League Message Board

I had the date on my calendar as tonight, not sure how I screwed that up. But not a single reminder from Ottoneu or a message reaching out to me to see if I was joining? Brutal.

Hopefully we can fill it but the reality is that there are over 170 teams currently available. Some are in leagues that are dying (more than 1/2 the teams available) but there’s probably over 100 teams in active leagues that are abandoned.

A week away from the draft and we need one owner.

Our draft will be February 23rd at 9 PM Eastern.
FInding a day that worked for everyone was difficult but I went with the latest available date that everyone could draft. We had one team that could only draft on Friday and Sunday. Another team could do any day BUT Sunday. That left Friday nights (after 9 PM as the only option). I chose the Friday night that was closest to Opening Day since other owners had conflicts on 3/1, 3/8 and 3/15.
-
Last chance to get me dates that you CAN NOT make. I will go through the dates tomorrow morning and set the draft date and time.
I will also make the cuts for Backdoor Sliders at that point.
-
Good idea, I didn’t know the reason but it’s clear you can’t control the timing….

i apologize. I work in healthcare and on-call schedules create some tough work stretches where a lot of personnel things fall away. i'm going to get a co-manager to help fix this going fwd
-
I'm fine with it. Not enough of a competitive advantage for me to really care that much.
-
Sure
-
The weakest possible Ok due to missing the cut 60% of the time. Last time in my view.

I’m confused, they’re trying to cut players involved in pending trades?

No issues with the drops from my perspective.
-
Haha, good catch. I guess it is your trade.
-
Two of those players currently involved in a pending trade.
-
Fine with me. 3 in 5 is getting egregious though.
-
time the message was sent I am ok with doing this as long as everyone else is as well.

Backdoor Sliders messaged me last night at 1:07 AM-
'hye man, i got caught up at work. can i drop Bieber, tatis, marte, soderstrom, diaz, barlow?'
I'm going to put this up for a league vote as to whether we will allow this. I personally don't have a problem with it but this is the 3rd time in the last 5 years Backdoor has missed the cut deadline and asked me to make cuts. There is definitely a competitive advantage to waiting to see what cuts every other team has made but b

Time of the day/night is not a factor. Cannot draft on Feb 6, 14, 17 and 18
-
Draft Date Selection-
Please send me (via the message feature on the Otto site) any days and/or times you are NOT available to draft. As we've done in years past I will sort through all of the dates that people aren't available and pick a date that everyone can make. It looks like we only have a couple people who aren't in Eastern or Central time but I will not pick any Monday-Friday, during regular business hours (so 8AM-8 PM Eastern time) for any time zone people live in.

Still looking to trade some of these 1B. And I have some pitching on the block, too.

I'm all for it. Although then I might prefer "The Schneider Haus Rules"
-
Off The Schneid - you'll have to trade for Davis Schneider

Damn, Bumppo, that was a season for the ages! Come back down to earth next year, k? Thx.
-
New name, in honor of being off the schneid.
-
Thx guys, fun season for sure. Nice to not have lineups to work and to just sit back and enjoy the postseason now!

Congrats, Bumppo! You built an absolute juggernaut to which we are not worthy.

Lineup glitch hosed me out of 71 SP points from Ohtani. Bleh.
-
Thanks, Jailbirds...got myself signed up for that.

ZPZP, there is an Ottoneu Slack community as well you should check out where you can crowd source these sorts of questions. Lots of involvement there. Not sure how you join it. Maybe start here: https://community.ottoneu.com/t/ottoneu-on-slack/5774

You know what? I am also leaning Maeda. Boom, done!
-
I’d say Turnbull or Maeda. Leaning Maeda.
-
Posted this question in the community boards, and will post here for input. I need to cut one SP, all cost $1: Turnbull, Fujinami, Maeda, Houck. Thoughts?
Fujinami walked about one batter per inning in spring training; but also struck out one per inning and allowed very few hits. He is probably the most logical because the command is an issue carrying over from Japan, but the 99 MPH fastball and wipeout slider are so intriguing. #torn.
-
Something has come up in my schedule. I will not be able to attend the draft. I honorably accept my fate of picking off the scrap heap. Gonna be an epic rise from the ashes story. They’ll probably make an inspirational movie about it one day.
-
Thank you to everyone for getting me draft date restrictions. Are draft has been set for Tuesday night, March 21st at 8 PM.
-
Good decision
-
Fair enough, that is a tough call. I understand why nearness to the deadline is persuasive. I do not want to make a stink, because this is not a huge deal to me, but three minutes is enough time to process everyone else's cuts before deciding on your own. Glad Backdoor Sliders is returning, though, and not abandoned.
-
Backdoor Sliders messaged me at 12:03 (so 3 minutes after the cut deadline) saying he missed the deadline. I opted to honor his request to cut players with no penalty.

Evenings on the 5th, 10th,11th, 19th are not good for me

Please send me the dates via the Otto messenger. It’s way easier for me to keep track of!

As of now the only day that isn’t good is 3/12

Super cool response.

We’re not doing a Doodle. Please send me the dates you can’t draft. We’ve done it this way since I’ve been commissioner without a problem.

you mind doing a doodle survey for dates? might be helpful for everyone, thx

I am going to select a draft date soon.
Please send me a list of dates that you CAN NOT draft by Sunday so I can pick a date and time that everyone can make.
