Episode 1 of “OttoGraphs”, the ottoneu-centric fantasy baseball podcast, is here! This weekly (or possibly more frequent) podcast will cover all things ottoneu, from auction strategy, valuation tools, in season tips/tricks, and offseason trade/keeper strategy.

The first segment of this episode serves as our introduction, and touches briefly on what the four of us (Joe, Justin, Tom, and Trey) love about ottoneu and how we got our start with it.

We apologize in advance for the untimely nature of our second segment’s content, but even though the Keeper deadline in ottoneu has come and gone we thought it would still be instructive to keep this segment away from the cutting room floor.

Feel free to comment with any questions or suggestions you may have about this episode or future topics, and we can be reached individually on Twitter:

@Fazeorange

Lastly, special thanks to Treemen who provided our intro and outro music. If you like what you hear, please check out their other work at http://treemen.bandcamp.com/

DRAFT BOARD

This is our raw feed for about 1.5 hours discussing our picks back and forth. It’s not like the normal podcast, but I think it’s still an interesting listen. Definitely let me know what you think in the comments or Twitter as I may consider something similar for other drafts I have coming up next month.
