Reminder keeper deadline tonight. Make all cuts before 11:59 EST tonight.
-
I'm in.... Also, it would be helpful to set a draft date at least a month out so I can request that time off work.

I'm in as well. Seems like the only officially abandoned team is Rhys but there hasn't been much action from Mench.

Yep I’m still in — I think Mench’s might be abandoned also
-
Count me in.
-
We need to fill Rhys's spot but is everyone else planning on playing this year? And anyone know any one that might be interested in taking over the team?

Last day for arbitration!!
-
Yeah it was really fun having it go down to the wire like that, and so many trades throughout the season that made the difference… so close on the pitching categories right up to the last day. I hoped that a name change would unjinx my catastrophic pitching meltdown down the stretch, but no luck. Weird that my desperation grab of Jose Quintana and Dean Kremer didn’t save the day for me…. Congrats Uptown!
-
It was a 3-team race for a long time and then Providence closed to within half a point on Tuesday. I thought he might take it -- or it would end in a tie. It was a fun season.

Congrats on a great season Uptown, I think you're gonna hang on! You were strong the entire way. It was quite a comeback attempt but fell just short. Shouldn't have traded you Julio :)
-
Well, that happened fast.

lol as a Brewers fan I stayed up to watch that game last night... it was like he was throwing batting practice... they were just sitting back on everything and swinging for the fences. From 0.00 to 4.50 in like three weeks. Wild
-
I may never get as close to first place as I am today, but I'd just like to thank Josh Hader for doing everything he can to make it possible. 3 HRs in 1/3 of an inning is truly special.

Trades are getting HOT! I love it
-
Despite appearances to the contrary, my team is not abandoned. It's just pitifully bad. Just for the record. :-)
-
Sorry gentleman I was out of the country, and I did not get a chance to do anything. SO I am doing it all now. Better late then never.
-
Yeah

"All pitchers can be placed in either SP or RP, regardless of eligibility. To get credit for a pitcher's performance, you must play him in the same role as his major league team uses him. Pitchers who start in real life must be put into SP roles, and pitchers who come out of the pen must be put into RP roles."
So if you have a relief pitcher that is scheduled to be an "opener", they need to be in a SP spot and a SP that is going to be scheduled to be a follower n

I might just drop him
-
Thoughts on what to do with Bauer? Don't know how I feel about drafting him
-
Just some unsolicited advice for anyone using Safari: the sound notifications don't work in the draft room (at least for me...even after checking all the settings). The draft moves super fast so that was a really big problem last year. It works fine with chrome though
-
I've only done draft day on my phone once, but my advice to Buxton is to refresh frequently if you are in and out, like Aviary said. And the first 30-45 minutes are when the star players are going to be up for bid. I'm just saying this in the interest of helping out a new owner and to continue a "healthy" league. I picked up an abandoned team last year, so I know what it's like to start with a roster that finished at the bottom of the standings.

I can't do Sunday evening either. Sorry.
-
We do not require a nomination and you will not be kicked from the draft if you fail to nominate. I believe nominations are 30 seconds but if you miss your nomination you will be considered idle and will be skipped for future nominations until you are active again. You will may have to refresh the site to be able to bid again but usually putting in a bid returns you to active status.
-
I appreciate you guys taking a second look at it. That was unexpected and extremely generous. I understand I'll be kicked out of the draft if I fail to nominate a player or I leave the draft. How long do I have to nominate a person when it's my turn and what constitutes leaving the draft? I might be able to sneak the draft in on my phone and would most likely be about 25-50% active.

Yeah I’d really prefer we keep it this Sunday. Fine moving the time around but next week is brutal for me with work and out of town travel which is why I took the team I did with the goal of being able to do the draft this Sunday
-
Any chance we could move the auction to a weeknight or next weekend to accommodate the new owner? If he's new to the league and new to ottoneu, it kinda sucks to miss the biggest event of the year and the best chance to build his team.

I prefer to keep the existing draft day/time. I think finding someone to draft for you is the best approach. Give that person a list of targets with max spend for each. Good luck.

Yeah, sorry, this Sunday was the one day I really didn’t want to do the draft, I was able to make it work but absolutely can’t do the evening

This post here talks about trying to find a proxy drafter
-
I recall there were a few conflicts with a later draft time due to other drafts/ obligations so I hesitate to move it again without hearing from None or Betances.
-
Alternatively, not sure if we could make this work but you could submit a list of players and the highest you’d bid on them. This would still be a big disadvantage because we’d know the price to beat on them, but at least you’d end up filling your roster. Not sure how this could work on the commissioners end tho
-
I have another home league drafting at 8 CT/9 ET on Sunday. I could move to a little later, but we need to be wrapped up by around 7:30, so I can change gears. But I don't know about everyone else.
-
You can sometimes message in the ottoneu community forum to try to find someone to do the draft for you. I could do later in the day but I think others had conflicts
-
Unfortunately something literally just came up and I won't be able to make it to the draft. I could do approximately 3 hours later if that works, otherwise I realize my team is going to look rough. I'll still play the season if that works or if you want to kick me from the league and find someone else, I'm cool with that too. I'm really sorry since I know it makes the league a little less competitive and fun.

Welcome aboard!
-
Glad to have you on board! Be sure to make all of your pre-draft cuts in 1 move, since the normal deadline has passed.
-
Hey guys really excited to join. irt time on Ottoneu, hopefully thats ok.
-
Hey guys! I never played Otteanu before so I can't wait to get stomped by you 11 year vets. Let me know if I do something really dumb however I'm excited about this format! Looks great!

1250 min for pitching, no min for batters
-
One last question for yall. Are there IP/GS minimums for pitchers and hitters?
-
Thanks for handling Tulsa, and welcome.
-
I think I found it on a different screen. You should have 1 more round of penalty-free cuts. Choose wisely!
