• Mount Rose Muskies's trade block has been updated!

  Mount Rose Muskies on January 4, 2018 2:47 PM

• Yes, welcome! I have plenty of experience with this arb coupon system we have put into place and I'll gladly help clarify things or answer questions.

  The Lōgunate on January 4, 2018 2:19 PM

• and 3) we don't allow owners to re-auction players they've already cut, and then cut them again a second time to mitigate the cap penalty. happy to explain any of these once you've had a chance to get the basic rules down.

  Pavin Meadows on January 4, 2018 1:18 PM

• 2) we have a arbitration coupon system in place. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1bJ6GGjkw-1jNnzTNCeECL99NtbAKOIerIY0vRZ-FpNk/edit#gid=0 this is designed to help create an incentive for people to continue to compete, even when they're not in the running to win the league, and to create a disincentive for front-runners to take on huge loans in trades w rebuilding teams.

  Pavin Meadows on January 4, 2018 1:17 PM

• there are a few other things i should mention: 1) this is a no-veto league. you can complain about a trade, but it won't be reversed.

  Pavin Meadows on January 4, 2018 1:16 PM

• Welcome Neil!!! Glad to see you join. I think you'll find this to be a really good group. And no, you can't have Buxton.

  Harmon's Killer Brew on January 3, 2018 7:32 PM

• As a Twins fan, my first inclination is to offer my entire roster for Byron Buxton, but I'm thinking that probably wouldn't be prudent and maybe not even legal. That's what I mean about getting up to speed. Thanks for the links.

• My final bit of advice is to trade for Ryon Healy.

  Pavin Meadows on January 3, 2018 5:07 PM

• Finally, there's the surplus calculator, which I find incredibly helpful. http://community.ottoneu.com/t/ottoneu-surplus-calculator-early-2018-version/2459/22 I personally don't view it as the end-all (just look at my Pineda trade from last year), but I find that it's a least a decent starting point for evaluating keep-cut decisions and trade offers.

  Pavin Meadows on January 3, 2018 5:06 PM

• Glad to have you, Neil! Ayes & Killer have set the bar pretty high for you, though I'm sure you're up to the challenge. In terms of getting up to speed, Trey helpfully linked to a number of articles about the basics, here: https://www.fangraphs.com/fantasy/ottoneu-first-impressions/. There's also the community, which has a number of helpful resources. http://community.ottoneu.com/

  Pavin Meadows on January 3, 2018 5:04 PM

• So, I'm new. Name is Neil. In real life I know Dichromatic Ayes and Killer and have competed against them for years. They told me about this league and I told them I'd love to join if there's an opportunity. Give me some time to get up to speed. Right now all I know is that I probably need a catcher. Thanks for having me, and looking forward to the season.

• Welcome aboard, new Sugary!

  Pavin Meadows on January 3, 2018 11:49 AM

• Kipnis (2B/OF) $11, is available.

  Framber Comes Alive on January 3, 2018 11:29 AM

• I have no problem with March 10

  Lowe Expectations on January 3, 2018 10:24 AM

• Ryon Healy available for anything of rosterable value.

  Pavin Meadows on January 2, 2018 10:22 PM

• March 10 works for me

  Kas House Gang on January 2, 2018 5:57 PM

• I like March 10

  Framber Comes Alive on January 2, 2018 4:23 PM

• March 10 works!

  Harmon's Killer Brew on January 2, 2018 2:55 PM

• Doesn't look like any Sundays in March will work, so let's move on to Saturdays. How about March 10 at 3 pm eastern?

  Pavin Meadows on January 2, 2018 2:06 PM

• Sorry to see you go, Sugary. You've been a great owner and former champion. We'll miss you, and you're always welcome back. --Dave

  Pavin Meadows on January 2, 2018 1:53 PM

• Hey Sugary, was nice competing with you last year. Sorry to see you go but I understand. Good luck.

  Framber Comes Alive on January 2, 2018 12:29 PM

• I have given it considerable reflection, but I have decided not to continue in this league. My team is in reasonably good shape, so it shouldn't be hard to find a replacement owner.

  He's a Moniak, MO-niak on January 2, 2018 11:39 AM

• I can't do March 4.

  Mount Rose Muskies on January 2, 2018 11:09 AM

• March 4 is good for me.

  The WAR of 18.12 on January 2, 2018 10:06 AM

• Oh, that's right. How about Sunday, March 4 at 7 pm eastern?

  Pavin Meadows on January 2, 2018 10:03 AM

• The 18th is impossible for me. Won't even be inside the country. Gone from 12th thru the 19th.

  Framber Comes Alive on January 2, 2018 9:41 AM

• That works, I can do the 18th (or any other time that weekend).

  The WAR of 18.12 on January 2, 2018 9:29 AM

• Not a problem. How about March 18, at 7 pm eastern time?

  Pavin Meadows on January 2, 2018 9:23 AM

• Sorry for the delayed response, fellas. I'm actually going to be driving home from a weekend trip that Sunday, March 25th. That's not a good weekend for me at all. Are there any other potential draft dates we could consider?

  The WAR of 18.12 on January 2, 2018 8:01 AM

• Harmon's Killer Brew's trade block has been updated!

  Harmon's Killer Brew on December 31, 2017 9:09 PM

• i vote 24 hr wait time. Thanks Chuck

  4 Baggers on December 27, 2017 3:33 PM

• yep, those are the only two options. 48 or 24 hrs.

  Pavin Meadows on December 27, 2017 11:54 AM

• i agree, 0 wait time is ideal, 24 hours is fine if there is no option for 0

  Lowe Expectations on December 27, 2017 11:51 AM

• Since there are no longer any vetoes of trades, I don't see the need for the longer 48 hour waiting period.

  Framber Comes Alive on December 27, 2017 10:48 AM

• I can't change the settings till after the keeper deadline.

  Pavin Meadows on December 27, 2017 9:03 AM

• Is everyone ok w changing the trade wait time from 48 to 24 hrs?

  Pavin Meadows on December 27, 2017 9:03 AM

• 4 Baggers's trade block has been updated!

  4 Baggers on December 26, 2017 3:48 PM

• Mount Rose Muskies's trade block has been updated!

  Mount Rose Muskies on December 26, 2017 3:46 PM

• Sounds good--let's plan on this as our draft date, unless anyone objects by the keeper deadline, Jan 31.

  Pavin Meadows on December 26, 2017 11:06 AM

• That date should work for me!

  Mount Rose Muskies on December 26, 2017 10:40 AM

• right now no issues with the draft date.

  4 Baggers on December 23, 2017 12:09 PM

• no conflicts as of now

  Lowe Expectations on December 23, 2017 12:52 AM

• Since I'm incapable of planning anything out more than a week, I'm more than certain there is no draft conflict.

  Harmon's Killer Brew on December 22, 2017 8:11 PM

• As of right now, I don't have any conflict

  The Lōgunate on December 22, 2017 4:44 PM

• I know it's a few months away, but can anyone please respond soonish if they have a conflict for Sunday, March 25 at 3 pm eastern?

  Pavin Meadows on December 22, 2017 4:15 PM

• Hopefully we can stick to the weekend of March 25th. I would definitely not be able to draft on any day from Mar 12 to Mar 20.

  Framber Comes Alive on December 22, 2017 4:02 PM

• Made it March 25, which is a Sunday.
