Hey Everyone - I made a commish mistake in reconsidering the draft date. Once the date was set people made plans. The draft is a huge deal, so I want to take every step I can take to accommodate people. However, I want to be fair to those that made plans around the initial date. As such, we are going to leave as is, 4/2 starting at 8:30 EST. Cutter has asked if we could move it later. I will throw this out - does anyone have an issue with moving it to 9:30 EST? It typically lasts 2.5 hrs.
-
Just realizing trades are locked out. Boooo!
-
Dang new Wilmer, I would’ve given you something for Flores
-
Don't move the draft. I arranged my draft schedules in 3 other leagues and my work schedule to make this time. I CAN NOT make the 27th
-
Great! Full disclosure -- the new owner is a friend.
-
One team left to go! Welcome to the new owner of LaPorta Potties
-
LaPorta Potties and Flowers by Wilmer
-
What teams are open?
-
We need two owners so we are in pretty good shape compared to some others - however, we have needed to fill those spots for 7 weeks now. I have reached out ot a few people that posted looking for teams but no luck as of yet.
-
How are we on filling the teams?
-
I am fine moving it to the 27th. With the people that participated in the poll, that date also worked. However, if we move it to the 27th, we'll have to make a final call on Thursday this week if we don't fill back up to 14. I am fine with that, but that would be the one caveat of moving the date.
-
I absolutely can't do the 2nd, as noted in the scheduling app. Don't want to be "that guy", but I'd obviously prefer to be able to draft lol. I am available the 27th.

Sorry - the date is Sat. April 2nd. We could also do Sunday, March 27th, but I would prefer to give us the extra 6 days to try to fill up the league.
-
Also, when is the draft date/time?
-
Quick Questions:
1. Did we advertise on the Otto Slack Channel?
2. Can I help get people in?
-
1. I'm an idiot, of course you have to claim a team rather than join a league.
2. I agree: leave them open, see if they get claimed, and roll with whatever comes up. Neither team is in particularly great shape, so we may not get two owners, but it would be good to have them, and then see next offseason if anyone is planning on not renewing/we want to winnow down.
-
Quick note - I tried to mark both as "Abandon" but it wouldn't let me since both are expired. Regardless, anyone can claim them if they go to the "Claim a Team" tab - they both show up under expired teams.
-
After thinking about it, I agree with 8-Ball. At the very least, I would want another free cut round for everybody, but I’d prefer any changes to number of owners be planned well ahead of time.
-
If you go to claim teams they are both their available to claim. I will mark them as abandon this morning and see if that helps. Regarding the 12 vs. 14 teams, I get what 8-Ball is saying and don't disagree with it. However, if we can't get them claimed we'll be in that boat anyways. We'll give it until next weekend and then make a call. Thanks!
-
I am against 12 teams, it changes the value prop for players significantly; more high-quality players per team are available, so those players are worth less now, which jacks people up, especially since they can't cut their now-overvalued players.
-
I think teams may need to be abandoned to show up on availavle tab.

I'm easy on team numbers. I'll note, though, that a friend was trying to join today and can't find the league under the "Join Teams" tab. I just checked myself, and we're not there, which may explain the lack of new owners.
-
I would also support a 12 team league. Can't see draft date/time though – checked settings and it's still TBD. Am I missing something?

Also onboard with going with 12 teams
-
I would support moving to 12 teams.

There is one issue I would like to get some input on. We currently have 12 owners and 2 open teams. With the late start and the lockout, I am not surprised that there are still openings. With that being said, looking at the available teams, there is significantly more this time of year than usual. We do have the option of reducing the number of teams to 12 (standard league size). I continue to reach out to owners as I see them. However, what is everyone's opinion on this?
-
Hey Everyone - I have set the draft time based on everyone's input and the date that worked best for most people.
-
If so, you can make my tuesdays a yes as well if you don’t mind starting 10 minutes late
-
Just confirming that’s 8 PM Eastern, yeah?

Sorry, disregard that last message – got sent to spam

I haven't seen an email come through – let me know if I missed it. My fantasy football league this year used when2meet.com to schedule our draft and it was really easy. Just a thought!

Hey Everyone - With the lockout over, let's get a draft date booked. I will get an email out to everyone in the next 10 minutes or so to coordinate a draft time. We still have a couple of openings (it has been slow going with the lockout). If you have anyone interested, have them snatch up the spots quickly.
-
Sounds good - thanks Capa!

A couple of quick updates - first, I don't anticipate any issues filling the remaining two spots. Since football is over I think fantasy baseball will start to heat up. Of course, that also depends on the lockout. On the issue of the lock out and our draft, my preference would be to wait until there is a resolution with the lockout to set a draft time. My assumption is when the lockout is settled, will still have 30+ days prior to the season beginning. Plenty of time to set a draft date.
-
Whoa! Is Oscarville a new owner or just a deadline person!? I wanted that Manaea
-
It is final day for penalty-free keeper cuts. Happy cutting.
-
As of this morning, we have 11 of 14 teams renewed for next year. One team is already open. Potentially we have two more open slots. If you know of anyone interested in one of those teams, please let me know. Otherwise, I have little doubt they will get filled prior to draft time.
-
Four days remain to renew your team (for the few owners who have not yet). End of day on Saturday is your deadline. After that deadline, teams not renewed will be abandoned.
-
Folks, I’ve still got a catcher and closer glut — get at me if you need either!
-
Man Shoop, do you have dirt on these guys or something? You made out like a bandit on those last two trades
-
I actually abandon the team (my mistake), so I don't have control over who claims it. If you have someone that wants to claim it, send them to this link: https://ottoneu.fangraphs.com/claimteams and have them claim the team. Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks!
-
Hey Capa, I have a friend who is interested in the vacant team. How should he get in touch?
-
You're a prince
-
Done - just a reminder, I have a roughly 10 minute rule - I will cancel any trade if one of the parties let me know within roughly 10 minutes. Thanks
-
Hey commish, can I get that Lowe-Garcia trade cancelled? It was a misclick on my part
-
Boot him--sooner the better as the hot stove fantasy baseball is heating up.
-
I will mark the team as abandoned - thanks for pointing this out. I will give people in the league a few days to bring forward any owner before I start seriously looking. Let me know if you have anyone interested.
-
I would say it is time to look for a new owner

Should we maybe abandon the Wilmer team so we can get a new manager? They haven't been on since August.

Wonderful to see things stirring here again. I just threw a big pile of guys on my trade block that I'm on the fence about keeping -- be in touch if you've got interest in any of them.
