League Message Board
-
Hi all - Apologies for not doing a normal end-of-season message. Work has been insane. Congrats to Mike! One of the more dominant championship seasons we've had and nice to see him grab it after being on the precipice in recent years. Another fun season in the books. Don't forget to do arb by Nov. 14 and renew your teams and make and trades by Jan. 31. I'll send an email as well for these points. Also, let me know if anyone is planning to leave the league ASAP so we can make plans. Thanks!
-
Just a heads up, I've noticed a few cuts that for some reason didn't result in cap penalties. Not really sure what the deal is, but I'm looking into it on the message board and will fix those three manually.
-
Yup, that’s what we’re planning now. The one issue I heard with that time has been resolved, so we should be good to go.
-
Would anybody have any issue with pushing it back to 8 pm CST? I went to the Rodeo this weekend to test out the new weekend showtimes, and i think i could make 8 easily. 7;30 might even work, but i think 730 would be pushing it. Hopefully that works since it is a sunday night.

3/17 at 8 EST is good for me too
-
The 17th (and 16th) both work for me
-
I am good for 8 pm EST on the 17th

Honestly the later time would actually work better for me too.
-
8pm EST vs 6pm EST.

Thanks. Tim, what time did you have in mind for later?
-
If you need to make it a couple hours later it's ok.

That might be tough given Toby’s schedule. How would people feel about having it earlier in the day, like maybe 2 or 3 CT? If not, we may need to do it on a Saturday or weeknight. I assume people would prefer a Saturday?
-
Sorry that I am late to the party, but can we push the draft back later if we are going to stick with the 3/17 date? I got rodeo tickets that night.

Ok we’re all set.
-
No I’ve been in touch with him, he just needs to renew the team. Looks like we’re 9 out of 12 for the 17th thus far. Let me know if 5 doesn’t work for anyone. Hopefully that time is a good balance.
-
Do we need an owner for Grit?

17th works for me

17 is great
-
Set the date/time tentatively for now as we await responses.
-
17th should work for me
-
3/17 works for me too.
-
17th is good with me

17th works, earlier the better because I wake up at 3 am the majority of the year. Thanks

Yeah I was planning to reach out this weekend. What would people think of the evening of 3/17? We normally try to do a Sunday evening.
-
I think we should draft before the 20th, but 3/10 is booked for me already.

Are we not drafting before the games in Korea on March 20th?
-
My other draft is 03/24, I would prefer another day. Thanks

Should we start coordinating a draft date? Opening Day is March 28. I would prefer any day except March 9-14, but I can make it work if absolutely necessary.
-
Anyone looking to make some deals before the keeper deadline?
-
Anyone want to do some trading? Don't forget, half the players you really want at auction are going to get snagged by someone with more cap space
-
Whatup Tucker. Welcome to the league bud
-
Hey everyone - Wanted to let you know that Tim's brother, Tucker, has replaced Steve as the owner of The Gout. Welcome Tucker! Hope you enjoy this league as much as the rest of us do.
-
Before you guys cut players put them on your trade block and see if you can get something for them.

That’s good news. Turns out my buddy won’t be able to join, so let’s get your brother signed up. If you want to send me his fangraphs user name once he makes it (or contact email and I can message him), I can add him today.
-
Let me know if we end up looking for anyone else to join the league. My little brother has been asking me to get him into this league for a couple of years, so I wanted to throw his name in the hat for next year. Great year guys!

Congrats on both, Terry. That's awesome
-
Thanks, everyone! Another fun season in the books. Looks like the normal offseason kickoff stuff (salary increaes, payouts, etc.) should be happening soon. If anyone other than Steve is planning to leave the league, please let me know and don't do the "abandon" function.
Colton, to answer your question, it's probably 60-40 towards baby haha. I was telling my wife how nice it was for him that he was going to be born into a world with a back-to-back champ dad.
-
Be honest Terry, what are you more excited about? Another Ottoneu title proving your dominance, or the birth of the beautiful baby boy? Gotta be ottoneu right? Congrats all around buddy
-
Now that Steve is leaving, should we rename the league Terry's house? HAHA. Congrats Terry!

Nice job, Terry! I assume the last inning of Marlins vs. Mets can’t change anything.

I believe my group has 1 or 2 suggestions but can follow up there. Also, it's trade deadline day boys, and my team once again blows. So come get your stretch run reinforcements, courtesy of the Fightin De La Cruzes
-
Sorry to see you go, Steve. It's been fun; we'll carry the torch and hopefully one of us will pass your number of rings at some point.
All - I was coincidentally just talking with a buddy a week or two ago who was interested if a spot opened up here and just confirmed he's interested. Feel free to reach out if there were other potential people (maybe from earlier windows I've forgotten), but we're set either way.
-
Friends — it’s been a very fun 11 years being in the league, but between my career and kids/marriage time’s gotten too tight. This’ll be the last season for me. Let Terry know if you have a friend that wants to take over this storied franchise.
