Everyone calm down. I made the decision to allow it for two reasons:
1. The keeper date is the cut deadline. It isn’t implied, it’s real. The request came before that deadline. I ensured the salary was correct.
2. No one else was negatively impacted. No one made any keep or cut decisions based on the availability or lack thereof of Colt Keith.
Hit my DMs if you feel a need to discuss further.
-
I think this would be different than in season situation though but the precedent should be set for everyone
-
The rules note the ability to trade or cut, not add, and from what I’ve seen there is no date when cuts are “final”, which implies they are final when they are made as there is no action to retract them, in-season or otherwise. If he was dropped in-season and suddenly promoted would we allow a re-add? From a roster management perspective there is no difference. It’s the same as rescinding a trade due to injury. At the very least this should’ve been a question posed to the league.
-
Yes, I wanted him back because of the extension but because apparently cuts aren’t final till the deadline I can get him back. I’m not trying to get an unfair but playing the game. What kind of owner would I be if I don’t keep track of these things?
-
Apparently, cuts aren’t final till the deadline.
-
Take it easy. All I did was ask accusations are unwarranted.
-
I’ll just weigh in to say it’s against the spirit of the rule if not the letter. No other situation in the league allows for a cut to be rescinded and the manager made the choice to cut early before all potential information was available. They had equal opportunity to wait until tomorrow night to decide the cuts, their hand was in no way forced.
Also, agreed with Jobu, this is becoming a pattern.
-
I had totally forgotten about the player's extension when I posted that it was not against the rules, and I'm trying to decide if that changes how I feel about this. If it was any other owner, probably not.
Commissioners, you have to be aware that there is one owner that consistently pushes the envelope in what appears to be an attempt to gain an unfair advantage. Doing this without a communication feels like the worst part. The rules don't say it's allowed, they are silent to
-
I was surprised too but I guess the rules says you can. Good to know
-
Yeah, it doesn’t feel fair to me because the extension came in between. This wasn’t an accidental cut. Some news changed the valuation. Those are the breaks if you make cuts early.
-
Just read the rules, and nothing says the cuts are final. It's kind of implied since there is no method to add them back without commissioner action, but it's not "against" the rules as written. I agree it is not a hill I'm willing to die on, but I wanted to make sure that everyone was aware this is an option. I'm not going to use it, but others may.
-
Umm, feels like a weird precedent. Not a hill I'm willing to die on, but this seems like it shouldn't be allowed.

So yes it should be for everyone. You never know till you ask
-
I had cut him before and asked if it was ok if I can add him back. Was told since we are still before the deadline it’s allowed
-
How was Colleen's Husband able to add a player? I'm assuming that was a commissioner action to undo the cut? Is that option available for everyone else?
-
The keeper deadline and renewal date are both Wednesday 31 Jan. Make your cuts and pay your dues!
-
One week left for cuts!

Just a reminder for the new year. 3 weeks left to cut your players pre-draft.

I think we generally have drafted in later March, just before opening day. I’ll crowd source some dates/times closer to then. As for draft format, it’s a live auction and generally takes 1-3 hours since most rosters are already at least half full.
-
What's the draft situation for this league? Do we do a live draft (over one or two days)? Any thoughts/plans yet?

All the activity is great! 4 new owners with teams they didn’t help create will lead to that
-
I inherited this team. I wasn't happy with a good bit of the players, so I'm just trying to get a little better. Plus, I'm new to Ottoneu, so I could be doing a bunch of stupid stuff. Might as well have a little fun with it. If you ain't first your last.

The fans of "It's the way she goes boys" are not complaining about having a boring off-season.

Final team is claimed!
-
All the new owners came from the Battery Power board
-
Yes, there is still one opening for Probably Going to Finish Last
-
Thanks all! Very excited to join and try a new type of league. And it may be obvious from the team name but I am indeed a Braves fan so we're still in good hands.

Do we still have an opening? I have someone who might be interested.
-
Welcome new folks! Glad to have you!
-
Welcome new owners! It's entirely possible this league is no longer dominated by Braves fans, but that's okay - Talking Chop already changed to Battery Power, nothing stays the same forever.
-
And third one took over we’ll probably have cap space. Welcome new owners and thanks for joining us! I’ll post tomorrow to see if I can get probably going to finish last claimed to get us all set for next year.
-
Second one taking over Bartolo’s Colon, waiting on the third to choose their team. Then we’ll only have one opening left!
-
I have three new owners incoming, first is taking over I’ll Rename it Later
-
Arb reminder, looks like three teams left: Marg Sabol, Bartolo’s Colon, and We’ll Probably Have Cap Space. I know two of those three teams have owners that are leaving, so not sure if they’re still around enough to complete this task as I continue to search for owners
-
I’ve gotten absolutely nothing in the slack or community board, so yes please stay on for arb if possible
-
I'm here for it...and I do think every team placing arb is super critical. The nice thing is that there are always willing proxies on Slack or in the forums to help out.
-
I'm in favor of as much arb as we can accomplish. If you're around and can do it, your replacement will certainly appreciate that you did it rather than giving their opponents an advantage.

If you want me to stay for arb on my squad just let me know commish!
-
I’m getting radio silence on the Slack and the community board. Does anyone have any friends of friends who would want to take over a team? We have 4 slots to fill.
-
This is a good group. I hope we can keep it going
-
I posted on both the Ottoneu community site and Slack to look for new owners, hopefully will get some traction
-
Making this comment to ping everyone. Reminder, Arbitration is active and open until 11/14.
-
I'm still in. After a season of re-build, I'm excited to see my slew of rookie prospects develop into a strong team.
-
Thanks all! I’ve sent DMs to Marg Sabol, Cap Space, and Murphy’s Law but so far three replacements needed. I’ll make a post end of week to see if we can find replacements from the website formerly known as Talking Chop, now masquerading as an off brand battery store. If that doesn’t work, I’ll hit up the Ottoneu boards.
-
I plan to keep going. Good Job WOBA, you kinda lapped us
-
I plan to continue.
-
Good season all. I will continue next year too
-
I plan to continue next year.
-
Congrats WOBA, I couldn't keep up with your powerhouse of a team in the 2nd half. I plan to be back next year!
-
I'm not planning on returning next year. It was fun but I don't have the time to do it right now.
