1 team actually did arbitration…..if this goes forward, doesn’t that have to be re-done?
-
That's great news!
Yeah hopefully we can all just renew right away so we're good to go by 1/31. That's when we have to make cuts also, correct? I'm guessing that would be too short a window to try to do arbitration as well?

I think I just filled the other one too
-
I think have them go to this web-site: https://ottoneu.fangraphs.com/claimteams
If we want to move forward, I think we need to get one more before Jan 31st just because people need to renew their teams by that date. I don't know what ottoneu would do if no one renews right away. I'm assuming teams get locked?
-
Nice work Droids. I am doing some recruiting as well. No luck yet but still trying.
-
I found an owner for one of the teams. I’ll have him sign up, just let me know what he needs to do to claim the team
-
I've posted in the past. I think LFP's took a look at that, but I literally got nothing back. The only random that grabbed that was squints when he claimed a team. Nobody ever emailed me the past couple years to posts.
-
I definitely want to keep the league going. Can we post in the community page (https://community.ottoneu.com/)? There is a category for managers wanted. Teams are getting claimed from the posts that I look at. I couldn't figure out how to post. Maybe it's commish restricted.

I have 20 game nights the next 2 months and me trying to find people is really tough in my opinion. I would say realistically, we need to find 2 people by March 1. If we don't, then I think it's done. The catch is you have to renew your team by Jan 31st. I don't think all of our teams will be claimed since that is a part of the problem. But I can't say it isn't a possibility. I think we have 9-10 solid guys in here, but it's been a rotating opening. Hope it works out. Thanks
-
Here is where we are at in my opinion. The last 2 off-seasons i have had to find people. I've tried message boards, I've tried contacts, I've tried a lot of ways. Really get nothing back other than people knowing people. Squints and Bastardo have said they are gone. I really am either way. If we can find a couple guys to fill, great, I'll keep going. If we can't, I can handle it going away. But the off-season is super busy for myself being a high school basketball coach.
-
I’d really like to continue as well…how many teams do at need to fill?…I’ll do my best to find some new guys
-
It would be a real shame. I enjoy this league tremendously and would love to see it continue. I don’t know anyone who could join but I’m hoping that we go on.

hey so it looks like the league might be dead unless we have a few more teams that want to join? I'd like to keep it going, but I guess I can start looking around for another league if we don't find anyone. if the league ends up dying, anyone with an opening in another league feel free to shoot me a message: matthewksommerfeld@gmail.com

So here is where we are at. We are down 2 teams for sure. I have talked to one other team that is considering being done. I'm waivering but will stick it out if we can find people. The past 2 off-season I have had to find people and I'm finding it more and more difficult. For us to continue this, we will need someone finding someone other than me. Otto-nudes has offered to take over the commish which I am okay with, but to me, finding owners is the key issue this league faces.
-
Squints is done as well. It was an abysmal season and I’m firing myself. My best to all!
-
Commish, thank you for your hard work all these years. Unfortunately the time has come for me to leave this league. I won't be back next year. It has been a lot of fun to play with all of you all these seasons and wish that the league continues for many more years. At least I leave a decent team to whomever comes next

(And congrats Droids. Tremendous season.)
-
Awesome job again this year commish. Already looking forward to next year. Hope everyone has a good offseason. Peace. -ECB
-
Everyone should be paid up except east coast bias. I need to get you $50.
-
Thanks commish for everything you do…my Venmo: @DrJeffMalucci
-
Oh, and east coast bias, send me your stuff too. It looks like 4th place split money so you and otto-nudes would get $50 each. Better than nothing I'd say.
-
For this year, we will do the top 4 again. I think I'm seeing enough want to go to top 3 so we will address that later. Congrats to Droids for winning the league. Droids, Scoop, Barney, and Otto-nudes, let me know how you want to get paid. Again, with venmo I can get it to your sooner than paypal but I can do both. I'll send reminders for arbitration. Nobody has indicated they want out so I'm assuming we will be going another year. Thanks guys!
-
Sounds good to me too
-
I'm okay with revising the prizes too!

Yes I agree with this too! I am never in favor of the "giving your money back" fantasy consolation prize. Add it to the top 3.

I completely agree with Ground Control. Much prefer something like 7/3/2 or 650/350/2 or something like that.

I’m open to it. Just need a consensus for me to feel okay doing it.

Can we get rid of the payment to 4th place next year? Fourth place does not deserve to be rewarded

Good luck the rest of the way to those on top. Reminder these are the payouts: $600-$300-$200-$100. If you have venmo, I'll get your info after and send you your winnings the next day. Paypal would take an extra couple of days due to the bank. When the season is over let me privately or on here how to send you the money.
-
Thank you!
-
Done
-
Not sure if its too late but hopefully there is a way for the Droids to have that Eury Perez pick nullified with no punishment. Thats an honest mistake.
-
Can I cancel the latest auction….I thought it was the prospect Eury Perez, not that old man
-
Reminder that the draft is tomorrow (Saturday) night at 7 central time. Everyone has paid so we are good to go there.
-
derek-ouren is venmo. Derek.ouren@gmail.com is paypal. Either is fine with me.
-
That’s the $100 donation to the pot o gold right? Did we use PayPal last year?
-
I have received payment from East Coast Bias, Ground Control, Inglorious Bastardo, and Scoop Jardine so far. Reminder I would like payment by the draft which is Satudray night.
-
Optimism prevails!!!! Draft is set for March 19th at 8pm EST. Send payment whenever you want. Derek.ouren@gmail.com is the paypal. derek-ouren is the venmo. Need to pay by draft day.
-
Paid. Thanks for keeping this rolling commish.
-
Yes to sticking with the 3/19 @ 7pm ct draft date. It sounds like that works for everyone, and I don't really see the benefit of delaying the draft date based on the players/owners failing to reach a deal.

My gut says to try to make the 3/19 date at 7 pm central work. I haven't heard an outstanding no to that date and I have to think MLB isn't going to totally screw this up. Also, I think we should tie having to pay your entry fee to the draft date. I will not allow you to draft unless you pay. It alleviates a lot of headache later for everyone to just have to pay before the draft. So 3/19 at 7pm Central is the draft. Pay by then. derek-ouren is venmo. Derek.ouren@gmail.com is paypal.
-
Also good with 3/19 @ 8pm EST. Only thing that could get in the way is if my Iowa Hawkeyes sneak into the final 32 and play that night. Really hoping to get some good news out of these negotiations today...not very optimistic we are going to get Opening Day on time. Hope I'm wrong. -ECB
-
I should be around that night too! I will have another commitment I will have to tend to simultaneously for the first couple of hours but hopefully I can balance both. I'm also hoping something good happens on the CBA negotiating front today!

3/19 @ 8 pm ET works for me. I don't think there's much harm in just doing the auction in March, even if the season is delayed for a bit.

Hoping to hear good things by the end of the week with my fingers crossed. I have reached out to about 1/2 of the league about potential dates if things work out on the CBA. How does March 19th at 8 pm ET work for everyone? If the CBA doesn't get agreed to and we see a long break before the season starts, we can postpone that date, but for the sake of planning a head for those with kids and other lives, I'm throwing this day out to see if we can do it then?
-
Reminder cuts are due at 11:59pm ET Tuesday night. I know we don't know when it starts, but Niv made the decision on ottoneu and I think it's just safe to go by that. We are all in the same boat. We will wait on scheduling a draft until we know more on start of the season.
-
Everyone renewed. We are good to go. I think we wait a little to schedule draft until we see the path when season starts. Cuts are still scheduled in 2 weeks on the 15th of February.
-
fyi Today is the last day to renew the team with Ottoneu
