I was able to find to experienced ottoneu players to submit arb for the last two teams (thanks jacochri and blue shoes!), so we are all set. Thanks everyone! Arb can still be changed/modified up until the end of the day if needed. Otherwise, just in case some sort of emergency came up, I will give both owners a week to login and confirm they want to keep their teams and just had something come up (or if they login today no worries at all!). Otherwise I will abandon.

Hopefully everyone submits arb and so it doesn't come down to it, as 2 of the 3 remaining have logged in in Nov. Just in case though, if needed I can probably find an experienced ottoneu owner on the Slack channel that can submit arbitration for a team if the owner does not. Obviously this isn't ideal, though my personal opinion is that it's at least better than a team not submitting at all and is somewhat common across the platform. That said, any thoughts/concerns in case it comes down to it?

Hey everyone, just a reminder the arbitration deadline is this Saturday the 14th, and it'd be great to get 100% participation again this year as it's critical for ongoing league health! Looks like just 4 teams left who haven't submitted yet. No worries if you prefer to wait until the end to allocate, but if you are planning to wait would you mind sending me a quick message to confirm that's your plan so I don't have to send out a bunch of nagging DMs later in the week? Thanks all!

It appears only half the league has done their arbitration allocations, just a quick reminder, please make sure to log them by 11/14

Hello everyone. I claimed the Baby Bears this morning. It looks like I have some decent pieces to work with but I am always open to trade discussions. I will probably keep the team name for this season. Looking forward to whatever this crazy season has to offer.
-
Hey everyone, it seems we're just a few days away from finally starting up the season (fingers-crossed). Hope all is well with everyone, at least as much as is possible this year! Please note the revised roster rules for this modified season (should be a link at the top of the page). Hopefully we'll get an exciting sprint to the finish! Good luck

Anybody want another team? Kramerica is available in another league of mine and we plan to draft tonite. https://ottoneu.fangraphs.com/324/home

Thanks everyone for an enjoyable, speedy draft! We should be in regular season mode now, so you can make trades, cuts, start auctions, etc. Go nuts!

One of the guys I play with in another league is looking to start up a new $20 FGPts league through a slow draft. He will be considering non-standard rules (i.e. $0 MiLB, arb coupons, salary floor, etc.) once the league fills. Please let me know if you are interested and I can pass along contact info.

Welcome back D/FW Clippers from your very brief retirement (same owner as before!)! Note, he had let me know there might be a timing blip prior to Jan 31 (though communication gets shut off after Jan 31 so I was worried we'd lost him) and since he had been in the league 4-5 years previously and had been commissioner in the league up until Jan 31, I offered him back his job as commissioner. Thanks for volunteering Last Man Standing ... appreciate your willingness to help out if needed!

I was a commish before on this site, so if you need an assistant I will do it. I am retired so I am usually home most of the time
Atlanta Flames on

Hey everyone, D/FW had previously mentioned he wasn't sure he would be able to renew, but since he'd been in the league so long I gave him the full grace period to decide. I'll work on recruiting a new owner, but that also means we are back down to 1 commissioner. Is anyone interested in being a co-commissioner? Otherwise, I can probably manage, I'm just a little worried I might not quite be home for the start of the draft and so may be attempting to do the first bit on my phone from the bus.

Thanks for weighing in everyone, and your understanding Santa’s. Looks like we just need a few more folks to fill out the doodle poll and then we can get a draft date on the calendar. This will be the first time Trout is back up for auction since 2013!

Okay I understand how it could be a bad precedent for the league to undue that trade. Also we decided to not take back any of the players that were dropped. Looking forward to the draft!
-
I cosign with the other takes on here regarding new team trade/cut policies.
Zeno's Story on
January 31, 2020 9:44 PM
-
Reminder, all cuts must be made in the next two hours. Baseballism, if you want any of those previous cuts back, you have to let me know ASAP before the deadline!
King's Court on
January 31, 2020 8:58 PM
-
No problem with cut players being reinstated. Trades have to stay as is.
-
I also agree with allowing cut guys to be taken back but not reversing trades (full disclosure: I made a trade with the previous owner but I have had no indication that the new owner wants it undone). It's likely that subsequent decisions have been made based, at least partially, on that trade having happened and undoing it now is not good for the health of the league.

I agree with Maru
Atlanta Flames on

My opinion. I'm good with the add/drops, that's only fair. As for reversing the trade, my opinion is that the trade should stand. I feel that could set a precedent for future owners who join the league to call for trade reversals, which I think could get awkward and potentially contentious. As a potential solution, going forward any new team joining our league should be required to immediately pay league fees for the upcoming year as to avoid this join-trade-quit scenario. Just my opinion.
-
Some feedback from me; 1. No concern on adding dropped players back to Santa’s team. 2. On the previous trade, I’ll defer to Santa. If he’s ok letting it stand so am I. If he wouldn’t have made the trade then maybe fair to reverse. Again, I’ll defer. 3. On draft, please prioritize the other owners as I’m still an outlier living overseas. So I’ll go with the others decision.

A question arose as to whether a prior trade made by the previous Baseballism Santas owner earlier this offseason should be reversed as well (similar to some of the previous cuts), as the new owner wouldn't have agreed to it. Since my team is the other end of the deal, I'm going to have to recuse myself from the conversation and let the league discuss and let D/FW make the call as the uninvolved, neutral commissioner.
King's Court on

Great happy to be a part of the league!
-
That is the way it is supposed to work. They put it in so these guys who sign up and quit can't ruin the team
-
Hopefully nobody else has an issue with that? I don't see any of the previous owner's cuts where the circumstances dramatically changed or anything since the offseason began (like, nobody was traded to Colorado or something), so should just be a matter of preferences, and it seems like the owner who's going to keep the team should be the one to make those keep/cut decisions wherever possible?
King's Court on
January 30, 2020 2:49 PM
-
Yes, if there are guys the previous owner of your team cut that you'd like back at their original salary, I'm fine adding them back to your roster so you can make that decision instead. I would need the list ideally today, or maybe tomorrow morning though, and it would be a one-time thing obviously and only applies to players that were cut by your team and not any of the other teams!
King's Court on
January 30, 2020 2:43 PM

Hi King's Court thanks for the warm greeting! Just to confirm I could add back some of the players that have been dropped by the previous owner of the account. I can give you a list later today. Thanks!
-
Welcome new Baseballism Santas owner! Glad to see we are back to full again prior to cutdown day!
King's Court on

Couple quick notes: The cut deadline is 11:59pm tomorrow EASTERN time. If you're on the west coast like me for example, that's 8:59pm PST. I assume the deadline works the same to renew. Also, that means, any player you trade for after 11:59pm EST tonight, you won't have to to cut (since trades take 24 hours to process).

Really appreciate anyone who can be that flexible! Always hard to find a time that works for 12 people spread across the country (and I think globe ... Napalm are you still overseas?). Would you still mind going into the poll and checking off all the boxes just to help me keep track of everything in one place (whenever you have a moment ... urgent)? Appreciate it!

Also, another reminder, Ottoneu now requires all leagues dues to be paid by January 31. That's this Friday! That's also the keeper deadline, so don't forget that either! :)
