Also 9 can draft on the 1st, which is the next best day. If you originally said no to any of those days but think you could make it works please message me! Thanks.
-
Everyone has now responded to the doodle, thanks! Unfortunately no single day is good for everyone. 11 managers can draft on the 18th, and 10 can draft on the 25th. I am going to reach out to people individually to see if we can make one of those times work.

what was he doing coming to spring training with his wrist apparently already hurting?? Should have gotten that surgery months ago! Well, I'm sure you'll be fine Equipo. Though, if you want to talk we can talk.
-
Spring Training is barely underway and I am already down Acuna and Tatis!! Better jump on me early fellas.
-
Thank you to the 8 of you who have responded so quickly to the poll. We are honing in on this Friday for the draft day. It is so far the only day that works for everyone. I'll give the rest of the league more time to respond though and we'll see where we're at tomorrow.
-
Punny, good point. Here is more poll info
Right now I am trying to find a day that works, so I set between 8 and 10 PM Eastern Time. Once we find a day that works for everyone we can nail down the exact start time. So please just select the day that a draft will work for you between 8 and 10 PM Eastern. If this time is never good for you please message me asap.
-
Yo what time zone are the choices in the poll? Thx
-
THE DRAFT POLL:

is only to decide what time the draft starts. I am guessing it will last about 2 hours, but could go on for 3 hours.

ALSO -- The date I changed it to for the league is JUST A FILLER for now. Not the official time. THIS POLL WILL BE USED TO FIND THE OFFICIAL TIME.
ALSO -- REMINDER! We voted last year to change the SP rules so that there is a 10 start cap per H2H week! THIS RULE IS NOW IN EFFECT.

Welcome to the league, Rushmore Bottle Rockets! Happy to have you!
NOW WE HAVE A FULL LEAGUE! AW, YEAH! BASEBALL!
Next order of business will be to schedule the online draft. I will make a scheduling poll so we can find a time that works best for everyone.

...and I'll work on my roster cuts π

Morning everyone! I just picked up the Romantics and look forward to (hopefully) more than doubling their win total this year! π€£
I've played fantasy ball in some way shape or form for 20 years. Early on I had to call in my transactions and leave them on voicemail and results and standings were sent by mail. Like, with a stamp. Most recently I was co-commissioner of a 28 team dynasty league.
Give me a few minutes to get coffee and the kids off to school and I'll work o

Welcome to the league, Yada Yada Yada!
-
Baseball is back! I have posted another add in the community board! Hopefully we can fill those two manager spots soon and then schedule the draft!
-
Baseball is alive again! Excited to fill the last couple openings and get our draft scheduled
-
Padres! So hot right now.
-
Padres and whoever is playing the Dodgers!
-
Go Yanks.
-
boooo more like Chi Sux amiright
-
Dyed in the wool (feathers?) Cards fan. Though I follow the White Sox pretty closely since I moved to Chicago.
-
All Padres, all the time.
-
What real life MLB teams do you all root for? I'm a Twins fan here.
-
Welcome to the league! And yes, as you have seen you have a round of free cuts. I am working to fill the last two slots still! I am hopeful that once baseball resumes there will be renewed interest.
-
Thanks! I have the option of one round of cuts, which I'm going to make ASAP. The team was left in pretty good shape, so it won't be a ton but will definitely be adding a few players back to the pool. Excited to be here. Seems like a great group.

Welcome Luke, you definitely picked the right team to take over; good to have you.

