This blog post lays out the basic rules: https://fantasy.fangraphs.com/ottoneu-101-the-5milb-structure/
The only difference I'm aware of is that we do the slow draft AFTER the auction draft, which IMO makes much more sense.
-
That all makes sense on how it works. Also, I'm ok with keeping one draft.
The trade thing is the only part that gets a little murkey. So shouldn't there always be 60 (12 teams x 5 slots) MILB or less? If you trade away a minor leaguer you are able to draft new prospects? I probably wrongly assumed that you traded your slot with the player when you trade a minor leaguer.
-
I moved the date of the draft to March 31st, but this is just a placeholder date. I will set up a doodle when we get a little more information on when the lockout will be ending.

I like the way the minor league system works. We have a minor league draft after the regular draft. That is the only time you can add players to your minor league squad. You get free cuts from your minor league team during the offseason. You can add minor league players to your roster at any time for $1.

If lockout ends this week it will still take 5 days to get everyone in camp. Plus free agents would have to sign and report to new teams. I doubt games will start by March 5th.
I doubt regular season will start on time.
Probably early April.
Maybe we can plan on an April 1st draft day. A fitting day for this season.

Anybody with five or more minor league players cannot draft

I think Snake & Jake is right, if you want to add new prospects during the season, that's what the regular roster is intended for and not what the Milb roster is intended for.
-
Question 2 - Like Snake and Jake said, the Milb system is intended for you to be able to hold a group of prospects that are not effected by the annual salary increases or arbitration. You can call some one up from your Milb roster at anytime and add them to your regular roster at $1. Adding people to your Milb roster mid-season or all-star break really complicates things because how do you make that fair, does everyone get another chance to cut? How would you determine draft order mid-season?
-
My best attempt at an answer
Question 1 - There's a slow snake draft after the regular draft where teams are able to fill the empty slots (up to 5) on their Milb roster. Teams with more than 5 do not participate in the draft, but are able to keep all their prospects (they don't have to cut down to 5)
-
I vote schedule now for the draft.
My take on MiLB - If others want a change I don't feel super strongly about an all star break add period. But I think the spirit of the MiLB roster is to let teams hold young prospects that are maybe several years out without annual salary increases and clogging up roster spots. I think if you really want a minor leaguer mid-season, just add them to your 40 man.
To answer your other question, the MiLB slow draft gets everyone back to
-
2nd Question, shouldn't we be allowed to add and drop to our minor leagues throughout the year? I know right now we basically draft and hold them till the next year. If people are not a fan of constant adding, could we at least have an all-star break opportunity to add/drop in our minors?
-
Don't care about the date yet, really would like to see lockout ended first. I would like to discuss our minor league system. We currently allow 5 per team, but with trades some teams are way over and some are way under. So the players who traded away prospects have technically traded away their minor league slot? Are they able to restock those spots? I'm just curious about clarification.
-
Supposedly there's a meeting today maybe they'll end this nonsense

Finding a date for everyone can be tough. I vote that we schedule now and adjust later if needed.
-
Schedule. Got several different leagues and it would be easier to figure it out now. Not against finding a date and if crazy things happen with the season opening we could discuss adjusting

I have drafts on the 13th , 16th, 17th and 20th so far

Good Job everyone getting the cuts done on time. The next decision we have to make is if we want to go ahead and schedule the auction for sometime in March or wait until there is a labor settlement and then schedule the auction. We will determine this by majority vote. Please vote on this message board if you want to "wait" or "schedule".

Also for the minor league draft, you can only draft if you have less than 5 players. You can acquire more than 5 only via trade.

For clarification on MiLB. Players must be added to your active roster immediately once called up unless the call up is after Sept 1. Then the player can be left on your minor league roster until after the season ends and arbitration is done and then added for $1. Please assist me in letting me know when call ups happen.

Shane Baz gets added for $1 since his first game last year was after Sept 1st. Done.

Oh good deal, I think you're right Wandering, I do remember so.ething like that. My bad.

Suicide- maitan was the #1 international signing in like 2016-17 and lit up short season. It was then found Atl tampered or did something illegally and he was deemed FA by MLB and I think some dudes in Atl lost their jobs over it. Anaheim signed him and I think he last played pre Covid and hit like .220 in A ball. Still only 21-22 years old but clearly not living up to hype. *Disclaimer* a voice mentioned numeric values may be skewed/exaggerated lol
-
I’m not sure the Baz thing is entirely accurate. I believe our MILB guys can remain on the MILB roster if we so choose if they were September call ups. I’m not sure this is the case just remember hearing that (May have been another league). 🤷🏻♂️But yeah I would have thrown some $ on him too
-
Also just noticed Shane Baz should be added to Juan G's team $3 (because he should have been rostered prior to the increase). Would of loved to throw a few more $ on him haha

I'm down to draft whenever, I work til 5 Monday through Friday on the east coast and other than that can be free for a draft. I have a couple other ottoneu drafts scheduled, but if there's a conflict I'll let you know when we toss out dates.
-
Suicide, I'm 99% sure we roster an Milb prospect once they have been called up. No rookie status implications.
-
I didn't know anything about him. Now I'm glad I released him.

Releasing Kevin Maitan willingly? Or after investigation was it deemed he signed illegally? LoL what a bust After signing for $4M+ as a 16 Yr old and another $2M+ As 17 Yr old.

I don't mean to be difficult but I am into leagues that have m i l b rosters. In one week players must be taking off the roster once they have one Major League at bat or throw a pitch
In another League where I am not the commissioner players are allowed to stay on their minor league rosters as long as they maintain rookie status.
I'm assuming this league is following the first example but since this is my first year I have to ask.

The list is linked at the bottom of the League Settings page:

-
You can only acquire more than 5 MILB players by trade, so if you keep five or more you won’t draft.
-
Clarification on MILB roster slots please… through my last 2 years of compete rebuild I have acquired a couple MILb prospects. I believe I currently have 6-8 on my roster. If I were to cut any of those do I still get to make selection even if I am over 5? Ex… I have 7. I cut one failed MILb guy. Am I set with those 6 remaining? Or do I get to select a 7th to replace one I dropped? Please clarify

I would like to know exactly who is on my milb roster

Welcome Suicide Squad! We now have all our owners and everyone is paid up. Please note the Feb 15th cut date. This cut date also applies to the minor league roster. Please post in this chat anyone you want cut from that roster prior to Feb 15th. As usual the minor league draft will be a slow draft on this message board after the auction. Lastly, please let me now if you would like to go ahead and schedule the auction or if we would like to wait until the labor dispute clarifies.

Nice! This was my first Ottoneu League and its been a great league. For some reason several people decided not to come back this year, but gaining you and Papi will definitely add to the activity. I'm in a position where I'm planning on keeping basically all of my team. Only need a few spots. I'll always check out an offer though! Glad you chose to join
