Southside Pitchmen's trade block has been updated!
-
rBraves & Yu Stras ... you didn't allocate? But you have checked this site just about every day the past few weeks to see who was whacking your team with $. Are either of you planning to return? I do hope so. And Niv tells me there is something I can do to allocate for you and the three dead teams. Tell me guys, what give?

Mookie Monster's trade block has been updated!
-
Hey everyone, I just joined the league tonight and I'm very excited to take over this team and get it going! I set up my arbitration and should be ready to rock
-
Southside, and yeah, Yu! Make your allocations - we all gave you $3. We need the teams with the most talent to pay for it. There's no need to wait ... everyone likely to allocate except you and Braves has done so. Mookie is abandoned but that is a talented team. I would allocate for his future owner, I'd open it up for the league to vote on which players, but that is not among the commissioner's tools. I think our allocations will be complete when Southside, Yu, and rBraves do their thang.

I know but I wanted to take the trash out early. Depressing looking at them on my roster

I am not telling anyone how to manage his team but ... trading resumes Nov 15 and you can still cut guys right up to Jan 31. Maybe you should see if throwing in somebody you would cut anyway will help you swing a trade? Just sayin' ....

Someone should remove Winker - who is out for the season -from his Have list. That list is supposed to offer players for trades. Wink ain't available. Why must I continue to be Miss Manners?

OUR TRADE DEADLINE is August 31. Those wishing to make deals this year should get after it, and soon.

Niv has answered my follow up question I would think to your satisfaction. "Yep, that helps. I can see the set of cuts they made yesterday, and I'll make sure they are switched to penalty-free to make this easier on everyone. Thanks for reaching out." Niv Shah, Founder, Ottoneu Fantasy Sports

Well, you can see in the transactions that these are my first cuts. As commissioner couldn't you either adjust the penalties on this round (if this process is allowed) or add the players back on to my roster (if you've decided that penalty free cuts are not allowed)? Under commish tools tab, then current owners tab you should be able to confirm whether "p-f cuts" is checked for either me or Amherst.

Well, all I know is what Niv sent me, which I posted below. Contact Niv, but if you happen to have cut somebody before this round, that would explain the problem.

Hmm... doesn't seem to have worked. Just made all my cuts at once and still got charged the penalties.

New Teams Get a FREE Round of Player Cuts. I checked with Niv on how this works, is it a new rule, must the Commish take action to make it happen. Here is his reply: It's been in place for a while - when a team changes ownership, the site automatically gives them penalty-free cuts. One "round" means the first time they press "Cut Players" after they get the team. Subsequent cuts are normal.

Blowing up pitching staff- willing to entertain pretty much any offers. Need OF, 2B and/or Top of lineup (OBP/R) types. Willing to take declining Pitchers or project pitching prospects in the right deal.

Welcome and agreed East Amherst! I'm ready to do penalty-free cuts if you'll allow a round Magic Bus. I can't tell if you've given us access to them- can you confirm we're checked? FYI- Amherst, my understanding is that it is one round only- so cut all at once. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

East Amherst Elite's trade block has been updated!

Hey all; just assumed Young Sick Bacchus. New to Ottoneu and the 4x4 format, but not to fantasy baseball in general. Still feeling around the rules, settings, etc., but generally like to be active and make trades. Love the concept of the ottoneu game. Hit me up with trade offers.
Also, the rules say that new owners have a chance to make an initial round of 'cuts' w/o penalty. How is this defined? Any number of players as long as I cut them now, or a certain number of players? LMK.
-
Dude, 4X4 is either 20% simpler than 5X5, or 56% simpler depending on whether you see the relationship as linear or quadratic. Either way, you have a fine team, and next year we will all endeavor to give you a run for your dinero

Hi Folks! Just took over Argyle. Hope to enjoy the balance of the season. Likely willing to return (although 4x4 is a new format for me- running a H2H Fangraphs after running a ESPN Keeper league for years, until our complicated offseason forced us over to Ottoneu for my sanity). Give me a couple days to feel out the team and format and then trade offers may be entertained. Thanks for letting me on board!

Maybe I have been misreading Niv's price increase. Instead of dissolving existing leagues, I now read it to mean everyone will have to re-enlist before designating keepers. It will still be $20 a year, but - if I am correct - you will keep your existing team. Those who drop out will have their entire team acquired by a new owner willing to spend $20. SO, if there is a chance you will choose to re-enlist, by all means play out the season and go thru the allocation process. Make it competitiv

And you know what else? I think this is a fine opportunity to bring new owners in via the draft, as opposed to picking up the teams with the best players. Unclaimed teams' players should be drafted ... don't give them inherited talent ... let us all bid on Trout, Harper, and Mookie should their owners punt this league. Niv, you hear me? Yeah, I know you don't but WTF, this is the way this shit should roll.

If 7 or 8 of us want the league to survive is that possible? From what I read it is not. That sucks with sharp teeth. Does anyone else read a path to the survival of Whiskey & Women?

Anyway you can email the site and say they will be losing this league due to high price. Maybe if they get feedback, they will adjust.

Alt Stats and I used to run an ESPN league that had similar year-round rules as Otto except we did all of the "front office" type stuff manually with spreadsheets and commish tools. It was a huge pain; it can be done, but after doing that I'd gladly pay Otto $20 a year if I never have to again. Anyway, a league that doesn't have the depth that Ottoneu does will absolutely not hold my interest for a season, even if there's real money on the line, so I'll be here with whoever else stays.
-
We COULD form a Yahoo league in which each player brings over maybe a dozen to fifteen players. We CAN use the same categories -all but HR/9 - but even there we can just use total HR which works given innings limits. We CANNOT duplicate Otto's total auction format, although we can hold an auction draft. We CANNOT duplicate Otto's year round format.
Yahoo offers a better user interface, more accessible stats if more limited, and a choice between Roto and H2H.
Whaddaya'll think?

I like the format also, but $20 is steep. Any other sites we could transfer to that is similar?
-
I guess this league evaporates like the scent of a steaming pile of dog poop, but not before leaving a foul impression on nostrils and feet. League commissioners have the same info as you do. I enjoy Otto's format but don't disagree that $20 is steep for a no-payout league. I am paid up until mid-April, so I will hang in to the end. I do fear Women and Whiskey is history come November. I have a free Yahoo H2H league that often has an opening or two. Contact me at pizzled@yahoo.com.

I'm with you, Bacchus. My team expires July 8th, I see no point in paying $20 for a team when there's no payout.

My team expires at the end of the month and I don't think I'll be renewing seeing as how prices just doubled.
