I would request NOT the first weekend of March Madness.
-
I could be available either way. My preference for a weekend would be dependent on how many bay area folks would be interested in getting together in person (Bay Area folks?)
-
We're looking at weekend dates for the draft? Or are we thinking during the week? I would prefer a weekend (Friday evening until Sunday) but understand if that may not be feasible for everyone.

OUT OF COUNTRY FOR WORK - March 20th -26th
-
So far March 20th is a no go for me
-
FYI - I'm going to look to schedule the draft sometime in March in the hopes that the regular season starts on time or with minimal delay. Please let me know if any dates are a hard no for you. If a regular season delay of significance becomes apparent, we can reconsider the draft date. Latest news from Ottoneu is that they're holding the 2/15 keeper deadline. Of course, it sounds like today's MLB/MLBPA negotiations were a complete bust
-
Just one. I messaged with him yesterday and he was going to get it taken care of
-
How Many teams still need to renew?
-
4 people still need to renew - Vin, Slob, Screaming, and DingDongs. I’m expecting everyone to stay in the league
-
Were you the last one?

I’m renewed!
-
Has everyone renewed for 2022?
-
16 days days until Pitchers and Catchers don't report to Spring Training.
-
Hey Hey, let's wait until after the draft to see where he finds his new home, shall we! May need to change the hits part though...he doesn't really do that
-
It would be pretty lame to not change your name. The only thing worse would be to pick a name with a player you've never had on your team.....
-
Hits are you going to change your team name now that you dropped Dejong?
-
Based on what I'm seeing on the message board and the tag line on our league's home page, Ottoneu pushed the keeper deadline to February 15. Please let me know if anyone has seen differently. Ottoneu's goal appears to be to have the lockout end and a little more time for MLB free agents to sign before the keeper deadline; but it also has to leave enough time for drafts before the regular season starts (it doesn't allow drafts before keeper deadlines). I'll keep everyone posted
-
I just got the official news.
The renewal date has NOT been extended.
Renewal is still Jan 31st.

Thanks Ghost!
-
Ottoneu had moved the keeper deadline from 11:59p ET on 1/31 to 11:59p ET on 2/15. This should be reflected on every league’s Tools page, where you can see the league calendar.
-
30 days until Pitchers and Catchers don't report to Spring Training.
-
Slob, I haven’t been stuck at home for over a year and thank god. I never want to go through that hell again.
-
Slob... I would be happy to take an ass whooping if the lockout would end.
-
Thanks for the update commish! I'm going to be very sad if actual games are gonna get impacted =(
-
You guys are lucky this lockout is happening to be honest. Team Slob was about to open a can of whoop-ass on y'all that would have been historic. I mean, I understand being scared of us, but making a lockout happen just to avoid the ass whoopin is kinda extreme. Sheesh!
-
MLB needs to learn from NFL & NBA. Truly missing the boat when they have a captive audience stuck at home needing a past time during COVID. C'Mon MAN!!!
-
As of today no meetings are scheduled.
Baseball owners and player are really stupid.
They are destroying the game.
-
An update from reading the Ottoneu message boards. Unless MLB picks up the pace on resolving this lock out, it appears likely that Ottoneu will push the keeper deadline into February. I'll let everyone know if I hear anything concrete. You can also follow along on the message boards by clicking on "community".
-
FYI - Ottoneu is monitoring the lockout and may adjust the keeper deadline if they determine it to be best. I don’t believe I can adjust that on my own and honestly am happy to just follow the lead of Ottoneu. I’ll let everyone know if I hear anything else
-
Sorry Hits for the accidental burn
-
OPL is only for top 6 teams in the league, so I cannot participate.
-
Anyone else looking into the Ottoneu Prestige League (OPL) for the upcoming season?
-
Happy Thanksgiving to all my American friends!

Happy Thanksgiving

I usually push for just before opening day but will pool thoughts and availability
-
Important to understand if it is pre or post Spring training I'd say Feb 21st for my B-Day!
-
Unless anyone has any more urgent needs, I plan to coordinate the draft in January or otherwise early next year.
-
When is the draft?
-
Woohoo - offseason trades! Two notes to make sure everyone is on the same page:
- With cuts made between now and the January 31 keeper deadline, nobody needs to worry about cap penalties for drops (that's an in-season thing only)
- You don't currently have to have a legal roster - it just has to be no more than 40/$400 by January 31
Thanks
-
Thanks
-
Although during the season you can exceed 40 players and $400 with loans, 60 day IL, etc.......from the 1/31 keeper deadline through the draft, you cannot exceed 40 players or $400. You can't leave the draft with more than 40 players or $400 and, essentially, the keeper deadline is setting the stage for the draft.
-
Can you clarify the 40 man roster. I believe you can exceed 40 when you have players on the 60 IL.
-
I believe you are correct - anticipating a flurry of drops in late January
-
Hits from Dejong welcomes all trades, can move some prospects and position players and I'm looking for SP primarily.
Commish: I don't think there is a place where you say these are my keepers and then it auto drops people not on that list come January 31st. Each team will need to trade and drop the people they do not want on their team by that date (and be compliant with the roster rules). No specific tool, I believe, but would be happy to be corrected on this.

Bangers is open for business, looking to move some young prospects for players who can help me compete this year #BangersRevenge

I'll pay more attention to making sure everyone is on top of the keeper deadline in January, and will also start coordinating the draft around that time as well. In the meantime, my door is open for trades anytime
-
Yes. Players can be cut as well (but not re-acquired). Between now and the 1/31 keeper deadline, players can be cut or traded. Then everything will lock from 1/31 until the draft. I don't know if there will be a keeper deadline tool that comes out like with arbitration, or you just cut players whenever. But one way or another, everyone's roster will need to have no more than 40 players and no more than $400 by 1/31 (no extra spots for IL, etc.).
