What are we thinking for the draft? Are we going to try to wait out the lockout or knock it out during the normal draft season?
-
I will share commissioner duties with you. However, I have a pretty complete team and I don't plan on being at the draft until the end. I'm on the east coast and I hit the hay pretty early. You would have to be in charge of the draft.
-
Does someone want to take over the part of active commissioner? Or should we all 4 stay as commissioner and share the duties? I don’t want to do it but I will share the duties if that’s what we decide. I’m already commissioner of another league and I don’t want to take on a second one.
-
Hey Guys. I'm Jeremy and I'm new to the league. I hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving and I look forward to playing with you all this year
-
I say $450
-
It’s a loophole no doubt….I “bought” a lot trying to complete. A limit sounds like a good idea, $500 fine by me but anything works
-
On that subject. We should have a rule that if someone goes up over $500 they have to pay their dues for the next season immediately upon hitting $500. What do you guys think about that? I know that nobody will really be paying attention until probably January, but I would like to hear if anyone disagrees with that rule idea. That was super lame of Milwaukee to do.
-
Ditto
-
Shame on Milwaukee! Takes his payroll up over 700 and then leaves the league after winning. That’s BS man. Anybody can do that. Welcome to the new owner. You’ve got a lot of talent on your team but a lot of cuts to make. Should be interesting. I thought it would’ve been a fun challenge for the last owner but he bailed after he took first. Boo hissssss. I thought it was a little over the top how much Trading he was doing to win it last year when he knew all along he was going to bail.
-
ive made destinys beaver, milwaukees best, hartford yard goats, prestige worldwide commissioners. old league members who can play the game well. good luck. pls abandon this team when u can
-
That's a shame. Cool team name. New owner probably going to change it.
-
Jake from cronenworth franchise is available to claim under the available teams tab on ottoneu dashboard.
-
Please mark my team as abandoned
-
I have no qualms with whoever is willing to hold the reigns

I think the person who won all the money should carry the load as Commissioner.
-
setting a draft date and then getting beat by statnerd. unfortunately for us :||| lol glgllgl
-
Jake From Cronenworth is worried if he becomes commissioner that half the league will quit. this can't be true? Can we have some braves souls give a yea vote? Or would anyone else be interested in becoming commissioner? it's mostly just setting a draft date, everyone here has been pretty prompt.
-
theres no advantage. it might be helpful to try to do it the same day or so as someone else just to help offer some cover, but you can always change things too. offering early would help balance the load if everyone kind of takes a second swipe through and decides to change a few. i think the time frame of a month is mostly because there isn't much reason to rush it. a month is quite accessible and works in a blocky way.
-
Makes sense however owners can change arb figures untill November 13th.
I myself find it helpful to see which players the other owners ate targeting. For example if a certain player's salary is pushed beyond a reasonable limit I might choose NOT to waste one of my Arb dollars on that player.
Instead I can put it to better use someplace else.
-
not much if any... unless i'm missing something too? but i imagine it just gives owners more notice on who they might plan to cut/trade before the cut deadline if you submit your arb $ early

Is there an advantage in waiting to do your arbitration?
-
I nominate Milwaukee's Best as new Commissioner. Do I have a Second?
-
Milwaukee is the best. Killer run, my man. My team is built for next year so get ready to finally relinquish that thrown. Will someone please take over the commish role? I am already commish of a league or I would.
-
leaguemates: im looking for someone to take over the commissioner role. im parting ways with this team. its been an enjoyable time playing along with everyone here over the past few years. glgl. message me or leave a comment here please.
-
Thanks, guys. Knights - you certainly didn't make it easy this year... congrats on a strong season. I expect some really tough competition all the way around next year.
-
Congrats Milwaukee....116 is a pretty tough number to put on the board, well done
-
Congratulations to all winners
-
Well done here, Milwaukee's Best! You've really dominated the league. Your score is nearly the 5x5 ottoneu overall champion. Good job! Good Job to the NY Knights and Turn up the radio for their places on the prize podium, too!
-
Does anybody want Ramon Laureano? 10 cents on the dollar.
-
I have too many good young players and need to do some 2 for 1, 3 for 1 trades, even 4 for 1 trades for UPGRADES. The one thing i ask is that you don't make offers with expensive players. I'm looking to trade 3 top 40 prospects for 1 top 5 prospect or something along those lines. Let's talk. Direct message me if you want to start talks.
-
wow Milwaukee. That was fast!!
