League Message Board
-
Commissioner can remove managers. Managers cannot remove themselves
-
don't think cruz control ever once looked at his squad and i'm not sure we will get him to come online to officially abandon. may need to ask niv to intervene if the commissioner can't force it
-
You mean go into Ottoneu and press the necessary buttons etc?
-
Cool. I think those team owners need to officially abandon before someone else can take over?
-
AFC, pale ales, and cruz control. i say let them have their pick of the litter unless anyone disagrees
-
I've got someone from FanGraphs who wants a team. Which teams are available? What should I send him so that he can pick on?
-
I think I am one of the 3...and just confirming that is my plan is to leave this league. Sorry guys!
-
We're still in it!
-
3 — unless anyone else is leaving
-
How many spots do we need to fill for next season? I'll start nudging people in the FanGraphs slack.
-
Well, back to the drawing board actually. My candidate tells me he just got a new job covering college basketball and won't have time for Ottoneu. He's out. Still need three. Yay.
-
(Well, I guess we wouldn't be dissolving the teams altogether, so it'd be a ...respersal draft? Anyway, glad we're getting arbitration set at least!)

I think that's where I'm at as well, but I'm not completely against a dispersal draft if that's what we need to recruit.

While I think it is an interesting idea, I am against divying up the three rosters for new owners. I am of the opinion that they should take ownership and make decisions from there
-
I’ve still got my prospect (who is willing to commit) but I also was hoping we would divvy up the three rosters when the time came to give the new owners a fresh beginning. In the meantime, should I get Lindsey to take over Cruz control through arbitration? The other two GMs seemed to be willing to work their rosters thru arb
-
Looks like we still need three teams to arb? I'm on the road today, but we could probably get someone from Ottoneu Slack to handle Cruz Control, if need be.

I have a prospect. A journalist or former journalist now in PR who has played daily fantasy for years but not Ottoneu yet. Chicago area based. Lindsey Willhite. Used to cover college basketball and sometimes baseball. I’ve never played fantasy with him but he was asking about Max Clark so he seems to have a good initial instinct for this kind of league.
-
Nothing wrong with the league at all, super competitive and enjoyable. I didn’t have time to be an engaging GM this season and that’s going to continue so for me it’s time to move on.

Why do you guys want to leave, if you don't mind me asking? Is there anything wrong with the league? (lol)
-
I meant the two teams that were changing hands -- divide those rosters. But now there are three?
-
I'm in the same situation as AFC - I don't plan to return for next season but I will manage the team through the offseason as needed.

Like basically start the league over?

With two GMs changing hands, would it make sense to pool the rosters and have a little draft and remake the teams? It’s easier to sell one person on “Ohtani” but it might be easier to sell two different people on the opportunity for Ohtani.
-
Arbitration is open, so make sue to get that in.

I do not plan on returning next season, so please let me know when you find a replacement manager. I don't mind sticking around through arbitration, but I would like to be replaced ASAP
-
we should definitely recruit. if anyone has any ideas please reach out to those folks
-
Do we need to recruit a new GM for Cruz Conrtrol because they made no moves? Or is it that, in itself, a strategy?
-
😂 Thanks! It was a tough battle, for sure — my folks just got hot at the right time. Good season, y'all!

Open to win-now trades if anyone's interested in Salas, Heliot, Bautista, or other fun folks. Looking for above-average contributors at MI, C, possibly elsewhere.
-
Living up to their team name, at least.
-
someone please let Cruz Control know to set their lineups
-
We are back up to full strenth. Dave Brown has joined the league and has taken over Fighting Parrotlegals.
Once I have his cuts, I will put them in.
Draft is tomorrow night at 9 PM. See everybody then.
-
Ok. Any idea if he's ever done Ottoneu before?
-
Dave Brown told me he was interested. I think he still is. answerdave.brown@gmail.com if someone can reach out
-
Anybody have a replacement owner?
-
Interested party, can someone contact: cj.rochel@gmail.com
Wants to see the roster
-
It stinks, but it is for the best. I will continue to ask around and see if I have anyone that wants to join.

Copy that. I’ve already changed my plans, so if we find someone today I’m good to draft tonight if we decide by around 3 PM ET.
-
Looks like we need to move the draft back to after the opening series to find a new owner for Parrotlegals.
New draft day and time-
March 25th, 9 PM Eastern.
-
I emailed with Mat and gave him all of the league information but haven't heard back from him since yesterday morning. If we have someone else that is interested than I'm fine with that.
My preference is to keep the draft tomorrow night but I'd like to get the league full before then. There were no other dates (before the opening 2 game series) that worked for everyone so if we push the draft back it will have to be after those Dodgers/Padres games.
-
I’d also be interested in confirming ASAP whether we’re drafting tomorrow night—I’ll be on the road so will shift my travel plans to make this as needed. Thanks!
-
I have had someone in my DMs begging to join a league if there was ever an opening (like for multiple years). I'll see if I can track them down if that would be acceptable.
-
Are we going to delay the draft until a new owner is found?

reach out to my friend Mat matharrison1@gmail.com he's an industry pro and might possibly be interested
-
I may be able to find someone.
-
Cuts are made for Cruz Control but now we need another new owner. Let me know if you have someone to fill Parrotlegals.
-
Hey everyone, I'm sorry I've missed these messages -- I'm working for the Blue Jays now, and things have been busy with spring training. I won't be able to play in the league this year for obvious reasons -- apologies again for the late response. Hope everyone has a great season!
-
i can reach out to him again but he hasn't responded to my recent nudge. we may need to find a replacement, an experienced ottoneu vet who can make quick cuts and be ready to draft on thursday
-
Can someone reach out to Rob to have him make his cuts?
