Generous, I respect you as a great player of this Otto game but even you have to read what you wrote and realize you are incorrect lol. It has EVERYTHING to do with how many spots and how much money you have. This is a game of efficiency and making the most profitable roster is a $/player game.
-
Really doesn't have anything to do with how many spots or how much money I have. In fact, I had a conflict with the first proposed time. I stated as much and Tigres proposed a different time. Really straightforward and did not require any bitching on my part.
-
If I had $14 to spend on 12 people I wouldn't care when we drafted, Generous. Same with Cosby's $16 for 5 people. How I spend my $41 on 16 people shifts my entire season. I'd have like more than a quick chat scan of dates and times. Inn your shoes I am probably not attending no matter what. Thanks for the input.
-
Lol I think commish did fine as well. Maybe I'm missing something but I don't see how it's a "get fucked" response. Seems like IL expressed a preference for 7pm vs 8pm a couple times, but others had a preference for 8pm. Obviously if we're trying to get 12 people in a draft room we need to navigate conflicts but we don't really have the luxury of navigating preferences. If you have an actual conflict, you should say that.
-
I have 16 spots to fill and am not fine with the times at which those 16 spots will be filled (late in draft). Like I said, I will find an alternative to make it work. I won't be quiet about the complete lack of alternative times or slots or days that were presented
-
And I think commish did well in my humble opinion
-
I’m fine with the date I only have 5 spots to fill. I just would appreciate the one hour gap btw drafts. Also I have no enemies!
-
I know we're enemies in this league but it sounds like that day is also bad for you? And probably wouldn't have registered if we did a doodle?
-
I have another draft at 7 so 8 is the earliest I can join, and even then I’ll probably be multi tasking
-
As a LM in other leagues (esp. without a doodle in this league) I will say this feels like a "get fucked" response. Not a single effort made to reconsider alternative times or dates. I'll find a sub drafter or something to make it work, but the lack of consideration for the remaining 40% of my roster is unappreciated
-
OK. i set MARCH 9, 8PM ET as our draft time. we had a similar player amount last season and we were just a bit under two hours. this should still be a fair time frame. thanks everyone for the input and help and coordinating. im looking forward to the draft and coming season, hope everyone is well enough. good luck out there
-
3/9 at 8pm works for me

Later the better for me.
-
Is 7p off the table? We've got 147 roster vacancies to fill and that's gonna take a few hours.
-
3/9 at 8pm works for me

sunday march 9, 8pm est, draft date has strong traction here. for the last few teams, please comment in if this will not work for you. hopefully it will, and ill place it into the system here soon enough. thanks for everyones input and quick responses.
-
I would prefer March 9 but march 10 is doable
-
Thanks for the flexibility. I can do any of Sat 3/8, Sun 3/9 or Mon 3/10 if they're evening drafts. I do have other evening drafts on the Sun and Mon but I think I should be able to multi-task.
-
I'm good with any weekend night, 7pm ET or later.

I'm good that weekend but would much prefer 7p EST if it's a Sunday or weeknight.
-
3/9 at 8:00pm EST is my preference
-
Pretty much wide open as long as it’s after 6pm or so. 8pm on Sunday sounds perfect but I’m flexible
-
March 9 or 10 is fine with me

OK GC, we can try to target the weekend before? would the league prefer sunday march 9, or monday march 10? possibly the saturday march 8? 8pm est is likely best but we can swing an hour either way if necessary?
-
March 17 8:00 PM works for me.
-
Although actually I have almost no dough to spend in this league, so while I’d prefer to be there for dollar days, I’ll survive if something before 3/14 is not an option.
-
I’m not available 3/14 - 3/23 - traveling during kids’ spring break. Pretty flexible weekday and weekend evenings otherwise as long as I don’t have another draft.
-
I’m fine waiting until March, but would prefer to draft on the weekend. Maybe 3/15 or 3/16? Is 8:00PM EST?
-
OK lets give this a ride on draft day time discussion. id wait and would offer out monday March 17 8pm. this gets us the day before the japan series and later into spring training information. If this doesnt work for you, please offer out a few replacement dates that will work for you, and we can try to whittle our way through, if by the end of the week or so we cant find a consensus we may have to do a doodle board. please let me know your opinions. thanks
-
aye; tonight 1/31 just before midnight eastern is the player cut deadline and ottoneus renewal deadline for league fees. a few teams still need to take care of either cuts to get legal or pay their dues. but everyone appears to be active and logged in today and most days, so im assuming just holding out for the clock. we can talk draft dates on monday [as i appear busy this weekend] glgl
-
Scratch that. I see it written above.

Do we have until tomorrow night to make the cuts or when officially?

Sorry I haven't responded to a couple trade requests. I was out of country and had no access. Back in USA and will get to it. Meant to send a note to everyone but got away from me.

There’s a pretty active forum too, check the community link in the upper right
-
I would read through this link, https://ottoneu.fangraphs.com/rules
-
Welcome! Happy you’re here. Thanks for taking the last team and filling the league. Holler if you have any questions - the guys have been helpful in my learning process so far. Looking forward to playing with you.
-
Who do I send the money to? Is there anyone willing to text and answer some of my questions as I read and learn?

Welcome, everything is managed here. Would recommend reading the rules section as well as all the articles on fangraphs about Ottoneu. I don’t think it’s too easy to find but if you search you can find a ton of content here and elsewhere. Thanks for joining, glad the league is finally full again!
-
I see 2 trade offers. Let me take in all the rules and everything and then I can respond to them.

Hi! Thanks for having me! I am brand new to the site. Is everything done through this site? I see Standings below the box I am writing this message. Do I draft, set rosters etc all on this site? Is there an app? I am a fantasy baseball veteran just new to the format/platform. I’m a quick learner and will be ready to dominate shortly. Thank you!

Gotcha, thanks for clarifying!
-
Correct, rosters are locked after the 1/31 keeper deadline, so any player not cut by the deadline has to stay on your roster until the draft is complete (and will therefore count against your $400 budget during the draft)
-
Thanks guys. Am I understanding correctly that we keep all players we do not cut before 1/31?
-
Welcome aboard! Good luck out there. Have no fear, the league is ripe for the taking.
-
Welcome!
-
Hey guys, I’ve claimed Big Papi Memories. Thanks for having me, looking forward to playing with you all. Looks like I need to seriously rebuild - let’s make some deals.
-
I've abandoned Paging Dr Andrews and Big Papi memories due inactivity, they are free to claim for those interested on the claim teams page.
