Wow seven people bid on Marte!
-
Hey who has Eugenio Suarez, what a day he had? Oh wait, that's me. Wow 56 points for my bench. If I had anybody to replace myself I would fire me!
-
Absolutely! I appreciate how classy and understanding everyone in this league is!
-
Sorry all- big shout out to Jealnet’s… class act member of league
-
Okay, should be all set now!
-
I can go in and undo it :)
Sorry I missed the post yesterday mentioning that it was accidentally accepted
-
I clicked to veto it. Do we have a backup person w commish access?
-
Can we not just reverse the original trade? I'm without Neto and Heliot for 2+ games now for an obvious mistake. Takes 30 seconds in the commish tools
-
*can / *notice
-
I did not mean to push accept- my bad, van that get undone- thanks to team who proposed to nitice
-
Ah the old Reds weak spot

I think the last trade was accidentally accepted based on the message 😂

It's not surprising how many players on this list are on my team... Worst qualified hitters in MLB by wRC+ (4/22/25) https://www.reddit.com/r/baseball/comments/1k5b38o/worst_qualified_hitters_in_mlb_by_wrc_42225/

Time to shine!
-
The second best day of the year! (only behind draft day)
-
Happy Opening Day Everyone!
-
Always a plus to start in the negative
-
If I stay in third the rest of the season I'd probably be happy with that!
-
Day 1 champs!!
The rest of the season is gravy.
-
I never saw the poll, but will be at the draft tonight. Good luck, gents
-
Let's go!!!
-
a little over 36 hours left until the draft! Everyone getting excited?? I sure am!
-
Leave it the way it is, follow regular Ottoneu rules.
-
Injuries suck. I like it the way it is
-
We could allow a one time, one player drop before the draft each year. it would probably have to be requested to the Commish so we know it's only 1 player per team. This would allow for some injuries and also potentially teams who learned something new about a player and changed their mind on keeping them. I'm not sure what is the most amicable solution, but it's an idea
-
Plus, there will still be weeks of spring training after our draft.
-
Im not 100% opposed to the idea. My only hesitation is how contingent it is on the date of the draft. If we had drafted before the injury would there still be the option for a free drop?
-
As the commish worded the poll I dont think anyone would want that change. What I was asking for was a change that would allow us to cut a player pre-draft WHO WAS INJURED IN SPRING TRAINING AND DEEMED OUT FOR THE SEASON. This would keep an owner from suffering a significant salary cap hit before the draft. Seems like an easy thing to solve. I know injuries are a part of the game but the game doesnt really start until the draft so why not rectify an inequity?
-
We're already at a majority vote against, so I'll go ahead and close the poll now. Thanks everyone for responding quickly, I'm looking forward to our draft next week!
-
Regardless of outcome of any vote. I don't think something like this should go into effect for this year. My keepers would have been different had I known I'd had the chance to cut later.
-
There isn't a way to implement what you're suggesting -- this is the only way within the structure of ottoneu to do it
-
I also will vote against this change as you have it worded in the poll.
-
I don't think you understood my suggestion commish. The only players allowed to be cut would be those injured in spring training and deemed out for the upcoming season. It wouldnt be a blanket "free cut day"
-
I have always thought that the fantasy baseball experience was designed to mimic MLB baseball as closely as possible. This slight change would move it even closer to reality. The other change I would like to see is that we all
would be millionaires! I am pretty sure we all would agree on that!
-
Here's the poll link: https://forms.gle/nD5UXmfPEB1qsEb19
-
FWIW, if we were to implement something like this, the format would be that after the keeper deadline, I would go in and mark every team has having a single round of penalty-free cuts, then as the draft starts I would go in and remove those penalty free cuts. If the majority of owners want to do something like that, we can (I'm happy to abide by majority opinion), but I'll go ahead and go on record that my vote is against it. I'll make a Google Forms poll momentarily and post the link
-
You are correct that the deadline dates themselves are fixed, but that the commissioner can apply a round of penalty free cuts to any team at any point (primarily intended to be used for owners who take over a team in between the keeper deadline and the draft date). That being said, I agree with Mayhem and Monastics that cuts after freeze defeat the purpose of a roster freeze, and injury risk is (to me) part of the appeal of the complex economic system of ottoneu
-
I agree. Cuts after freeze can get messy. Stuff happens.
-
The keeper date is set, but if we can just cut after it, then there's no point to a keeper deadline. Weighing the risk of injury against your cap allocation is part of the game.
-
I think the commissioner can grant cuts after the date but Niv sets the cut date. So commish could grant a final cut to anyone who had a qualifying injury on their roster. Would likely apply to only a few.
-
Is that even possible in Ottoneu? If that's a thing, we should just move the keeper date way closer to the season. Ottoneu having a cut date before spring training starts has always puzzled me.
-
I have often thought that there should be a round of "final cuts" the last day before the draft to allow teams to cut players who have gotten season ending ort near season ending injuries. Once again I am having that thought with Gerrit Cole's injury and TJ surgery. Could we put up a doodle and vote on that and let majority rule? Have it apply this season and all seasons going forward.
-
Thanks for getting us up and running Commish!
-
Excellent, we have a unanimous draft date of Monday, March 17th @ 8:30PM EDT!
-
I have also filled it out now, sorry for the delay
-
Sorry everyone crazy week at work, i voted
-
Still waiting to hear from Lansing Lugnuts and Under New Management on the Doodle poll!
-
So do we have a draft date yet?
-
Plus we can drink green beer and hope the leprechauns bring us good luck!
