Haha saw the comment on the trade and was very confused. Will figure out a way to undo no worries
-
If you need evidence of my intent I wrote “I don’t get what’s in it for me.”
-
Hey guys, I accidentally accepted instead of rejected a trade offer for Jon India. Can we veto? I was on my phone and my thumb hit the wrong button.
-
Sorry I missed the draft but I suppose it’s only to my detriment. I entered the draft room late (after getting my children to bed) but couldn’t bid or nominate. Anyway, I’ll try to spend my $25 dollars as best I can. 😂. Glad baseball is back!
-
Anybody having draft room issues? I can get in, but now it doesn't show any teams
-
Anybody need any additional time? see a few teams not in here yet
-
I’m good with what ever everyone wants to do.

I’m totally happy to sit out the draft. Won’t break my heart. If you really really want Brantley or Myers catch em on the wire.
-
Yeah, my plan was to just roll with my current team sans Michael Brantley and Wil Myers. I cut most of my terrible terrible deals in Jan / Dec, forgot that I was still over the cap by a few bucks — didn’t know what the deal was because of the lockout.
-
For what it's worth, I'm good with whatever. I personally don't have a problem waiving it and letting him drop a couple of peeps. Life is all over the place and things get forgotten. But I understand the perspective of not letting him cut those guys. I think if he was trying to cut 8 or 10 players and clear away hundreds of bucks that would be weird but if he just wants to cut Xander, that's cool... X will still have a job despite the Story deal :-)
-
If that’s the case then they will certainly be bargains at half price, and you wouldn’t have gotten them for $1
-
He’s not dropping anybody with inflated salary bc he doesn’t have any of those guys lol
-
It doesn’t hurt the league at all, in fact it helps us because not cutting bloated players severely hurts otto de fé’s overall team value. If the players out there have a too high asking price at their half salary then they sit on the wire and it doesn’t matter. If they were cut ahead of time they COULD have been had at value in the draft but they also could have been more expensive. The only reasonable thing to do is let it ride imo.
-
What is the normal protocol for missing the cut deadline or waiting until the day of the draft? We’re you planning on not drafting? Rolling with current team after getting under the cap?

But if they are cut after draft, you will have to pay X amount instead of auction starting at $1 in draft.
-
I promise it won’t be anyone too exciting …
-
I can tell everyone who I’m going to cut and you can decide if you want to save $$ for them
-
Isn’t that basically the same as normal in-season cuts though?
-
Well our suggestion was not let you draft(not going to have much money anyway and you could fill roster post draft) but if players cut aren’t available in draft, it hurts us all bc those players aren’t available until post draft and then go into blind auction.
-
But we’re not sure when rosters unlock and I’d be able to make cuts. Consensus seems to be that you can’t cut till after the draft which means I’d just sit out tonight and release a few of my boys into the free agent pool once the draft. I’m not thrilled about the idea of sacrificing Cole or Ohtani just so I can draft.
-
@DLFC There is a way for the commish to cut players ahead of the draft but then I’d get off scott free for getting my wires crossed re: keepers. Most of the proposals in the chat are suggesting that I should receive a penalty for screwing up the deadline (which, fair).
-
Will the players cut be available in the draft? Is there a way for the commish to cut said players early?
-
I’m fine with cutting during draft if the system lets you do that. I just don’t think it lets cuts til after the draft. Either way I’m fine with letting it roll as is- cuts made during draft or after.
-
I’m just gonna sit out unless ottoneu lets me cut during the draft if that’s amenable to all.
-
Spoiler alert: I’m only gonna make one or two cuts and with the cap penalty I’ll have like $4 to spend. If ya’ll wanna be big meanies I can just not draft!
-
Uhh, seems like there’s a pretty simple solution here fellas. Rosters unlock during the draft, I make my cuts then, take the cap penalty and then I win the league at a slow trot. Let’s just stick with the protocol ottoneu lays out for us instead plucking new rules from the ether? If there’s gonna be a penalty we should have figured that earlier than, checks notes, the day of the draft.
-
Couldn’t you not spend money at the draft and gain the edge? We all have access to the same info here.
-
If we go with the SOL method, and he cuts after the draft that benefits teams that didn’t spend money on the draft. I think there has to be some penalty for missing the deadline. Maybe he has to drop players to get under and then he cannot draft.

I say no cuts, or he gets to cut all he wants without cap penalties, so long as the league gets to vote on cutting 3 players off his roster by vote.
-
My vote is either SOL or cut the most expensive contract.
-
I believe he is SOL being over the cap, since no cuts are allowed until after the draft. If the league would like to extend a lifeline I know there was a specific Player he planned on cutting but the change in dates bc of lockout had him forget. Would need unanimous lifeline approval from the league.
-
Draft time works! What about Otto-da-fé being over cap?
-
We are set for Sunday 7pm EST. Let me know if we need to push back for anyone
-
waiting on response from Red Dog, but everyone else seems alright with the 20th. 7pm est makes sense but if anyone has obligations let me know and we can plan for later
-
20th works for us.... have we set a time yet?
-
20th works for me too!
-
Works for me.

That’d work for me

Riffing off of the dates floating around, would the evening (i.e., 7 or 8PM EST) on Sunday the 20th work for peeps?
-
Same here, can't on 6, 13, 27 and 31, all the other dates are OK

Sorry scratch that - the 13th is the most complicated day for me (doing a start-up otto league draft that day). So could manuevre something with the 6th and 20th, if needed but available most of the other days in March. I'm EST too, if that is helpful to know.
