Six Toe, every time you change your name, I think there is new blood in the league and offer a plethora of trades ;)
-
original guess 6, amended guess 11?!
-
Less than Juan Nicasio, I'd say...

Quiz: How many times has Luke Weaver been traded in this league? Your first guess is probably not enough.
-
Tricky thing is when you change your team name it changes it everywhere in history. Thanks Six Toe / artist formerly known as Max Homa / Max Schrek too?
-
Okay. Team name finalized. Sleep well Rime.
-
looking for a smaller deal for a RP, holla on my direct message m/chat!
-
That was such an epic and unfortunate running injuries, Rime.
-
Yeah, lemme know when you've lost the equivalent of Sale, Syndergaard, and Verlander.
-
You're on a roll, Roberto.

Kirby Yates is the first post-draft TJ! I win!
-
Good draft everyone! Trades, cuts, and free-agent auctions are now available.
-
It's draft day everybody! Starting about 6 hours from this message - hopefully no one has time zone confusion. You can go ahead and click Auction Draft from this page anytime to get in, explore, add players to your queue, etc.
-
Ah, nearly forgot to finish up the series at the end of the week! The last three, the longshots and rebuilders/reloaders: #10 - Smoak and Mirrors (16:1); #11 - Rime of Jamie Moyer (20:1); and the final listing once again, #12 - Roberto Big Piece (25:1).
-
love the deep dive into the teams! Can’t wait to start the seasons!!!
-
Nearly missed getting Pt. 3 in by the end of Wednesday! #5 - Carlos Perez's K-Dance (10:1), #6 - Mighty Monsters (13:1), #7 - Hornswogglers (13:1), #8 - Max Homa (14:1), #9 - Cub Your Enthusiasm (14:1). Tightly bunched in the middle there, our defending champs and some top contenders from last year, plus some newer blood whose keeper values the projections liked.
-
Anyway, today's part 2: The other favorites, #2-4. Roar from 34 (7:1), St. Neubauten Red Ducks (7:1), Can't Cutch This! (8:1). A couple of recent champions (ok, maybe '16 isn't that recent, Roar, but it is compared to me), and a "team on the rise" in Cutch. Where is Carlos Perez? Perennially underestimated, it would seem.
-
Hornswogglers is the new Fish, but already more active than the old Fish! Like dropping the Devil from the Rays, time to start a new legacy!
-
Hornswogglers FTW.

At least three.
-
I wish I was the team everyone had to worry about, but I did my own calculations and consulted a different Ottoguru. We both think there are three teams more likely to be popping bottles at season's end.
PS - Hornswogglers, check your inbox for seventeen unique trade offers.
-
How did I luck into so much extra bonus analytical material for my $20? It's the only lucky thing that's ever happened in my most miserable, lowly existence. Inkosi-Kaas goes on the absolutely no-trade list for fear I will get Tampa Bay Ray'd and look even more foolish than usual.
-
Ok, time for a new series to whet your appetites: 2021 championship odds, via that ottoneu surplus calculator I mentioned (plus even value/$ in the draft), and a not-supported-by-any-real-historical-analysis pythagorean ratio I made up. Already revealed that Inkosi-Kaas wound up looking the best in it, so I'll start at 1 this time and work my way to 12. I've got 1-Inkosi as a 5:1 favorite going into this year. To be continued...
-
Some recognition should be given to Inkosi, who would've been at the top of these rankings a year ago, but made moves to now be atop a different ranking -- most current value per eamuscatuli's Ottoneu Surplus Calculator. Ended St Neubauten's several-season run, I believe.
-
Congrats ont he cover story, RBP!

Cover of Ottoneu Illustrated saying "2026 Imaginary Hammers Champions"

Aww yeah! I'm basically the 2013 Astros.

Farm Part 4! The finale for which you've been waiting. Especially Keith. 3 - Roar from 34 (CJ Abrams, Jasson Dominguez, why so high... oh yeah WANDER FRANCO THE 80 PROSPECT). 2 - Mighty Monsters (quantity over quality, with nine 50-55 prospects led by Josiah Gray and JJ Bleday). And at #1, yes, it is Roberto Big Piece and the 69ers with Gore, Torkelson, Patino, Manning, Brujan, and like 10 more, with only Tork and Austin Martin at a $10+ price.
-
Farm Part 3! I'm noting that #3-#7 were all very tightly bunched. 6 - Smoak and Mirrors (Pache, Pearson, Royce Lewis, and more). 5 - Cub Your Enthusiasm (Arozarena still a rookie and benefited from no arb, Luciano, Witt Jr., and more). 4 - Rime of Jamie Moyer (Hayes and Carlson still count, plus Marsh and Julio Rodriguez make four 60s).
-
I guess everyone ahead either has quantity of 55-60 grade prospects, or a Wander Franco.
-
This is my World Series you guys
-
Farm Part 2! Now I'm excited to roll these out 3 per day til the end of the week. Suspense. 9 - Fish (Kiriloff, Skubal, $11 Triston McKenzie). 8 - St Neubauten ($15! Vaughn, Campusano, couple of 50s). 7 - Max Homa (Kelenic, Anderson, Sixto and more... how is this team not higher?)
-
May your shape hold steady, prospect ranking devotees.

Yes Mateo, I am drying evenly as well while awaiting the prospect rankings.
-
I just work up from a 3 month nap, what happened :-)
-
These rankings have me on tenterhooks.
-
Yeah, I do not feel bad criticizing the non-producing sector of the back-to-back champs.
-
Bet you that's the only time CP'sK-D finishes last in anything in 2021...

Farm Rankings Part 1! Using the fangraphs Board and a quantitative process that I will not elaborate upon, I have rankings of our teams' prospects and might as well share them. Let's count down! 12 - Carlos Perez's K-Dance (Jordan Balazovic, Yusniel Diaz). 11 - Can't CUTCH This (Noelvi Marte, Clarke Schmidt). 10 - Inkosi-Kaas (Adley Rutschmann, a 65 prospect but at $11, Ryan Mountcastle, Triston Casas). More to come.
-
Bet you Jackie Bradley Jr. beats them to it...though I likely wouldn't have kept him anyway...

Looking forward to suddenly hearing tomorrow that Puig and Cespedes have signed and Andujar's been traded where he'll have an everyday role. :P

All legal, Commish.

I’m done cutting players. Thanks so much Justin!
-
Approximate 6 hour warning. I've continued to unlock teams as they make a round of cuts to allow flexibility up to the deadline, but please don't count on it more than once or twice more. 10/12 teams meeting legal roster rules, and the other 2 have messaged me saying they're on it by the deadline. :)
-
And when precisely is the deadline? I guess we should say the same time as the usual official ottoneu one, 9 pm PT / midnight ET this Sunday evening, 2/28.
-
Glad to see some more cuts coming in. Remember that after each wave you do I have to unlock you if you want to do more; it's very easy (like 3 clicks) but I do have to see it and go there. I'll try to get on 2-3 times a day til the deadline, but you can also message me if it's been a while.
-
The Commish unlock me. Thanks for the response, Red.

Yes, in this league this specific year, free roster cuts until 2/28/21. The commissioner will need to unlock your roster since you made the cuts you made earlier today, Paulie.

Can anyone confirm free player cuts until 2/28? If so, how do I get my roster unlocked? Thank you.

As are we all, I imagine. Welcome, Paulie.
