I worry about that getting hard to manage. I think what we have now is good and can be unlucky for all 12 managers. I would be in favor of keeping it as is. But if others feel the same way, I would entertain thoughts.
-
Not sure if it’s possible but what do you guys think about having the option of one free drop before the draft begins. That way we can be protected from season ending injuries between. now and then. Seems to
be an issues every season.

I'll post another reminder on this message board. Cuts are due 11:59pm ET on Sunday night. Along with that, 5 teams still need to be renewed through Ottoneu or you risk losing the team. Please take care of those 2 things.
I'll send 1 last reminder this weekend.

LOL he's not even close! That's hilarious.

It looks like Scoop will fall short of the minimum IP of 460. He is at 406 right now. Am I reading this right?

I echo East Coast bias. I will get money out to people early next week. I wrote down how I recieved money from everyone so I'll just do that same way back. For reminder, we are going to pay out only 3 this year and it will be $500 for 1st, $300 for 2nd, $200 for 3rd. After the season, we will have to figure out the future. Stay tuned and good luck this weekend.
-
Looks like a two-team race heading into the last weekend. Good luck Scoop and Barney.
-
That works for me
-
I have no strong opinion on payout structure. Cool with whatever the majority decides - your proposal seems reasonable to me. Thx.
-
Alright. We are 3 days away from Opening Day. Reminder there are 2 games on Thursday this week and it kicks off strong for 2 months. MadMax and Vandelay have opted out and I will bench their players Wednesday. Otherwise we are looking at a pool for $1000 for the 10 guys left. I'm throwing out what people what people want to do for payouts? My proposal is 3 people get paid. $500 for 1st, $300 for 2nd, $200 for 3rd. Let me know what you 10 think.
-
Scoop said he is in. We are at 10/12. I just refunded Vandelay and Madmax their money back. I am locking their teams now. I'll give a final update probably the week before we start.
-
I'm waiting to hear back from Scoop. Right now if he's in, we have 10/12 guys staying in for the 60 game season. For some reason I do think we will get it started and I do think we will have a season, so hopefully I'm right. I'll give a final update and I will send back the two their money back. I'm hoping when normal comes back next year, you two want to come back.
-
I’m sorry as well. As more players are coming out not playing and the positive players coming out I’m going to agree with vandelay and not play the season and would like my money back. I just think the season is going to be to frustrating and I’ve lost desire. I’m sorry guys. Hope it works out for the rest of you. Thanks everybody for some fun times.
-
Sorry guys but im going to bail on this season and the league. After seeing all the positive cases and players saying they may sit out this season is going to be a complete fluke if it even happens at all. Ive completely lost interest in MLB and fantasy at this point. Please send my buyin back to me. Hope you guys can keep the league going. Good luck guys, its been fun.

So far, 8/12 are in. I ran this by Otto-Nudes before and he was down. Just waiting on Inglorious Bastardo, Scoop Jardine, Vandelay Industries, and Madmax.

I thought this plan out and want to not push people into playing. I think this 60 game season will be different, but still fun. I think it will work and I’m hoping all 11 others play. Please let me know what you think or want to add other ideas or plans cause I don’t want this to be a dictatorship, but I also feel like putting out a plan is part of my responsibility and it’s easier for everyone to follow. If you do want to commit or decommit, feel free to let me know on the message board.
-
You will be able to keep your team for next year and will pick up at arbitration and cuts. The thought behind this is if a team isn’t playing, they shouldn’t be able to be impacting potential pickups for guys that are playing. If Mike Trout is on a team that is choosing not to play this year, Mike Trout is locked on a bench for the year. That kind of sucks, but it also doesn’t affect the rest of the league by him going into free agency.
-
You have to indicate whether you are in or out. If you are in, everything is normal and I keep your $100 for a pool. Nothing really changes other than you are playing for 2 months instead of 6 months. If you vote no and are choosing to be out, I will give you back your $100. But I will take control of your team for the year, lock it, and have everyone on the bench for the year and your team will collect no stats in ottoneu. You will also not be allowed to pick up anyone for the year.
-
Sounds like we are going to get a season. I know no one here wanted 60 games, but we at least have some baseball. I am really hoping everyone wants to participate in these 60 games and we have a fun race to see who wins this year. I do understand there might be 1 or 2 people thinking they aren't sure or really don't want to. With that being said, we at least are in the benefit of being a roto league so if someone doesn't want to participate, it doesn't effect everyone. Here is my proposal:
-
I’m waiting to see if we do have a season and how we want to do this. I’m annoyed as well with mlb and also questioning what amount of games is worth what dollar amount. Let’s wait til the dust clears on what they will do and I’ll bring discussion back of what we want to do.
-
Im ready to get a refund on this league and retire from fantasy baseball. These negotiations have me extremely soured on MLB. If they play, this season is going to be bullshit

Hard to know what a contingency plan may look like when we don't know what the season will look like. I say we cross that bridge when there is a final decision. No reason to make a determination at this time.

Agree, I’m ok with whatever amount of games they give us. Got to believe we get a least a half season in.
-
My 2 cents is that we play it normal whether they get in 10 games or all of them. But if there is a majority who thinks otherwise, that is fine by me too. At this point, I am worried if there is even going to be a season...hope I'm wrong.
-
I’m saying, should we have or vote on a contingency plan in case the season is short, or too short to definitively determine a winner.
I’m cool too if everyone thinks that an abbreviated season is sufficient. Just bringing it up.
-
My gut is we start June 1 and play into October getting us 144 games. I’ve been wrong many times but that is my gut.
-
Should we begin to prepare for the possibility of a cancelled season? Or a season that contains too small a sample size whereby it would be irresponsible to count as a full season with full winnings.
-
Sounds good. Looking forward to it. Need something baseball related to cling to.
-
To clarify, we are still doing the draft Saturday night.
-
Everyone has paid so we are good to go whenever the season does start. I think we still do a draft Saturday night since we have all made time and we just hammer it out and be ready to go whenever the season opens up.
-
I was wondering if we should postpone the draft...I read that online groups greater then 10 people have a higher incidence of contracting the COVID-19 virus..also just paid
-
7/12 teams have paid.
-
Paid (via Paypal)

Reminder for draft night Saturday at 7 central time. I have collected fees from 4/12 teams so far. I would like to get those taken care of before the draft. Again I'll take paypal or venmo.
-
I have 3/12 so far. Good start. Like I said before, I would like them before the draft.
-
Paid (via Paypal)
-
Paid
-
$100

Can someone confirm the amount to send via paypal? Thanks.
