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!
-
Yes, congrats to Kluber. The whole league seems to have a lot more points this year. I'm guessing maybe that is related to the surge in home runs in MLB this year? My 2015 1st place team would have tied for 4th this year. In 2014 the winner didn't even have 18,000.
-
Also a congratulations on a new league point record by Kluber!
-
Yes, congrats to Kluber on his championship. I thought I could catch him, but just never made the leap. Good season everyone! If anyone is planning on leaving the league (which I hope so one does, because this seems like a great group!), can you let me know as soon as possible so I can work on replacement owners?
-
And congratulations to Kluber on the win.

Arbitration runs from mid-October to mid-November. Then the keeper deadline is at the end of January.

So I think I understand what to do now, really different league then what I have done before, but it's made me follow the game a little differently, which rules. No idea what the off-season will be like,next steps aren't until after the WS?
-
Just a reminder for everyone: auctions for players must be started by 11:59 PM EDT tonight for you to actually be able to acquire the player.

poor Yelich :( fractured knee cap from a foul ball :(

Jokes & sarcasm are so hard to read on printed text. I missed it for sure.

A poor attempt at humor. Obviously removing inning caps would ruin the game.

Removing innings caps would make the league about who can have the most starting pitchers on their roster.

I'm super confused by this. There is no option in Ottoneu to remove innings caps. Was this not an Ottoneu league?
-
Last year in my other league we had a guy who railed against inning caps. He left the league because we wouldn't agree to get rid of them. At the time we all thought he was nuts.
But now that I'm about to hit my innings cap, I see the wisdom of his position.

Which makes it so much harder with the new opener trend and having players switch between traditional starts or long early reliefs.
-
Yeah, you only get points for a SP if he starts, and a RP if he relieves.
-
on the 20th I had 7 SP starting! I tried to test whether I could get points from a SP/RP in a RP slot... and was sadly wrong :(
-
So many starters going yesterday I had to choose who to sit (never had that happen in ON before), glad I kept him in
-
82 points for Giolito today. That's one hell of a game.

With Carlos Correa headed to the IL, I'm in the market for a stopgap MI if anyone is interested in a trade.

Look at the auction results for Nick Madrigal. Our thinking is seriously aligned.
-
That's...not really how blisters work :-P
-
As a previous Sanchez owner, he's unfortunately always only 1 pitch away from a season ending blister.

I thought $11 was more than enough to get Aaron Sanchez. As a Mariners fan, I sure hope the Astros have transformed him. The alternative is that the M's lineup belongs in Tacoma.

Snell is on the block for a pitching package that puts me over the top this season. Send offers.
-
Contenders, I'd still like to move the boomstick, Nelson Cruz. Averaging over 7.5 ppg. Looking for meaningful prospects. I could also package Cruz along with a lesser prospect for a top prospect.
-
Thanks! Appreciate it!
-
You should have him back, for $10. Let me know if it isn't right.
-
I'm ok with it. And I can't see any big objections given that it's not going to impact the standings. Let me try and fix it.
-
I don’t know if it’s possible or not, but I don’t have any issue with having it fixed if it is possible.
-
There's no way to reverse that? Total fat fingered it on mobile
-
Ugh didn't mean to cut Peralta :(. Didn't see he was checked
-
For the record, I don’t have any objections to acquiring cap space and don’t feel strongly either way on the Skaggs proposal, just found it funny
-
The irony that the person who balked at this has $634 of cap space (albeit fairly) is quite humorous to me.
-
I appreciate the gesture guys, but his cap hit is only $5 at this point, and I have the space to be able to deal with that.
-
And what take away his points for the year too?
