I have done tiered Ottoneu rankings for FanGraphs Points leagues for a few years now, and every year I write a version of the same intro over and over again. This year, I am just going to write this up, link back to it, and then for the intro to each ranking, I can talk a bit about the position overall. For today, no rankings just yet. Just a little discussion of methodology and other such things. Let’s do a little FAQ.
(Editor’s Note: This article is a refreshed version of something Trey Baughn wrote in 2016. Many of the links point to old content that is still useful but may be outdated. We’re working to update that content this off-season.)
If you play Ottoneu, you probably know most of this, though skimming for a refresher never hurt anyone. But if you don’t play Ottoneu, if you are just a FanGraphs reader who sees the Ottoneu content we post but you haven’t yet actually tried Ottoneu, you might be wondering, “What is Ottoneu?” And I am here to tell you.
Ottoneu is a smarter, better brand of fantasy baseball. By design, it’s a fantasy platform engineered for serious, engaged baseball fans who don’t enjoy the term “off-season.” If you are reading FanGraphs, Ottoneu is probable something you shoudl check out. It’s the perfect fit anyone looking to join a competitive fantasy baseball league with a lot of cool features, a sabermetric-economy, and a massive community of passionate fans.
Lucas shared his difficult keep or cut decisions at SP earlier this week and in the process answered a couple of difficult choices for me. Cristian Javier, in particular, has been a thorn in my off-season planning and seeing Lucas so comfortable moving on has helped me come to terms with what has to be done. But there are still a few SP on my rosters that I am not 100% sure what to do with.
We hit a bit of a lull over the holidays, but we are back in full swing, continuing our series of tough keep/cut decisions as we get closer to the Ottoneu keeper deadline (1/31). Lucas covered his decisions back in December, now here are mine.
