For my part, I like the blind auction rules and would be against posting bids publicly. That said, I do understand the frustration that you basically have to reveal who you think is going to be good moving forward as part of the blind auction process... But, as Rime said, those are the rules in Ottoneu.
-
It's site-wide ottoneu rules, nothing we can do in this league unless everyone wanted to agree to post their bids publicly. But what's the issue here? How would open bidding or "waiting" help you? If you have $71 of cap room and weren't willing to go higher than $6 on a guy you wanted, it doesn't seem like that's on anyone else.

I'm not bitter, but, why is the draft an open auction while the free agent during season pickup is a blind auction? just saying. Not bitter at all.... .... just wondering what the rational behind that is...? Not irritated at all... just would like to know the..... thought process. Not irritated.... Not irritated.... I'm used to yahoo leagues that reward me for paying attention. Here it seems others are awarded for me doing my homework. I'm a whiner. Fine. From now on I'll just wait...

Thanks, Fish. Now I need a bunch more of those types of moves to compete with the big boys in this league. :)

Well, I guess I must bow down to THE DATA of fangraphs after exhibiting skepticism towards Eric Thames in the draft. Great pick, Rook.

It can be slow to update players on new teams, and then it shows game info based on the wrong teams. It should be fixed once they appear in a game with their new team.
-
Anybody else seeing weird stuff on the their Lineups page? Mine shows Khris Davis as already playing in a game vs. Colorado, when the A's won't take the field until tonight, and that he is a minor league player in the Milwaukee system.

Now that we have standings, tied auctions will be settled by whoever is lower when the auction completes. However, because the season has just started, the standings will change wildly during the next week. It can be very frustrating to lose a tiebreaker to someone who then jumps 8 spots in the standings an hour later.

Juan Nicasio fact of the day: On July 4, 2016, Nicasio became only the 74th player to pitch an Immaculate Inning in a Major League game.

I won a system-automated coin flip, which it says in the email but seemingly nowhere else. Before the season it's a coin-flip, the moment it starts it's in reverse order of standings.
-
Ok, just so I'm clear - how was it decided that Pillar O' Teeth won the Hendricks claim o'er Fish, since both bid $2?

Wow, at first glance that Bumgarner+Abreu deal looked pretty unbalanced. But I guess considering cap space it's more than just the players involved. I always lean towards letting owners do what they want.

Need a cheap bat? Victor Martinez, $2 Professional Hitter/1B, available, for cheap SP. Or, you know, what have you, as I've got one too many 1Bs.

Pretty good draft, but I find myself one OF short of a full deck. If anyone is interested in Abreu for a quality OF, hit me up. Mancini would also be available for a high-upside OF, perhaps one with some PT questions like he has. A secondary need would be SS for a SP.

I'm going to join the draft late. I wouldn't expect you to wait for me, but thought I'd let you know. I only have about 30 cents to spend anyway.

And if you don't fill your team in the draft, you can always start 48-hour auctions. I'd try to stagger them over the next week so you can plan as you get players.
-
Draft is at 4 ET! Some helpful tips: You can get into the room early (now, even), take a look at how things are laid out, even search players and fill your queue. Note that on your Nomination turn, there's no obvious sound cue, and if your timer runs down, your turn is skipped. So pay attention to the nomination order and when you're coming up.
-
Yeah, there is no requirement to have a backup at any position. The ottoneu rules say you must be able to start a full lineup, but we've never been strict about what that means either.
-
There is no enforced requirement. Have as many players at whatever positions you think will get you the best stats.
