9 pm ET, 6 pm PT (it also says this in the green banner on the top of the page). BTW, I am planning to stream tonight, so if anyone else wants to join, let me know. Chris, I will get you a streamyard link later today.
-
What exact time does the draft begin tonight?
-
If you do it, I'd come on.
-
Another note: not confirmed yet as I'm still figuring out my plans that evening but I'm thinking I might try to stream the auction via the Keep or Kut YouTube channel. If anyone is interested in joining for some of the stream, let me know. We use streamyard so it's just straightforward to add and remove guests
-
Reminder that we are drafting on Wednesday evening! Please be on time!
-
The first cut is the deepest… Ready for the auction and have some 3B talent to deal once trading opens up later. Thanks for the patience while I got my bearings. Let’s go!

When will Sam be making cuts so we can start planning for the draft?
-
Hey all - few updates: 1) we are on for 3/6 so please make sure you are ready. If you need a proxy (like me) we can add them. 2) I have dual-proxies: Niv Shah, the creator of Ottoneu, will show up to act as commissioner and run the show. Michael Maude, an experienced Ottoneu 5x5 player, will be drafting for me. I have added them both to my team. 3) Sam is all set up. He and I are going to chat early this week so he can get a primer on Ottoneu before making his cuts. Any questions? Let me know!
-
Hey Sam, welcome to the league!
-
I fellow Fugee fan, nice! Welcome!
-
Welcome Sam!
-
Ready or not, here I come. You can't hide... Ok enough quoting the fugees. Looking forward to learning a lot this season and hopefully I won't be a SLEEPER through the season and end up a BUST. :)
Also when trading opens... who is trading me Cal Raleigh?

Sam pinged me (sounds like Eno pinged him) so we're chatting and he's looking over Ottoneu. Hoping he'll sign up soon. Meanwhile I just discovered my wife is traveling the week of our auction. I'm going to find a proxy to handle the auction for me so we don't have to reschedule. Turns out it's easier to find a proxy fantasy manager than a proxy dad for my kids. Whoever it is will be an experienced Ottoneu commish who can keep things running smoothly in my absence.
-
Hey Chad -- I think Joe Orrico (@JoeOrrico99) and Sam Wirsh (@SamFBB1) might be interested.

Hey all- I think we need to replace Sleeper and the Bust and hopefully soon since the auction is coming up. I'd like to maintain this as a league for podcast(er)s. If any of you know of someone who might be interested, let me know.
-
Seems reasonable to me. Thanks, Chad!

I can process those cuts for you, DVR. In exchange, I'll need you to dedicate an episode of Rates and Barrels to what a great commissioner I am. Eno has been in my leagues too so you should have plenty of fodder.
-
Hey All, I actually screwed up the deadline for cuts. My budget has been legal for a while, and I didn't have a ton left to pare down, but I was looking to drop Rosario, Hernandez, Wesneski and Paxton if possible.
3/6 should be fine for the draft for me.

Justin and Paul ... always braking the law. You can't tell them what to do, Chad!
-
1) let's target March 6
2) we had one team not make cuts. I'm not going to name names but seems like a BUST that one team was aSLEEP(er). I can set them to to make late cuts but I'm not sure I'll be able to get to it until today, pending airplane wifi.
For now, start prepping for 3/6 and be aware the FA market will grow when that team gets legal
-
Sleeper and the Bust, In the Deep and The Welsh, you are all still above the cap. We have about 85 minutes until the deadline to get legal. Make your cuts (and everyone else, make final cuts, as well)
-
We are still open to trading AJ Smith-Shawver for an OF or RP
-
Either Feb 6 or Mar 6 for the draft work for me :)

Either day works for me!
-
March 6th works for me.
-
I cannot do 02/06
-
Any thoughts on Tuesday 2/6? Are people going to be ready to draft that evening? Looks like either that or 3/6 will be best. Weigh in soon please!
Also, remember the cut and trade deadline is tomorrow night!
-
Trying to move a $5 AJ Smith-Shawver before the deadline... looking for a RP or back end OF in return, $2 Clase or $3 Paddack available as an accessory piece.
-
I will not be available 2/29. I will be flying to Tampa for First Pitch Florida.
-
2/6 or 2/29 work best for me, but I could probably make any of them work.
-
Monday 2/19 is dicey for me the rest are great.
I'm looking to move Semien, Abreu, and/or Romano before the deadline if anyone is interested please reach out.
-
Possible draft dates (all would be 9 pm ET):
Tuesday 2/6
Monday 2/19
Thursday 2/29
Wednesday 3/6
Anyone have unavoidable conflicts with any of these? Or a strong preference? I would love to get this in on the early side because I would love for all of us to be able to chat about it on our respective podcasts early in draft season when it is still early enough to help people, so I would index towards the first two Feb dates, if possible.
-
Ottoneu newbies, just a reminder the deadline for cuts is in one week 1/31... so only one week to get trades in before the draft.
-
I'd love to do live if we can find a good time! Last year we did a weeknight at 9 pm ET for the live portion of our draft. I can offer to some options for that again. If anyone has known unavoidable conflicts like travel and stuff, let me know. I'll send out some options soon
-
Hey Chad, are we doing a standard draft or slow draft this year?
-
We are looking to move the following pre-cut list for some back end OF depth or closers...
Woodruff, AJ Smith-Shawver, Ashby, Means, Paddack, Tink, Westburg, Schanuel, Mauricio, Carson Williams... if anyone is interested hit us up. Tatis is also available in the right move.
-
Looking mostly at adding RP, if anyone is selling saves.
-
We are looking to move Woodruff for a backup catcher, back end OF or RP if anyone wants to take a risk at only $17.
-
Really hoping to move Casas (14) or Torkelson (10) before the cut deadline. Looking for a SS, 2B, or SP of similar value.
-
If anyone is shopping a closer or an OF, hit us up. We have a ton of prospects we are still looking to flip.
-
We have a few weeks here to make some moves. Raymond and I have an influx of cheap prospects and are looking to consolidate some for OF, SP and RP. Hit us up if interested.
-
Also looking at RPs, if anyone has a closer on the block.
-
Happy Thanksgiving everyone! If anyone wants to talk trade, we are looking to move some young / cheap pieces (esp. MI) for OF help and/or high end SP.
-
By "get legal" I mean you have to be back in compliance with the roster rules: 40 or fewer players, $400 or less in salary, and at least $1 free for every open roster spot (so if you only keep 30 players, you need at least $10 free so you can fill out your roster). From now until January 31, you can make trades and/or cut players, but you cannot add anyone. On January 31 at 11:49 pm ET, rosters will lock and you can't make adds or cuts or trades until we have our annual auction.
-
Hey Chad, can you give a quick summary of what it means to "get legal"? I think I understand it from the rules, but since this is our first off-season, your explanation would be appreciated. Thanks.
-
thanks all for doing arb. just a quick note that you can check out the arb results (top left of the page where the link to arbitration used to be) including seeing who each team gave to. Also, while you can start making cuts now if you want, you don't have to get legal until Jan. 31. From now until then, there is no salary cap or roster rules, but trading is open (and no loans with off-season trades). Looking forward to a fun off-season!
-
I just added a ton of guys to my trade block, let me know if there's any interest. We are looking for OFs, closers and maybe an ace
-
Sara and Paul/Justin, you're the last two that need to do your arbitration and you're down to 13.5 hours
-
Roughly 48 hours to finish arbitration. Please do it if you haven't. Let me know if you have questions
-
half the league has completed arbitration. If you are one of the six teams that has not, please get that in over the next week. everyone else, reminder that you can edit your allocations until the deadline.
