Draft is officially set for Monday, March 15, 2021 at 8:00 PM Eastern. Thanks, and looking forward to it!
-
Alright, unless anyone objects, I’m going to schedule it for Monday, March 15th at 8:00 PM Eastern.
I’m sure we can be a little flexible on the start time if everyone agrees to that, but please save the date March 15th on your calendars.
-
I always prefer later (am lazy), but this year especially it feels like we're in for some more rule changes (esp. around the DH, which I don't really believe is dead!)

Reading a calendar is hard. I'm completely free on the 15th of March. Beware.
-
I have picked up a volleyball match on 3/15, but it's actually a fairly early one. I would be ready to draft by 8pm (central time) even if it went five sets.
-
I'll second that preference for later.
-
Thank you all for completing the Doodle poll. It looks like three straight Mondays, March 1st, 8th, and 15th, work for all of us.
I know at least one of us has expressed a preference to draft as late as possible. Does anyone else have a strong preference about which of those three dates we choose?
-
Reminder to please fill out the Doodle poll if you haven’t already.
-
Hello all, you should have received an email from me a few minutes ago with instructions for filling out this year's Doodle poll that will help us schedule our 2021 auction. Please complete at your earliest convenience and let me know if you have a conflict that I did not accommodate. Here is the link: https://doodle.com/poll/r8pk4bz6ibay477s?utm_source=poll&utm_medium=link

3/14 in the evening is out for me. With enough warning I can make just about anything work.
-
3/14 is bad for me, but i am pretty open any other time.

March is fairly open for me. Presently I would be out the 19th, & 26-28th.
-
"I prefer a slightly later draft, to let the rosters take shape." - I realize this was unclear. I meant later in March, not later in the day.

I cannot do Friday, March 19 or Saturday, March 27. I would prefer not to do the days in between, but I realize there are 12 schedules to juggle, so I will try to make 3/20-3/26 work if we begin at or after 8 PM ET.
-
If anyone else has any date/time conflicts, please let me know by the end of the day today.
-
I am in America this year. Wednesdays are bad for me. In general, I prefer a slightly later draft, to let the rosters take shape. But I do not feel strongly!

Having two owners on one team is helpful, but that being said for me to be a part of this draft, it would have to start later than 7:30pm CST. I could always join later as long as the date/time works for Daryl as well.
-
Tuesday and Wednesday nights are not good for me in general. Otherwise I should be able to make most other times work.
-
Was going to send out a message today! Does anyone else have any date ranges or times of day that absolutely will not work? Once I have that info, I will set up a Doodle poll and we'll zero in on a date and time for the auction.
-
With the college volleyball season moved to this Spring, I am officiating a LOT of matches (college & club). Is it possible to start discussing draft dates sooner than later?
-
Thanks for the messages all - I am open to getting younger! (AREN'T WE ALL?)

We are open for business - please consult our updated trade block and send us offers!
-
The keeper deadline is tonight 11:59 PM EST tonight. Trades completed before the deadline WILL be valid, but rosters must be legal as soon as those trades process. In other words, no cuts are permitted after the deadline, even if it's a player coming over in a trade made prior to the deadline. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to reach out.
-
Xander Bogaerts, Kyle Hendricks, Justin Turner, and others are available. Inquire within.
-
Doing my best Pirates impression, looking to trade players on higher contracts (anything over $20). Everyone is available, looking for young inexpensive players in return, preferably no more than one year away from the show. Nola, Rendon, Turner, Albies, Hoskins all various degrees of available. I'm not giving guys away so please don't offer me Darren O'Day for Turner, I can just as soon keep them.
-
Hello all, just a reminder that the keeper deadline is this Sunday, Jan. 31, at 11:59 PM EST. Once the deadline passes, there will be no cuts or trades until after the auction. I will reach out about scheduling the auction shortly after the keeper deadline.
-
Hey all, I’m Chap, new manager of the team formerly known as Cell Monkey. I play in a lot of Ottoneu leagues, and I’m excited to join you all in the Screw Cancer league. I love to trade so if your interested in anyone on my squad let me know.
-
All, I'm disappointed to let you know that I've decided to step away from Ottoneu. The site, community, and game are fantastic, and I particularly appreciate the Screw Cancer league because my work is a lot about finding new therapies for cancer patients. I believe that I've left my team in a better place than I found it, and hope you can find another owner that is active and shares the mission of the league. I wish you all the best.
-
And of course, this means the opening of trade season. My championship offense has (rightfully) gotten expensive, so I have to break up the band a bit. Taking and considering offers on Betts, Freeman, Yelich, and Jose Ramirez among others. I can keep some of them but not all so I’ll take whichever offers are best on at least one of those

Congrats everyone, we successfully made it through arbitration. New salaries are locked in, so trades and cuts should be back open. Our next step will be the keeper deadline on Jan. 31.
-
Hello all, for the past several weeks I have mistakenly thought that arbitration in this league *started* on November 14th, but I just realized that it *ends* on November 14th. If I had realized, I would have sent this message sooner. The message is: Please make sure you complete arbitration by next Saturday! Each team is *required* to allocate all of its arbitration dollars in accordance with the rules. Send me a message if you have any questions. I'll be checking in later this week. Thank you.
-
Hopefully it's temporary.
-
Ah, sorry to hear you're not with FG anymore :(

Just an fyi, I'll be bringing in a new co-owner this year. You can remove Schaef at your convenience (no rush). For now, I'm no longer officially with FanGraphs either, so I won't be able to do much promotion for the league.
-
Congrats to the winners!
-
Congratulations, New York Neatly Groomed Gentlemen! What an incredible late comeback fueled by an all-time offense. And congrats to Cell Monkey as well on a great year that fell just a little bit short. Thank you all for another fun, active season under difficult circumstances. Looking forward to the offseason.
-
Congratulations NYNGG, and congratulations also to Cell Monkey who also had a very strong season—enough to take first in either of my other two leagues.
-
Thank you all. What a weird, short season. Perhaps the bizarro version of a long, strange trip. Looking forward to the next season.

Congrats NY on the well deserved win. You had an offense for the ages and ran away with this league. Hoping to do better next season. Looking forward to an active off-season!
-
I would assume so. The auction wouldn't be completed before the end of the season.
-
Are new auctions disabled?

Ha, no, that would have softened the blow somewhat. Mize & Lugo just threw stinkers.

Was your offense beating up your own pitching? That's my favorite when that happens. 🤦♂️
-
Checking in on my stats - 99 points and counting from my offense, great! Finally some luck. ... scrolls down to pitching, where -70 is waiting for me.

Looking for starting pitching. DM me if you've got it. Deadline in 30 minutes.
-
Huh? I bid $18 for Devin Williams :(
-
Looking for some relief help. DM me if you have some to spare.
-
Anyone want Judge for 2021? Taking offers.
-
You're all good. Nothing new to report. Doubleheaders are the same as they've always been, the AL and NL still have different DH rules, all the games are being played without interruption, the Orioles are still the worst team in the AL and all the fans are glad to be back outdoors enjoying games in person.
