Next step is to lock down a draft date- tentatively speaking (by just looking at my calendar and what people have posted so far) how does Sunday 2/23 in the evening work? If we start around 8pm EST? Sunday 3/8 is also a possibility in the evening?
-
So far I’m not available FEB: this upcoming weekend of 14th, MARCH: weekend of 13th. Open to anything else. Sunday March 8th?
-
I can do most nights weekdays or weekends Eastern time from around 6:30-7 on. The days I know I cannot do are February 10, February 14, February 27-29, March 13-15.
-
Keeper deadline is done, the draft is the next step. We need 100% confirmation on a date and time. The season begins March 26th, list any dates or days that will NOT work for you so we can begin to narrow down some time slots, as well as the time zone you're in so we can try to accommodate east vs west coast time difference.
For myself, I have another draft on Feb 22, am out of town March 5-8 and 13-14. Personally, Sundays work best for me but am open any day of the week. EDT

Reminder to get renewed! We have two teams still not up to date on the renewal. Also a reminder to get rosters in check- teams need to be under $400 roster and 40 roster spaces. If you have open spots, which you should, then there needs to be at least $1 per open spot; i.e., if you have $395 salary and only 4 open spots, you'd have an illegal roster.
-
I'm In! Send me all your offers, everyone is for sale. I've got 3 days to make this happen!

He likely won't be picked up before the deadline, and honestly I feel like the team is in fine shape for someone to take him before the draft. He has roster space, is under the cap, and none of his players are grossly over priced. He's already a middle of the pack team and once an owner claims him we can give him no penalty cuts.
-
Anything else’s we could do to make Bryce is Right more enticing? Harpers avg salary is down to 58 and will drop more over the next couple days. What about setting him($46), greinke($24), Abreu ($10) and Suarez ($7) at their min salary? That should put them in a better spot to compete.
-
REMINDER TO RENEW YOUR LEAGUE DUES- Friday is the last day to renew. The site automatically abandons your team and that allows anyone to claim it if you are not up to date at that time. Friday is also the last day to trade or drop players. Anyone dropped after that date will incur a salary cap hit for the entire season, even if you drop before the draft! Trades will begin after the draft as well, we'll start looking at dates next week on what days are available.
-
Still have several teams needing to renew. This needs to be done by Jan 31 to prevent your team from being abandoned and anyone can claim it. Please make sure to get up to date, as well as getting your team's finances/rosters legal.
-
thumbs up
-
For transparency, we've also adjusted the prices on Harper and Greinke to split the difference between their Ottoneu average and current salaries. This is to make the team more appealing for someone to pick up as we're on a short time frame. If there is a significant objection to this, we'll make adjustments as necessary.
-
Bryce is Right has been abandoned by his request. If you know of anyone interested in playing and taking over the team, please shoot them over this way.
-
2ND REMINDER!!!
EVERYONE'S RENEWAL DUES ARE DUE BY JAN 31. If you lapse, the team is automatically marked as ABANDONED and it becomes a whole process to get your team back. Please make sure to renew before then. If you don't know how- go to the Ottoneu dashboard by clicking the Ottoneu link at the top left of this page and click "Dashboard". The renew link is on the right side of your team.
-
REMINDER!! Jan 31st is the last day for keepers. Any trades need to be accepted by midnight that night and any cuts made need to be done as well. Rosters need to be legal, meaning both no more than 40 players rostered and $400 spent. Any cuts made after the keeper deadline will come with the cap hits for the season! We will start the process of figuring out the draft on Feb 1.
-
you can go to "players" tab and then "fangraphs free agents" on the green bar, that will take you to a FG sortable stats page with just free agents, for a different look as well.
-
Ah, I see. I was getting that error - thanks a bunch.

Select the players link on the league page, select the level you want to see (Majors, Milb, All). Check the free agents only option, then uncheck SP,RP and run a blank search. It will return all free agent hitters. Then do the oppsite and only check SP,RP only. For some reason if you keep all positions checked it throws an error. That's how I do it but if there is an easier way someone knows about would be interested as well.
-
Thanks! One more Q - is there a way to view the FA pool in our league (presumably these go into the auction pool)? Is it after rosters lock? Or do you need to just search by player
Rolls-Royce on

Correct. After the auction draft you can nominate and bid on free agents.
-
Hey all...new to Ottoneu. When can cut players (by me or another team) be scooped up? Is that only after the auction?

