• actually, for west coast ppl, let’s make those deadlines 3 pm eastern.

  Pavin Meadows on February 16, 2022 9:02 AM

• and to be fair, i’ll make penalty-free cuts for anyone else who needs them if you msg me by noon eastern.

  Pavin Meadows on February 16, 2022 9:02 AM

• I support this

  The Lōgunate on February 16, 2022 9:02 AM

• hi everyone, i’m inclined to allow Franimal this short extension given his circumstances as well as for the health of the league. if anyone objects, please do so by noon eastern today.

  Pavin Meadows on February 16, 2022 9:01 AM

• Hey all, I'm in an absolutely brutal week at work and fell asleep without finishing my cuts. I sent Dave a list of players that were in my cut queue already and asked him to finish them out. Please speak up if anyone objects. I have just not had twenty minutes to sit down and look at this lately.

  Lowe Expectations on February 16, 2022 8:57 AM

• would trade mayer and davis for a reasonably priced superstar

  Pavin Meadows on February 15, 2022 10:03 PM

• If only--I took over in November 2018. Traded for Tucker in August 2019. I just haven't kept anyone I had before then, including literally anyone I drafted in 2019. The actual first players I acquired were Jean Segura, Salvador Perez, C.J. Cron, and Justus Sheffield (for Jose Abreu, Wilson Contreras, and Lewis Brinson). Perez and Cron are actually back in the fold, but they've been elsewhere in between.

  The WAR of 18.12 on February 15, 2022 9:46 PM

• Correction: It's Gausman, the last remaining acquisition from 2019.

  Framber Comes Alive on February 15, 2022 8:07 PM

• Cut Captain Pederson at end of season so now it's... Jake McGee? It's almost my spirit animal Framber who was acquired 3 days later.

  Framber Comes Alive on February 15, 2022 8:04 PM

• seniority-based captain (in perpetuity): Steve Pearce

  Pavin Meadows on February 15, 2022 7:58 PM

• Seniority-based captain roll call: Alex Bregman (May 2018).

  Schwell's Bells on February 15, 2022 7:53 PM

• If Kyle Tucker was your first acquisition, I guess your back to back titles aren't too surprising.

  Framber Comes Alive on February 15, 2022 7:34 PM

• Congratulations to Kyle Tucker, new seniority-based captain of the WAR of 18.12. My roster has now officially completely turned over since I joined the league.

  The WAR of 18.12 on February 15, 2022 5:53 PM

• another reminder—any trades before the draft need to be accepted before the keeper deadline. rosters are frozen till after the draft.

  Pavin Meadows on February 14, 2022 2:08 PM

• Franimal and 4 Baggers, please make your cuts.

  Pavin Meadows on February 14, 2022 11:49 AM

• just a friendly reminder that the keeper deadline is Tuesday. please make sufficient cuts to get below the cap by then. thank you!

  Pavin Meadows on February 12, 2022 7:33 PM

• Like Franimal, sorry to anyone who I left hanging with an open trade proposal. I lost track of off-season time a little bit. Will definitely get my keepers done by the deadline.

  Philly Special on February 10, 2022 11:15 AM

• Anyone interested in Machado, Martinez, Cole, Brantley, Altuve let me know--I'd like to keep them all, but only currently have cap space for one or two.

  The WAR of 18.12 on February 7, 2022 11:09 PM

• Apologies to anyone/everyone who's been proposing trades. I can promise to make cuts before the deadline, at least

  Lowe Expectations on February 7, 2022 11:49 AM

• Sounds like there is a 10 day grace period. From Niv: "same thing that happens every year: they get an email and 10 days where they can renew and after those 10 days they are put on the claim teams page as Expired"

  Framber Comes Alive on January 31, 2022 3:12 PM

• Did it this past weekend. Almost forgot!

  Harmon's Killer Brew on January 31, 2022 12:09 PM

• Did everyone manage to renew their teams?

  Framber Comes Alive on January 31, 2022 10:38 AM

• FYI: https://community.ottoneu.com/t/keeper-deadline-adjust-if-lockout-occurs/10611

  The Lōgunate on January 4, 2022 4:51 PM

• Kyle Seager going out in style if not exactly on top, with 38 hrs last season. Though I was hoping for a FA signing in Colorado, I wish him well in retirement.

