• My draft prep consists of hoping there will be a few decent players left after everybody else is done drafting so I can get 6 guys for $6. I think its a pretty solid strategy, lol.

  Cellar Dwellers on March 3, 2024 12:51 PM

• What is this draft prep of which you speak? I just always outbid Truly Adley Deeply by $1 as my strategy : )

  Rice-a-Romy on February 12, 2024 4:38 PM

• Delinquents hahaha. Could we start at 8:30pm instead? Kid's bedtime might otherwise interfere

  Dodger Dawgs on February 12, 2024 4:34 PM

• I already reached out to him, he's planning to rejoin ASAP, just forgot to pay his bill

  Rice-a-Romy on February 12, 2024 4:32 PM

• Thanks Jimmy but it looks like we had a manager leave today

  Down by the Schoolyard [891] on February 12, 2024 4:29 PM

• I'm putting down our draft for March 3rd -- we had two people mark that as "If necessary" and one mark it as "unavailable" (but I spoke to him directly and he'll try his best to make it work).
  
  I'm going to reach out to some folks about possibly doing Feb 29th instead (a leap day draft would be fun!) but I'm expecting we'll probably stick with March 3rd.
  
  Let me know if 8pm Eastern start presents a problem for anyone -- could start as late as 9pm if ne

  Rice-a-Romy on February 12, 2024 4:16 PM

• Let's figure out our draft date! First we'll determine a day, then we'll determine a time (for weeknights, assume an 8-9pm eastern start time, for weekends the time could be more flexible) Vote at this Doodle poll. https://doodle.com/meeting/participate/id/enGmpyEa

• If anyone is interested in trading for J.T. Realmuto, hit me up

  Irish Steppers on January 29, 2024 11:22 PM

• Also, after the keeper deadline I'll send out a Doodle poll to figure out the draft :)

  Rice-a-Romy on January 29, 2024 11:04 PM

• Last call on trading for the following guys who are on the bubble for me of keep vs cut: Ty France, Zach Neto, Matt Chapman, Jo Adell, Alek Thomas, Shane Bieber, Trevor Rogers, Chris Martin

  Rice-a-Romy on January 29, 2024 11:00 PM

• What are we thinking about for the draft?

  Cellar Dwellers on January 26, 2024 6:45 AM

• Reminder to renew your teams if you haven't done so already! The new payment provider, Paydala, is kind of obnoxious (it requires knowing your location to pay), but I just went through the process and it wasn't as bad as I had expected

  Rice-a-Romy on January 25, 2024 12:13 PM

• Hey league - it's been quiet here - hope everyone is getting ready for cut day at the end of the month! I'm just trying to get through another long winter until pitchers and catchers report :)
  
  BTW, if anyone is in the Slack Ottoneu community you can find me at Zach Brumbelow. And if you're not on Slack and want to be, just send me a message here and I'll connect you. It's a cool place for all things Ottoneu and baseball.

  Rice-a-Romy on November 14, 2023 11:40 AM

• And how have two teams not put maximum dollars on the team that won the league by over 1000 points??

  Cellar Dwellers on November 8, 2023 8:36 AM

• I finished in 6th place, why's everybody putting so much arbitration $$$ on me... :(

  Rice-a-Romy on October 31, 2023 8:35 AM

• Happy Arbitration season! If anyone has any questions or needs clarification on how arbitration works, please feel free to DM me! If you're considering dropping out of the league, please let me know ASAP so I can find a replacement while we're still in arbitration!

  Rice-a-Romy on October 19, 2023 7:56 AM

• Congrats on a great season Down By The Schoolyard, looking forward to the offseason!

  Artax Sticky Situation 🐎 on October 8, 2023 4:07 AM

• I got a bunch of young cheap talent and a bunch of salary cap space. I will be wide open for trades this off-season. Obviously some players will cost more than others, but no one is off limits. Send me your offers!

  Dodger Dawgs on October 3, 2023 11:49 AM

• What an incredible season by Down by the Schoolyard! Congratulations on the victory! Hope everyone is looking forward to this offseason as much as I am -- hoping to have a very active trade market for us all!

  Rice-a-Romy on October 3, 2023 11:26 AM

• Welp. It's that time of year where I fold it up. Looking for young prospects on dirt cheap deals or very cost-controlled productive guys as I reload for yet another year. If they aren't listed on my block I'm not looking to move them unless truly blown away but you can ask on anyone. Can retain $$.

• Shoutout to Dodger Dawgs for actually starting Domingo German for his perfect game -- sadly I forgot to check my lineup in my other league and left him on my bench despite the fact that he was facing Oakland :(

• The coin flip is only before the season starts. During the season ties are settled by standings - the team lower in the standings wins ties.

  Down by the Schoolyard [891] on May 1, 2023 11:28 AM

• The rule should be the one who nominates wins in a tie. This coinflip shit sucks!
