is Jarrod Parker ever going to get changed to a SP? And when will Chone Figgins be eligible at 3B?

Thanks to everyone for their comments today. I think we can all at least agree that we're all pretty darn ready for the season to begin! :)

The beauty of this style of game is there is no one way to win it. You can go for a mix of high dollar and low dollars or play safe in the middle, you can go with proven talent, rookies, or washed up vets, you can throw away a "category" if you want....
-
We all saw the trainwreck that was coming with his roster during the auction, so this is definitely a situation you could have anticipated and saved resources for. The situation is unfortunate, but not unreasonable.
-
I might not have chosen to cut Hanley myself (there were certainly other high dollar contracts), but it's clear Dennis did this in an effort to improve his team.
-
I imagine there would have been a decent trade market for Hanley, but I can see why Dennis would have felt rushed to clear cap space -- there were a bazillion auctions and he couldn't afford to sign anyone for more than $1.
-
I'd just like to concur with what Heyward and Curve had to say. Was I frustrated that I didn't save enough money to reasonably make a claim on Hanley? Sure, but that was a choice I made and it allowed me to get some good value contracts.
-
And while it's important to have a forum like this to express positive and negative feedback, I think we should stay away from the insults. Hopefully this is the start of a long-standing league, so let's keep in mind the atmosphere we want to create here
-
Wow - lots of action on the board today. From my perspective, as long as people are making decisions in an effort to help their team, I've got no issues. I don't have to agree with the decision as long as it's on the "up and up."
-
The only time I would be concerned about someone dumping players into the free agent pool is if they're doing it with the intention of causing havoc. That's not the case in this situation.
-
Yeah, let's all try to be civil, folks. We all made decisions throughout the draft about how much to spend. Foxes decided they'd spent too much and did what they felt was best for their team. That's all we can ask any manager to do.
-
otherwise, insults do nothing but inflame the situation and show your own malice not just for one owner, but the entire league. think about it...
-
if you refer to the complete email chain, i think we can understand his reasoning for dropping hamram. a man once said, "there's no crying in baseball." if you want hamram, submit a fair offer, and we can discuss it.
-
uncalled for. this is a free market system where owners can do what they want. couldn't crazy foxes then call you so stupid for not saving money for the in-season player activity?
-
if i knew crazy foxes owner was so stupid, i would have saved some more money to cherry pick his best players

Gladden, please see e-mail about what happened with Hanley. But yes, players can't be nominated for auction until they pass through waivers (you can claim players for 24 hours after they are cut for their full salary).
-
Im sure there was a trade market for Hanley Ramirez
-
I tried to nominate hanley ramirez earlier, and it wouldn't let me- same with Ryan Raburn- Are these players suppose to be eligible now? Thats really fucked up that someone would cut someone of that caliber and really throw off budgets at this time-

Cut a player, pay half his salary until someone else picks him up. Full rules under "support" above.
-
hey guys, refresh me on the cut rules again...I could look them up but I'm lazy :)

It's not ideal, but it'll work.
-
Yeah. I'm not a fan at all.
-
This is awesome. Bid on a zillion players at once and hope you don't win 'em all? Or just focus on the guys you actually want?

I don't have a list, but the eligibility criteria are here: http://ottoneu.fangraphs.com/support . Can you see an "Auction Draft" link above? You can search for players that are SP/RP eligible.
-
Do you have a list of dual eligibility pitchers? What is the criterea to be eligible at RP or SP?
-

-
@Maybee, we have to start 5 SP and 5 RP. There are some players with dual eligibility. Yes, we can stop before everyone has full rosters if owners are satisfied. Once auction is over, players can be auctioned in-season via 48 hour blind auctions.
-
my own clarification the ratio is 5 sp and 5 rp in your starting lineup always right? you can't go sp heavy and have 7 sp and 3 rp in your lineup right?
-
2. when we all agree to stop our pre-season draft we may not all have the same number of players correct? additional players will be auctioned in 48hr drafts once season starts right?
-
hey guys, looking forward to a great keeper league and draft. I do have a couple of questions to clarify. 1. do we have to start 4 sp and 4 rp each day in that ratio?
-
I sent around an information e-mail to everyone to the e-mail address associated with your team account. Please let me know if you did not receive it.
-
@crazyfox, could you please change your team name? Otherwise, people will think that you are me. :) -Justin
-
@9 Diamond, Yes, the ottoneu game is designed as a year-round keeper game. Complete rules are here: http://ottoneu.fangraphs.com/support
-
@Carry, I have no idea what the Valencia thing is. If it doesn't go away in a few days, I'll ask Niv. It's my first auction too, even if I've been using this points system for a year. Looking forward to it!

Is this a Keeper league?

By the way, really excited for the league. My first auction draft and my first points league. Looking forward to a fun season guys.
-
Just looked at the homepage and saw that Danny Valencia is up for auction. I'm assuming this is just some sort of test run before the actual auction starts next Tuesday?
-
Wow, league's full. Welcome aboard! One last time, I'll re-iterate that everyone needs to be sure to be present at the auction, which begins 8:30pm EST Tuesday, March 8th. I'm delighted to have a full league and looking forward to it. My first auction.
