Congrats K/9 on a well played season!
-
Yeah, no season will definitely have a lot of bizarre consequences. I don't have a problem with the salary increases, it's the arbitration that worries me. Ottoneu does resemble real-life, but things move a lot faster here than in MLB. In MLB you have control of a player for 6 years, yet almost no player is kept in ottoneu for 6 years straight.
-
Ottoneu reflects real life managing of a team. In real life salaries will go up, contracts will expire etc. So while it hurts to not gain any value from it current contacts, it's not as bad as real life if we only face increases. Think of how the Dodgers feel any thing for Betts and losing the entire season. I'm not opposed to a salary freeze, but if it doesn't happen, just remember it could be worse.
-
I don't think the $1 or $2 salary increases will make much of a difference - although if we wanted to avoid that, technically we have commissioner tools that can edit salary. The main problem to me is another round of arbitration, so hopefully it won't come to it, but if the season is cancelled I guess we can take a vote and see what everyone wants to do about that.
-
I posted on the community message board and this is the response I got from Niv - Position eligibility remains in place based on 2019 games played.
Salary increases happen as normal, since service time will accrue as normal in real life
Arbitration will be in place, though your leagues can choose to entirely skip arbitration if you want.
This is all subject to change, and I’ll make it very clear on how Ottoneu will proceed if MLB does officially cancel the 2020 season.
-
Sorry for the delayed response, TT&MOM. I am under the impression that Niv will be considering the circumstances (once we know what they are) and deciding how arbitration and inflation will be handled in the Ottoneu universe. I suggest we go with whatever is decided on that level. I think it makes sense to freeze salaries and skip arb, but I've only been playing Ottoneu for a year now, so there might be some depth to the issue that I don't fully understand.
-
First of all, I hope everyone is holding up okay and staying safe!
So, this is probably (almost definitely) premature, but what I've been wondering is - if the season is cancelled, what will happen with inflation / arbitration? I feel like it wouldn't make much sense to have another round of salary increases without any games being played. But I'd be interested to hear what everyone else thinks.
-
Anybody thinking about trades right now? I know there's uncertainty, but I'm willing to talk if there's other interested parties. Hope you are all safe and healthy.
-
Fair warning to the league - I'm already getting into some serious trade negotiations on some of my top guys. If you're interested, better get competitive offers in quick!
-
Thanks, Ruffnecks! Pleased to have another team with a bunch of guys I don't own elsewhere...
-
Welcome aboard FT!
-
Hi all. I'm excited to be here, and have a new Ottoneu rebuild challenge. I think you'll find that I'm very active on the trade front, and am always interested in fielding fair(ish) offers. Let me get my bearings a bit and do my round of cuts, and I should be able to hit the ground running.
-
Hey all, Chin Music had to leave the league, and he's just been replaced by a new owner. Welcome!
-
Thanks for doing the cat herding on the commissioner stuff.
-
Auction is set for Thursday, Feb 27th @ 8:30 PM EST
-
Still waiting on 3 more teams to complete the poll! If you want to have a say in the auction date, make sure to enter your availability before the end of the weekend. Right now we have a few dates where everyone has said they're available, so we'll choose the winning date on Monday morning.
-
Just as a reminder, if the auction is on a weekday (Mon - Fri) it will be at 8:30 PM EST, otherwise it will be at 1 PM EST
-
Here is the link to the poll, please select all days that you're available and we'll choose the earliest one that we can all be there for. https://doodle.com/poll/4bpwybtvcead73vp
-
I am not availble on Saturday March 14th but other than that I am good to go on any other day.
-
So we need to figure out a date for the auction - but we need to know what time will work for everyone. I believe we have a couple people that are outside the US, which will make things a bit trickier.
In the past we've usually done around 8:30 PM EST on a week night, or 1 PM EST on a weekend. The auction usually takes about 2 - 2.5 hours.
Is there anyone that these times DO NOT work for?
-
Welcome Shawn!
-
By the way my name is Shawn.
-
Hey all, I claimed the open team and joined the league. Made some cuts to get under cap.
-
Not yet, we'll need a poll to see what day works for everyone. I'll put one together in the next day or two
-
Do we have a date for the auction set yet?
-
Looks like I'll be entering the season with Verlander + Osuna, but I'm still willing to move one or both of them for some cost-controlled players.
-
I'm waiting til the last day. I think we will most likely look to replace any teams that don't participate in arbitration, so make sure you don't miss the deadline if you want to stay for next season!
-
4 days left for allocations. If you plan on waiting until the last day, let me know and I'll stop busting chops.
-
Friendly reminder to get on those allocations. Only 10 days left!
-
Thanks! Glad to be joining.
-
welcome aboard Walt!

Congratulations to Cruz! Nice back to back wins.
-
If anyone else plans on leaving, give us a heads up so we can start a plan for replacements.
-
Good luck to you too!
-
Hey guys, you've been a nice group of people for the most part, and I've enjoyed competing with most of you, but this is my last year here. Good luck next year!
-
Thanks for joining! Look forward to having you.
-
Hi everyone! Just took over Inside-Hr! Will be updating things here in just a bit. Happy to be here!
-
Any luck on a replacement owner for MLB Inside Home Run?
-
Hey all, I don't have time time/energy/interest to continue playing so abandoning my team. Doing so ASAP to give someone the opportunity to take it and play for next year. It's been fun. Good luck.
-
Thanks! Excited to join the league