I've put a message on the Owners Wanted board to get some interest going.
-
Spots fill quick in owners forum. The sooner the better. These two teams are decent enough too it shouldn’t be a problem. Can anyone post the teams or does commissioner have to ?

With cut deadline at the end of the month I think we should push to fill the two open spots now or it may be tough after January. What do you all think about posting something in the owners wanted forum? Also if anyone is in other leagues maybe reach out to leagues mates there to see if anyone is interested.

Welcome

Hello Ottonewbies. My name is Rich. I claimed the Troubadours. This is my third year playing ottoneu but first ottoneu classic league. Looking forward to a good season and of course some trade talks.
-
I apologize for flip flopping on this issue, but upon further discussion with some people in the messages we are going to let the dollars go un-allocated. This will basically turn the most expensive player on each team into a Vote-Off version of the league, as some players with no allocated dollars will suddenly jump $11 total in the off season without a single arbitration dollar being spent. In my other league we have 2 teams that also did not allocate, so this is not unique to our league.
-
Sounds good to me. #3
-
approve, #2

It (that is having Commissioner Fister allocate the extra dollars to the highest-paid player on each team) is fine with me ...so that's 1 of the 3 approvals needed.

Because I see this is an overreach of a commissioner's powers- I'd like to get at least 3 other teams that can respond and say OK to this on the message board for transparency that it was approved. If folks would rather just go the route of these dollars not allocating, say that on here as well. We'll give it a week and if we don't have the approval then it'll default to not assigning the three teams dollars.
-
I am unable to take control of the arbitration dollars for abandoned teams- it requires an owner in order for me to add myself and then make allocations. That leaves two options- option 1 is that nothing happens, it's as if these allocated dollars never existed. Option 2 is that I can go into everyone's team to add the respective dollars to the players salary. It'd basically be a salary override to add $3 to the highest paid player on teams 1-3 and $2 to the remaining teams.
-
All set to go boys
-
Final reminder that arbitration is due tomorrow- only 1 team left to allocate that has an owner. In the event that the 3 teams are not picked up by 9am tomorrow, the highest salaried player on each team will get the allocated dollars. The top 3 teams highest paid player (before arbitration dollars are applied) will get $3. Every other team's highest paid player will get $2. This comes out to $25 and seems the fairest way.
-
Reminder that arbitration closes November 14th. We still have a few teams that have money left (including me)- YOU MUST SPEND ALL YOUR MONEY OR NO MONEY WILL BE ALLOCATED. In the event the abandoned teams aren't picked up by tomorrow night, we'll add $$ to the most expensive players on those teams rosters. If you have any questions feel free to ask. If know anyone that wants to play, get them signed up!
-
I agree, put towards highest paid players
Batsters on

highest paid players on each team imo
-
Arbitration is closing on Nov 14- make sure ALL dollars are allocated. In the event that the abandoned teams do not have owners, do we have any suggestions on what should be done? Just leave the dollars open or assign to highest paid players on each team?
-
Arbitration has begun! For those who are new to the process or need a reminder, you MUST bid at least $1 to every team and use ALL of your money. If you don't, then NONE of the allocations will count. Arbitration lasts for a month, so make sure to get your money in by Nov 14!
We still have 3 open teams, so let your friends know if they want to play we have spots. If we get close to the end of arbitration and they have not been filled, we'll vote how to best allocate those $$$.
-
Three teams open at the moment- let me know if you DO NOT plan to stay for next season. Reminder that arbitration starts next week. If you are unsure if you will be playing next season, please still participate in arbitration like you will so that the league remains balanced and fair!
-
Hey guys I have decided to cut back on my teams including the one in this league. Please abandon my team.
-
Two owners have requested to abandon- if anyone has a friend that wants to play we should have at least a couple of open spots. Please let me know or post on the board if anyone needs to abandon a team.
-
Congrats to our league champions! It appears that all of the teams have visited within the last 3-4 days, so there haven't been any completely non-active owners. Arbitration begins in 2 weeks and we need 100% participation to make sure that the league remains competitive. Please post on this board as soon as possible if you know for certain you will NOT be playing next year so we can find new owners. Again, congrats to the winners and to everyone for making this another great year!
-
I am wrong- TRADE DEADLINE NOT TILL NEXT MONTH- 5+ weeks still to go!

It says August 31st not July, is that correct?
