I can make whatever day work with enough notice. Have we reached out to Ivan and Snitker to get those teams filled?
-
The 20th would be best for me but I can do any of the proposed dates.
-
Yeah, I suppose I could do the 3rd.
-
I'll be camping the week of the 27th, and you never know what type of reception you will get. I would vote for the 20th, or if we want to be closer to opening day, maybe the weekend of 04/03?
-
Definitely. Looking at March 20th or 27th, assuming weekends are better for most. Let's hear it.
-
Baseball is back on the menu boys!!!!!!! The tentative opening day is set for 04/07. I'm not sure about everyone else, but I've got a busy March and April, so scheduling our draft day would be better to do sooner than later.
-
Send me a message if you want a penalty free cut.

The only way I see to accomplish trades as a commish is to cut the players involved, add them to the appropriate team, and adjust salaries as needed. It's quite a pain, and I personally wouldn't want to normalize it, but if there was some compelling reason, it could be done.

Not sure what’s possible, but could trades be unlocked to allow for further roster movement now that we have new owners? Also, any word yet from Ivan or Snit?
-
Definitely. For me personally, the lockout doesn't really change much about who I keep or cut, though I could see there being some fairly special circumstances with a player here or there. I want the new owners to get AT LEAST an equal chance to put their fingerprints on their new teams, but yeah. Everything is kind of just on hold for now, and then we can come up with a plan when we get some news re lockout.
-
Just my two cents - I'm okay with any special accommodations we seek this offseason due to not only the strike, but also having to replace a good portion of the league. I would just say that once baseball is back "on", and we have a draft, then things should go back to normal.
-
I will check with Ivan

Ivan seemed like he would if we didn't fill it but was fine with a replacement.
Kris - can you confirm with Ivan? He said Snitker was ATLinPHL on TC, are you able to directly contact through TC? Also, rajah said he has emails for the teams that were in from the TC league that folded if we wanted those contacts. Of course I don't have rajah's contact...
-
Do we know if Ivan and Snitker are coming back or do we need to fill their teams as well?
-
I'm in agreement with allowing penalty-free cuts until at least a week after we know when the season starts.

Welcome! Happy to have you. TBD on an exact date, but consider your cuts penalty free for now until we get more lockout news. If there is no news, let's tentatively call it 3/31. That would be about the same amount of time the existing owners had. But it is all up in the air thanks to the lockout.
-
Hello! New guy here (taking over the former SOLER WSMVP). How long do I have to review my roster and make cuts?
-
And we can discuss penalty free cuts for the rest of the league if we need to. I just cut everyone I wanted to by the original date, but I could be open to making cuts penalty-free league-wide if there's a strong enough desire for it.
-
They are automatically set up for penalty free cuts.
-
Are we going to ask the new owners for a list of players to cut penalty-free? Or does the league have a way of letting them do that by default?

Fantastic. My work here as assistant commissioner is done.

I sent out an email to the second guy today. Kris is now the owner of Bartolo's Colon. What a weird thing to type. So everyone welcome Kris! And the other guy will hopefully be taking over SOLER WSMVP soon.
-
Really sorry for not checking this for a while. Which player are we replacing with the second email address I was given?

By the way, disregard that draft date at the top. I had to update some league settings and it automatically set the draft for a week ago, which technically opened the draft. So I just set it for the day before the season starts to avoid any internal Ottoneu confusion, but that is just a dummy date.
-
DUF - Check your messages, I got the email for the second player from TC and sent it over to go with Kris.
-
Got another person on TC, probably worth going over there to grab emails. Sounds like the other league disbanded due to lack of participation.
-
I don’t see an email for him, maybe try a Twitter DM? Ivan sounded like he intended to renew, likely forgot.
-
Anybody have an email address for Kris? If so I can send him an email to see which team he wants to inherit. I know Ivan wasn't super into it but maybe he'd want to run some kind of experiment with his team again?
-
Ivan sounded like he wanted back in - do we have an email for him to make that happen? If not I'm sure he'd respond on TC. I don't remember Snitker wanting out either if we can reach out there. If both of those are still in we'd only have one other opening, but I'm out of options other than the Ottoneu boards. I think there is a bit of Ottoneu presence on Twitter/reddit but not sure how active.
-
We got one hit, Kris Willis. Guessing we’ll need to go to the Ottoneu boards to find more owners?
-
I just added a Fanpost on TC, we'll see if we get any bites for the two empty teams.
-
Looks like Ivan’s team and Snitker both have no manager as well, so we probably need to see if either of them want their team back as well.
-
Gotcha. I checked with my friend group again, and no interest. Sorry all. I'm down for whatever with cuts. I'm still planning on using 02/15 as the keeper deadline. Most of my players are no FAs, so making cut decisions isn't that impactful.
-
We replaced Spicy, but Soler wanted out and Bartolo wanted out if we could find a replacement.
-
Am I misremembering, but didn't we already replace teams at the end of the season? Do we have new vacant teams?
-
Maybe you can just allow the penalty free cuts for newly claimed teams per this post, which is fine by me: https://community.ottoneu.com/t/allowing-cuts-after-roster-locks/7304
-
And the second round of cuts may be tricky. I'm open to the idea, though. As long as everyone has the same intel and opportunity to do what they want, then it shouldn't hurt. I or KMDS would have to probably manually remove the player from whichever roster, but that's not very difficult. We'd just need to come up with a framework that is simple and foolproof - I'd like the limits to be rigid enough that the primary cuts still matter more.
-
Definitely want to fill any vacant teams. Anyone able to post something on TC over the next couple days? I've had some work changes and I'm not able to be quite as active/present over there, sadly. If there's interest, just shoot me a DM here and I can get them set up with Ottoneu.
-
I think we need to...might be difficult with folks paying less attention during the lockout. Have we tried posting to the TC boards? I know you can through ottoneu but may want to start with TC. I'd like the idea of a second round of cuts if it isn't too difficult on the commissioners. We'd need to set some parameters, limit the number of cuts per team or something though to prevent everyone just waiting until round 2. Really only affects FAs and borderline starters.
-
Are we planning to fill the empty teams? Also, any thoughts on a second round of cuts penalty-free after the lockout ends?
-
I’m taking offers on my most expensive guys (Gerrit Cole, Jose Ramirez, Trevor Story, pretty much everyone) to help me make keeper decisions. Let’s get some trades going!
-
I have renewed as well. Keeper deadline is less than three weeks away. Hope everybody's ready to make some cuts.

Lord jesus I almost forgot too. Yes thank you for the heads up. Pretty sure I just cut everyone early because I knew I would forget.
-
I appreciate that post...I'd have missed it completely since keeper deadline was pushed back.
-
Same, and thanks for the reminder. Really hoping this CBA gets done and we can start seeing where FAs are going to land. Would be nice to know before our keeper deadline.

Almost forgot to renew my membership

Note to WOBA and WPHGP. You have to allocate all your arbitration $ and allocate from $1-3 to each team. If you do not, none of your allocations will count.

Reminder all. Arbitration ends soon.

What are the plans to fill the two new owner slots?

Quick reminder now that the World Series excitement is over. 9 days left for arbitration.
