We already have a GM who lives in Israel, so we are really spanning the globe now! It'll be interesting to find a draft time that works for everyone. ;)
-
W00t! we are now international! IIRC UK is 5 hours ahead of US least coast, and 8 ahead of the best coast! I'll keep that in mind when the hours go by without a response to my latest exceedingly fair trade request :D

Hi
Many thanks for the invite to join and welcome
I recognise some of you from different leagues, so I know what I’m letting myself in for 😃
I promise to keep involved from a wet, dark U.K.
-
Welcome Mark.

Hello Dozen Eggheaders -- I'm happy to report we have a new owner for Hit 'Em Up. Mark takes the reigns of the team and comes highly recommended from another Ottoneu league. Welcome, Mark!
-
Hey all -- It looks like we have another opening in the Dozen Eggheads. Hit 'Em Up just notified me that he's going to bow out. So a big thanks for being part of the league! We hate to lose GM's but a sign of a good league is also when managers know they can't devote the time and don't want their team to linger. So thanks also for giving us time to find someone new so far before the season. Speaking of, let me know if you have a good candidate, otherwise, I'll post it as available soon.
-
Hello from Brad and Oz -- what an honor it is to join you big boys in this crazy Ottoneu world. A definite promotion from all the other fantasy ventures I've been a part of. Hope I'm up to the challenge! I'm ready to apply all the tricks of the trade watching the Guardians work their magic lately. We just might need to rename the team to something with Spanish in it. Is that possible? Call it fantasy tradition.
-
Welcome to the league, guys! I like the idea of co-managers. I needed someone to talk me out of making that Judge for Giolito trade I made last year.

We have a new owner(s) for the Liquid Swords. The franchise is going to be co-managed by a couple of guys I'm in another fantasy league with who I know are good, active GM's. So please welcome Brad and Oz to the league!
-
All the best Liquid...

Ya, I'm out. I've been a bad owner and don't want to ghost run a team again this year. I'm still sticking with my H2H league. If anyone is interested we have an opening. League 845
-
Hey all -- Liquid Swords let the Commissioner's Office know that they aren't coming back next year, so we have an opening. I know a person or two in another competitive league I may ask, but if anyone has other interested folks, send me their contact info. It'd be great to get someone we know will be involved rather than posting the team as abandoned. And big thanks to the Swords for being part of the Dozen Eggheads these years! Best of luck with all future roto (and life) endeavors.
-
Definitely a huge thank you to everyone in this league. We have a great group that keeps participating and zero drama. That's really hard to find.
-
This is a great league and I very much appreciate everyone's participation -- it makes being the commish pretty easy! I'm amazed at how close it ends up being most years. Just statistically, the fact that we score 18,000+ points but the winner is decided by 20 or 30 points these past couple of years just boggles my mind! But it speaks to how engaged everyone is, too, so thank you! And I'm assuming everyone is coming back, but let me know if not. Happy MLB playoffs!
-
Congrats Coastal and all that competed for the top spot. I want to crack that code for next year! Great league!

Congrats to the Coastals and thanks to the Begonias for hosting the league. And thanks of course for having me.
7th was my high water mark, but 8th is still 'middle of the pack.' Prospects locked n loaded n I'll be back for sure.

Another epic season! The top four teams all had great seasons - it was fun to watch. Congrats, Coastal!
-
Thanks everybody. Could have been anybody’s win. Things just fell right on the last day for me. I’m looking forward to winning by a much more comfortable margin next year.
-
What a fun season...I guess it was Coastal's turn to surge ahead on the final day. Congrats to Coastal for the championship banner, and to SB and AKOT for a memorable season-long race, and to the whole league for another great season. Thanks, Michael!!

