We usually do week nights. How about the Tues. or Wed. prior to the season? 8 or 9pm works for me.
-
I can't do the 26th unfortunately but I am in Eastern time. I'm available most other days
-
I live in mountain time
-
Who lives in the Pacific Time Zone? Who lives in Mountain? Our problems are lessened if none of us do. Please advise; we are having major difficulty figuring out a draft time when all can participate. How about Saturday, March 26 at noon Eastern?

I have 3 drafts on Sat. April 2nd at 2,2 & 2:30. If we can change this that would be great.
-
My schedule has changed and now I can't make the draft.
-
I work at 2 mountain time so pushing it 1 hr would be rough for me
-
Does anyone object to moving our auction back an hour? We can still do that. Please advise.

I’ll be late. I don’t get home from work until 2 cdt. I can’t afford anyone over a dollar anyway so it won’t matter.

Season Opener is April 7. I have scheduled our live auction draft to commence at 2:00 p.m. EDST on April 2. That's a Saturday, not April Fool's Day, late enough for West Coasters with hangovers to feel the aspirin kick in, late enough for Easterners to attend church and go to Luby's or Golden Corral, and early enough nobody has to get up early.
Be there.

Good. Then SSP is ready to draft.
Oh, about that CBA ... we have to wait to see a deal and a timetable before we can set a draft date. A ton of FA's are out there. If and when they come to terms I will try to line up a draft date, on a weekend around midday Central roughly ten days before Season Opener. If there is no season soon, we as a league must consider whether we want to do a draft for off-season trades and such, presumably to include FA's. (I'll bid on Freddie Freeman

All set with my cuts

You had all the right answers tho, definitely interested in the long haul in W&W
-
Beek is the onliest (a blues term) guy who has ever asked me questions about this W&W. I told him being female's not required, most of us like women although to my knowledge no females have been in Women & Whiskey in my six years here. I told him if he is a she that is cool with us. He asked if we are active. I responded with accepted trade numbers from 2021.
I am among the world's worst interviewers: I suck at reading people.
But I like Beek.

Niv posted that he will not postpone the keeper deadline again, so it's tomorrow, one minute before midnight. Drop all the players you do not want to keep. (Read the thread "Due to lockout, Ottoneu ... keeper deadline delayed".)

Welcome Kev.

Alright, I am ready to trade now. Make me offers! ;-) kidding.

Welcome, Kev Perk. We are very glad to have you here in W&W. If we get most of a season you'll have a lot of fun; full-season leagues are the best.

Hi. I just claimed Stats. This is my first Ottoneu league.
-
Pluko, hello from all of us at Women & Whiskey. While I know little about either, it seems a good name for a league. And you have a solid core of players to build on. Welcome to our cyber world.
Ah, 21 days remain to sweeten your roster via trades. A word to the wise?

Hi
Just claimed the M C C - second year of Ottoneu, loved my first year and fancied a change from FanGraphs scoring - I like a trade, just be gentle with me
-
Hi all - due to changes in circumstances MCC will unfortunately have to withdraw from the league. League dues have already been paid, so hoping a replacement will be easily found.
All the best for 2022, and let's hope we don't miss out on too much baseball.

At the very least, update your Wanted and Available sections of your Trading page. People need a bit of guidance as to player characterics being sought and available.

I am willing to trade but you got to get better at your offers. I will see what I can put together as well.

I will be looking to make a few trades this off season. I have a lot of cap space and a lot of young talent. If you have an offer message me or send it and we can talk. I will be updating my trade block in the coming days . Let's make some magic

Still a bunch of teams that haven’t done arb?

Uh, 11:59 p.m.

I have never been sure whether "Arbitration ends Nov 14" refers to 12:01 a.m. or 12:59 p.m. on that Sunday. It might be wise to finish up on the 13th.

Just a reminder: This Sunday is the last day to lay down your arbitration dollars. If you haven't done so already, please make sure that you get this done. Thank you.

Arb done for the MCC, barring any small alterations

My arbitration is complete.

All our rosters are legal now! And we still have over three weeks to handle Arbitration.

The IP minimum of 1250 simulates for us in Otto the pain MLB teams feel using sub-optimal starters to complete the season. In all of MLB there were 70 pitchers who had 150 or more IP in 2021. 20 had ERA over 4.00, and 16 carried WHIP greater than 1.25. That leaves less than 50 SP with decent ratios and high IP, 4 or 5 per team on average. The upside to throwing way over 1250 IP lies in K's. A balance of reaching 1350 IP favors good ratios, more K's, and your arm stats count. Get more SP!

The innings pitched minimum requirement is standard for all Ottoneu 4x4 leagues. With a little effort and planning it is easily achieved. In most leagues meeting the innings minimum is not an issue.
Sgt. Pepper on
October 16, 2021 2:36 PM

Can we change the IP min. 7 of the 12 teams didn't hit it this year. They would seem to indicate it being too high. If not that's fine, I'll adjust just questioning it
-
Hey everybody.
A few things. We have a replacement for Good Hitting Pitchers. That's great. Does anybody have a thought on Alternative Stats team? Has historically been very active but has been a no show since early July.
Finally, please have a legal roster going into arbitration (October 15). If not, I reserve the right to make it legal.
Thank you and enjoy the post season.

Hey all,
I just made a claim and am now the proud new owner of Good Hitting Pitchers. I played with 1 ottoneu league this year after many years of hiatus and had a blast. Excited to meet everyone
-
Well done, and hard earned congratulations to Sgt. Pepper. This was his first full season in W&W and he won it all with one of the league's 2 or 3 best seasons in history. And he called his shot: "Just so you know....I have a solid, 2nd place team this season. The question is, who will take top prize"?

Good Hitting Pitchers informed me of his decision not to return to the league. I have posted his team as abandoned. There are currently several teams on the abandoned list. Alternative Stats has been missing since July 7. It is entirely possible that we may be needing a replacement for that team. I am going to wait to abandon his team. He is generally a very active owner and having too many teams on the abandoned list may scare away potential replacements.

As the season comes to an end please remember;
1. Friday is the last day to start a draft on a player. You cannot add players after the season ends on Sunday.
2. Please make sure your roster is legal going into the offseason.
3. If you do not plan on returning please let me know asap so we can find a replacement for you.
