• I am actively looking to add a solid 2B trying to move Royce Lewis and maybe another player. Let me know if you are interested

  TBD on April 19, 2025 12:48 AM

• I suppose it's better than having one less team in the league...barely (facepalm emoji)

  The Lou Browns on March 2, 2025 2:01 PM

• I still plan on winning the draft and the season.

  The Lou Browns on March 2, 2025 1:54 PM

• After draft day was set, my son’s birthday party was planned. I will be doing the first hour or so from a Dave & Busters with 20 berserker 8 year old boys (and an even more chaotic 4yr old boy). I’m really sorry gang, though it works to your advantage I suppose. I shall do my best and be open for trade business immediately after to try and mitigate. I only give the heads up to let Commish know that if I’m causing any issues/delay, override me and take whatever action is necessary. I’ll d

• DRAFT DAY! See you all at 4pm ET/1pm PT

  Seiya Ain't So 🎤 on March 2, 2025 12:39 PM

• Just a reminder that our draft day is coming up this Sunday. Excited to get this season underway!

  Seiya Ain't So 🎤 on February 27, 2025 1:13 PM

• I'm excited to draft, who is everyone's favorite team? Mine is the Tigers!

  TBD on February 19, 2025 11:39 PM

• Welcome and thanks for joining! Should be a fun season for everyone and I'm looking forward to the draft in a couple of weeks.

  Seiya Ain't So 🎤 on February 19, 2025 11:23 AM

• Hello everyone. I wanted to add a second team to my ottoneu roster and I decided this was my favorite option. I'm a friendly player who isn't always quick at responding to trades. I will always do my best. March 2nd at 4pm est works for me to draft. I hope we all have a good time

  TBD on February 19, 2025 1:05 AM

• Alright, based on 8 responses to the draft day poll, I've selected Sunday, March 2 as our draft day. Please let me know ASAP if that date doesn't work for you. I've also set the start time to 4:00pm EST but also let me know if that time needs to be adjusted. This also means we've got a little less than two weeks to find a replacement owner for BOHICA. Start inviting people!

  Seiya Ain't So 🎤 on February 17, 2025 11:22 AM

• Hi All - just voted in the draft day poll. Just FYI for me it is somewhat time-specific (I'm on Pacific Time) - I said no to weekdays assuming it would be in the evenings which I cannot do, but I could make some business-hours weekdays work, if that's an option. I can make all the weekend dates work, I think.

  The Lou Browns on February 15, 2025 2:31 PM

• Thanks Jake - My availability is updated. -BF

  🎙️ Harry Doyle 🍺 on February 11, 2025 4:27 PM

• Here's a draft day poll to see which day works best for us: https://whenavailable.com/invite/Zo7mHxMyOzzxxAGADguy
  
  A weekday draft would probably be scheduled sometime after 7pm EST and a weekend draft would have a little more flexibility.
  
  BOHICA never responded to any of my messages so we'll need to find someone to take over his team. We'll set the draft date and hopefully the new owner will be able to make it to whichever day we select.

  Seiya Ain't So 🎤 on February 10, 2025 11:29 PM

• Welcome! Both of you should have a free round of cuts for your teams.
  
  I'll get a poll together sometime soon to lock down a draft date for the league.

  Seiya Ain't So 🎤 on February 3, 2025 12:28 PM

• Successfully claimed Uncle Charlie, so we're all good now. Glad to meet you all and getting this year started!

  Bockalp Ascending on February 3, 2025 12:08 PM

• Hey all I just claimed Philly and my friend is in the process of claiming Uncle Charlie but is having some issues with Paydala and is working with the Ottoneu administrators. Looking forward to baseball season!

  Carita’s Sox on February 3, 2025 11:59 AM

• All - deeply grateful to the Book of Bo Bichette for the assist here. This was my first year in Toney and didn’t appreciate the cut deadline until the last minute, and I’m chasing kiddos tonight. Really appreciate the time and effort to keep things going - I’ve commissioned leagues for many years and had to do similar things which is always sub-optimal, but it’s often necessary and sometimes is what keeps good leagues running. I’m grateful

  The Lou Browns on January 31, 2025 10:29 PM

• For transparency’s sake, The Lou Browns asked me to cut his players tonight because he wasn’t going to be able to finish before the deadline.
  
  Also, it looks like we have at least one new owner — welcome! Don’t worry about getting your cuts done tonight, I can give you a free round of cuts after the deadline passes.

  Seiya Ain't So 🎤 on January 31, 2025 9:41 PM

• Alright, based on league activity and who's already paid up for 2026, I think we can continue the league. We've got three abandoned teams that will need to be filled, but the rest of you look like you're coming back. If anyone has any leads on new owners, feel free to reach out and pitch the league to them. Looking forward to another year!

  Seiya Ain't So 🎤 on January 31, 2025 1:22 PM

• Also, I have a 30+ year-old 12-Team AL-Only Dynasty League (4x4) with two team openings this year, if anyone has interest. It's a money league - $161 buy-in ($11 to league fees rest to prizes) hosted on Fantrax. If any interest let me know.

  The Lou Browns on January 30, 2025 5:16 PM

• Really sorry, all - just been stretched past my limits bandwidth-wise and haven't had time to review format rules again or take a look at things this off-season (last season was my first year on ottoneu and I was a very late join). I'm sorry I missed arb deadline. I'm game to re-up if we think we can fill the league. When is keeper deadline again?

  The Lou Browns on January 30, 2025 4:00 PM

• I'm planning to pay up.

