It was literally 5 seconds ago, any way I can cancel it?
-
Commish. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to accept that trade for my Soler. I hate trammel.
-
Hi!! I know I missed ARB but I’m back online & ready to go for 2021. Thanks to everyone, especially Spuds, for understanding and keeping me around! ⚾️
-
Absolutely man! Take care of yourself, and my best wishes to you and your family
-
No hurry. No worry. Hope everything works out ok
-
I just want to say something in my leagues. I'm committed to this league, I will be active. But I have been dealing with a ton of stuff lately and haven't really had the time or interest in sending out offers. I did update my trade block though.
If you send me a proposal I'll respond though. I don't mind blind offers either. Thanks for understanding. I should be good by next week
-
Hi all. I had family issues. Now I'm ready to trade. Block updated. There is nobody untouchable
-
I bought an ad-free membership to FanGraphs for someone that is already a member. If you're interested in a membership, let me know and I will forward you the coupon for it!

I sent Kristen (Did someone say hot dogs?) and Tyler (Genitals) a message about ARB. If I don't get a message back from them or see that they did ARB before Saturday morning, I will set up proxies to ARB for them. With everything going on in 2020, I'm not looking to remove them as owners of their teams unless they do not want to be in the league anymore. Just a few more days until we can TRADE!
-
Hey everyone just a reminder not to forget about arbitration! I have not been successful at finding an owner for team Abandoned, so I've added Kingg21 to that team to be a proxy for arbitration.
-
Still looking for a replacement owner for team Abandoned, if any of you knows anyone that'd be interested in joining the league, just let me know.
-
Welcome Jason!
-
The Weight of Glory has a new owner, let's welcome Jason (or known better as KP on slack) to the league!
-
All three of you will be missed! Thanks for making this a fun season!

Hey guys
I've been wrestling with this choice, and I think it leads to only one place before I get sucked back in: I'm going to drop out from all my ottoneu leagues.
It has been a blast, guys. Thanks for having me briefly here in 752. I really enjoyed it.
I need to focus on my young family a little more. The time commit, especially with four leagues, got to be a little tough to manage this year.
Thanks!
-
Sucks to see Kevin and Sean go, but managing multiple Ottoneu teams is not easy lol I'm going to look into getting a replacement owner for The Weight of Glory before 10/15.
-
All - sorry to say this, but we are going to have to bow out of this league. You guys are awesome and this is a fantastic league, but we realized pretty quickly that three teams is one too many for us as far as the time/focus we have to put into Otto. Hate to do that after just one season, but feel like we need to. It's certainly not perfect, but we really like where we left the roster, so hopefully you won't have too much trouble filling the spot with a good owner. Wish you all the best!
-
I think allocation during arbitration is fun and a great way to fill the off-season void, so I would like to continue with that as well (and best believe I’m coming for that $36 Juan Soto haha)!
-
I agree with carrying on with regular inflation and arbitration. As stated by smarter people already, it is important to keeping the balance of the league in check.

Exactly! Arbitration forces roster turnover, which makes the off-season more fun, and it also helps with the competitive balance within the league. Don't get me wrong I'd love to have Juan Soto for $36 heading into 2021, but we did play a season this year, and they have already been some adjustments on Ottoneu's end to help out with the shortened season. Like players will have the same position eligibility that they earned from the 2019 season.
-
My personal view is that arb/allocation exists to force turnover of rosters, which has the happy effect of preventing dynasties. I don’t want to hit pause on that process. Let’s all try to take down the champ (and that jerk in second place). ;) Would love to hear others’ thoughts.

Not a dumb question at all! This is the first time it has come up, so nothing had been decided. Discussion and new ideas are always great (and a fun way to fill the void of the offseason).

This will very likely be a dumb question, but are there any limitations to this offseason? In my other league, it was decided that there would be no allocation during arbitration because of the shortened season. I just wanted to make sure that there are no similar limitations in this league. Thanks and looking forward to a fun offseason!
-
Thanks Rusty, your team should be a force next year with Tatis Jr and your young talented roster! Also, arbitration starts on 10/15. If you plan on leaving the league this off-season, please let me know beforehand so I can find a replacement owner.
-
But happy for Jacob, winning TWO (highly-rated difficulty) Leagues in one year! Been a long time coming! Congrats

Yeah, I had my best team ever in this league too, but left 40 hitter-GPs on the bench...ugh. Winning takes focus!

Wow, great finish indeed. We three were all within 100 points for first. That's a handful of benched hr, and a skipped blow-up start away from a different outcome. Gotta love it.

Thanks, great finish! Congrats to Gregg and Mike!

Congrats to the money winners! Fun, albeit weird, first season for me... happy to be apart of the league!

Congratulations Jacob! Hard fought and well earned.

Is it any surprise the Demon Altar Boys would stall out at 6666.3? Expressed as the written word instead of numerals that is six-six-six-six-point-three?!? It has become clear to me that this team is possessed.
Good luck all! Great season Cornucopia!

What a battle for second place!!! And maybe first. Good luck everyone.

Oh crap! I just accidentally cut Arrieta, who I had just acquired! I meant to cut Ian Kennedy. It was a stupid mistake. I'm going to ask Jacob to put Arrieta back on my roster, but if anyone objects to that, please message him privately to let him know. I don't think it's fair to do this if anyone objects. No hard feelings if anyone objects, and I will ask Jacob to keep it anonymous.

I think Giolitto helped fix whatever damage chatwood did!
-
I got a little too cute with Chatwood lol
-
Wow, that escalated quickly! :D (Seems like I was in the cellar just a week or 2 ago)
-
Or, I should say all ranked Ottoneu leagues, because some didn't make the cut due to not being full and or active.
-
Jacob is in 14 ottoneu baseball leagues out of 235 leagues ranked in this particular survey, which means he is in 5.95 per cent of all ottoneu leagues!
-
I think it was Mike's way of giving me a hard time about how many leagues I'm in, I'm in a lot 😂
-
Wow, this IS pretty cool... I'm also in the 19th ranked league (also with Jacob and "Ice cream" Cup); in fact those were the first 2 Otto leagues we joined. (Jacob I don't know how your 5 leagues translates into 5.95%.. can either of you guys translate that??)
-
Yes, but you're also in
5.95 per cent of ottoneu leagues ranked.
-
wow im in 5 of those leagues lol
-
I feel like my mom calling to tell me "Michael, you were in the newspaper!"
-
Hey cool, this league made Justin Vibber's latest power rankings. As of August 2 standings, 752 is ranked the 16th toughest league out of 131 fgpts leagues!

Soto going down with Covid on opening day kinda symbolizes how rough this whole situation is. It’s fun to have baseball back as a diversion, but the craptastic reality just keeps butting in. Hope you all, and your families, are staying safe and we all manage to have some fun here this season.

Hey guys, looking forward to a great year. I'm always open to trades and a healthy dose of smack talk, so let's gooo!

Mithril Hall is taking a break from beating us in this league and all of Ottoneu! I have added Mike as the replacement owner let's welcome him to the league!
