I thought my team would be a contender but after the terrible start I am considering starting to sell early if I can get the right deals.
I’d deal anyone but I’m not a big prospects guy. I’d want players with surplus in exchange for players who are at par or over value but are better.
*I still see Acuna as having surplus for next year, so would take a mountain to move him.

Happy Auction Day! Please be on time (7:30pm Eastern) and remember that you’re required to make nominations. If you miss 3 in a row or repeatedly miss them in general, you can be removed from the draft. Sometimes lag can be an issue, so I’ll hit pause when a team gets down to 1 second and send a message in the chat reminding the owner that it’s their turn. Please pay attention so that the draft runs smoothly, and we can finish without any hiccups.

Shout out to Gonzilla for getting the draft date set. Thanks! Even though we have one team open, prospective new owners can now see the draft date while deciding if they want to pick up the team.
-
Hey guys! We’re still looking for one owner to take over the Manfred’s Minions team. If you can please spread the word. It looks like all 11 of our current owners voted for the draft date.
There’s only one date that works for everyone and that’s Thursday March 14 from 7:30-10:30. Thanks to everyone for responding so quickly.

Sounds fair to me. Thanks for doing all that
-
Just to chime in, Gonzilla went above and beyond the call of duty to try to contact these two (former) owners via multiple channels. Their failure to respond to him and take proper team management actions put us in a position where we needed to move in a new direction for the best interest in the league.
-
Sounds good. Thanks for staying on top of it!
-
The two teams are now available to be claimed, so If you know any good owners please spread the word. I will make a post on Otteneu's community message board and in the Managers Wanted Slack channel. Thank you.

Hey all, Cary Grove and I have decided to remove the owners of Pelham Fastooks and Manfred's Minions. They did not renew their teams by the payment deadline and Manfred's Minions didn't get his roster in a legal state by the Keeper deadline. We did our due diligence trying to reach them via message board, direct message, and personal email but received no response. We wanted to act swiftly so that we have plenty of time to find replacements.

Reminder keeper deadline is tonight at 11:59p.
Please renew your team and have your roster in a legal state. Thanks!

Hello everyone! I'm posting the Doodle for the Auction Draft since I know everyone will likely be checking the league page with the Keeper/Payment deadline approaching. Some of you are in other leagues, so it would be best to set the date early to avoid conflicting draft times. If there are any questions feel free to ask on the message board. The link to the Doodle is below.

I got zero offers for my Gerrit Cole silent auction. As I stated in my original post, the auction ended at noon today.

Are we going to decide on a draft day soon?

I am officially kicking off the second annual Gerrit Cole silent auction (I did the same thing last season in a different Ottoneu league). I will trade Cole to whoever sends me the best offer. This silent auction will end next Friday, Jan. 26 at Noon CST. I need help at OF, 3B, and could also use at least one serviceable SP to backfill Cole's soon to be open roster spot. So, whoever sends me the best offer gets Cole. Hint: I don't appreciate prospects very much; I need starting talent.
-
Greene and Cease are available if interested. Serious offers only please
-
Happy New Year everyone! Just a reminder that the keeper deadline is January 31st. Everyone will need to be at or below the $400 cap by February 1st.

I realize this is a baseball site, however I want to point out that Cary-Grove HS just won the Illinois class 6A football championship for the second time in three years.

Last day of arb. Just have one team who hasn’t completed it. I will message directly. Thank you!

Just a friendly reminder that arbitration ends in 5 days. I few teams still need to make their selections and perhaps some teams might make some final tweaks to prior entries. This message is just to guard against some busy person failing to realize the end is near. I have been that person before.

Hey y'all. I'm Dan, the new owner of Schrute Farms / Team Name TBD (also @lollygagr on Ottoneu Slack). While I have a lot of season-long FGPTs experience, I'm excited to jump into my second H2H league. Some of you already know me from other leagues, and while I'm not always lightning-fast to respond depending on job & travel, I'll respond to offers and try not to spam with mine. I'll get on arb shortly, and will be taking a look at other rosters for potential deals. Looking forward to it
-
I appreciate PF's candor and how he's handling the situation. I guess I'm just echoing Cobb's sentiment in his recent post. Our lives get busy, jobs get demanding. I will close with thanking PF for his work in this league in my 3+ years here whether he continues as a commish or passes the torch.
-
Pelham I’m going to ask you to look a little deeper (and I’m not trying to offend) but you have disappeared the last two years and not set a lineup for a few weeks each time. You also are hit or miss (mostly miss) regarding responding to messages. I completely understand busy schedules and it’s only fantasy baseball but do you really think you can commit to a season of being attentive? Maybe a co-owner would help. It is a $100 money league. Just curious your thoughts.

I’d like to take a moment to appreciate you PH. It is commendable that you were able to look at a situation like this objectively. We need more people willing to do that in our world.
First class league of good people here.
-
Hey yeah, you guys are right. My job has become much more demanding over the last year and I have not been able to dedicate enough time to be commissioner here. I’m sorry if that’s made the league less fun for people. Happy to step down, again sorry for the difficulties I’ve created.
-
So we have two openings in the league. I’ve made a post on slack and another in the community forum. Spread the word if you have anyone interested in one of your other leagues. In the meantime, please complete your arb which is due Nov 14th. Thanks fellas!

I agree with Schrute. Pelham has disappeared for weeks during the past 2 seasons and even if he is on he rarely if ever answers messages. Less than ideal in H2H leagues. I agree it’s a discussion for all of us to have including Pelham if/when he returns.

Yeah I’ll go ahead and do that. Thanks everyone for making this a fun and competitive league! Hopefully starting fresh will bring better luck to my team!

Thanks Schrute we will need to have that discussion. Would you like me to abandon your team?

I believe I removed myself and made Gonzilla a co-commissioner. My 2 cents - Pelham, I really don’t think should be commissioner. I took over as a co-commissioner so that this league would still function. Running an Ottoneu league requires far more attention than he gives it and TBH I’m not even sure he should have a team as it’s really hard to get in touch with him during the season.
-
This league is active and I’m hoping it can remain fun and competitive for years to come. I have no problem with any of those being nominated to be a commissioner.
