• Would anyone be interested in standing in as a proxy for a team in another of my leagues? Draft is Monday March 24, 8-10pm edt. The team has $190 free cap and 19 of 40 players. Nice team with a newbie manager who can’t make the draft and would like a little help. Let me know. Thanks for considering.

  Hell and Back on March 6, 2025 11:21 PM

• Hi all, I won’t be able to make the draft tonight, but I’m comfortable filling my roster post draft

  Fightin’ Philly Phrenetics on February 28, 2025 2:33 PM

• Let’s stick with the 28th, the rest of the options are worse. I can help find a substitute drafter on the ottoneu Slack if anyone needs it

  Curlin on February 16, 2025 1:32 PM

• We should find a time before those games. We have over a month of days to find an hour of time to draft. Unfair to the teams that have players, and more importantly pitchers, that are playing in those two games. This is coming from someone that doesn't really have people in those game

  Czech Mate on February 16, 2025 10:56 AM

• My only input on this is that it's better to not have a team at the auction and use a proxy from the Ottoneu message boards than to not count points for the Japan series.

  wRC Digs the Long Ball on February 14, 2025 3:13 PM

• It sounds like there is a team unavailable the 28th. Can everyone take one more look at the Doodle poll and make sure there aren't any other days you could make work to draft? Or are there other times of the day on some of those days you could make work? Would be great if we can get everyone available. Otherwise to get everyone we might need to push later in March after that opening series (in which case points wouldn't count for those few games)

  Curlin on February 14, 2025 3:00 PM

• I have it at 8pm EST. I've heard from one manager that it would be hard to do later than that. I'd be ok going earlier than that if everyone prefers, though that may be hard for some West Coast folks

  Curlin on February 11, 2025 11:41 PM

• Works for me. What's the start time EST/PST?

  wRC Digs the Long Ball on February 11, 2025 9:07 PM

• Ok scratch that, sounds like Feb 28th is actually the best bet. If that can’t work for anyone let me know asap!

  Curlin on February 11, 2025 7:24 PM

• Works for me

  TreeHouse on February 11, 2025 5:38 PM

• As of now with most of the league responding to the pool, it looks like March 5th is probably our best bet. If anyone can't possibly make that work, please let me know ASAP.

  Curlin on February 11, 2025 3:22 PM

• In addition, I put 8pm EST as the default but if you are generally available earlier in the day please let me know (I seem to remember last year a little earlier in the day worked best for the draft). As an example, I’m on the west coast, but with two kids under three it’d almost be easier to take a few hours off work and draft in the afternoon west coast time!

  Curlin on February 8, 2025 7:13 PM

• Hey everyone, I’ve put together a Doodle poll to try to gather availability to schedule the draft. Please be as flexible as possible as it’s really difficult to line up 12 schedules all over the globe!

• Welcome Blake , great competitors here….

  TreeHouse on February 6, 2025 6:47 PM

• Hey all. I'm Blake (manager of wRC Digs the Long Ball). I've been playing Ottoneu since 2019. I know I'm a little late claiming this team, but I'm looking forward to the season! See you all at the auction.

  wRC Digs the Long Ball on February 6, 2025 5:48 PM

• Welcome to the league new Long Ball team! Glad we are back to full, I’ll try to get a draft availability poll out sooner than later.

  Curlin on February 6, 2025 3:33 PM

• Reminder, TODAY is the final day to make cuts to get your roster legal and ready for the auction! Deadline is midnight EST, so that's 9pm for those of us on the West Coast. Looks like almost the entire league has renewed already (thanks!), but if you are waiting until the last minute please do so today as well.

  Curlin on January 31, 2025 2:03 PM

• Reminder the deadline to renew your team for next season and to get your roster legal is January 31st. Once everyone has renewed we can start scheduling the draft.

  Curlin on January 20, 2025 11:01 PM

• Welcome to the league!

  Curlin on January 20, 2025 10:59 PM

• Welcome new owner! Looks like we've got a full league now :)

  Fair Dinkum 🇦🇺 on January 20, 2025 7:24 PM

• Hey all. Excited to pick up the team and get to work on this roster. I’ll start updating trade blocks and get a name change shortly. Feel free to send interests or offers… not much time before the deadline so looking to work quick.

  Dinger Derby on January 20, 2025 7:13 PM

• Draft dates?

  TreeHouse on January 20, 2025 6:59 PM

• Welcome to the league, glad to have you!

