Old New New York Mets's trade block has been updated!
-
Welcome to the league. Format is a bit different so the FAQs are a must read. Brad Johnson's articles are a help as well. Feel free to hit NxNw or me up with any questions.

Hi everyone. I saw you were looking for another player on one of the Rotographs' comment sections, and thought I'd pick up the team. This will be my first ottoneu league, but I'm excited for the challenge!
-
Welcome to the league. Yup the scoring for sure is different. But I appreciate that they're trying to reflect something a little closer to actual value. As opposed to a SB being worth the same as a double. You are not the only newbie this year - there was a changing of the guard this year and I think we have several owners this year who are new to ottoneu. I like it way more than any other format, but as the saying goes there is no accounting for taste! Keep the questions coming.

We play the fangraphs points system, so pitchers earn 7.4 pts per IP, 2 points per K, but lose 2.6 per hit, 3 per BB/HBP and 12.3 per home run.

Sorry for posting that 3 times...?

Thanks for the welcome. I'm looking forward to my first ottoneu team. I'm quite experienced in an old school espn keeper H2H league, but understand that ottoneu is a different beast. I have been reading fangraphs for a couple years now, so hopefully I'm not too much of a newb. My first question is: I'm looking at the scoring system for fangraphs points and it says that Hits ARE counted against pitchers (not in SABR), but in the FAQ's it says that hits are NOT counted against. Which is it? Thanks

North by Northwest's trade block has been updated!
-
He didn't pay his fees, so the system gives them a few days then automatically cuts them at midnight. Since the team is expired, you have to pay the years fee when you pick it up - but any owner can pick the team up for $5 instead of $10. SO if your mate wants it, it's a 1/2 price team.

So I noticed that Penny Whistles is now expired, with the owner listed as "none". What is the difference between this and being abandoned? If we need another manager I think that I have someone.

OK apparently Prospects-a-plenty has been abandoned. If you know a good owner (fairly active, and not a jerk) let them know about our opening.
-
Kiwis don't let it stop you. I spent the last 20 years developing an immunity to iocane powder.

welcome to the new owner of the ballers! No more dead teams!!
-
i made arctic kiwis co-commissioner just now. Also marked ballers as abandoned as the guy who took it over was having some problems, though I'm unclear if he is going to take it back or not.

cool, thanks Kiwis. I'm traveling right now and won't be home for another week so I may be somewhat off the grid for a while.
-
Thanks Arctic Kiwis. That was helpful.

newbies feel free to email me with any questions as some others already have done. This is a really different format so I understand most new owners have questions.
-
Wow what a blockbuster! Nicely done.

Right Marc, you don't have to do anything. Welcome aboard to the new trumbo drop owner! Only 1 abandoned team left! If you want to change your team name, go to your team page and then click "edit" to the right of it.
-
Feel free to change how your team has allocated arbitration, as that was a different owner's choice - otherwise I think trade season starts today/tomorrow

Since I just joined today, and it's the last day of arbitration, do I need to do anything?
-
ohhhhhk apparently this is a bad way to share links. I'll send an email.
-
Let me try those links again.
Calendar: http://ottoneu.fangraphs.com/160/calendar
Rules: http://ottoneu.fangraphs.com/rules
FAQ: http://ottoneu.fangraphs.com/support
Also if you are new to ottoneu the "fangraph points" system is probably the weirdest thing about it. Explanations:

-
BLEACHER CREATURES - you have a few hours more to finish your arbitration or I'll have to give your team away.
-
Also, new owners let us know what questions you have - either here on this message board or you can email me or any other owner directly through the "inbox" tab. Calendar is here with important dates: http://ottoneu.fangraphs.com/160/calendar

Another new owner, this time for Sonny Gray - Welcome Marc!! Only 2 spots left so if you have a friend or someone in mind, don't wait too long.
-
Welcome aboard to 2 new owners! Balking Dead and a new owner for "prospects for days."
-
I think you have to have 12. I'm pretty confident we can get there. We have until March.
-
Hi guys. Glad to play. Hope I win!
-
Can we play with just 8-9-10 teams? If i comes down to the draft or keeper deadline, do we just have to wait for all teams to be filled?
-
We got a new owner yesterday - welcome ottoneubie!
