Congrats on taking home another chip Rotolobotomy. And to Plum Smuggler & The Raw and The Cooked for the podium finishes. Looking forward to the offseason and starting to build for next year.

kenley is available if anyone wants to take a stab. i dont expect premium prices for damaged merchandise...but if he keeps his role, he could be of some assistance to someone.
-
Yes, that would be nice. Lol.
-
Good Luck! Have an injury free H2!!!
-
Welcome! Glad to have you here.
-
welcome! Happy to have another manager on board who doesn't take trades so seriously. One of my favorite parts of ON is how everyone values assets differently.

you'll do great. Ottoneu is a blast. Have fun.
-
thanks very much!!! i hope i dont disappoint y'all.
-
welcome aboard
-
afternoon, Folks. I am the new owner of "Story" and will be active and non-confrontational. Best to all!
-
Also, I'm torn because my brother expressed interest in trying Ottoneu, but it doesn't feel fair to put a first timer into that spot. Thoughts? I'm new this year, so I haven't seen how that goes.
-
Oof. I creeped my way over there and read the drama. It's funny because the guy was complaining about another team reclaiming Trout on a "waiver add" after trading him...but he literally bid (cheaply) on Trout in the very auction he's calling a "waiver claim". Not anyone else's fault he came in $15 too low on the best player in the game.

How dare you apply appropriate governance as commish!

He has a history of disliking legit trades and throwing a tantrum. Usually just quits the one league though.
-
That owner is in 2 other leagues where I am Commish. He didn't like a trade (not involving me) that went down in one of them...I wouldn't reverse it, so he decided to quit his leagues. Both owners, of the trading teams, said the trade was done to help their teams and made cases that made sense...what can you do? Zero veto votes cast.
-
Hey everyone, I've never seen this from a first place team, but Believe the Story messaged me this afternoon saying he is done with Ottoneu and wants to be replaced.
Just abandoned that team in case you know anyone looking for a "minimal effort" Ottoneu project.

lol Plum you forgot to turn you bids to private... wasn’t gonna say anything but it’s kinda sad now
-
...and another one...0 for the season.

Always sucks losing out on a coin flip. @Plum ... at least you're not in salary cap hell

Not sure if tough or a little exuberant on player values. Lol.
-
7 regulars on the IL and I can't seem to win an auction or waiver claim...ugh! You guys are tough.
-
As I may have mentioned shortly after taking on this team...just let me know if my trade suggestions are insulting. Lol. I may not be aware of an imbalance in value and am open to being educated!

@Curve Drivers, planning to start the draft in 5 minutes. All of the other managers are ready in the draft room.

might as well throw it back to the old school name... maybe it will give me a boost!

Welcome back! I checked and can confirm 11.5 points is the worst result going back to 2013. Second worst was 13 points.
Definitely relieved to have a capable manager taking on the Mize rebuilding project. Was worried this team wouldn't be particularly attractive on the abandoned teams list.

hey guys, i’m back... it’s been a few years... looking forward to the challenge of finishing with more than 11.5 points
-
Glad to be in another league with you Chris.
-
Yes, I'm fine with that draft date.
-
Great to have you in the league Chris! I was going to suggest giving a 24h deadline to get your cuts out of the way, so sounds like we are aligned.
Assuming you are fine with the 3/23/2021 draft date as well?

Good morning, I'm Chris, some of you will know me from other leagues. I'm taking over for the Iowa Fatheads, I will do cuts and have a proper name by the end of the day. I'm looking forward to the baseball season. All the best.
-
Just updated our draft date to 9pm eastern 3/23/2021, with a backup option of the same time 3/24/2021. All ten teams who responded to my draft date survey said they were available then. @Iowa Fatheads and Y.S. Raiders, let me know if this is a conflict on your end.
I'm also monitoring Iowa Fatheads and Mize as Well for non-payment of league fees and illegal rosters. Those teams are getting abandoned first thing Thursday if these issues are not resolved.

Looks like Iowa Fatheads and Mize as Well are the only teams who haven't renewed league fees for 2021 yet. I'm setting a deadline of February 10th EOD and will abandon teams to find a new owner after that.

There are a few teams who still need to complete the draft poll.

Kenley Jansen and others available on my trade block. Not looking for washed up stars. Lol
-
Anyone interested in Judge, Bregman or Arenado? that and more available, check my trade block
-
Curve, check out this for how all this works. https://ottoneu.fangraphs.com/rules

Hey, welcome Curve Drivers! Main thing to know is that our cut deadline is coming up this Sunday. You have until then to get under the $400 salary cap limit heading in to the draft. Please fill out the doodle poll I posted January 22, 2021 6:05 PM as well.

Welcome to the new owner of Curve.
-
Hi! Just signed up for the first time and claimed Curve Drivers. Have never played on here before, and I’m looking forward to it! What do I need to know?
-
Just ended up abandoning Curve Drivers -> no response to my message from last week so thought I'd do this ahead of the 1/31/2021 deadline (even if a new owner would get one round of free cuts).
Feel free to send the team to any friends you might have looking to take over the rebuilding project.

I will not be doing any drops until late on Sunday so feel free to send me any last minute offers. Thanks.
-
On a somewhat related note, it's probably in our best interests to get a 2021 draft date locked in calendars. We drafted at 9pm on Tuesday 3/24/2020 last year and opening day is 4/1/2021.
For those coming back for 2021, can you please fill out this doodle survey (indicating your team name to make tracking easier)? Would be ideal to get Ottoneu fees paid up at your earliest convenience as well.

Hey, thanks for the heads up on that Mississippi. Hadn't noticed that Curve has been dormant since June as I grind through my accounting busy season.
Just sent him a message now, and if we still see nothing by next Tuesday I'll abandon the team so that someone new can take over ahead of the cut deadline.
