Nobody picked up Z Greinke for $1, surprised. (myself included)

Scherzer is available.

The Schwindelers just cut Frank Schwindel. Hmm... The Goldschmidts doesn't sound right.

looks like it may be time to change the team name. AAA

Welcome to the league, LG Sox!

I dropped those players for the LG Sox to have.
-
well, i screwed that up
-
I don't think we should wait a week and should try and replace him now. If he saw the emails about your messages, he's seeing these emails about message board posts too and knows we want him to show up.
-
The only way to do that would be to add another manager to the team but it can't be anyone that is already a manager in this league. There is not a specific Commissioner tool that allows me to enter line-ups for another team in the league.
-
Is it possible to move his players into an active daily lineup? That team is currently stuck on zero, which will make it hard, if not impossible, to attract a new owner.

FYI...just sent a further follow-up message to LG Sox. My last couple still show as not being read, though that doesn't always mean anything because you can usually read the messages in the email alerts the system sends out. He has not been on the system since March 29. I've given him until April 20 to get back to me or I will be contacting Ottoneu support about having his team deemed abandoned. Technically, I can do it now but want to check with support since he paid for the team.
-
Yeah, I don’t think LG is coming back.

Any news on LG Sox?
-
yea agreed, fine with whatever is decided. expansion draft probably makes sense.
-
Agreed that we should get LGs team figured out. I’m open to some sort of expansion draft if that’s the direction we want to go to entice a new manager.
-
Hi...I was out all day today and am just now getting a chance to read everything. FWIW, yes LG did apparently sign in on March 29 but then did not do anything. I sent him a message after seeing that he signed in on March 29 and have not received a response.
-
Do you think it would help if we had the 11 existing teams put up 4 or 5 unprotected players, but the new team could only pick one? This might make available some better-than-dregs players.

I suppose I hear you on the "doesn't stand a chance" item, but I don't think a manager getting everyone's dregs changes that equation - looking at my roster, I'd actually be pretty excited to get a penalty-free cut on a couple of them lol. I think it's an extra step that adds complexity and doesn't really help the desired outcome of balance. Seems like theirs support and I won't fight it too much, though - a full, active league is the priority! And I appreciate you bringing this up, SF
-
Point taken, but LG doesn't have a chance with only FAs. Obviously whatever the commish/league consensus decides, but this kind of imbalance can really throw off the dynamics of a league.

I've been in a lot of leagues with an absentee manager, unfortunately, and personally I think the free season is enough. I took over for a team last season post-draft in the week before the seasons started and won that league... I am not saying that to brag, promise, more that it is very possible to be active and build a competitive team in-season. LG can nearly field a full team and the wire is about as good as the worst 3-4 I would offer, I say we just offer the free season
-
I hear you SF, I'm okay with making 3-4 available, but I was saying maybe everybody loses exactly one, the rest he can fill out from waiver wire which should be fine... but I realize it's nitpicking, I'm cool with whatever is decided
-
Didn’t he sign in on March 29?

The idea isn't to take a bunch of your players, but to incentivize someone to take over LG Sox and to balance the league a bit. If we make one guy available then there will be slim pickings. If we offer up, say 4, then your worst exposure is losing 2 players. I guess a compromise could be making 2 players (one hitter, one pitcher) available and you could lose a maximum of 1.

I appreciate the effort to come up with a solution, I don't think it's ideal but I can't really think of a better alternative. Only thing I suggest is to maybe limit it to just one player from each team, that way no one will be affected more than the others. That gives the new owner 33 players, and he can fill out the rest with FA.
-
Looking at his team he is good on Catching. So nobody would risk losing their catcher.

My only question is, what if everyone simply makes their rp available? That would not be fair to the new guy. Maybe everyone should put up 1 sp, 1 rp, 1 in, 1 of ???

Would be willing to do whatever is needed to level out the league. There may be better ideas but was SF suggested sounds fine to me.
-
expansion team picks one of your players, you then get to remove, or “protect”, one of the remaining “unprotected” players on your list. Once the expansion team runs out of money or roster spots, then the draft is over. Maybe MiLB & 60IL players should be excluded from consideration…I don’t know. We could do all the selections via trade, where you send the chosen player in exchange for nothing. Open to ideas… 2/2

We should find out what's up with LG Sox. It sucks for both his team and our league that he bagged the draft, but Opening Day is upon us so we need to figure this out. I'd propose--assuming LG doesn't come back--that we get a replacement manager by offering a free season and the promise of a kind of expansion draft. In broad strokes, each of the 11 other teams make 3-4 players available to the new manager, who can draft them for the price the original owner paid. And then, if the 1/2

Did LG Sox check in after the draft? He currently only has 22 players - some of whom I'd like to trade for, but that's another story lol

If anyone ne might be looking for a H2H Fangraphs points league, one team's owner had to back out of the drat that is scheduled for tomorrow at 6 pm Eastern due to an emergency. Team is in pretty good shape. League is going into it's 5 the year. Team has been paid for already so it's FREE to pick up but please be ready to manage the team, including tomorrow's draft.
