That works for me, just excited we are finally days away from baseball!
-
I'm fine with that as a plan (only doing arb. if we make it through 60 games); however, I don't have real strong feelings about it, and am fine doing whatever the majority want.
-
In regards to arb for the next off-season, my current thinking is to do arbitration only if we get a "full" 2020 season. If there season gets cancelled at some point, we don't do arb. Any other thoughts on that?
-
What is the league's thoughts on arbitration for a shortened season? Probably be a good idea to finalize that thinking before any type of season.
-
looks like we'll get some games!
-
I believe it has to do with a refund deadline for league that haven't drafted yet. No surprise season that I'm aware of.
-
any clue what Season Starts: Friday, May 15, 2020 means? Is there something brewing that we're not aware of yet? :)
-
Bye Bye Baby, the joke could be on us. We may all be waiting until 2021.
-
In the short time since the draft, I’ve lost one starter to Tommy John, and another is seeing the Tommy John expert. See y’all in 2021! Haha
-
I'd prefer a later draft, but I agree that participation is more important than proximity to opening day.

It's the date everyone said would work. It's most important to me that everyone be able to attend the draft. It's not like you can't still make roster moves prior to the season.
-
Like I said in my message I think it is ridiculous to draft almost 6 weeks before the season starts. Just my opinion and I guess I was in the minority but what's the rush.
-
Alright, I've reached out to people about availability, and it looks like we should be able to get everyone there on 2/16 at 9 pm ET. If for some reason you find you are unable to make this date as we draw nearer, please let me know, and I will work to find a proxy for you so that you don't have your team miss out on the draft entirely. Looking forward to the auction!
-
I added availability for 2/25.
-
Looking for three more responses to our draft day poll. Currently we do not have any dates that everyone said they can do. The most we have so far is 7 out of 9 on both 2/16 and 2/25, so it will likely be one of those days. If possible, could each of you review your answers and add in any days that may not be preferable but that you could make work? I want to try to get everyone in the draft if at all possible. I'm hoping to lock down a date by Friday. https://doodle.com/poll/nvywzpgnhykqp3e2

haha, look who forgot to cut. I unexpectedly got pressed into coaching basketball yesterday, and that took over everything from around 2:00 to 11 pm. Woulda shoulda coulda made like 3-6 more cuts, including Rizzo and Bryant. Ufda. GO CUBS!!!
-
Hey y'all. I've set up a Doodle poll to schedule draft day. Please respond ASAP so we can get that on the calendar. Thanks! https://doodle.com/poll/nvywzpgnhykqp3e2

Same for me with Machado and Chapman

Danger, same thing with my team in regard to Rizzo and Bryant. I'm not 100% sure but leaning toward cutting them both. I have them at $50 and $49.
-
As a public service announcement: I am planning to cut Bryce Harper and Justin Turner. If you would rather have them at their current salaries than risk having to bid against other owners for them at auction, it will not take much to get them, so long as I see the return as keepable.
-
Seriously, I could easily forget. The 31st is Friday night - hopefully we all remember.
-
I cut early mostly out of fear of forgetting later :)

yes, it should just be the manager's preference. i don't believe their is any action the commissioner needs to take in order for it to be available; it's just an available part of the game now.
-
so its available by manager, not by league? So I can opt to use that feature that others in our league may not? or does it have to be enabled for the league first?
-
The first one does not since this is not a head-to-head league. The auto-eject option is (to my understanding) available for all leagues in 2020. You won't be forced to use it, but it will be available. I don't think it really affects gameplay at all; it's really just a tool to use your game caps more efficiently.
-
do the gameplay changes for 2020 impact our league at all? I don't think the first one does, but does the second one?
-
Welcome aboard Chris.
-
And I have a placeholder team name to match.

Well, I tried to cut everybody, but I only got so far on the first try. I thought it was a fairly spectacular first try though. I will be sorting through the remainder to see what's left. Glad to be here!

Hello, I'm Chris, I'm pleased to join the league. If you'll hold on for a moment, I have a big task to do.

We have a new owner for the team fka Kluber Lang and the Pitied Fools. Please welcome Chris to the league!
-
Which is why I was asking him how many years he was in the league. Was it just one?
-
I commented on 6/14: ""I have no problem with a team accumulating incoming loans in future value for present value trades."" I think many/most people on Ottoneu agree. I would agree too, if we were locked into our leagues for like 10 years. But we're not. So I'm NOT a fan of these trades, because new owners can come into leagues, strip mine the team for one year of contention, then move on to another league, leaving a smoking ruin behind. We should have to live with our decis
-
Honestly, I'll most remember Kluber for his $736 roster (!!!), and freaking out over us vetoing that ridiculous trade attempt.
-
I'll remember "Kluber Lang" for one of the better team names I've encountered. Although, if you think about it, Mr. T. didn't seem like the Ottoneu type. His training montage tells me he's into grit and pitcher wins. Now Ivan Drago, that's a man that appreciates advanced analytics.

Sorry to see you go Kluber. I'm recruiting for a new owner currently. Let me know if any of you know people who'd be interested in joining.
-
As for return on investment, in my opinion, I get a great return on the annual fee, relative to other entertainment costs. I have a lot more fun nerding out for a few minutes every day in fantasy baseball land than I do at a single night at the movies (for even more $).
-
Kluber, how many years were you in this league? This got me wondering if there is a way to see the ownership history of the various teams. Who is our longest-tenured owner?
-
i will not be returning next season. good luck everyone. a $20 investment that i can't get any return on doesn't make sense for me to do. best of luck

Thanks to everyone for getting their arbitration to and not making me going anyone! On to a hopefully exciting off-season! Got those trade blocks updated, and let's start dealing! More exclamation points!!
-
Participating in arbitration is the benchmark for returning in 2020, so please try to have all your money allocated a few days early, even if theyv aren't your final allocations.
-
A reminder to everyone: less than two weeks for arbitration assignments! You can change your assignments any time up to r m the deadline
-
If any of you first year owners are interested, Trey Baughn (FG contributor) is looking to do some interviews of first-year players for an article. If you're interested, you can get ahold of him on this thread: https://community.ottoneu.com/t/year-one-ottoneu-owner-interviews-rotographs/6239
-
Here is one of their early articles that describe basic strategies to use https://fantasy.fangraphs.com/ottoneu-arbitration-guide/
-
is there a good place for me to read up on the arbitration process? is the Rules section the best resource, or is there something else?
-
For full transparency, Your 2020 Champs had an illegal roster at end of season (46 players for 45 slots) and I asked him to cut a player, which currently can only be done by commissioner action. He chose Beede, and I have removed him as such.
-
Just FYI for everyone, the league calendar has been updated for next year. Arbitration starts 10/15 and runs through 11/14. Until then, enjoy the playoffs!
