As tricky as accommodating our many time zones will be for a live auction, I think a slow auction would be even harder. Everyone can probably squeeze in a live auction, even at a less-than-ideal time, but asking managers on the West Coast and in Europe to both keep track of a slow auction for many days, if not weeks, would be a big ask. If league mates are super keen on the slow auction format, we could consider it for '23, but let's stick with the live auction for this season.

I am not in favor of a slow auction. While I understand the appeal of avoiding the scheduling discussion, a slow auction takes a LOT more time than a zippy live auction simply due to the constant checking day after day. Also, the best time to discuss significant league format changes is between the WS and the keeper deadline. I know auction style doesn't actually change in-season play, but it's not trivial either.

I can't speak for my co-owner but I vote "no" on a slow auction. Yes, getting together can be a pain but it gets done in a few hours. A slow auction would be akin to what's happening now in MLB. My suggestion would be to have a later freeze date each year. GF

Slow auction works for me.
-
I’m flexible and would be fine either way
-
I’ll +1 a slow auction. I always prefer a live auction, but life is a bit hectic for me at the moment and slow auction would be helpful.

Also, any chance I could talk you fellas into doing a slow auction instead of a live auction? I’d be happy to run it, take care of player inputs, etc. It negates scheduling issues and gives us something to do over this fallow period.
-
Dang, that’s right. Shoulda paid more attention!
-
I'm good, I made all the cuts I desired and will be within the cap once my last trade is processed
-
Looks like we have a couple guys that didn't make cuts - Rose & Savoy's, you guys okay?
-
Notice: Ottoneu admin moved the keeper deadline back to February 15 due to the lockout. This date may change again depending on how long things drag on.

i thought the cuts were part of the lockout?
-
No problem
-
Eckfords should get the players back.
-
For whatever it's worth, I have nothing against the commish rectifying this issue. Happens every once in awhile - no biggie.
-
Hello all...this is GF, the computer-challenged member of the Eckfords' ownership. I thought I was reviewing our roster to see where we might cut salary. Instead, I ended up cutting a bunch of players, some of whom we might keep. I am hopeful the commissioner get correct my error.

One week left to arb… Looks like the Nimmos may have checked out - anyone heard from them?
-
Hello everyone, I'm one of the new guys. Thanks for having me. Happy to join this league. I'm looking forward to a good new season. Hopefully PA and MLB can agree on a new CBA.
-
I have four new owner candidates for the league's consideration. Head on over to Slack for their profiles and a discussion. I'd like to make a decision within a week or so in order to give the new owners time to get oriented before arb season.

Chap (manager of Green Bregs and Ham) let me know he is departing the league. I'll post the vacancy on Otto-Slack, but it would be great if any of you can bring someone into the league for either of the open rosters.

It recently came to my attention, via slack, that we have a fantasy baseball league. How about that?? Ok, think I'm done here. Carry on gents.

It was a fun season! Thanks everyone for a fun year, I look forward to the offseason fun as well! :)
-
Due to the mentioned budget constraints I intend to take the Reds approach next year and not try to contend while hoping that fans show up to buy all the Bryce Harper and other player bobbleheads that will be heavily featured week to week to take the focus off of me no longer trying to help my team win. I would also like to mention that I am in no way a disgruntled reds fan lol

The Rose bloomed magnificently in 2021. Wait till next year!

Congrats to the Roses! A dominant performance for sure.

Cheers to everyone on a surprisingly normal 2021 season. Enjoy the MLB playoffs and start plotting your arb strategies!

However, the Rose ownership group has already indicated that the staggering hike in payroll is "unsustainable" and that the club "lost money", despite selling out every game and receiving $300 million from selling NFTs of Bryce Harper's facial expressions. The dismantling of this championship squad will be swift and merciless, as the team is forced to enter 2022 under the $400 salary cap.

War of the Roses! Congratulations to Harold for piloting Rose in the Front to the 2021 title! It was a multi-team battle through June, but a series of aggressive trades late in the month proved decisive as Rose pulled away, eventually accumulating an impressive 20,284 points.

Sorry all....trying to stream pitchers to maximize innings is a lot harder in ottoneu than yahoo!

Maybe they should've been!

Nah, they just exhaled after thinking they were all going to be shipped out.

a negative points day the day after the trade deadline? seems like my clubhouse is responding to my lack of trade deadline activity

I would like Acuna on my roster
-
I'm looking to rebalance my roster, so I'm making Acuna available for the right price. Come and get your hands on Ottoneu's premier superstar for the paltry sum of 50 bucks!
-
I’ve been there - no worries!
-
OOOPS!! In our cut frenzy we mistakenly dropped Laureano (at least for now) and have asked the commish to put him back on our roster.
