I'll be open for last minute offers until around 11pm est. After that I'll be doing a final once over the roster and start making cuts.
-
Last reminder, TONIGHT at midnight EST (9pm PST) you must have your rosters cut back down to a legal state in preparation for the draft (i.e. 40 or less players and under $400 in cap). There are no additional transactions allowed after that time until after the draft. I'll send out a doodle poll for draft availability in the next few days.
-
Tuesday night (1/31) is the deadline for cuts. Cut 'em while you can!
-
We only have two owners who need to pay their league fees (and you know who you are!) so after that we'll get to planning the draft. I like early drafts just to change things up. We did late February last year. Please let me know if you are against that idea and we can talk it through. Thanks everyone.
-
Hi All. Apologies for being quieter than normal this off-season, but work has been 24/7. I am definitely looking forward to season and will get paid up by the weekend. I will update my trade block over the next day or so to see I can get nay trades done in the last week.

Welcome to 2023 everyone! Our league is largely intact from last year, which is great, so I'm looking forward to another great season. With that in mind it's time to pay up! Everyone please take a moment and pay your annual fee as soon as possible - that way we will absolutely, positively know who is coming back. Thanks everyone for making this easy - once everyone pays we can move on to planning a draft date.
-
Merry Christmas to all my fellow owners.

Welcome Papi. How the heck do you keep track of all the teams you own?
-
Happy Thanksgiving to all my fellow owners.
-
Just a friendly reminder that tonight is the last day for arbitration. Thanks.
-
It's Arbitration time! Before you check out on baseball for a while make sure you jack up the contracts of your rivals! Also, if you plan on NOT coming back next year please let me know ASAP so that I can bring in a replacement owner.
-
Congrats to the Cat Hoarders. I looked at the global leaderboard and you finished with the 17th highest roto score of all leagues. Nice work. I tried to ride a hot start to 2nd place but injuries etc. burned me in the end. Better then the bottom two where I finished the last two years!
-
Congrats on the win Cat Hoarders, complete domination.
-
Well done Hoarders, well done.
-
Congratulations to the Cat Hoarders who just had the afterburners going all season. I’ll be smelling the burnt fur until January.
-
Congrats Cat Hoarders!! You kicked all our asses all year long - wire to wire. As great as it was (for you) hopefully we can keep him from running away with it next year - there’s nothing more fun than a competitive league. Next up arbitration everyone.
-
Happy 4th of July to my fellow owners. Enjoy the day and be safe.

There was a problem earlier this year with waivers being processed, but it was supposed to have been fixed. I’ve also thought I made claims and bids, and the system didn’t register them. iPads can be a bit unreliable.
-
Good morning, I have a question about waivers. There were a number of players cut from March 29 to March 31. I put a claim in for one of those players. As of this morning, the player is still out there and is now in the free-agent pool and can be brought up for auction. He wasn't awarded to anyone. I was under the impression that if I put a claim in, as long as no one with a high waiver priority put a claim in, then within 24 hours the player would be awarded to me.

Good auction everyone... oh what the hell do I know
-
Corner - waiting on you.
-
20 minutes to draft.
-
Draft is in one hour. Let's get ready to go!
-
Draft Day!
-
I also updated my email so I would more likely see future postings!
-
Sorry I missed the poll, but the draft date works for me!
-
Tuesday, March 29, 2022 8:30 PM EDT has been chosen as the draft date. No, I do not believe the season will start on time so that's why I've chosen a date after MLB Opening Day. If things miraculously change over the next few days then we can improvise.
-
7 out of the 12 of us have done the draft date poll. I want to lock this down soon so that availability does not change. I will choose a date based on current feedback on Saturday. Please participate in the poll prior to that so that I have a good feel for when everyone is available. Thanks.
-
E-mail received and votes submitted. Note - availability is subject to change if date is not locked before another league I am in locks theirs. Thanks.
-
It's time to start thinking about the draft! I'm sending out a poll for people to vote on days that work for them. You should have received an email - here's the link otherwise - https://doodle.com/poll/y7ssxws4699ip3qw?utm_source=poll&utm_medium=link. CBA or no CBA, let's not let this ruin draft season.
-
Everyone please reset your trade blocks. Specifically remove any players from your block that are no longer on your team to help avoid confusion. Thank you.
-
needed a clean slate
-
Welcome back to the league Crackpots/Volts!
-
And with those cuts the auction just got a lot more interesting.
-
Cuts done... I was bummed I checked out for so long, I had put in years perfecting my mediocrity
-
As far as this owner is concerned the past is the past. Welcome to the league. Remember you only get one round of free cuts so make it count.
-
I just claimed Mrad Biller. Full disclosure, I was a former owner for the past several seasons of the Pen Joss Crackpots. I didn't mean to ghost and plan to make the most of this second oppertunity!
-
I have few league setting up March drafts regardless of what happens to the CBA. I'm good with whatever the league decides to do just note that waiting for a CBA to be finalized before setting a date may not be the best idea.
-
Now that we have passed cut day we have two items to work out. 1) Mrad Biller needs an owner. If you know anybody that might want to join the league, please have them claim the team. They will be able to drop players with no penalty. 2) There is still no CBA, but we can start to talk draft date concepts. Once a CBA is signed things will move very fast, there will be lots of Ottoneu drafts happening in a condensed period of time. So we should be ready for whatever happens.
-
Well at least the only invalid roster is the one that needs an owner. Should be some good bid wars with only 3 teams under $100 to spend.
-
I will be out of contact with internet from about 6pm to 7pm est. If you send me an offer please be patient and I will get back with you as quickly as I can. Thanks.
-
I don't do final cuts until an hour or so before deadline - still time to make offers.
-
Just a reminder to everyone that the deadline to make your offseason cuts and get your rosters legal is 11:59PM EST, Feb 15th. As a reminder, no transactions are allowed afterwards until the draft concludes. Note, if a trade is accepted prior to that deadline it will still go through even if the processing time is after the deadline (but you will have to keep everyone involved in that trade!)
-
Open for business for those last-minute trade offers. Thanks.
-
It has been stated on the community board that those that run the Ottoneu system (not our commish) will NOT be extending the keeper deadline any further - the 15th is final. This is because some leagues still want to hold their draft in mid-late February. The system will not allow drafts to occur until after the keeper deadline. Again, the commish has no control over the deadline. Just giving owners a heads up in case you were holding off on trade deals thinking the deadline would be extended.
-
Welcome to the league Jolly Elves. We hope you enjoy it. Get ready to make some trades!!
-
Welcome to the new owner of Crackpots!
-
The deadline to renew teams have passed. I will set the two teams as abandoned this evening - Pen Joss Crackpots and Mrad Biller. I have an owner on the hook for one team. If you know anyone who wants to join have them hop in.
-
Just a quick reminder, the deadline to renew your teams for 2022 is in five days. Thanks to the eight managers who have done so already. Hopefully everyone else is planning to return as well (if not please let me know ASAP), so please don't forget!
