Ottoneu 2018

Ceetar Oct 03 2017 10:17 AM

Everyone's still in right? Anyone want to be first alternate for someone that may or may not come back? I was able to add a site password which should prevent people from randomly grabbing accidentally abandoned teams. the password for the league is 'ed'.

metsmarathon Oct 03 2017 01:52 PM Re: Ottoneu 2018

i have a friend who might be interested in taking on a team, if need be. he's a mets fan. although, given the history of the league, maybe y'all shouldn't let me bring anyone else in, so as the rest of y'all might have a chance of winning! ;)

metsmarathon Oct 03 2017 02:14 PM Re: Ottoneu 2018

if i may continue a thought from the 2017 thread... instead of divisions, and if we did put some small meager cash money on the table, we could always award a smaller prize for the second-half winner. tally the stats at the all star break, reset the totals to zero, and see who does best from then on. that might be enough to keep people's interest. alternatively, and i'd mentioned this in the message board, we could try to run an off-line head to head mirror league, where we sum up every team's weekly stats and match 'em up against that week's designated opponent. it'd take a fair bit of work to pull off, but would offer some distinction and maybe a reason for lower-tier teams to play. altogether though, i was in 7th place at the end of june, and going into the last month, i honestly felt like if things broke just right, i might be able to make a run at the lead. and was really hoping to at least take second. and the devil toads climbed from 35 points to 60, and were within spitting distance of a few more points, too. and poor muddy chickens, looked like he was going to run away with the damned thing early in the season, and he dropped to 8th (and will plummet to 9th once his pitching stats get expunged). so the season is really up for grabs even late. i guess the bigger issue might be how do we get the bottom of the league to get into the game, and keep trying to run out the best lineups and build the best rosters, but theoretically, the dynastic nature of our league should make that happen. those teams should be shedding salary and building future depth.

seawolf17 Oct 03 2017 02:19 PM Re: Ottoneu 2018

My team was all over the place this year, and I made bad lineup decisions because I wasn't on top of it every day. I left a ton of points on the table that could have put me into second place. I'm back in for next year, and I don't want to make a massive financial investment, but a fun $20 buy-in or something is doable.

I'm already in Fman's league for like $100 or something. but I was thinking like $20, or even 10. at $20 we could do $120 to the winner and like $40 to the second half winner or like $5 for each category win.

I'm updating Ottoneu. league password is 'welcome abordick' which should help keep rando's from claiming teams that we lose and don't notice, etc. new features and the like. playoffs, head to head? [url]http://community.ottoneu.com/t/head-to-head-scoring-coming-to-ottoneu-fantasy-baseball-in-2018/2669 this will be messy as it's new features, new coding. but we gotta do it. it makes it more competitive. I'm going to turn playoffs on unless there's overwhelming angst about it. We can vote on switching to head to head/divisions and the playoff format. The playoff format will always be head to head though, just an fyi. I'm gonna make two threads for voting. one for head to head versus current, one for playoff options.

If everyone else falls though and you need an extra dude, I can play. I was terrible a few years ago at keeping up with the daily lineup changes, but work has me in front of a desk 5 days/week, so I'd be more reliable nowadays. LMK, fellas.

TransMonk Mar 14 2018 05:59 AM Re: Ottoneu 2018

I voted for playoffs, but it is not a deal breaker for me. I can also understand about not wanting the formats to change as teams have been built around current stat categories. Just my 2 cents.

your team is your team. keepers are already set. you keep everyone. It'll suck to miss the draft though. At the very least you should see if you can find someone that just wants to draft for you, at least just for a few guys to round out the roster. otherwise you'll have a week to play with the waiver wire and add guys. You're coming in with a real solid team though.

A Boy Named Seo Mar 16 2018 11:13 AM Re: Ottoneu 2018

The new Easton Assassins ownership has reached out to the owners of the park in Guadalajara, Mexico (where the Cornballers used to call home) to check on the park's availability for the upcoming season. Usage of the Cornballerâ„¢ machine in the concession area during our inaugural season sadly resulted in numerous injuries to staff and patrons alike, so the Guadalajara tenants have refused all attempts to renew our partnership, citing "current and pending litigation," whatever that implies. As such, we have contacted a number of municipalities in the US, Canada and Mexico and have found one eager taker: the city of Pawnee, Indiana. There is a small park on the border of Pawnee and the neighboring town of Eagleton that Mayor Knope has invited our club to use for free, on one condition. We must pay tribute to the storied history of Pawnee and their native ancestors by adorning our uniforms with the name and colors of their legacy mascot, the Pawnee Drunken Savages. We have happily accepted! We'll see you on the field soon, Pawneeans!