Welcome to the league Luke! Happy to have you. Commish - correct me if Iβm wrong, but I believe that anyone who takes over an abandoned team is allowed one batch of penalty free cuts even if itβs after the keeper deadline?
-
Hey everyone - My name is Luke and I just took over PlushWins. Was skeptical of joining a new league after the cut deadline and this one looked like a good fit. Hope the other two spots fill and looking forward to the draft (and hopefully a full season). Going to change the team name to make it my own, so Iβll let yβall know what I decide soon.

yeah, that makes sense. It is sort of a down moment for baseball right now in general. Okay, let's wait and see how it shakes out and I'll keep advertising.
-
I agree with that. Once the lockout is over we should have more interest in filling the openings
-
Yes, I am in. I think that as we get closer to the MLB season becoming a reality interest in fantasy baseball will increase and we should be able to find players willing to step in. I am keeping my fingers crossed.

well rather than gaining a new manager, two more managers left the league. Is everyone currently here still interested in another season? I will try to find three managers but given the difficulty in even finding one manager I'm not sure how that'll go. Please DM me now if you'd like to play this year so I can get a head count.
-
Don't forget, keeper deadline is in two weeks! Also I have marked New Haven as abandoned and advertised for it on the message boards. But still if any of you have a friend who's interested that would be the best scenario!
-
No thanks. This league already provides all the enjoyment Iβm looking for out of it. Plus if I ever do find myself a little bored I can always just look at that shiny first place trophy sitting nicely on my team page
-
Better yet letβs have a side pot you and I about who finishes higher in the standings

I am in some of the most active leagues on ON. Leagues where we have dialogue 365 days a year. 32 trades in a 72 hour period and 11 consecutive trades with at least one trade. I appreciate you being a keyboard warrior though I will look forward to your team being below mine in the final standings

Sounds like you should leave then. Iβd say itβs pretty normal for leagues to be quiet right now until after the offseason draft. The guys Iβm keeping I donβt want to trade and the guys Iβm cutting are being cut for a reason. Once the draft happens, you can see what areas of weakness you still have and then trades will happen to address those. But if it hurts your feelings that no one wants to play in the sandbox the way you specifically want then feel free to leave and weβll happily replace you
-
Was undecided at the time about coming back along with the other 6 teams. And so inactive that this team will finish higher than your quality team this year. How many off season moves has this league made? How much dialogue have we had amongst owners? If Iβm going to be playing with boring owners I at least want to play for money so I have something to play for. If you guys were active I would at least be excited for the trash talk and healthy banter

Kind of funny that a guy who didnβt allocate their arbitration dollars is bitching about the league not being active enough for his liking
-
honestly im probably out of this league if we are not playing for money. This league hasn't really shown much of activity for me to just do it "for fun"

Not this year, no. There were a number of managers who wanted to keep it at 20 so in the interest of simplicity I am going to leave it at that for now, we can revisit this for next year. But there was some interest in a side pot for those who wanted to raise it to 50. I can help manage that. So if you're interested let me know via DM. It'd be 30 dollars buy-in, with first place (of the side pot) getting most of it, second place getting their 30 back.
-
Are we raising to $50

Okay so the weekend has come and gone, New Haven is definitely out and now Cruz Control just indicated he was out. So PUK with your brother in law we are still one person short. I will advertise on the message boards but if anyone has another friend they want to bring in let me know!
-
Hey guys I will not be able to play this season so sorry. Something came up and I cannot play.
-
Also, everyone please make sure to re-up your payments for the league by Jan 31. You can do on the Ottoneu dashboard with the link "extend your dynasty"
-
FYI the lockout has impacted our league. Keeper deadline has been pushed back to Feb. 15 for now.
-
Good news! PlushWins is in! Still haven't heard from New Haven, so PUK it is likely your brother in law will be taking over that team but I'll let you know for sure Saturday.
-
I have messaged PlushWins and New Haven Romantics, giving them until this Friday to express interest in a new season. If I don't hear from them I will mark their teams as abandoned at that point. PUK thank you for talking with your brother in law!
-
alright there has been some interest in raising the buy-in, but also some push back. I think for now then we should leave it as it is. One manager had a good point which is that we should see if we can get more consistent involvement in the league before we ask people to pay 50 or more dollars to play.
-
we have like two weeks to figure this out

Iβm alive! I just spoke with my brother in law and heβd like to play. Heβll be new to Ottoneu, but not to fantasy baseball
