I enjoy acquiring the knowledge needed for ottoneu, but it's not everyone's cup of tea. As for the site, completely agree. Hopeful for this, but not exactly holding my breath.

Thanks, but I'm kind of done with the Ottoneu grind. Being a commish is really rough in these leagues, and to throw on top of needing complete baseball knowledge to compete in these leagues...it's a lot for only a $10 league w/ no payout. Also, Ottoneu hasn't seen enough fundamental improvements over the past 5 years (still a basic message board, no app, really poor mobile experience, etc) for me to get excited about it.

I would like to request Beane stay on as Commish. Or at worst stay on as an owner. I can help you out overseeing the league if time is the issue. You've built a strong league and done well. Hopefully you will reconsider. I'll bet I speak for most owners with the request. And we can't boot Phww or Snell. They are too easy to beat. Keep them here. LOL!
-
Welcome to the league. You found a good one. Good group here. Don't compete too hard though, I'm trying to pass you.
-
Welcome to the League
-
Hello to all. I just took this team over last night and look forward to competing the rest of the year.
-
No one's being booted, except maybe Snell
-
Why am I being booted? For adopting a bad team?
-
Can we boot phw? I think a majority of owners are for it.
-
Only ten more of you to go before I guarantee myself a title!
-
He said he was involved in a car accident, asked me to remove him from co-commish, then a week later said he had bad complications and asked to be removed from the league.
-
Any idea why Came to Play was abandoned?
-
Billy Beane is Not My Lover's trade block has been updated!
-
PSA: Came to Play will take over as co-commish effective immediately. After the season, a more-broad vote can be made (or not) as to next season's commissioner.
-
That moment when you realize you didn't bid on the player you nominated... 😔
-
Hot Mess's trade block has been updated!
-
Let's keep it in the family. I'll be this leagues leader.
-
Open call: I'm moving on to a $50 league. Anyone interested in taking over commissioner after the season?
-
Artist Formally Known as BJ Upton 's trade block has been updated!
-
It Hurts When I Peavy's trade block has been updated!
-
I fail to see how the previous two sentences are related.
-
Any team looking for SP let me know. I'm looking to trade Zimmerman.
-
LOL. I believe I am the only woman in this league and the least whiny. And no one uses Pamprin anymore.
-
I approved the trade. All I said was I didn't understand it. Then someone started throwing a pouty fit.
-
And I agree with EE. I make trades to bolster my youth/farm system. Idc who it benefits this year. (see I agreed with someone other than my brother OOOOOOOOOOOO) (i hate you all for writing in parenthesis)
-
Did anyone else google what Pamprin's were? Just me?
-
I vetoed it. Cuz I like being a prick.
-
And yea, I got a lot of shit for that Machado trade at the time.
-
Agreed with all of that
-
I simply posted to ask owners to let somebody know your throwing the towel in first. At least get some other offers. Everytime somebody post something, get your feelings off your shoulders. Be objective and consider others views as well. And Rizz let brother walk his on sometime. Every time, you come running. We get it, you do whatever he says to do. My whole point ends with just vote. Have your own opinion.
-
Evil Empire's trade block has been updated!
-
They aren't rules. I use that as a basis to executively veto a trade—which I (among others in this league) think is fair. It's been done before for a trade that passed through (because of the abstain-ers), and the league in its entirety agreed with my decision.
-
Everyone values players differently or there would be no trades. So I think we have to trust that people are trying to improve their teams whether everyone agrees with the specific choices along the way.
-
I am approving the trade. It seems all of the arguments against this trade are about "value" and I don't think that there is any reason to veto it based on that. The guy you are saying lost the trade won the league last year and if you look at transaction history you can see he traded a $54 Hanley for a $4 Machado. At the time people probably thought that was poor value, but I'm sure everyone wishes they had a $20 Machado today.
-
I also said it was confusing. Why give up in May. And in May, prospects shouldn't be as heavy weighted considered criteria to get top impacting players for this season. Key word used was I THINK. I can't post my opinion in this league. No bitching or complaining. You must not understand what bitching actually is. Hell, I even followed up by saying enjoying the league. Big difference from Trade block post stating selling minors to selling studs. Recently traded player is not a comparison
-
Settle down there little brother. No need to defend your brother. No one is calling him out. No one is bitching. Can you read. Go back and read the post. I said my beef is with people voting one way or other. I never complained about the particular trade. My post was to state there are more than two soft rules why a trade should be vetoed. Where is the soft rules located in the Rules by the way. Maybe I missed it. You do understand you can't just create your own right
-
All I said was I didn't understand it, then the commissioner went all, "I lost my Pamprin!"
-
Phw is against #MakingBaseballFunAgain
-
In my experience I don't need to defend myself means I know I can't.
-
I wasn't throwing insults, I starting a fact.
-
Sorry if I came off as a 'pissy dickhead' (?), but was clearly going to be a subject of conversation, and I wanted (am trying) to be as objective as possible. Speaking of, if your prerogative is to sling insults at opposing managers (this goes for Rizz as well), please shift that conversation to the private messages.
-
I prefer when my commissioners don't come off like pissy dickheads, but than that, ask I said was I didn't understand the trade.
-
I think it was a lopsided trade, but I don't think it creates competitive balance issues for the league in the long term. I voted to approve.
-
Jaso's Ladder's trade block has been updated!
-
Look...more people bitching about a trade that hurts them. Color me shocked. If you want to do something, make a move to better your team.
-
The Mudville Nine's trade block has been updated!
-
Ok? There is a team that still has a recently-traded player on his (her?) block, yet you choose to single me out. If you don't like the way I play this game, please feel free to reach out to Niv on Twitter to discuss an alternative commissioner. And since you're clearly interested in evaluating other managers and their practices, yes, all of my prospects are available, regardless of the outcome of this trade.
-
Also if your looking for prospects, giving up this year, looking to deal prospects, put it out on the board or trade block. Kudos to Mudville and Phwww for at least making it known first. Beane still showing selling anyone in his minors.
-
Thank you.
-
For the interest of transparency, I've told Vom I will undo the trade if we are one veto short of an approval. So like Poof said, vote.
