Stanton could’ve done that for any of your teams, just saying...
-
Alright who wants Correa/Anderson? I'll soon have one too many MIF and I ain't winning anything this year. Same goes for half my pitching staff...
-
Anybody interested in Kirby Yates for next season? Need to shed some salary.

Hey all, I’ve been slacking a bit on the league buy in. We’ll keep it at $50 this year. Please pay when you can. Venmo is easiest for me (@Austin-Cibulka). I also have PayPal, if you would prefer to pay a different way, please contact me. Payout: 1st-$400, 2nd-$150, 3rd-$50. I know in years past we have implemented a fee if minimum games/IP were not reached. I have not considered that for this year and since the season has already started, I would be reluctant to add it. Open for discussion.
-
Just so no ones confused that last trade is only to send the $8 I owed I’m Short and we will be sending the relievers back once it goes through.
-
just so there’s no drama... i was the last one in the draft room and texted the commish that i was taking josh naylor... just as a heads up
-
Auction draft starting in 15 minutes!
-
Hey all - don't forget our draft is scheduled for this Thursday, March 25 at 7:30 Central time. A little strange to have it in the middle of the week, but this is the evening that everyone could make.
-
I think I have individually messaged everyone in the league and have came to the conclusion to set the draft for Thursday, March 25 at 7:30 PM central time. Looking forward to it
-
I'm good for that Sunday and time.
-
I'm pretty flexible on the day, but as late as possible PST would be really appreciated. That's a crazy time of year with college/MLB/MiLB cranking.... Opening Day will be on time.
-
I was actually thinking about that tonight. I was planning on setting Sunday, March 28 at 6 PM CST for the draft. But if opening day gets pushed back to the end of April, we will most likely push our draft day back into April as well. If there are any conflicts with March 28, please let me know.

Do we have a draft date and time set yet?
-
That Waffle House thing sounds like more like a reward, but that’s just cause I’m a sucker for a good Waffle House.
-
I say let him keep him. He'll be on the IL all yr anyway. ;)
-
And for every waffle you eat 1 hour is taken off the time. So 23 waffles in hour one and he’s done.
-
How about I sit inside a Waffle House for 24 hours and then I get Taillon back

Due to such late notice on being added to the league, I am going to extend Corey’s cut deadline by a day. You’ll see some more players that I cut for him here shortly. Jake (Compulsive) is also desperately pleading to add Jameson Taillon back to his team due to an accidental cut so I welcome any ideas for consequence in return for allowing him to add Jameson back to his roster

TROUT HAS BEEN CUT... it was a nice run... is he the last player from 2014 to be cut?
-

CORY!!! you are good luck... way to bring arenado with you!

We have a new owner, Cory who will be taking over the Syndicate’s team. Thanks to Gregg at Kuhl Krushers for the quick recommendation!

A few other quick notes: 1) don’t forget to extend your Ottoneu subscription. You can do this on the Ottoneu homepage. If you don’t complete this by January 31 you will risk losing your team. 2) keeper deadline is also January 31. After this day you will not be able to make cuts or trades until after the auction draft is completed. Thanks to everyone for staying active this off-season. Looking forward to the auction draft and the start of the season in a few months.

Yesterday I received a message from the manager of The Syndicate saying he will not be able to play this year. We now need a new manager for that team ASAP. Let me know if you know anyone interested. In a few weeks I will probably reach out to the Ottoneu community if we don’t have anyone we know personally. Anyone who joins will be able to make their cuts after the upcoming deadline since this notice is so short.

Do the Padres think they are in our fantasy league?!? Major moves for them.
-
let the trading begin!
-
Hey all, there are still 3 teams left who need to allocate dollars in arbitration. The deadline is in 3 days. Please do not forget.

First time I have ever seen Dustin May... is he the 2nd coming of Sideshow Bob?
-
I just double checked. I swore Yahoo had a hard cap, but they don't either.
-
Soo after reading a back and forth that went nowhere, I gathered that this rule is stupid and unfair, but it probably won’t matter so we should ignore it. Fair enough, if anyone wants JD Martinez I’ll sell him for a Church of Scientology bumper sticker

We could switch to Yahoo. They have a hard cap in place... /s
-
And now I have the blueprint for how to do it!
-
which means next season is going to be decided by 5 points 😂
-
great find ben.. i knew it had been around for forever but i had never seen that article.. great article explaining everything.. the main takeaway is we have played 6 full seasons and in a full season there is like a .00001% chance this would matter so we are all arguing about nothing lol the margin of 1st to 2nd has been 900, 350, 700, 1000, 300, and 1400
-
LMAO it's almost like we're not the first to run into these questions
-
that's a good read... all of our points exactly and why. In a 1500 IP season it should be negligible.

where are time stamps of individual pitches and their corresponding outcomes located? i’m not aware of a site that houses that info.. do you know a site that goes into that much detail?
-
We have clocks for a reason. If the above scenarios occur, you go by when the 1500 happened. I’d FAR trust time stamps over what we have now.
-
when does the single count? before the review if it was upheld? after the review is over? everything would need to be time stamped to the second to remove any potential arguments.. ps i work in compliance and legal lol that’s why this hard cap is insane to implement.. if the system allowed it.. i would 100% be for a hard cap.. i agree with everybody on the terrible rule, but i am guessing it’s there because of system parameters and a soft cap removes liability from niv
-
but when do you force people to only start 1 SP cause they are close to 1500? what’s that limit? and what if i am at 1480 with 3 SP and 5 RP going.. that *should* be something like 5 innings per SP and say 3 innings from RP.. 18 total so i was budgeting to stop at around 1498.. but then all 3 SP throw complete games so i finish at 1510.. and that last out to get to 1500 is surrounded by 3 homers and a single (and the single was under review)... what happened first in those 5 separate games?
-
The problem is we don’t have to “deal with” a soft cap. Could easily force everyone once they get to 1500 to not put anyone in their rotation. I’ve done this for 4 straight years, it’s EASILY doable
-
cause if we start changing system parameter rules, then i would like for somebody to manually count and keep track of during the season the points i should get for starting a RP in a RP slot, but the team all of a sudden decides to use them as an “opener” for that game and i don’t get the points because my RP wasn’t in the SP slot... i think it works the same in reverse with SP being used as RP... i think that is a dumb rule... but that’s just the rules of ottoneu so we have to deal with it
-
here’s how i see it.. i don’t think one owner would pick soft cap over hard cap if the system parameters were in place for us to choose.. but they aren’t, this is solely a niv question with the ottoneu platform and i’m guessing it’s soft cap cause a hard cap would raise a ton of issues on the programming side of things... and i am 100% against us changing system parameter rules cause that creates a manual mess
-
FWIW as a new entry and relatively objective participant, the soft cap is a bit strange. What's the solution, though? Hard cap where within a day when a team reaches the max, it stops counting? I'm all for people taking advantage of the rules in place (I mean look at Trump's tax returns) but shouldn't we also try and fix dumb rules if possible?
-
For what it’s worth I’m happy to keep the rules the same. However I refuse to ever use a soft cap to help me win a championship. I have had 1500 innings my previous 3 seasons and 563 2/3 this year. If you can’t beat someone at the cap, you aren’t good enough to win. When Jordan Lyles who is worse than my grandma gets put on the bump cause of a soft cap rule, think about how ridiculous that sounds. No one ACTUALLY likes the rule whether we keep it or not. Love the league so much, awful rule