  🎙️ Harry Doyle 🍺 on January 30, 2025 1:57 PM

• I can get one new manager for sure, and can post in another league with several active teams if these teams don't renew.

  Fielder's Choice on January 30, 2025 12:07 PM

• I asked the same question at the beginning of the month and got a mixed response. Eight teams have yet to pay for 2025.

  Seiya Ain't So 🎤 on January 30, 2025 11:32 AM

• Is this an active league?

  Sototally Baty on January 30, 2025 10:30 AM

• Is this an active league?

  Sototally Baty on January 30, 2025 10:30 AM

• Anyway, happy to be here!

  Sototally Baty on January 18, 2025 6:16 PM

• Hey, all! Another league with Big Papi Memories in it. You're everywhere.

  Sototally Baty on January 18, 2025 6:15 PM

• I'm in for continuing with this league.

  🎙️ Harry Doyle 🍺 on January 9, 2025 6:45 PM

• I'm paid up and in for the long haul. I've had trade offers out to 3 mgrs without a response for a long time.

  Fielder's Choice on January 9, 2025 5:52 PM

• Did my Arb and ready to play in 2025

  Big Papi memories on January 9, 2025 5:00 PM

• Alright guys, we've got three weeks until the keeper deadline and no real league activity since the offseason started, seven teams who didn't participate in arbitration, and two abandoned teams. Is it worth trying to keep this league afloat or has everyone pretty much checked out and moved on?

  Seiya Ain't So 🎤 on January 9, 2025 4:42 PM

• I am looking to trade for a high priced starting pitcher (or two) that a team isn’t planning on keeping.

  Sototally Baty on August 17, 2024 11:21 AM

• I agree with Bo Bichette here (and I’m competing against him near the top of the leaderboard). This is exactly the kind of deal non-contenders should be making and looks to me like an excellent trade on both sides.

  Sototally Baty on June 12, 2024 11:12 PM

• I’ve still got serious studs but they’ll cost you big, and I can’t subsidize the deal

  The Lou Browns on June 12, 2024 8:29 PM

• No worries guys, I probably should have taken a longer look at this before vetoing. I withdraw my objection. I agree - Let's loosen up those rosters!

  🎙️ Harry Doyle 🍺 on June 12, 2024 8:26 PM

• The Lou Browns are not underperforming- we’ve got you all right where we want you!

  The Lou Browns on June 12, 2024 7:15 PM

• As an owner of an underperforming team, I'd like to see more of these trades to keep the league active. Jones is a stud and I'm kinda jealous. Did I mention that Hader, Machado, Bassit and Darvish might be a good fit for any contenting teams? I'm open for business.

  Fielder's Choice on June 12, 2024 7:13 PM

• I won't argue too heartily since I'm involved in the trade but Jones and Basallo are legit keepers and Riley has been the 37th-best 3B thus far. Also, why shouldn't low performing teams be able to trade away talent to secure their future -- like a number of MLB teams do every year?

  Seiya Ain't So 🎤 on June 12, 2024 5:50 PM

• I urge vetoes on the trade proposed between Lou Browns and Book of Bichette. Lower performing teams should not be allowed to completely dump talent and finance a playoff run by other teams. I'm open to reasons why this should be viewed as a fair exchange. Thanks!

  🎙️ Harry Doyle 🍺 on June 12, 2024 5:05 PM

• Team Renaming Note: Roger Dorn was a good name when I joined the league last year, but I'm upgrading to my favorite Major League character today. Living in Wisconsin, I'm a huge fan of hearing Bob Uecker on the radio. He is still doing it (home games at least) 54 years in, and every broadcast is a gift from the baseball gods. Cheers everyone - it's Miller Time!

  🎙️ Harry Doyle 🍺 on April 5, 2024 7:34 PM

• I also have elite depth at 1B if people are interested. Willing to move any one for the right price.

  Sototally Baty on March 21, 2024 3:12 PM

• All - I've received a fair amount of interest in my elite 1B/3B depth. I'm putting them all on the block, looking to move one for the best offer over the next week or so. All offers welcome.

  The Lou Browns on March 20, 2024 6:03 PM

• You do NOT have to have 40 players at all times. You can carry as few as you want. I've been in many draft where a team will stop drafting with 38 or 39 players.

  Sototally Baty on March 19, 2024 8:13 PM

• Your total roster number will be 40 players which you can use on any number of major or minor league players. Some leagues have a requirement that you're able field a full lineup every day but there's no actual rule for that and you could conceivably build a 40-man roster filled completely with minor league players.

  Seiya Ain't So 🎤 on March 19, 2024 4:45 PM

• How does the minor league spots work? Are they part of the 40 man roster? Do you have to have 40 players at all times? Just a few to start. ... thank you

  Free Bauer on March 19, 2024 4:32 PM

• March 19th works great for me. I could make March 11th work too if needed

  Carita’s Sox on March 5, 2024 2:27 PM

• It sounds like March 19 is an option as long as we find a proxy drafter for The Lou Browns (I can help with this). I haven't heard from a third of the league but I think I'll lock in the 19th and we can pivot if its not an option for one of those teams.
  
  March 11 at 10pm Eastern was floated as a possible alternative. Is that too late for people?

  Seiya Ain't So 🎤 on March 5, 2024 2:00 PM

• Yup, and I found the free agents...lol

  Free Bauer on March 5, 2024 11:54 AM

• Welcome Jason! I just gave you another free round of cuts but make sure you cut everyone you want this round. Don, when you get around to your cuts, make sure you cut everyone you want all together.
