Maybe we could honor him by placing him on the restricted list next to Ch*se Ut**y.

Kluber is worth $1 even when retired.

I have some good news RE: the draft
Corey Kluber has retired, thus sparing us all the agony of deciding whether or not to take a flier on him and hope for a rebound to a form somewhat resembling his far-away Cy Young seasons.
We can all now collectively shift our attention to Fernando Rodney's attempted comeback at age 46. Please budget at least $12 for him, as a responsible fantasy owner should.

Later is better for me as I'm not on the east coast. Do we need a doodle afterall?

I am flexible, probably can make anything work. Given that this is a mature league, a later start (9 pm) should not be too much of a problem since most of us can fill holes in the first hour. Raleigh had to miss last year, so let’s try to accommodate this year. 👍
-
After 9pm ET works best for me, generally any night. Mondays aren't great but I can hop in a few minutes late if Monday is the best for others.
-
Weekends would be much better for me. I'm very flexible on weekends. Weeknights will probably not work at all. But again, I understand if what works for everyone else won't work for me. The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few (or the one).

I'm pretty open on draft days/times that week. The week before I'm on a work trip so I'd be out.

for me, 7 est is too early. i'd prefer 9 if at all possible. weekends are really tough as youth sports will get in the way, massively.
-
Monday evenings would work best for me if it had to be during the week. Otherwise it needs to be after 7pm central during the week. Weekends can be pretty much anytime.

Yeah, since the conversation has started, we might as well get a sense of what does/doesn't work for people. I realize March is still a ways a way and things will happen in the interim, but what days/times WON'T work for you (at least that you already know about)? Opening Day is March 28, and I think I'd prefer closer to that day than further away, but I want to get everybody's opinions on this.

Whizzo, what other dates around that time work for you. Is it a weekday vs weekend issue? Is 7pm EST too early?

For the record, I won't be available to draft on March 14. If that works for everyone else, I will certainly understand, however. I serve as commish for other leagues, so I know it can sometimes be impossible to find a date that works for everyone.

Tony only signs for money. I used to use survey monkey for draft dates but honestly it proved just as easy to hash it on here. IMHO

I thought a doodle is what Tony LaRussa makes when they ask him to sign his DUI citation
-
Ahh, that’s right. I forgot. I figured Ottoneu gave us a default date and we needed to coordinate from the start.
Happy to just work from that and see where the conflicts may be.
-
Sorry about that. I guess there is only one Cicely Marmots in this league. I am fine with trying a scheduling tool, But should point out that smg already tossed out a very early tentative date of March 14 at 7pm (which is buried way back in this thread).
-
I thought Doodle was a Yankee app…..(rim shot)
-
Baseball is almost here, guys! As a White Sox fan, I’m pretty much committing all my baseball energy to fantasy. It’s my only shot at happiness this year.
Wondering if you all have tried Doodle or other online scheduling tools to coordinate draft times. If anyone has a subscription through work or something, I’d love to use Doodle this year.

[stomps feet] but I wanna get hit with massive salary cap penalties for cutting players after the deadline. [whines] No fair - It’s not fair!

Don't forget, today is the last day to tweak with your roster before the draft!

"Not even Cicely" lolololol
-
Just to be clear, the rosters are fully locked from February 1 until the draft. So no bidding, no cutting, and not even Cicely will be allowed to make any trades. And get yourself under 40 players and under $400 if you haven't already done so.

5 long days til cut day, fam! If any of you have last-minute holes to fill on your team before the draft and rightly know the best way to do that is to make a trade with the 11th place team from last year, check my trade block and shoot me a lowball offer!

Thank you kindly, Crimson. The Cicely Marmots are most honorable used player dealership in the entire Alaskan Rivera.
-
Cicely...thank you! I can now renew with confidence :) Those Marmots are good people, I say.
-
At least the $30 didn't vanish into some dude's private island fund :)
I'm getting psyched. Who wants to make a trade?
-
Ours was because due to the payment shift the pay by date was after week 9. We had two guys just flake, and because "we did not fill the league" no payouts. They refunded everybody $30.

I re-upped. Will let ya know if I see anything weird, but not terribly worried after reading the reply from Niv. @Monolith, I saw some threads about payouts not happening. Not great, hope he gets it sorted quickly.
-
FWIW, I did see the $2.95 fee listed in the terms. terms -> https://storage.googleapis.com/sdk-assets/Bank%20Terms/Bank%20-%20Paydala.html
I searched the Ottoneu community and found this post that says it's not a worry:
"This fee is for anyone who has a digital wallet on Paydala with a balance. Because of how we’ve implemented our integration, this is never true for Ottoneu customers."

I paid for FB with them and didn't have any issues. But from a comfort standpoint, never heard of them before vs Paypal which is used all over the place

I used to pay through PayPal, too. Not familiar with the new vendor. :/

I'm gonna have to look into that. I just got done going round and round with Niv about an issue we had in our FB league with winners not getting paid out.

I went to renew, but I stopped after reading something about a monthly inactivity fee. There was something in the terms that said you'll be charged a $2.95 fee each month if you don't make a financial transaction in 6 months. Did anybody else see this? The Strikes are holding out until this issue is resolved.

$20 to play in the league, but here in Cicely, the trades are always free and always unlimited! Stop by and visit our showroom today to test drive a 2023 Dansby Swanson and a like-new JT Realmuto! Your lineup is our #1 priority.

When reached for comment, the Marmots GM replied, "You'd think a guy named "Gore" would own at least one article of clothing that was GoreTEX, but he's a shorts and flip-flops kind of guy and that doesn't cut it here in the harsh Alaskan Riviera."
With affordable, young starting pitching in high demand, Stark believes there should be plenty of offers for Gore and suspects that Cicely will ask for an impact outfield bat in return. We’ll watch

DATELINE: CICELY, ALASKA
Jayson Stark of The Athletic is reporting that the Cicely Marmots GM has been entertaining offers for rising star MacKenzie Gore. The 24-year old former phenom is still lighting up the radar gun with a fastball averaging 95MPH, but apparently told his agent he hates living and playing in the small town of Cicely (population 215) in the borough of Arrowhead County.

My favorite movie scene was performed by the master thespian Margaret Mary Emily Anne (Meg) Ryan in the diner scene of the film noir classic "When Harry Met Sally..." when she excitedly and dramatically exclaimed, "YES YES YESSSSS!" which I can only surmise was her response to a fantasy baseball trade offer.
