Hey, we're here! Just didn't want to give away our super secret awesome plans too far in advance!
-
I was about to post that you could only be a dick about this if you publicly singled those owners out, but now I realize how long that would have taken you. 7/12 owners haven't allocated! Not that there is any need to do so before 11/14, but you can imagine why commishes get angsty.
-
Sorry to be a dick, but participation is crucial to the health of the league, particularly in ottoneu. So please let me know that you're there by Monday morning so I don't start handing controls to anyone else. Thanks!

Last weekend of arbitration allocations are upon us. If you plan to wait until the last minute Monday night to make allocations, please shoot me a note ASAP so that I know you're there. If I don't hear from you, I will have pinch hitters ready to make both allocations and 5MiLB moves before their respective deadlines, and will presumably be looking for full-time replacements after that.

IMPORTANT NOTICE: Arbitration end date is on November 14th, not the day after. Don't know where I got 11/15 in my head (sorry for that), but if you're planning on waiting until that date, wait one day fewer. 5MiLB roster freeze deadline will still be midnight Pacific on 11/16, so you have an extra post-arb day there, but if you miss even one of those deadlines, there's a strong chance action will be taken. Take part in offseason activities..

Hey guys thanks for having me, looking forward to getting started with the league. I'm taking over Harper's Neck Piece (to be renamed), a Dallas native but I've been living in DC for a couple years. My profile is @cbills on Slack if you need to get in touch
-
All please feel free to welcome our newest owner, Cody, who will be taking over Harper's Neck Piece. He's an ottoneubie, diving into the deep end with arbitration and 5MiLB in his first month. And he's a Rangers fan, I believe, making him almost certainly a sterling human being who's worthy of your time.

BUT, in case 2, if a player is signed by an MLB team between now and the draft that has never been eligible for auction in an ottoneu regular season, then they would not be available to draft for 5MiLB.

That is correct.If they were on a main or 5MiLB roster previously, but are not as of November 16th, they are eligible to draft (assuming no MLB service).

You're talking about drafting for MILB5 in both these cases right? So this means anyone who hasn't had the MLB Plate appearances (who's available), can be drafted in 5MILB? Even those previously on a team roster, or 5MILB roster and dropped?
-
A couple of rule changes that we will immediately institute assuming no objections: 1) Any player that is not on a main or 5MiLB roster after the 11/16 roster freeze is eligible to be (re)drafted; and 2) Players that were not signed by a MLB team prior to the end of the regular season (and thus never available for auction at any time) will not be elgible.
Any issues, please comment to me via DM here, or on this board, or better yet, on our wonderfully vibrant Slack community.

Two week warning to all that arbitration allocations to your fellow owners are due by 11/15! 11! 15! The day after that, 5MiLB roster freeze moves are due by midnight Pacific time. Via cuts or promotions ($1 to main roster), everyone has to be down to a max of five 5MiLB prospects, and less than five to participate in the draft on 12/1. 12! 1! Any questions in the meantime, please let me know. Thanks.

I'm working under the assumption that everyone is intending to be back next year. However, if you don't think you will, please let me know within the next 7-10 days, so that we have as much of the arbitration period as possible to find a replacement, and as much pre-5MiLB prep time as possible for that person as well. Thanks!

Yes, congrats Love. I think your lead is safe at this point. Also, it looks like everyone's rosters are legal at this point. Thanks everybody.

I show two teams illegal as of now. If not within roster limits within two days of season's close, I will be cutting the most recently acquired player(s) from each team until they are all square.

A note for all the active auctions for today and tomorrow: I will be enforcing legal rosters within 48 hours of season's close. So be ready to make cuts if you are over salary or player limits (allowing for loans and 60-day DL). Not fair to owners I've asked to get legal in-season for others to game the offseason tolerances. Thanks!

And just when you thought things could not get any closer in the standings, the top 2 spots are separated by less than a point with almost identical innings pitched. Good luck to everyone over the final week (except you, Swill Merchants).

Reminder: Draft will be in linear order each round (not snake), in reverse order of standings. Teams will draft until they have filled all 5 prospect slots, or run out of time on skipped picks. (Please don't do that.)

The other 5MiLB date of note is: 5MiLB Roster Freeze - first day after arbitration (last year, was Nov 15) - On this day, September MLB call ups will be added to main Otto rosters, and all other 5MiLB cuts and promotions are due to get to 5 prospect maximum, or fewer to participate in the draft.

Captivating races for 1st and 3rd places aside, if you're in the category of teams (like me!) that is not contending, you probably should start preparing for the 5MiLB draft at the 3TOOL Virtual Winter Meetings on December 1st. www.minorleageball.com is revisiting his preseason top 175, Baseball America has started its top 20 prospects by minor league (for subscribers), and there's now a Prospects distribution list for the Ottoneu Community. I'll try to hook you up with the latter if interested.

If it made you happy between those three seconds and the time I killed your dreams, hold onto those times... Cherish them. I like to think about March, for instance, when I thought I had a good chance to win this league, rather than trying to figure out what the heck happened to Club 10B.

Trade deadline is passed, and there are now three months until the 5MiLB draft on 12.1. Be ready! Also, reminder that call-ups from here to the end of season are optional-- any 5 MiLB call-ups to the main roster can be postponed until after arb to maintain $1 salary for next season.

Jorge Alfaro clock *could* be starting within the next day or two. If he gets a PA in the bigs, 48 hours for Floyd's to decide to add (they have room) or cut. And as a reminder, if this had happened on or after September 1st, call-up would be optional during the season. Post-September 1 main roster call-ups that are not explicitly requested by their 3TOOL franchise will be added to their team's roster at $1 after arbitration.
