REMINDER- tomorrow 11/14 is last day of arbitration!! Make sure to get in your allocations!
-
Less than a week left for arbitration- make sure to get in allocations by the 14th.
-
Big Papi has been abandoned per his request- we now have two teams available to claim.
-
Arbitration is open, marking the official beginning to Ottoneu offseason! Reminder for those new to arbitration- you must allocate at least $1 to every team or else NONE of your money is allocated to any teams. Arbitration is key to keeping the league competitive and balanced- please participate! Arbitration closes Nov 14- I'll send out some periodic reminders to get it done.
-
Got to abandon this league, too much stuff going on in my life to manage so many teams, I could stay until arbitration if it helps, thanks for the fun
-
On a rules note, it sounds like illegal roster rules discussion comes down to waiting a week before reaching out. We'll make that a bylaw if there are no objections.
If there are any other items folks want brought up, please feel free to share here on the board for discussion.
-
Exit City has been abandoned at the request of the owner. If you have anyone interested in joining the league- let them know we have an open spot!
-
Congratulations, Burger, Fister and Aaron!
-
If anyone knows now they will NOT be renewing for next season, please post on the board or message so we can start the process of looking for new owners.
-
Congrats Fur Burger! And to Fister and Nolando as well on the top 3 finish.
-
Thanks Otto and Fister!

Congrats to Fur Burger on winning the league!

I agree with 1 week and then reach out to the team

I think 2 days is harsh. I think a week and commissioners should try to reach out to the team before cutting a player.

My preferred actions if the team is still in an illegal state after 48hrs is to cut the last player(s) added until the team becomes legal. In instances where it's a 60 day IL becoming active, we would still remove the last added player via auction. Via auction so as to not distort any players that came in via trade. Any thoughts? Objections or suggestions?
-
One thing I'd like to bring up from another league for us to decide on this offseason- how to handle a team that goes over roster/cap limits for an extended period of time. Open to discussions and we can work on how we want to word it, but I feel the offending team should have 48hrs to fix the roster. This gives time for any trades or IL designations to go through that a team might be counting on.
-
Sending this message board posting as a flier to Exit City Velo- hasn't logged on since mid-June. Looks like at least one team we will need to be replacing.
-
Phone lines are open lets get some deals done over the all star break.

Trade killed-

I reached out to Big Papi and he has agreed to cancel the trade. Fister or BA can you take care of this? Papi thanks for being so cool about it

This is my own fault and not looking for a pity party but I sent a trade about 30 ago that was meant to include LAwler not jordan Walker. I absolutely had zero interest in trading this man. I didn’t realize this mistake until I got the email when it was accepted. If you all could help me out and veto it, I would appreciate it.

There is not- you can start 2 C and 5 OF but those are the only positions you can play more than 1 player at in a day
-
Is there a way that I can adjust my lineup to play two players at one position other than catcher? (For example, two first basemen)
-
I have a surplus of 3b talent, looking to smooth things out and add another middle infielder or outfielder.

I left too much money on the table for the draft, and this is the consequence. Hyper aggressive on potential in season break outs.

Folks really love them some Bryce Elder
-
One additional question from the new guy as we start the season --> How are points calculated?
-
STOP THE COUNT
-
C is listed twice because most catchers don't play close to 162 games (unless your Yadi or Salvi Perez). You can play 2, 1, or none on any day. Same with all positions (but only one spot).
-
You can play 2 catchers if you'd like, but each position is capped at 162 games (x5 for OF). So when you hit that cap, you don't accumulate stats for that position any more.
-
Question for the veterans in the group --> My starting lineup appears to have two catcher slots. Will this change before opening day, or does our league operate with 23 in the starting lineup rather than 22. Thanks.
-
Pretty frustrating missing the draft. As usual I'm open for business. Message me if you have any interest.

To speed this draft up we're going to turn the mandatory nominations on at 8pm. If you're holding out til late in the draft to come back on- note that you'll need to catch someone in the chat to reinstate you. We currently only have half the league nominating and it's slowing everything down.

30 MINUTE WARNING- DRAFT STARTS AT 7PM
-
Welcome glad to have you!
-
Greetings! I just picked up the Intruder's team and re-named it Scooter's Holy Cows. Looking forward to the draft Sunday evening and a fun year. Any advice or tips would be welcomed. Thanks!
-
So we changed the draft time of this Sunday’s draft from 2:30pm to 6:00pm Central time. A few teams responded on the message board or to my DM. If the time is an issue with anyone please reply by the end of the day.
Two more questions:
Should we require each to team to nominate a player on their turn in the draft? If yes, if you don’t nominate after time expires you are lockout of the draft.
Do we want to up the ante, side buy-in for bigger payout at the end of the year?
-
Fine with me

I don't have any conflicts with that
-
Are we open to moving this Sundays draft to 6:00pm CDT? My kids own the day.
-
I played Prestige the last two years and got knocked out in the first round each year. I’d say it definitely favors FanGraphs scoring, however, if your team gets hot early in the season you could have a chance.
-
Is anyone in our league signing up for the Prestige League? I tried it the first year it was out and feel it's not really tailored for leagues like ours with 4x4. Interested to see if anyone is participating in it and if that affects their drafting/roster building strategy.
-
There are A LOT of teams needing OF and SP, and not a lot of proven options on the market. Going to be an interesting draft night with some guys costing more than expected!
-
Proposing a draft date of Sunday, March 12th at 2:30pm Central. If anyone has an issue with this date please post or dm me.
-
Looking for that last minute trade...

We still need someone to take Intruder’s team. If anyone knows someone who might be interested let them know we can possibly lower prices on some players to avg. league price.
-
REMINDER- Dues and keeper deadline are a week from today. After Jan 31, any cuts will be with penalty and no trades will be allowed until after the draft. Dues need to be paid up or your team will be dropped, and we cannot stop people from picking up abandoned teams.
-
If anyone is interested in joining a SABR pts league. There are two teams open in one of the leagues I am in. Send me a DM and I will tell the commish know.
