Ok gang, not sure if we're looking at 2 or 3 openings, but I will keep working. I'd like to set a draft date before everyone gets booked. So give me some feedback. Also, this is your league, and things can change such as scoring. I know it's probably late for this year since our keeper lists are set for Classic 4x4. Look at some of the other options too, such as adding MiLB. Just throwing things out to make this a great and fun experience.
-
Today is January 31st, please don't make this harder than it is. Good to see all the activity.
-
Feeling a little beat up, but still on the hunt. We lost one of our new owners, Mateo. Duty calls and he’s been reassigned to a different station, severely impacting his free time for the next six months. So let’s get out and talk it up.
-
One week left to get roster cuts and funding done. Anointed Old Guys Rule as co- commissioner to help mostly me to stay on track. We still need one owner. Talk it up guys and see if we can find a diamond in the rough.
-
Okay guys, things are looking up. Everyone should be working on their cuts and making sure Team fee is in by January 31st. Let's keep this ship sailing.

Hey all, I'm in for 2020

We've added another new owner guys. Give a shoutout to Mateo, who I have a feeling will bring a lot to the table, in that cunning kind of way. Keep the check ins coming.

Heads up everyone. Coming up to Keeper deadline on 1/31. Also, could y'all take a second to let the league know your status for this season. Let's make this an even better league. Probably should mention now, although draft is a bit off, it'll creep up fast. Let me know if you have preferences or conflicts. Thanks ALL! Just 27 Outs Away.

Heads up guys, we have a new league owner. Claiming Steve Garvey's Forearms is Kevin who has brought in Kevin's New Headache. I'm hopeful we'' get our other two spots filled shortly. Give a shout out to the new tem.
-
Anyone have a Slack account or have contacts that may be interested in showing off their management skills on Ottoneu? Need everyone to help me out here. Slack would be good. Happy Holidays everyone!
-
Just a reminder that arbitrage concludes on the 15th. Do your best and let me know if you have anyone who might be interested in filling an ownership spot or help as proxy.
-
We’re going to miss those Forearms. Sorry to see you go.

I will not be back next year.

As we come to the close of our second season, let’s not forget that front office duties still need to be done. Please have your team legal. Be prepared for arbitration. And if anyone is dropping out, we’ll miss you, but let’s give potential new owners the opportunity to manage their teams. Meaning let me know now. And I can’t say it often enough, thank you commish for getting us here. Later guys, Commish in Training.
-
Y'all will have to bear with me during the learning curve. But I enjoy the league and hope we can keep it going. Talked the other OG into helping out too. With everyone's help and competitive spirit I think we keep this intact when the founding father returns. Commish, thanks for all your hard work. We really do want you back.
-
Thanks for stepping up Poppy! I know we all appreciate it!
-
League,
Effective immediately, I will be making Poppy co-commissioner through the end of the season when he will take over full commissioner duties. I wish you all the best of luck and hope you can keep this league running!
-
Is anyone interested in taking over running this league for next year? PM me if you are

a lot of sense. Plus, Surplus Value / Value should be tools for evaluating rosters and trades - I can't see any non-injury or suspension circumstance where Clevinger's Value is greater than Betts next year.
-
I understand the concept of Surplus Value - but I believe success also requires acquiring value. Value in this case being defined as Production + Surplus Value. So if Mookie is producing at a $41 level and his salary is $49, then his Value is $33 or his Production of $41 plus his Surplus Value of $(8). Clevinger has a Value in our league of $10 (Salary of $12 plus Surplus Value of $(2). You win leagues with Production and build teams with Surplus Value, but a disparity like this doesn't make
-
I'd be happy to move Bryant, Murphy, Hill, Dozier, etc. for assets with surplus value for next season to anyone who wants to keep up with the moves that the Old Guys are making. Not that it guarantees anything, obviously. In another otto league I moved future assets for Harper, Sale, Chapman and Cruz a few weeks ago and am now further behind even though the league leader hasn't made any trades.

The Surplus Calculator has Betts being worth $41 (and he's signed for $49) and Clevinger worth $12 (and signed for $14). Obviously individuals will value players differently but that seems like a decent start. Given the state of pitching, I'll pay that $2 premium for Clevinger and keep him for next year while Betts was likely a cut at that price for me. An arguement could be made that I overpaid for a young, "reliable" pitcher but given the salaries I hardly think it's a trade worthy o

vs dropping the player and getting nothing of value. Anyway …...under this strategy, which is a big part of otto (vs a typical yahoo league) there will rarely ever be "balanced" trades. It's very tight this year and im willing to push in my chips this year for a bite at the apple. If i fail, then i have mortgaged some valuable pieces and start in the hole next season. Same principle as the Grienke trade, Astros shipped some top prospects for a bite at the apple. Hopefully makes

Veto? .........so I have played Otto in a few leagues for a number of years. When a team pulls the plug on the current season, that team starts moving towards rebuilding for next season which typically involves unloading (good) players with bloated/high contracts and trying to acquire assets (players/prospects). The players unloaded are typically players that they wont keep into next season due to the salary, so least a team owner can pick up some pieces (keepers/prospects) for next season.

Those are a couple of very unbalanced trades by the Old Guys. Mookie Betts for MIke Clevinger? Call Dave Dombrowksi - he needs to jump on that for the Bosox. And Judge for Frazier? Please .... when I make trades, they are balanced. These trades are not - I voted to veto both. Join me!
-
I second the sentiment of Poppy - I have always enjoyed watching Tyler Skaggs pitch. I traded for him earlier this season and will keep him as part of my team until Niv takes him out of the player pool. Thanks for the 5 or 6 years of enjoyment having you on my fantasy team Tyler. May God welcome you to the Field of Dreams up there ....

Sadness rocks our world. We will miss you Tyler. ☹️

A call to arms!! Maybe not a call to arms, but a call for assistance anyway. I have got myself into some budget trouble. Thought I was making a move to help myself, but only made things worse. If any of my other league owners feel like helping the 'new' guy out. I could use some trade offers from anyone willing to take on more salary and provide me with some relief. I will look to make some offers as well, but didn't want to limit any opportunities:)

I do not have the ability to retract an auction so we'll just see how the auction plays out. You may well get outbid anyway

Can I retract an Auction? I started an auction for the wrong player. I did not want to start an auction for Elias Diaz the Pirate catcher.