this is what i get for questioning the commitment of other owners - my offense is basically carlos baerga in a mets jersey, and thanks to some terribly poor outings of late, my pitching isn't even holding up its own end - basically steve trachsel with a much, much better strikeout rate. its early sure, but yeesh this is looking ugly.

metsmarathon May 16 2018 12:50 PM Re: Ottoneu 2018

i hope its still early enough, because i'm still trying to figure out how my team could possibly be so bad offensively. in terms of runs scored and slugging, i'm farther away from 11th place than the 11th place team is from 4th place! obp is better, in that the same gap only puts 11th place into 8th, and for homers only 9th. so i might have a chance at eventually getting some points in those two categories.... my pitching seems to have gotten better, too, after a few unnecessary bumps, with about the third best squad. but, man alive, i could hardly have a worse offense if i'd tried!

A Boy Named Seo May 16 2018 12:57 PM Re: Ottoneu 2018

I didn't save during the draft, and I'm finding ways to throw money around. The more you cut during the season, the less you need to cut during the offseason. But while my pitching has responded to my moves, my lineup hasn't; I had a complete game one-hitter last night and still lost three points.

metsmarathon Jun 06 2018 07:18 AM Re: Ottoneu 2018

hey, my team is a disaster, and i could sure use a slugger! [checks chris davis' stats] holy shit dude. he's so bad he wouldn't even help my shithole of a lineup. i, too, did not save during the draft, and am wondering what the hell i managed to spend my money on.

seawolf17 Jun 06 2018 07:23 AM Re: Ottoneu 2018

My team has trouble with the longball - we don't hit enough, and we give up too many. Which is weird, because I've got sluggers; they're just not slugging. Stanton is hitting them, sort of, but Kris Bryant and Josh Bell aren't.

Done.

Nice! A trade! MOAR TRADEZ!!

Congrats Rougned's Odor on the boat-race win! I think you moved into first a month or two ago and just kept steady pace. It was a spirited battle for the other 2 medal positions. Looks like a few more ABs/innings today to shore up 2nd and 3rd. Cool league, cool format. Thanks for letting me crash again this year.

Is Rougned's Odor in the CPF? And who runs the Pawnee Drunken Savages? Thanks to everybody involved (especially for letting me get Jeff McNeil for $3) and congrats to the winner. He took his lumps last year (grabbing an abandoned team, IIRC), but he took full advantage of all the unspent money he had coming into this season.

Lots of stuff to talk about this offseason. fight about. argue about. whine about. think the price is going up too. I have to look it up but.. 1. playoff format 2. Do we want to throw a couple more bucks in for a prize at the end? 3. possible change in regular format? 4. anybody leaving/coming? 5. when's the draft? Anyone got plans for mid march? I typically pick a tuesday or wednesday night at 9. Probably the 19th or 20th. But arguably we could do it waaaay earlier. It's not like a regular league where you want to know who's going to make the teams. knowing who's on the bubble is part of the auction/keeper structure.

I'm hanging my ottoneu ownership hat up. If anyone wants (or knows someone who wants) to take over my team, I'm happy to turn over the reigns before arbitration and cuts so that a new owner can do as they see fit with what I've got. Otherwise, I'll make those decisions as though I was carrying on, but I'd like to be out before next year's draft for sure.

metsmarathon Oct 01 2018 12:23 PM Re: Ottoneu 2018

despite the fact that i was horrible in this season, (actually, i shat the bed in both my leagues this year), i prefer this format to any others. i actually thought i had a puncher's chance until the all star break came along and crushed my dreams with cold reality. i need to find a way to get unspent money. my team is shit, and all overpaid, and yet i struggle to identify where i should clearly make cuts. also, i believe in these guys. much like the mets, i think we turned it around a bit at the end, giving reasons for hope. but, man. i need to look at my pre-season projections to see how badly it all was. yikes!

Do arbitration! we need a few new teams too, who's in?!

smg58 Nov 10 2018 05:17 AM Re: Ottoneu 2018

Arbitration ends on Wednesday the 14th, so if you want to make your opponents pay more for their best players, now is the time to make that happen.

smg58 Nov 12 2018 08:38 AM Re: Ottoneu 2018

Wow, you're really bumping up DeGrom. Perhaps I should have kept quiet...

But this has been on my list for a while. my logic is basically "just throw money at guys you know they'll keep" We do need I think two? new people btw.

A Boy Named Seo Nov 12 2018 09:11 AM Re: Ottoneu 2018

I'm not clear how to actually throw around the money? This site is sadly not super intuitive.

seawolf17 Nov 12 2018 09:34 AM Re: Ottoneu 2018

You're right, it's not. Click on the "Arbitration" link on the left side of the top nav, and then there's an "overview" drop down just under that. Click through each team in the drop down one by one, allocating $1-3 per team.

Looks like the three teams who haven't allocated are all non-CPFers.
