The draft is done. Let the trading begin!

Just about one hour before draft time, see you soon
-
Happy draft day everyone!

Reminder:
Did It All For The Rookies is drafting in 2 days: this Sunday at 7pm Eastern.
Please come to the draft room early so you have time to fill your nomination queue before 7. Nominations are likely to come quickly as we fill out our rosters.
-
Fire up your cheatsheets: we draft next Sunday. Bidding was spirited last year, and I expect more of the same this year.
-
FYI, 2022 Ottoneu Prestige League (OPL) signups are open.
OPL is a multi-round bestball tournament that uses your existing team’s roster for scoring.
Details here:
https://community.ottoneu.com/t/2022-opl-is-live/11393
If your team finished in the top 6 in Did It All For The Rookies last year, it is eligible to enter OPL. (You just have to pay the OPL entry fee.)

I'm recruiting an owner (or two) for my dynasty fantasy baseball league hosted on Fantrax. It's 6x6 almost full dynasty. 35 person rosters, we keep 30 active and 5 minor leauge platers, lots of minor spots on the rosters. We're still expanding the dynasty nature a bit. The roster of the team up right now can be found here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1yyFDaJPFQ5rSwqh3CryXEwZQ5msvIM1ExTXPWwuCAQw/edit?usp=sharing

March 27th will work fine for me.
-
We have 10 out of 11 votes in favor of Sunday March 27th, 7pm Eastern as draft day. Neither of the other two days comes close to that level of consensus. So that's the day.
I'll update the league page accordingly.
Whales and Vladdy, let me know if you need proxy drafters for that evening.

A few of us haven't voted on the draft calendar poll. Please do that by Monday if you haven't already, so we can get a draft date set.

Fair enough, no point in putting it to a vote. Bauer buyer beware it is.

Agree with previous comments. Buyer beware
-
Echoing Metes & Brothers.
-
I agree. Dynasty league like this, the risk will be priced in, whoever wants to take it should be able to.
-
As much as I despise Bauer, I am wary of such a precedent.
-
I'm fully onboard with no Bauer.
Can we go no 2017 Astros members too?

While we're sorting out draft stuff:
There's talk in some Ottoneu leagues of putting Trevor Bauer on the Restricted List of players that can't be auctioned. He's in limbo due to the lockout. Could be a difference maker if he plays, but there's no way to know that during draft season.
We have full control of the Restricted list at the league level.
What do you think? Worth putting to a vote?

I've set up a calendar poll with three possible draft dates, all Sundays at 7pm Eastern: February 27th, March 6th, and March 27th.
Please fill it in by Monday.
If you can make all three dates, please vote for all three dates. Please don't just pick one unless there's only one date you can make.
Also: Please use your team name so I know who has voted.

Looks like we made it through the keeper deadline safely. I don't see any looming roster legality issues.
Pending trades accepted before the deadline will be processed at their usual time.
Looks like ~270 players are still on rosters, which means there will be ~210 picks in this year's draft. The draft might take 4 hours or a little more.
We can talk about that tomorrow. Have a good night!

FYI, it looks like Gmail is marking Ottoneu email as spam, and it looks like it’s happening at the server level:
https://community.ottoneu.com/t/gmail-marking-emails-as-spam-2-15-22/11215
There are messages on the board this evening that I don’t have email for in my Gmail account.

I'm not seeing much love expressed for the change to a 24 hour trade wait period, even though pretty much the whole league has been on the site in the last 24 hours for the keeper deadline.
That change wouldn't affect keeper decisions. Let's let everybody focus on their keeps and cuts for now. We can discuss the trade wait period further after the deadline (but before the draft).

3 and half hours to the cut deadline (11:59 PM Eastern) - get those last cuts in.

I'd prefer 24 as well. Shouldn't take people long to voice an opinion.
-
I like 24 hours.
-
With my commish hat on, the 48 hour trade wait default gives the league breathing room if something that smells like collusion happens. That's a super rare scenario. I think using trade vetoes is generally a bad idea, especially in a deep rosters keeper league like what we have here. So I can go either way on the wait period.
Hakuna Machado on
February 14, 2022 11:47 PM

On the trade wait period: There are two options. We're at the default 48 hours. We could potentially switch to 24 hours.
Is there an appetite for a vote for 24?
Hakuna Machado on

Is there a plan to vote on trade wait period?
-
I prefer the draft to be 2-3 weeks before opening day - any day of the week - 7:00 PM eastern or later.
-
For Draft: I’ll be unavailable March 8th to the 21st but can do any time before or after. I prefer Sundays to draft as well

also this i seen today has to be one of the best pieces of baseball writing ive read

the specific day/time might be variable for me based on what im up to that week ie like exam, research, etc. i cant get out of to do something not college related lol, but im in for a late march draft
Im sure its expected at this time for opening day to be affected by the cba NO-gotiations

I've always been a proponent of the latest draft possible. My $0.02.

Suggestion on Draft. Look at 3rd week in March, by then hopefully, free agent signings complete, mlb roster construction clearer and improved injury updates. My 2 commish leagues we are guessing about a 3 hour draft. Thanks.

On an auction draft date:
Would you like a traditional February/March date, or do you want to see how the lockout goes and draft later?

I welcome the whole league to check in on/enforce the 'time since last activity' provision if you see someone has been away for a while per the trade page or roster pages - in-season.

Looks like I cross-posted with ACC Bulldogs earlier. The vote on prop 2 is now 6-3 against, which means it will not pass.
We'll use the more lenient interpretation of Rule 1.a: Just have enough MLB active players with position eligibility to field a starting lineup, healthy or injured.

-
Current vote is 3-2 in favor of 'Healthy Players,'
I'm going to call the vote done as of 11pm Eastern tonight, so we have results in with a day to spare before the keeper deadline.
Yea or nay, get your vote in today.
