We've had an issue come up regarding an ambiguity in the Charter about draft eligibility. As currently stated, the Charter only makes players who are currently rostered ineligible for the Prospect Draft. We are bringing a proposed rule change to a vote. Please find details in the #rules-discussion channel on Discord.
-
Just a reminder that the prospect draft starts tomorrow, Thursday, on Discord. There will be a 12 hour timer per pick, which resets after each pick is made. It will be important to keep an eye on the Discord during the draft period. Looking forward to it! First pick opens at noon.

Yepez has been added to the restricted list.
-
Fun fact: I’ve tweeted about Juan Yepez a few times and whenever I do his dad finds the tweet and likes it. I think his dad just regularly searches his son’s name on Twitter because he is so proud of him. 😭
-
My bad on that last auction. Drunk baseball rostering, Yepez is not eligible for auction right now
-
(for the duration of only that season, I believe).
-
Think of loans as the team "eating some salary" of an outgoing player. For example, if I trade my $20 Charlie Morton, I've already allocated $20 to him. I can sweeten that deal by agreeing to loan $5, which would mean I only free up $15 of Morton's cap space on my end, but they get an extra $5 on theirs.
-
how do loans work? how can you loan money that you do not have?

Sorry if my trade proposals submit twice, it is almost always an unintentional form resubmission issue when I reopen an old tab on my phone.

Draft night #2 begins tonight at 6 pm ET. Collectively, it looks like each person has around 20 players left to draft. We anticipate this could take anywhere from 2.5 - 4 hours. But also note, if you are satisfied with your roster, you are free to leave at any point in the evening. See you all soon!
-
Auction starts at 6 pm ET. See you all soon!
-
Reminder: our Auction Draft will take place THIS SUNDAY and MONDAY night at 6PM EST.
Details and procedures have been posted in the Discord. Looking forward to an excellent season!

Hello, team owners! Just a friendly reminder that we are just a few weeks away from our Auction Draft (March 6 at 6 PM ET and March 7 at 6 PM ET). Looking forward to it!

I have a start-up dynasty league on CBS. 16 teams. $100. One team left.

Sunday sounds great to me.
-
Sunday would work for me as well.
-
No problem for me on Sundays
-
Great to see the league full! Now that we have everyone, I was wondering how everybody feels about moving the draft to a Sunday? I work in the service industry and usually work Saturdays. I can make it work if need be though.

whoops, discord link got cut off: https://discord.gg/aJeFSjdY

Good question! So there will be an Annual Auction which we will conduct via Ottoneu. That's for the 40 man roster. There will also be a few annual Prospect Drafts for the 15 MiLB$0 players. That will be a slow draft and we were intending to do that manually, which is how previous leagues have done it. Details are in the Charter, which I am about to post for everyone to look at.

Do we use Couch Managers for auction draft ?
-
Also, for the people with fantasy backgrounds who are newer to Ottoneu, there are a lot of great resources out there. PitcherList has some very helpful primers (shorturl.at/moCHT) and there are some great articles on FanGraphs (https://fantasy.fangraphs.com/category/ottoneu/). I definitely recommend reading through the Ottoneu rules since there are some important details re: roster management that you should be familiar with. If anyone has questions, you can also send me or WANDER a message!
-
Our league is really filling out. Only one spot left to fill! WANDER and I are putting together a google doc with the league charter and a google spreadsheet for our minor league draft. Once we are at 12 we will send that around and everyone can have a chance to look at it, ask questions, and discuss changes.
-
Welcome!!
-
Welcome friend! So glad to hear we have Canadian baseball friends in the league. As a Rays fan, I expect to watch my team’s games there soon enough. 🤷🏼♂️ 🍁
-
Hi everyone - greetings from Ottawa, Canada - thanks for asking me to be a part of the League. Look forward to it
-
Welcome! Together as a league, I think it’s very possIble we can get Mike Trout to the playoffs.
-
Howdy howdy to the new folks :)
-
Glad to be part of the league! Looking forward to this and having a great time with y'all.
-
Welcome Antics, Velour, and Harps! Great question Antics - All prospects can be bid on in the Auction (which will fill out each team’s 40 man roster); the penalty is just that they will cost money and roster space. There will be a separate MiLB draft (each team will draft 15 players that will not be a part of your team’s $400 budget). Greendale Human Beings and I are going to spell this out in more detail in our league constitution, which we will submit for your review.
-
Thanks! Excited. Quick question. Are we allowed to bid on prospects at the auction or are all prospects confined to MiLB rosters?
-
Welcome to all the newcomers! Excited to see the league fill out.
-
Welcome Turtles! Glad to have you.
-
Welcome!
-
Thanks gents - looking forward to it!
-
Welcome Wesley!
-
I see we have new blood on the roster )
-
Not sure about the Gruffalo but I'll have to look it up now!
-
If the Fluffalo is anything like the Gruffalo, I think this name change is deserving of long term consideration. In any case, welcome! So glad you decided to join the league.
-
Hello there and welcome! I think you will really enjoy Ottoneu, so user friendly and excellent format for year long engagement
-
Howdy folks, glad to be here as well! I'll change the name up after the draft if I can come up with something clever :)
New to Ottoneu but have a good few years under my belt playing dynasty over on CBS. My leagues have all folded over there though so taking this opportunity to shift over to what I keep hearing is *the* way to play.
Looking forward to it!
