a lot of SPs when you can start 2 max per day so you wanted to have options for multiple days. I actually think this way, you dont need as many because you can spread out your starts across the week. I think its up to each team to decide how to approach it but it will likely be easier than last year's system given the added flexibility
-
I mean as in how many SPs will we have to roster? Will it take up too much of our rosters, or will it be a reasonable amount? If it’s too many it probably limits strategy/team construction choices. If it’s a reasonable amount, then 14 starts a week is fine.
If it needed to roster more SPs than you guys rostered last year we could cut down the max starts by 1-3 to match what you guys had last year.
How many SPs did top teams routinely roster last season?
Olson Twins on

I am good with it
-
I would go for a change to 5 SP starting spots and 14 max starts per week (or the equivalent of 2 per day, for matchups that are more than 7 days, like the playoff weeks)
-
How many starting pitchers do you think we will need to reach 14 starts a week? Will that leave enough roster flexibility after that many starters?
Olson Twins on

I am good with what you laid out buy low
-
Devers, Hogs, and I finished 1,2,3 last season not solely because of deep SP roster, but it certainly helped a lot. So diminishing the SP role would hurt us a little more. But I think Devers' proposed compromise is very fair. One of the original complaints was having 3 good SP's pitching on the same day and having to sit one. Now having 5 SP slots should end that, but allowing 14 starts per week should no longer penalize the deep SP teams. I would vote for the compromise right away. Thoughts?
-
We are new to Otto and didn’t play last season so don’t have the feel of how many starters is ideal etc with 2 SP slots a day.
To me the con of the 2 SP a day is on days when you have 2+ starters that happen to be pitching.
Did 2 SPs a day last season always result in 2 SPs started a day? I guess that would be necessary to compete really right?
Getting to pitch your SPs when you’d like I think is the aim. The max #/week doesn’t matter to me but greatly a

Question to the group about the proposed rule change: Is the goal to have added flexibility of when you start folks or something else? As of now, you can theoretically have 14 starts in a week, if you use 2 per day.
It would make sense to me to simply make it so that you can use those 14 starts however you like, including 5 on the same day if that’s how your starters line up. Setting it at a lower number of 10 doesn’t make sense to me though, Can you explain why you’re cutting down
-
This quote from Niv Shah regarding the MLB labor dispute and how it may affect Ottoneu leagues...
"I might be a little too optimistic but I believe that we won’t have a shortened season but may need to see a slightly delayed keeper deadline, to something like February 15 or so. I’ll update this thread in a couple of weeks based on what is going on then."

Looking to trade pitching for hitting. Message us to see if we can find something that works.
