"All Rise" also pertains to arbitrations.

We are doing ours today.

Nvm. I just looked at the rules and figured it out. Funny how reading answers questions...

Quick point of clarification - does anyone know if the deadline is midnight tonight or midnight tomorrow?

Quick reminder for those that haven't completed their allocations yet. The deadline is tomorrow! Also, don't forget the formula for maximum you can allocate to each team: $3, less the number of emojis in their team name! =)

I'm in a league with 5 milb and I thought it would be more fun than it is. It's actually a drag to follow since it's not on our webpage. I'd vote no.

I volunteer to track it if the league votes for it. Doesn't sound like a ton of "Yea's" though
-
Thanks for bringing up Rule 1.c BFD. I missed it earlier, but it's pretty straightforward and makes perfect sense. It also makes the discussion about adding a rule unnecessary. As for MiLB, I'm fine either way, but if the league votes in favor, I'd like somebody else to manage it.
-
I don't have a strong opinion on the 5 MiLB idea. I'm fine with doing it or not doing it.
-
Not sure WD's defense is rock solid (see Rule I.c), but I also don't see the need for a new rule. There are a few threads about this in the Ottoneu Community forums, and its sounds like Niv Shah is going to institute a change next year that will prevent players from being claimed on waivers less than 1 day before the end of the season (http://community.ottoneu.com/t/waiver-claims-last-day-of-the-season/2244). Kudos to WD for the sly move. Now we're on notice--don't cut players too soon.
-
Thanks for the "small" gift, Blach OPS. I'll put it in my collection, right next to 🐎🐓.
-
Didn't we debate that last year? I'm not in favor of that either. I feel like we roster a ton of minor leaguers already and I think it's a fun thing to be able to pick up less heralded minor leaguers when they make the majors (see e.g. Luis Castillo, Matt Olson). But those are minor-ish objections. My main issue is that 24 hour slow draft and tracking system for this 5 man roster seems like a nightmare to manage (not to mention figuring out eligibility for the 5 man roster)

I agree w/ Jeets, no new rule necessary. Can we debate the 5 MiLB idea for next year? https://www.fangraphs.com/fantasy/ottoneu-101-the-5milb-structure/

BFD, Welcome to the sub-faction of JaBO aka The Emoji. I present a "small" gift (no pun intended) 🍆 .
-
I don’t see why a rule is needed. Doesn’t seem like this is a big advantage, he’s got more to work with in trades but if anyone wanted these players for those prices they would have put in a claim. I don’t think our league has enough turn over to worry about new teams getting taken advantage of. Jeets makes a good point about this is a good countermeasure to teams cutting too much as well.

All the guys WD added were the guys I cut to make room for one start from fried and mcguire. I would obviously have rather kept those guys or had them back in the draft pool. The fact that I knew someone like WD could claim those players kept me a little honest. I think it’s perfectly fine.

I’m against adding a new rule. It has been a thing in the past for people to nominate a bunch of prospects on the final day and then they just end up cutting them on cutdown day, so it’s mostly a whole lotta blah in the end. Also, i think it serves another purpose in preventing the top teams from churning their rosters too hard at the end of the season.

I'm in another league where you are forced to get your roster down to 40 players the day the season ends . I would very much like that rule to be put into place in this league as well if the majority agrees. It's smart what WD did, but I don't think it's good for the league. What ends up happening is players can take advantage of inexperienced players with trade bait in the off-season.

That said, I think WD's defense is rock solid and don't think he should be forced to make any cuts. My question is, do you think we should implement a rule going forward that does not allow teams to exceed roster and/or budget limits without corresponding cuts at the end of a season?
-
For me, the language in VII (d) is probably intended for two purposes: 1) the removal of 60-day DL designations in the offseason shouldn't make teams illegal for going over roster limit and 2) teams that have received loans shouldn't be illegal for going over the $400 reset budget. I don't think it was intended to allow managers to theoretically nominate the entire free agent pool at the end of a season with no attention to roster limits or budget limits.
-
WD aptly referred to rule VII (d) which states, "However, there is no salary cap from the end of the MLB season until the keeper deadline." adding that these transactions were actually processed the next day following the end of the season.
-
Speaking of diplomacy, WD and I recently had an interesting chat and I'd like to get the opinion of the league on the issue. In checking out the Finances tab to do a quick end of season audit, I noticed WD didn't make any corresponding cuts upon adding B. Miller, Lester, Polanco, Walker and Robertson, which brought him well above his roster and budget limits, so I wrote asking if he could make the correction before allocations start.
-
Welcome to the JABO, BFD! I echo YJ's sentiments. Strong cast of characters here. All we ask is to please pay the dues before making any arbitration allocations or roster changes. Thanks and good luck!
-
Welcome to the league, friend. Glad to have you. Think you'll find this a damn fun and competitive league.

Just claimed NovaCain. You all seem like a talented lot. Looking forward to the challenge of turning NovaCain into a contender. Gotta get me a new team name though. Clearly, something with an emoji is in order.

I recognize El Ocho from 581; he's from the Netherlands. He's elite.
-
I’m in another league that is solid and competitive, I’ll post there and see if anyone wants it. There’s also another team abandoned in that league too (same settings) that’s up for grabs if anyone wants. League 581, team “Aviato”

Gents. I vacated the NovaCain team. Before I send it to the abandoned team list where anybody can claim it, I thought I'd give the league an opportunity to suggest any competitive managers they might know of that could be interested. Let's fill this spot in time to participate in arbitration. Also, if you do not plan on renewing for '18, now would be a great time to let us know! Thanks all.
-
Even though I'm on the darkside of the Emoji, I have to represent...let this be a new precedence. THERE IS HOPE FOR EMOJI POWER!

Congrats BOPS! That was a fierce September, but with exception of a few days here and there, you led from the start and managed to cling on all the way to the finish. Huge 2nd half run from YJ and I think WAR has finished in the money every year I've been here. I'm curious where our league ranking stands, but I think there's a good chance we finished in the top 20 yet again.
