If anyone wants to join a very active Discord channel to discuss this league - you are all welcome - as of right now,
Ian, Tony, Me, Chase, Ricky, Christian, Travis, McKay are all in this channel so Ryan, Jodie, Brandon, Ike if yall join it will be everyone- would love to have you. This is a good platform to have trade discussions and get advice from other players about how to handle an injury or whatever
-
CST or EST? Sorry, I could do it by 8 EST…if I was the holdup
-
Just a reminder to everyone we have the draft tonight! 8 PM CST
-

-
Oh nevermind Ike said 8 was good. Let's shift to that. Thanks Ike/Sawyer!
-
Can we push back then 30 minutes? Would that work Sawyer?
-
LFG! I’ll make it happen.
-
I’m working until 6 ET that day and have a commute so 7 would be tough for me, but I could try if it’s the only option
-
Ok everyone - looks like best time is Mar 9th - does that not work for anyone? Sawyer can you do 7 PM? Or Ike could you do 8 PM?
-
BTW now that Shohei is going to be back the beginning of the season, I've basically got 4 players who I want to start and only 2 lineup spots 1b & UTIL, and I have very little money for the draft. I'm looking for 3B, OF, SP, RP. If anyone is interested in Vlad, Yandy Diaz, or Marcell Ozuna let me know who and I'll give you a list of free agents you could draft that I would trade them for.
-
Okay everyone fill it out and we will see if there's a timeslot that someone can make work
-
I haven't filled out the form yet, but I have another ottoneu draft that date/time.
-
It's not looking good. We have 6 people who have filled out the form and we have one timeslot that works. Tuesday Mar. 5th at 6 PM Central. Does that not work for anyone? If so we will need to explore during the day on Saturdays or Sundays.
-
Note this is just the start time, please fill out all possible times that work for you to do our fantasy draft. Thanks!
-
Hi all - Time to schedule our fantasy draft: https://strawpoll.com/XOgON2km0n3 Please respond to this as soon as possible. Note the season starts earlier this year, so we have to draft by 20th.
-
Gotcha
-
Chase didn't pay - he's aware and was trying to reclaim team but Ottoneu had a bug with this process that hopefully is fixed now that would prevent you from doing so.
-
Who didn’t renew? Or do we still need someone?
-
Just a reminder to pay your renewal fee and make any final cuts before the deadline tonight!
-
If anyone wants Arenado, he could be had for dirt cheap.

Welcome Chase!
-
Welcome to the league Chase Ward - AKA Chickendaddy who will be taking over for Ben's team. Glad to have the cool lawyer in Ohio County and not the quitter, sorry ben
-
Hey everyone - reminder on arbitration- have one more day (Tuesday) to complete!
-
Anyone else have any ideas for someone to join the league?
-
Welcome, McKay/thedudeabides26 - Thanks for joining the league! Still need one more person to join the league
-
@Ike you suggested Collin St. Clair before IIRC - want to ask him and see if he wants to join?
-
I can remove you Ben. Take care of yourself. God speed
-
When I go to Team > Team Settings, it says, “Please reach out to your commissioner in order to abandon your team.”
-
I have no objections to adding him. Ben with the league set to Private you may just be able to abandon it. I am not 100% but I don't think someone can just claim it since it is Private. Please correct me if someone else knows differently.

How do I quit exactly? I’m paid up through January but don’t want to do arbitration and all that.
-
He's in if nobody has any objections. We will still need a second player.
-
So in terms of nominations, I have one- name is McKay and he is very active in an ottoneu basketball league and happens to be Paul Dano's brother-in-law and a friend of several others (Kenton, Ian, Me, etc.) . I'll ask him if he is interested. Does anyone know anyone from area around here who would be interested? If you have other suggestions more than happy to consider someone from yalls circle or locally here.
-
Well thanks both for your presence and activity over the years! We'll get started looking for replacements. If you ever change your mind and want back in, feel free to message me and when we have another opening I'll let you know.
-
It is so
-
Say it ain't so Ben. RIP- two owners who have been here since first year are leaving? End of an era
-
I’m out too
-
Sorry to hear that, DK. We'll have to get started on finding a replacement then. Does anyone have someone to nominate?
-
Hey y'all, I think I'm going to step away from the league, if you have a good replacement. Kid #2 is almost here and I devote less time than I'd like to my team. I'm happy to proceed however you all would like to replace me. I know arbitration is coming up. I'm happy to do that or if you want to do a quicker turnaround, that's fine, too.
-
To put it another way: I think if someone in the league consistently makes moves that warrant veto votes (as some in this league hand them out) then that person shouldn't be in the league. They should either be trusted with a team—that is, to build that team how they wish—or they shouldn't.
-
I guess our disagreement is I want to break apart the veto and "think someone is getting ripped off." A veto should be reserved for trades that clearly disrupt some balance in the league, usually in the form of some nefarious moves (e.g., I decide I want to quit the league, but want Ike to win so I give him my good players). You can think someone is getting ripped off without thinking the trade worthy of veto.
-
If for some reason 7 people think a trade is imbalanced enough that a trade does get vetoed and people think I'm getting ripped off, I'd probably trust it and ask for a little more.
If 7 people think I'm ripping someone off, they are probably right and I should put something else of value into the trade.
If veto ever happens after deadline, I'm sure we can always find a solution where the team gives a little more and commissioner can push through.
-
I hear what you are saying but I think there has been no trade that has even had multiple veto votes this year. It is unlikely we all share values on when to or when not to veto trades. We can address this if it ever becomes a problem.
-
I guess my point is: let managers run their own teams. I'm fine if you want to share your opinion on a trade or move, of course. But when attempts are made to stop one of our managers from making moves because their tally of the trade doesn't line up with your spreadsheet, that's silly. If managers are making sufficiently bad trades that screw up the league, that manager should be booted. Otherwise, let them make their own evaluations.
-
Drew, I think the annoying thing about the vetos is a lot more trades would get vetoed if everyone in the league thought like you guys do. Trades don't get vetoed because half the league (myself included) hardly ever considers it (except in extreme cases). Even if vetos haven't happened, it's unsettling to make a trade and see 5 veto votes—especially, like last year, when I saw it on deadline day.
-
I'm not sure why you assumed my message was an attempt to "shout you down." I was genuinely asking. You implied Kenton already had the league won but also voiced displeasure at him trading cheap players for much better (but much more expensive) players. Maybe you think Kenton didn't get *enough* for those players, but he clearly gave up *some* future value to get them. My point was: if this year's already over, some future value is better than none.
