I changed the league password to get Rob over to the new team. Password is ItsAllPipes. Let me know if you have any issues.
Also, for some reason when I did that, it updated the draft date in the settings. Obviously still under discussion, so no harm done. Doesn't actually start until we start it. 3/14 evening works for me, or either of the following Sunday evenings. From what I can tell, opening day is 4/1 and there aren't any wonky early games to push the schedule up.
-
Obviously we need to nail down the new members, but when are we thinking for the draft? I'm getting antsy

Create an Ottoneu profile and text me at 713-294-8839 so I can assign you the team. Toby - I’m fine with your guy having the next available team unless somebody else was already in line.

Rob here. I'm down to step in and take the team. Assign me over if you can, or let me know what I need to do on my end to get it going. Thanks.

Thanks guys. I will talk w/Rob and see how we determine who gets Newman and who moves on. In depos today, but will get back to you as soon as I can.

Newmen guys: speak now or hold your peace. If you want the team, create an Ottoneu ID so I can assign it to you.

He wants to play. Let me know if you guys want to split off into 2 teams.
-
I’m inclined to have one of the Newmen have first dibs.

He is interested. I can send him the rules and the roster if it's cool with everyone. He'll be active for sure.
-
I just emailed a guy in my football league asking him if he was interested. I'll let everyone know what he says.
-
We’re still operating a two owner team at Team Newman, so we could definitely split up and one of us could take over the vacant team.

Looks like we're in need of an owner for Doods?

That day works. Could we do it at 7pm central? I need to wake up 330 Monday morning. Thanks

I’ll suggest Sunday the 14th at 8:00 central.

Hey, can we set a draft date sometime soon? My social calendar is filling up... haha jk where am I going in a pandemic

Yeah I believe numbers aren’t changed until the trade actually goes through, not just when agreed. I guess because they could be vetoed.
-
Ah, I see that now. This is the first time i realized that the cap space listed is only the teams' cap space at the time of trade
-
Nope, I’m good. Made a couple cuts after that trade

So Serenity is still gonna be 29$ over the cap... no?
-
Anyone want to talk trade out there? Too quiet of a deadline. Bryant, severino, Gallo, and others still available...

Did they change the layout? I cant find the page where you see the every team's overall info on one page. LIke cap space, roster space, etc. for each team. Anyone know how/where to find it or is it gone?

Gotcha, I very well may have missed it. Obviously not against it, its just more of a moral/principle dissent haha. Seems so ridiculous, especially in a cheaper league for people to give yall so much trouble. I get that things come up and/or people forget, but it shouldnt be so consistent. Hopefully the turnover will help in that regard. You me and Steve have been affected the most by it so you can't say im biased lol.

I believe that we did, though it was a while ago. If not, I think we should. It's always a heinous process. We have consistently tried to get everyone top of it and it never happens. I recall I calculated that it costs us about $30-35 total in prize money, which is more than covered by the additional $5 dollars everyone pays in. This seems like a no-brainer to me and easier for everyone (especially Steve and I).
-
did we formally vote on that? I know it can be a beating to collect, but if we all just get it done, we dont have to sacrifice any pool money and pay more to do so. theres really no reason we shouldnt be able to do this. i know everyone doesnt know everyone, but if we all just get on the ball and set a deadline for payment before the draft, itll be done and over with

I paid the $20 yesterday.
-
I'm going to reach out to Niv to see what can be done, but it may be that if you already paid, you'll either pay more or, more likely, get a refund and have to do it again. Just a heads up.
-
Hey everyone, just wanted to check who has already reupped this league. I wasn't expecting anyone to have already done so and as was going to switch this to the $75 level league as we discussed before last season. This will account for our normal entry fee and make it so that Steve and I don't have to bother with collecting and distributing money.
-
James Paxton can be yours and he only costs $14. Could use bullpen and outfield.

Dunno if people know this in this league, but Niv moved the renewal date to the same day as the cut deadline, so the end of january. Maybe he did that last year? But I always remembered it as being 2 weeks after the cut deadline. So Just a heads up so no one forgets to pay and loses their team.
-
Anyone looking to make some deals? Open for business. Sent out a batch of offers like 3 weeks ago but most of them haven’t been looked at 😅

Two more days to do arbitration!

just kidding, we cant trade. So thats awkward
-
So i know we are all in football mode and kinda at a bit of a lull in the arbitration stage, but anyone want to like make some trades and stuff. Could be fun. I am trying to blow up a bit of my team (not my young guys before you get all buckwild), so id like to find some fun people who want to get down as well
-
I agree, keep as is. Maybe just give me a 50 point head start.

Agreed with the sentiments below. I think we should proceed as normal.
-
Ottoneu is meant to mimic real life baseball team management. This past season counted as a full season, we should proceed as usual.

This isnt a dynasty league, and arbitration (plus 2$ salary increases, which i assume are also on the chopping block) is the best tool for creating better league parity over time
Hoiles' Heroes on

There will essentially be no draft without arbitration, as few players will not be worth cutting. I think thats a bad idea.
Hoiles' Heroes on

Folks: a couple owners have suggested that arbitration would be excessive given the short year and lack of data to base allocations on. Pipe up if you have an opinion. I’ll vote for arb as usual.

All these double-headers creates a true test of Managerial intuition and discernment. It’s truly no wonder I’m in first place.

And sorry to see that another league-mate was stuck doing billables last night. That’s what I was doing as well.

Not many trades but lots of talk. Everyone seems interested to me, it’s just hard to gauge rosters from now aside from the obvious: mine is the best.
