I have no problem with turning it off to avoid the auto-boot - but if someone is going to play the 'not going to nom anyone' game keeping the clock ticking for them to do nothing does waste everyone's time
-
I say we turn it off so people don’t get kicked out, like the old days.
-
1pm the 23rd it is, thanks for the feedback everyone.
Do we use the “Require Nominations” feature this year or no? I think we have had it off the last few drafts
-
Anytime on 23rd is great

2 (EST) on Sunday the 23rd is awesome. 1PM can also work.
-
anytime on the 23rd is fine with me.
-
I'd need it be a little later than noon on Sunday. 1 or 2pm (EST).
-
How is early afternoon Sunday the 23rd, say, 12 pm ET?
-
havent seen a no on sunday the 23rd yet
-
Can’t do the 22nd
-
Unless someone speaks up with a conflict, I think we should just go ahead and set the draft for Sat., Feb 22. Snickle?
-
Cleanup has to complete the auction before late March, or he can't add a new player

Also, Feb 22nd I'm now free pretty much all night after 6PM EST.
-
Congrats on the baby, Cleanup!
-
I’ve got a baby due in late March so Feb is preferable for me as well

I'd be down with drafting in Feb. I am available Feb 22nd (after 9PM Eastern) and all of Feb 23rd. Can also do Feb 29 and March 1st.
-
I'm good with most draft days, prefer end of feb.

I can’t do Feb 14-17, but the following weekend, Feb 22–23 is fine.
-
If early March doesn't seem to work, how about mid/late Feb. Weekend of 15/16 or 22/23. We all have a notion of keeper value now - projections will all be on-site in a week or so, SuperBowl will be over tomorrow and pitchers/catchers report in a couple weeks. It might be interesting to have a spring training where we're all still competitive and can trade and start auctions and see value changes rather than sit on our thumbs with rosters we can't adjust

Re: draft, I would very much appreciate that it not happen from March 11th to 15th. Any other time in March works for me.
-
Welp - time to schedule the draft! If anyone has any range of dates, or a specific day of the week that does not work please let us know.
-
Welcome!
-
Hey Fella's, gimme a day to get up to speed with the team, then send them offers my way

Also - maybe rename the team to something descriptive for the abandoned page? Like Deep Pitching Need Bats. The current name means nothing in the middle of a page of other team names that mean nothing. At least with new name a prospective owner knows its only a turnaround not a two year project.
-
I don't do twitter or any other social media stuff so I can't really help
-
What they need is for Brad Johnson to write an 'otto strategy' or keepers or 'new to otto' post for rotographs. Last one he did was early Dec when no one at all is paying attention to baseball. Got to be other leagues that need a slot or two filled as well before keepers but that abandoned teams page needs traffic and rotographs is the only way it can get that.
-
Indeed - 2 Fogheads is open. I had the ottoneu baseball twitter account RT my plea for help finding an owner, we are listed on the abandoned team sites, i've asked around. Running out of ideas!
-
Fogheads the team that's open? doesn't look like a big rebuild - good deep pitching, just needs a trade or two for bats. but yeah - the trade window closes in a couple days so not much time. Wonder if FG is gonna post something on their front page re Otto teams that need owners. That's what would get traffic but they've been quiet re otto posts this offseason
-
You're all welcome

Still need 1 owner - i am not sure how to fill this last spot. Also waiting on Otto Noobs allocation $$, but Kekemba submitted this, which i am going to allocate right now: Otto Noobs +$2 to Luis Robert, Lucille +$2 to Max Kepler, Fogheads +$3 to Blake Snell, Fielding +$3 to Pete Alonso, Bomb +$1 to Giovanny Urshela, Cleanup +$2 to Jack Flaherty, Otto-da +$3 to Matt Olson, Rogue +$2 to Chris Paddack, Kokomo +$3 to Jeff McNeil, Dana +$1 to Rafael Devers, and finally to Snicklefrit +$3 to Hiura
-

Any timeline for when the manual arb dollars will show up on our rosters?
-
Sounds good to me. On another note, holy stealing signs scandal in Houston! Suspended and then fired! Wowsa.
-
Trading kinda complicates things, but I think we will just have to have a clause that the players needed to have been on the rosters as of Nov 15th or whenever our normal arbitration period ended.
-
No objection from me, seems fair
-
Anyone object to the manual arbitration $$ for Kekamba, Otto Noobs, and 2 Fogheads (if we fill prior to deadline)? If no objections prior to Jan 16th, I will get their list and publish it / add those dollars over the weekend.
-
Thanks Kekambas! It has been a journey turning that team around :-)
-
Hey ya everyone! Excited to join! I’m having a look over everything and stoked to start wheeling and dealing :-)
Have a good one!
-
Kekamba has brought up that he has seen owners who join after arb deadline do so manually, which would be a Commish manual adding of $$'s. I think I have an owner for Lucille & Otto Noobs joining this week. If anyone has a problem with them being able to participate in the allocation process (via manual additions) please let me know).
-
Welcome aboard Kekambas
-
Are we having any luck finding new managers? PS Who wants to trade?
-
Kokomo has a guy he said was interested, anyone else? I’ll reach around and get stuff posted on the forums this weekend (sorry been crazy busy lately)
-
Looks like we have to replace four owners. The three who didn't do arb and Lucille. I think if trading is gonna be a meaningful offseason event in Jan before keep/drop, that we need to find replacements now.