Empire, Begonias, Finos, this was a race I was proud to be part of. Congratulations to the Empire. Congratulations to the Begonias despite the disappointing last day. Congratulations to the Finos for staying with us.
-
Epic choke by the Scarlet B's on the last day of the season. My pitchers gave up six homers in 14 innings! Ooof. So let me be the first to congratulate Coastal Empire. They had a really strong day and ran through the finish line - well done!
-
Down to the wire again for the Dozen Eggheads, for a change! This league has a penchant for keeping it interesting down to the last day.

for the record, I did not mean to bid $33 for Dean Kramer!! While he is a fellow Israeli, I was willing to only go to $3! Darn fat fingers...

86 point performance from Spencer Strider. Wow.
-
All Giants fans, like myself, absolutely hate the Dodgers. But almost all of us love Vin Scully, the undisputed GOAT. Angell is pretty GOAT-y himself, and lived to age 101!!

We’ve lost Vin Scully and Roger Angell this year, and I will miss them both.
-
RIP Vin Scully. I'm not a Dodgers fan, but I would watch some of their games in the later years just to hear him. Pure magic what he was able to pull off in the booth by himself -- he was the best. A good article from FG: https://blogs.fangraphs.com/ice-skating-with-jackie-robinson-an-appreciation-of-vin-scully-1927-2022/

Hear, hear, lots of baseball to be played, anything can happen.
-
It's a long season.. still gunning for all of you (only 1000 points to go!)
-
I'm torn, because I want both you guys to finish in 3rd place.

Does one of us get half a medal if we're in third at the ASB?
-
There's a hell of a battle for 3rd place right now.
-
Alot of separation already between top teams and "the rest of us".
-
I bet you weren't alone in that call of Hendricks on the bench in SD!
-
Kyle Hendricks with 67 points, on my bench
-
I'd say Kershaw still has something left in the tank.

Happy opening day, everyone! Here's to a great 2022 in Dozen Eggheads.
-
If anyone is looking for another league, a new one is getting set-up that I just joined. It's a slow-draft (on Couchmanagers) and weekly lineups, so a bit less of a time investment. It sounds like the commish is still deciding on the format, but it's set at 5x5 right now. Here's the link: https://ottoneu.fangraphs.com/processinvite?code=eyJMZWFndWVJRCI6IjE0MTkiLCJJbnZpdGVyIjoibWtpcnNoZW5iYXVtIiwiSW52aXRlcklEIjoiNzc1OSJ9
-
Hi all -- the players and owners clearly knew they had to get the CBA done before our draft, so now we can do it knowing there will indeed be a season. :) A reminder that we're drafting tomorrow (Saturday) at 6pm PST / 9pm EST. See you in the draft room!
-
If anyone is interested I had a last-second vacancy in league 845. It's a H2H FGPTs league. https://ottoneu.fangraphs.com/845/team?team=6075

Commish, you forgot to add, draft is 4:00am Israel time...

We've got a draft time: Saturday, March 12th at 9pm EST, 6pm PST. Thanks for the responses to the poll!
-
Done
-
Let's try to get the draft scheduled. In the past we've done last week of Feb / first week of March. Let's try to push that back a week or so this year due to the CBA stuff and so many free agents still unsigned. So please fill out this poll with ALL the times you can possibly make it. And please use your team name as the ID -- that makes it easier to do follow-up. Thank you! https://doodle.com/poll/vxzihhmhws27ehmh?utm_source=poll&utm_medium=link
-
Hey all -- It's time to renew for our Ottoneu league. If you haven't done so already, please head to your user account and pay for the upcoming year. Thanks!
-
Hey all -- the keeper / trade deadline has been pushed until February 15th due to the uncertainty of the CBA stuff. That was a change made across Ottoneu leagues. So two extra weeks to contemplate keeps, cuts and trades!
-
Happy new year, everyone! A couple of quick things -- I'll be sending out a scheduling poll this week for the draft, but I'm going to mostly have dates a bit closer to the start of the season given the CBA stuff going on and how, probably at best, we might not know the destination of a lot of (real-life) free agents until well into spring training, whenever that occurs. Also, a reminder that the end of the month is the keeper deadline / pre-draft trade deadline.
