i forgot that i'm technically a co-commissioner, so: let's talk draft dates. should i create a poll? or do you just want to start throwing out dates? i'm good with weekdays or weekends, although my weekends are starting to get booked as more drafts get scheduled. are there any strong preferences or owners' schedule constraints we need to accommodate?
-
Final reminder: Today is the keep/cut/trade to get under cup and meet roster requirements. Will reach out this upcoming week regarding an auction date. Good luck and hope you all are well!

Hey everyone! I've got a ton of prospects/low cost players. Would like to take on some salary (with equitable player value) across both hitting and pitching. Let me know if interested!

help me move correa ($22) or semien ($17) or laureano ($12). would like to take on less salary than i give but i can be swayed
-
Salfino emailed me indicating Justin Turner was cut on accident. I've been moving and renovating a new home and was just able to get to this. Reminder: 1/31 is the keep/cut/trade deadline.Hope all you guys are well.
-
OK... Just saw we will start discussing Draft Date around Cutdown time at end of month.
-
Any consideration given yet to Draft Date?
-
Arbitration is complete. January 31st is the keeper deadline. You can cut/trade to get under cup and meet roster requirements by then. I'll shoot you guys a survey around that time as well to set up an auction date. Thanks!
-
Please welcome Michael Salfino to the league (@MichaelSalfino). He'll be taking over for Health who no longer was able to participate, unfortunately. Thanks, Salfino!
-
Alright, got Blizzard of Oz's Arb. Waiting on Heath's and Ray's then will update. Let's call tomorrow night (Friday, 11/20) the deadline to provide other owners ample time to plan for their cuts/trades. Thanks all!
-
Oh just seeing your note below, I will send over my Arb...ottoneu is going to my non-primary inbox so going to update the domain!!

Cont... And a maximum of $3 per team. You have $25 to spend in all. If you have any questions, comments or concerns, please email/text or tweet me. Thanks all! -Alan
-
Okay All: Spoke to Niv & received clarification on missed arb. If we agree, I can allow those that missed the deadline to email me a list of their arb allocations & I can manually adjust player salaries via the commish tools. I have no problem w/this since it is 2020 & all. I partially take the blame for not communicating. So, if all is good, folks that missed please email a list of players & $ you're allocating to each. You must allocated a min of $1 per team. Yo
-
I don't believe Ottoneu ever sends messages - they just have the deadline displayed at the top of the league page and in the rules. In the past, Chad just did a really nice job reminding of us all. Like some of you I forgot about it but posted a message as soon as I remembered, that's my fault. I'll shoot Niv a message to see what he says about any extensions. Hope you all are well.
-
Yeah I didn't see anything official either, would appreciate an extension.

I did not get a notice to submit the arbitration changes this year. Was I the only one? Any chance it can be extended to allow the teams who did not submit to submit their changes?
-
Whoa! Somehow I missed the initial notice of that! Is it just me or is this an earlier deadline than usual?

PSA: arbitration deadline is tomorrow, 11/14! Don't fail to get your allocations in!
-
These cap penalties are absurd.
-
Not allowing me to access Set Lineups page. Continually returns to team home page. Please Help. This is absolutely ridiculous. I do not understand the problem.
-
Still a couple helpful 2020 pieces, Bogaerts, Buxton, Josh Bell, DeJong (just cleared from covid). Come get em!
-
need a 1B that doesn't suck! and i've maybe got pieces i can move, so let's dance

-
why cant i find the draft room?
-
Disregard Previous... It is available.
-
Draft Chat not available. When will it be open?
-
sounds like we're best off just drafting tomorrow. thanks for the feedback everyone!
-
Nevermind I see 8:30EST
-
I’m fine with drafting tomorrow night. What time again?
-
Tomorrow is still totally fine with me.
-
Im fine with tomorrow
-
I’m good for tomorrow but will yield to majority if folks want to push it back.
-
Also considering we don't play for cash prizes and more just bragging rights there's less harm in drafting now an not waiting in my opinion
-
I'm good for tomorrow night. Nothing else going on right now, and I agree its always tough to get this group together.
-
we got three people to respond. anyone else? please? draft is tomorrow and we are all inside at our computers i can see you!!!!!!!
-
I'm good either way. It's not like I'm going out anywhere.
-
Given the historic challenges in getting this group to agree on a draft date, I vote we stay with Wednesday night. I normally would prefer a date closer to start of season. However, since that is such an unknown at this point and we have a mutually agreed upon date which all signified they could attend, I vote for drafting Wednesday as planned.
-
I'd be fine pushing back the draft, I could see this delay impacting some strategies, or at least altering value of some players. Might be better to do when we have an actual MLB start date???
-
hi everyone -- wanted to check in with everyone regarding the draft. obviously we're in uncharted territory here. our draft is scheduled for wednesday, but we could push it back to a date much closer to the season. does anyone have strong feelings one way or the other? i am ok with keeping it as is, but i do have a slightly preference for delaying it to some future date that's closer to opening day. let us know your thoughts -- thanks!
-
So far, each of the eight voters indicated they would be available on Wednesday 3.18 and Monday 3.23. Unless there's a serious swing with the remaining four voters, let's plan to start at 8:30 EST on 3.18 and we'll use Monday 3.23 as a backup plan in case we run long. If you didn't vote, please do so here: https://doodle.com/poll/q9ymuy4yv4237apk
-
Hey All: Please complete this Doodle poll so we can schedule to auction:
https://doodle.com/poll/q9ymuy4yv4237apk
As you know, it is difficult to get all parties in the same room at the same time. Work/family/travel and time zones all play a role here, so consider a proxy if by chance one of these days/times do not work.
-
alan and/or i will post a poll soon! i won't be at FPFL and i will probably be out of commission each of the last three weekends of march. a weekday probably works best for me, or i can make FPFL weekend work, too. anyway, poll soon!
-
Is there a quorum of the league at FPFL in St. Pete at the end of this month? And would we have any time that weekend to do this? If not, maybe we should start a Doodle Poll for some evening in March?
-
Any Draft date consideration yet? Only two days I am unavailable as of now are March 16 and March 22. Thanks.
-
ok, block updated. i could afford to shed some salary but am most interested in trading multiple prospects for someone MLB-ready, preferably an SP
-
extremely excited to be inheriting a 10th-place team and also to have to commissioner access so i can cheat my way out of 10th place. suckers! real talk: gonna update my trade block in a sec. let's swing a trade or two before the deadline y'all)
-
Please give a warm welcome to our friend Alex Chamberlain (@DolphHauldhagen) of FanGraphs/RotoGraphs who will be taking over for Paul Sporer.
Once the cut deadline passes, I'll work with Alex, who will be the co-caretaker of this league going forward, to get a poll out to you all with potential draft dates for our 2020 auction. Keep an eye out. Thanks!
-
Any draft date possibilities yet? As of now, March 22 is only day totally out for me.
-
Okay folks - Looks like Paul Sporer will be bowing out of Ottoneu. Just a ton of things on his plate at the moment. I've reached out to several other FG scribes to gauge interest in keeping the FG team alive. Hopefully get someone in there soon.
-
A couple of teams haven't checked in for some time, so just wanted to remind all that we need to cut/trade to get under the $400 salary cap by midnight ET on 1/31. Then we'll have to decide on a date for the this season's auction.
If by chance you or someone you know in the league will not be returning for the upcoming season, please let us know ASAP so we have some time to find a new owner for your team.
Hope all is well with you all!
