If all those last minute moves didn't happen to give teams more draft money, I was gonna make last second cuts for all my players costing over $30. Was gonna go into draft with lots of money hoping to get them cheaper. There were only two teams that coulda bid with me. I saw the draft money grow for more teams and decided to keep the big guns. There are some decent players left, but not many top tiers. Price war bidding for those few left. I'll sit back and watch the entertainment.

And I agree with Torpedoes. The trade veto system is pointless. Has anyone ever seen a trade vetoed in Ottoneu. I would be shocked if there has ever been one. Just random conversation here. As far as keeper deadline, all owners make sure you follow the rules in fairness to competition, and cut your players before the deadline. Looks like money is tight for all of us. We are all trying to find the extra dollar or two. Draft day is gonna be slim pickins.

I would like to see Ottoneu come up with a better penalty for missing the keeper deadline. There really isn't one right now. During the sesason, at least if freezes roster(no adds, trades, lineup changes). They should deduct money from overall salary cap(like a loan against) that reduces available cap space. Something that would punish available cap space if miss keeper deadline. Or only can cut one player at a time until team is under cap and cuts stop once under cap.

Also keep in mind that you need at least one free dollar of cap space for each roster spot you have open under 40
-
Essentially, this is our last chance to cut players without any penalty.
-
My understanding is trades can be consummated up until the deadline, with the farce that is the veto system extending past the deadline until the trade is inevitably "approved" 48 hours later... As for keeper "penalties," as far as I know it's just like regular season. Whatever room you create under the $400 cap is what you will be able to use bidding at the draft, and if you protect more than $400 worth of players, your roster would be frozen until you cut enough fat to get
-
Do trades need to be finalized(after 48 hour/vote wait) by Jan. 31st deadline or just accepted(waiting 48 hours/vote) by Jan. 31st deadline. I personally believe all should have to be finalized at the Jan. 31st deadline myself. Also what is the penalty for not cutting players by deadline(over the cap and number of players). Anyone know?

If you need a 2B I'd consider parting with drury in the right deal.

Man, you gotta move quick in this league to trade. I woulda wanted some action on Walker deal. Just to let everyone know, I will normally not be able to respond to post or look at trades until later in the evening. I'm rarely in a position to look at this during the day.

I'm pretty flexible for draft. Prefer a weeknight after 6:00pmCT. I cannot do Sat. March 25th. I am Commish of a local league and our draft day is that day. It's an in person draft party and it last about all day. I don't think any special rules should apply to injury before draft players. I really don't think it's any different than if you lose a player in season or before. Same circumstances and should/does hurt either way. I'm sure I just jinxed myself now though.

There is no protection for injured keepers. Happened to me with Wainwright. You're just... f'd.
-
Not sure about anyone else, but this is the most expensive league I'm in, while it certainly doesn't have to be the day before the season starts, I would however, at least like it to be the last week of spring training, or as close to that as possible. But, if it's really an issue, my schedule is flexible. I just don't want the league I'm spending $100 in to be ruined by a key player being injured after the draft.
-
Can anyone tell me, what are the options for handling a player who is protected, but suffers some sort of major injury between the keeper deadline and the draft?
-
There is ONE thing worse than drafting a guy and then watching him tear his UCL in a spring training start--protecting a guy and watching same! (Here's to you, Kris Medlen!!!) If EVERY league wants their draft on Saturday, Apr. 1, I can promise you we will be going before that date (as a general courtesy so as not to conflict with Winnersville's other 17 leagues). I just find the 1/31 keeper deadline to be extremely annoying for a late March draft...
-
I have 4 Ottoneu teams {all paid for} everybody wants the auction for the day BEFORE 1st regular season game, lets try to accommodate everyone!

The later the better. I can do Saturday or Sunday anytime after 3:30pm eastern. Or Monday-Friday anytime after 6pm eastern.
-
I would actually prefer a late March draft. Nothing worse than drafting a guy in Feb and watching him tear his UCL in his 1st spring training start.
-
Speaking of auction, can anyone throw out any guidance for what you prefer? Late March? Early Feb? I can tell you that weekends tend to get a little hairy for me, so I would probably lean toward a weeknight if possible. Why do we have to set our roster so early if we have a late March draft? I hate all that dead time. Would lean toward having draft sooner than later so we can have some fun with player moves as we monitor spring training. Lemme' know any thoughts and we'll get a date on the board
-
Trade offers must be to me by 27th, after that we will be getting ready for the AUCTION! --just saying!

Therefore, my thought is that each team can renew when they need to renew (per Ottoneu guidelines) and we will draft when we need to draft. Obviously, if you plan to play this year, it makes sense to go ahead and renew, even if your "deadline is still a few weeks off, just to avoid any potential problems. I hope everyone is here because they want to be here. If not, please do the honorable thing, as two others just did, and vacate your spot now for someone else.
Let the COMPETITION begin!
-
My understanding is that Ottoneu will have ALL renew dates the same next year. You can contact them to find out if you see fit.

Also, while we're on the topic of the draft, can anyone explain to me the hubub about renewal dates and the draft date? As I stated in my leaguewide communique a couple days ago, my preference is to leave Ottoneu rules & regs up to Ottoneu. If you ask me, an owner who drafts and then bails actually does less damage to the pennant race than an owner who tanks and causes havoc with the pennant race via arbitrary dump trades at the deadline.
-
Welcome to our new owners! It looks like we have a good group ready to go. Don't forget that you must have all the excess fat trimmed from your roster by one week from today that you don't wish to have clogging up the roster you carry into the Auction Draft Room. Speaking of which, let's try to start getting a draft date at least penciled in. If anyone has conflicts or preferences, please sing out and I will try to start narrowing down our choices.
-
Welcome to the new guys! Great that the squads got filled so quick. If anyone is interested, I'm still shopping Donaldson around. Looking for decent value that saves me a few $$$, send me a message or offer up.

Greetings all - just claimed Speedwagon II. I'll be shedding some overpriced assets, but also willing to entertain any and all trade offers over the next week.

Thanks for taking on Commish duties Torpedoes. You get my vote to run this show. If you run the league as good as your first post(which I don't see any longer for some reason), then you da man. Couldn't have said it better myself. Agree completely. In $99 league, I don't know why anyone would ever stop competing all year. I know I will never quit trying. Proof in that last year when my team hung out at the bottom. I will make moves until the last day winning or not.
