could you abandon my team please?
-
Arbitration ends in just over 24 hours. There are 3 teams have not completed their arbitration. I doubt one team will complete arbitration. The other two teams are in good shape for next year, and should complete their arbitration. Your commissioner thanks you.

At some point I will spell the name of that team correctly: Strikeouts are Fascist.

Welcome to the new owner of Strikeouts are Facist. I am happy to see that you have already done your allocations. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me or post them on the board.

It is November 1 as I write this, which means there are 2 weeks to go in arbitration. Your commissioner notes there are 6 teams that have not yet done their arbitration. This includes Strikesout are Facist which has been abandonned. I ask that the teams who have not done arbitration please do so. Thank you so much.

You ask the commissioner to abandon your team. And I will do so promptly. Best wishes for the future.

Arbitration has begun. If you need some direction, I will recommend these articles from Chad Young in Fangraphs: https://fantasy.fangraphs.com/revisiting-ottoneu-arbitration-strategies-part-i/ https://fantasy.fangraphs.com/revisiting-ottoneu-arbitration-strategies-part-ii/

Hey all,
I just took over for Hot Corner. Looks like I’m in leagues with a few of you already, so I’m looking forward to competing with you here! Hope everyone is enjoying the playoffs and getting ready for arb!
-
At Hot Corner’s request, I have abandoned his team. If anyone else does not want to continue, please let me know. The more owners we have in the arbitration process the better. As you can see, the position eligibility for all players have been updated. I recommend Chad Young’s article on FanGraphs - https://fantasy.fangraphs.com/ottoneu-position-gainers/ - for a summary of the changes.

Congrats to the winners on a great season. Due to a new business venture, I was not able to stay as active as I would have liked. I do not expected much to change going forward, so I am taking a step back from fantasy baseball. It has been fun, but please abandon my team at your convenience.
-
Thanks all! It was a fun season. Appreciate the work, too, commish.

It’s indeed your pen now! That was a great season My Pen! And it was a great season from the rest of the league. It was a scramble to get the season underway, but I think the season has gone smoothly. I will be back in the next few days to go over some off-season housekeeping. In the meantime: My Pen!

Hi all. Brice Turang is on my Trade Block. Happy to talk about him in a deal, but he’d likely have to be attached to another player/salary to make it work.
-
As my first order of business, some of the star power on my team is officially on the Trade Block. I don't have specific asks in mind, so I'd be willing to chat about any multitude of potential packages.
-
Hi, all. Happy to hop in and join y'all. As I get acclimated, I'll try to respond as quickly as possible to any trade requests. New team branding will be on the way soon, too: a new era begins!
-
Please welcome the new owner of Pinch-hit Big Flies. I hope he will introduce himself shortly. We now have a full league. Again, thank you for patience and support.

The draft has ended. My thanks to everyone in the league for a smooth, enjoyable draft. My thanks to 5TOOLER for building a competitive team. We now have to find a worthy owner.

Hi All, I should be in the auction tonight but I am at an airport waiting on a delayed flight. Worst case, I log in via airplane wifi. That said, if I am not in the room right at the start, then please start without me and I will be there as soon as able.
-
appreciate it sounds good
-
thanks Prairie and 5tooler for this innovative solution

Nothing sketchy here. Going to get the neglected squad ready for the auction. Participate in the auction, then leave the team in decent shape for the next owner that takes over. I get to build a team in 48 hours and the rest of the league gets to compete against a full array of teams rather than having one sit unattended.
-
its not a money league so do what you gotta do i guess
-
lol that doesnt sound sketchy at all

If you have any questions, please ask.

I have some good news, and I have some weird news. The good news is that the excellent Ottoneu player 5TOOLER has volunteered to make the cuts and do the draft for Steroid Users. To make this happen, I had to create a second account, claim the team and make 5TOOLER the co-manager. I will not make any moves of any kind with Steroid Users. After tomorrow's draft, the team will revert to being open for a new manager, although the new manager will not have to pay 2023 fees.

interesting. hopefully they're aware before the claim..either way the 23rd works for me.
-
We will not wait for the last team to get claimed. Unless we want to lock it for the year, it will be available to be claimed after the draft. I have seen many cases where one team does not draft and has to make do for the following year. I have played those teams myself. It’s a rebuilding year. In this case, the rest of the league has to be aware that some of those expensive players may suddenly come on the market following cuts. Let’s hope someone claims the team before the dream.

are we going to wait until the last team gets claimed or just go with 11 teams? roster has some good pieces but also over the cap
-
I have set the draft for Thursday, February 23 at 8 PM eastern. If anyone has any problems, let me know ASAP.

There have six responses to the Doodle poll, although one response only only checked off the first choice. The first choice, next Thursday, February 23 at 8 PM eastern has been checked off by everyone who did the poll. The timelines are tight if we select that date. We have four teams that haven’t participated in the poll. It’s unlikely we will fill the open that quickly. Thoughts? Suggestions?
Prairie Suns on

There does not seem to be any enthusiasm for a slow draft, so please fill out this doodle poll ASAP for available times for a regular draft: https://doodle.com/meeting/participate/id/eEqppE4e. We are still down one owner. We have to decide what we want to do with the team if an owner does not claim before the draft. Our options are to leave the team open after the draft and hope an owner claims the team afterwards or lock the team until after the season. Thoughts?
Prairie Suns on

either style of draft is fine with me
-
We have one team to fill, and then I will send out a poll. Is there any interest in a slow draft on couchmanagers?

February and first two weeks of March work best for me

Draft day?

Hey there. I’m taking over the team that was abandoned. I’ll have the roster up to date shortly. I’m looking forward to the season.

As promised, the Dukes and Deep Drive are now abandonned. I am waiting for some response from I Love Steroid Users. If you know anyone who wants a team...

Hot Corner is correct that the teams will fill. The league is fine. Unless I hear an objection tonight, they will be abandoned first thing tomorrow.
Prairie Suns on

The platform will abandon them over the next day or two. I say just do it now. The teams will get picked up at some point. I have played Ottoneu for many years. There will a long list of teams available once the non-payers get processed but it is rare that leagues do not fill. Takes time but they fill.
-
I think those teams need to be in a position, to be opened up, for acquisition by someone else. I'm fairly new to Ottoneu but allowing those teams to be picked up by an active manager should be the goal. Forgive me is that is already in motion. Otherwise, it sounds like the league has a chance to fold... the real question is... What would Tom Cruise do !!??!!??!!