-
Not sure any individual trade is so one-sided, but the sum of constant trading and churning isn't great for this league or the team doing the trading. I don't think its tipping the balance at this point. And same, I enjoy playing and would like this to stop
-
So after nimmo traded $11 anderson and an $11 Donaldson for Adley R and Hall, he cuts hall and trades Adley R for eovaldi. Net trades: Anderson and Donaldson for Eovaldi. Excellent stuff. Great to have you making a mockery of the league, nimmo. Does anyone else think this is nuts? Is it just me. Should i not be speaking up about this? Sincerely if y'all would like me to not make noise, I'll stop. Really. But the truth is, I love fantasy BB and I joined an expert league to avoid this nonsense.
-
All I can say is that I’m playing for next year and the year after. Feeling pretty good about my team moving forward but I’m still looking to swing a deal or two if it will help me in ‘22.
-
Nice…I got a special shout out
-
... I'll let it go. This is the last I'll say. I'm surprised that it doesn't bother more teams. I really am. We have such a great league with educated players and 1 loose cannon who makes 3 times the moves and theres nothing we can do about it.
-
I just want to point out that Nimmo is the same owner that traded his entire team 3 years ago out of spite. It was the team that he was fighting with that left. It's not a new owner. All I'm saying is that within 24 hours of pointing out that he has a profound effect on this league with not spending at the draft nominating 10 players a week, he make 4 trades
- 2 of them terrible, and 2 just silly. I traded for next year so It doesn't effect me. If no one talks about it, it will never chan
-
there were previous issues with a different owner of nimmos same franchise. its seems just a weird happenstance how things have played out from that point forward. nimmo seems to be an active owner. other owners are engaging and making deals. most all deals seem on the balance fine. ive vetoed this tapia deal because its just dumb, but im one owner. no one is out to get you though destinys beavers and theres no sabotage.
-
i just dont agree that nimmo is holding the special sauce. i will agree it is unfortunate nimmo doesnt understand the nuance of ottoneu. ill take this moment for a special shout out to prestige worldwide for having half the points of nimmo, though.
-
Is it not a form of collusion to make one sided trades for the sole purpose of spite towards a certain team with no strategic purpose of improving your own team? Nimmo unloaded his entire team a couple years ago and admitted it was out of spite. Here we go again. Are we going to allow him to keep doing this? I building for next year so it’s not really that huge to me, but Nimmo always has the power to decide championships with his own sabotage.
-
Musgrove for senzel!? Come on nimmo! What the hell. Commish, how is this ok?! Something has to be done. 3 years of this. It’s madness. It’s just terrible for the league. It’s absolute collusion when the day after I post how damaging Nimmo is he gives an elite pitcher to one of the top teams. This is exactly what happened a few years ago. Someone called him out and he traded his entire team to that teams competition. Then that owner left the league. It’s sabotage .Absolute. 3 trades after post
-
Looking to upgrade my SP rotation send over some offers
-
Who is Hall?
-
cont.) please nimmo. either get some other teams in different formats to help fill some of your time, because your infatuation with making moves with no purpose is bad for this league. Adding dropping adding dropping adding dropping... It screws up the pricing - not top mention the money not spent on stars at the draft. And then there is the trades all based on convoluted observations. I'm Not saying that I think you should leave the league, but it's time to learn how to play. u R not new anymo'
-
What is happening Nimmo? Hall was a key piece in the deal where gave up $11 Anderson who could've been your ace for years to come and now you just cut him?! You cut Kowar last week. You left the draft with 40 players and almost $100 unspent. You are paying 36 free agents, because you perpetually nominate several players every week. You've been in the league for 3 years now. Learn how to play man. It hurts the league. You would have driven me out of here if I didn't have so much invested. .(cont
-
Sorry Milwaukee. I didn't do that trade to spite you. I just think I'm better off making a run next year. You got too strong. I didn't want to end up eating salaries for a possible 3rd place finish.
-
Milwaukee just went over $600 in payroll. Dam. I just canceled a big offer because If i liquidated my future I still don't think I can hang with this. Way to go for it, Milwaukee. Good luck. This should be a dogfight between you and the Knights. I'll keep fighting, but it will be with the team I have now.
-
Nice trade Milwaukee
-
Trout and Scherzer on both high risk for this year.
I wouldn't pay the high price for either of them right now.
-
I've seen Kelenic play a few games when he first came up.
He has no arm at all. Maybe he can play second base or be a DH. But he's not going to be in outfielder in a major leagues.
Maybe he's still young and will develop a better arm as he matures but right now he's a designated hitter