  Framber Comes Alive on December 29, 2021 6:42 PM

• would move ian happ for a decent SP or 1B

  Pavin Meadows on December 14, 2021 12:40 PM

• Just had to give me all these great team name ideas *after* I dropped them, huh?

  Mount Rose Muskies on December 7, 2021 4:28 PM

• I went on a backpacky trip through the Reiver Sanmartin. Good times.

  Schwell's Bells on December 7, 2021 4:22 PM

• Mounty dropping some good names into the draft pool: Reiver and Packy are now available.

  Framber Comes Alive on December 7, 2021 2:40 PM

• $44 Reiver Sanmartin is available, speaking of marginal guys. I think that’s probably about sticker price, so I wouldn’t be looking for *too* much coming back.

  Mount Rose Muskies on December 7, 2021 7:40 AM

• the roster organizer tool is really useful too.

  Pavin Meadows on December 7, 2021 7:29 AM

• in the meantime, it’s usually worthwhile to try trading any marginal guys before cutting them. some other tools are the Slack keep/cut channel, the surplus calculator, and the ottoneu articles on fangraphs and Pitcherlist.

  Pavin Meadows on December 7, 2021 7:27 AM

• just a friendly reminder that the keeper deadline is Jan 31. any cuts made after Jan 31 will incur a cap penalty.

  Pavin Meadows on December 7, 2021 7:17 AM

• would trade Alek Thomas, Marcelo Mayer, or Ian Happ for a good 1B or SP.

  Pavin Meadows on December 2, 2021 3:44 PM

• Looking for a 1B or 3B in return for Ranger Suarez.

  Framber Comes Alive on November 29, 2021 3:53 PM

• So the sixth time will be the charm for Sixto? Ultimate breakout after that?

  Framber Comes Alive on November 25, 2021 12:03 PM

• Sixto has been traded five times and I held him for three seasons. Can't help but think I kept him back from running away with the record.

  Lowe Expectations on November 23, 2021 9:09 AM

• Among players who've recently moved, both George Springer and Austin Meadows have been traded six times since the end of 2016, and eight times overall.

  Schwell's Bells on November 21, 2021 6:52 PM

• Kopech has been traded 6 times in this league since I joined in Nov 2016. Wondering if that's a record.

  Framber Comes Alive on November 21, 2021 6:33 PM

• hi everyone—the measure passed, so net incoming loans are capped at $50.

  Pavin Meadows on November 21, 2021 10:43 AM

• Right--cap doesn't apply in the offseason until the roster cutdown date.

  The WAR of 18.12 on November 20, 2021 8:49 PM

• Croney clarified. 452 represents the cap after off season increases

  Framber Comes Alive on November 20, 2021 7:17 PM

• Does cap relate directly to the amount of net loans? Your cap (WAR) is currently 452 and I don't recall you going to 50+ net loans during the season.

  Framber Comes Alive on November 20, 2021 2:58 PM

• No, no limits on individual trades, but a limit of adding more than $50 in net cap room over the course of the season. Essentially, $400 would be a soft cap that you could increase by trading for more cap room up to $450, but $450 would be a hard cap that you couldn't go above.

  The WAR of 18.12 on November 20, 2021 12:11 PM

• To be honest I'm not sure I understand the proposal. Is it a limit of a $50 loan for each trade?

  Schwell's Bells on November 19, 2021 9:09 PM

• still need four ppl to please vote: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/WRVWV33

  Pavin Meadows on November 19, 2021 8:49 PM

• Gary Sanchez and Austin Meadows are available for a low asking price.

  Pavin Meadows on November 18, 2021 10:11 AM

• Let me know if anyone is looking to trade. As someone noted near the end of the season, I have an extra star 3B (Machado and Rendon). Most looking to rebuild SP depth without breaking the bank, but open to all sorts of ideas.

  The WAR of 18.12 on November 18, 2021 12:12 AM

• also, congrats on 100% arb participation! the state of the league is strong!

  Pavin Meadows on November 17, 2021 6:55 PM

• also, just a reminder--you may need to renew your ottoneu membership soon. i just did mine now to get it out of the way.

  Pavin Meadows on November 17, 2021 12:06 PM