  Curlin on January 10, 2025 1:39 PM

• Hello folks! Branham Biggers here, I just claimed Club 393, hope that’s ok….been playing Ottoneu since 2011, and was looking to add another team. I’m a reliable owner, active on a daily basis, and live for trades!! Looking forward to getting to know you, I’ve got a little work to do on this roster, so welcome me by sending some offers, lol.

  The Syndicate on January 10, 2025 1:24 PM

• Welcome to the league!

  Curlin on December 26, 2024 11:17 PM

• welcome new QAM owner!

  Fair Dinkum 🇦🇺 on December 26, 2024 8:01 PM

• Now that arbitration is over, I’m open for business to talk trades!

  Fightin’ Philly Phrenetics on November 15, 2024 8:55 AM

• Looks like everyone has submitted arbitration, thanks all!

  Curlin on November 14, 2024 12:43 PM

• Quick reminder, one week left to complete arbitration. If you are planning to wait until the last day, please let me know, otherwise get it in sooner than later if you can! Thanks

  Curlin on November 7, 2024 1:39 PM

• Hi everyone, I am planning on scaling down my Ottoneu team commitment for next year so I would like to removed from ownership for my team. I have already allocated for arbitration so we should be covered. Thank you!

  Young Larry on October 21, 2024 2:28 PM

• Congrats on a well played championship!

  TreeHouse on October 1, 2024 6:35 AM

• Thanks, and congrats to Czech and Hell and Back as well!

  Curlin on October 1, 2024 1:07 AM

• Appreciate you all. Thanks for letting me join and thanks for the fun years. Time for some playoff baseball

  Czech Mate on September 30, 2024 10:03 PM

• Yes, congrats to Curlin on yet another well played season and Czech Mate whose play checkmated the rest of us. Well done.

  Hell and Back on September 30, 2024 8:38 PM

• Congrats on a really fun season, everyone! And kudos especially to Curlin on his repeat championship and Czech Mate for the extremely impressive 12th-to-2nd performance. Quite the inspiration for us perpetual cellar dwellers!

  Fair Dinkum 🇦🇺 on September 30, 2024 8:14 PM

• Quick reminder that all rosters must be legal before the season ends if you make any last minute adds/claims. Thanks!

  Curlin on September 30, 2024 11:12 AM

• One week left til trade deadline, make me an offer!

  TreeHouse on August 24, 2024 10:46 AM

• Nice of you, Mr VLS Votto. Thanks and same to you.

  Hell and Back on June 16, 2024 2:52 PM

• Happy Father's Day to all you Dads out there

  Dinger Derby on June 16, 2024 10:43 AM

• Yahoo! 13 on the IL.

  Hell and Back on May 10, 2024 9:41 PM

• Hi Everyone, looking forward to playing with you guys.
  
  Over half of my team is likely to be cut prior to the draft, if you see anyone you’re interested in at their salary please let me know, otherwise they will most likely be thrown back into the draft. I’m planning to make my cuts by Monday so everyone has enough time to prepare for the draft.

  Fightin’ Philly Phrenetics on February 23, 2024 2:02 PM

• Thanks, Curlin, for the hard work in figuring out a draft date and time. Appreciate it.

  Hell and Back on February 22, 2024 11:06 AM

• Welcome to our new manager, Fanatics QC. Glad you're with us. Looking forward to our annual draft on 3/12.

  Hell and Back on February 22, 2024 11:05 AM

• Also, just a quick unrelated public service note, if anyone is interested in wasting even more time on Ottoneu, there is a very active Slack group of at least 750 players that I suspect a number of us are already on. It's helpful/fun and I've learned a lot there over the years. Totally optional, but if anyone is interested let me know and I'll point you to where to request access!

  Curlin on February 21, 2024 12:27 PM

• Welcome to the league to our new manager of the Clay Guida team! As we discussed you get one round of free cuts, but you have to make them all in one big cut so please double-check your list before clicking the button!

  Curlin on February 21, 2024 12:20 PM

• Thanks for doing the work on draft date

  TreeHouse on February 21, 2024 11:55 AM

• Sounds great. Thanks for putting in the effort to get that set up.

  Czech Mate on February 18, 2024 7:04 PM

• Ok, draft is March 12th at 6pm EST. Thanks all

  Curlin on February 18, 2024 6:34 PM

• So far I haven’t heard anyone that can’t do the 12th at 6pm EST (unless I’ve missed something which is definitely possible), though I haven't heard from everyone. I’m tentatively planning to go with that but I’ll give everyone another 24 hours to speak up if that doesn’t work?

  Curlin on February 16, 2024 8:02 PM

• I think Derek D is one of the two Czech Mate owners.
