You'd think the former commissioner would know the rules. But alas back to legal. Looking for RP and OF depth.

Everything fine, thank you!
-
No, the only way to return a team to a legal state is to cut players. The only action a team in an illegal state can take is to cut players. Ottoneu rule 1b. Sorry.
-
Am I not allowed to offer trades when my roster is illegal? What if I wanted to use that as the way to get legal?

Ok Nippes you are good to go. Please take a look at your team and verify everything is correct to you.

We have to fix the cap penalties for Nippes. Somehow, some of his cuts from the end of 2021 are showing up as cap penalties.

We have a majority that have voted no so I will not implement the extra cap dollars after the draft. Thanks for voting everyone.

No vote!

With the lockout I see MLB free agents getting signed late if not at all and players getting drafted and then hurt before spring training starts. If anyone drafts players that fall into these buckets the teams cap space becomes stressed before the season even starts potentially causing manager to loose interest which is why I wanted share this tool we have at our disposal. I personally don't have a preference either way but I wanted to share that we can do this type of maneuver. Cheers

I'm leaning no but truthfully not sure I understand the reasoning behind the idea. What is the argument for the change? Just to provide more flexibility?

If I understand correctly, you're proposing that we raise the salary cap this year to $405? If that's what's happening, then I'm also going to vote no. If that's wrong, let me know and I'll reconsider
-
No, please. Five dollars isn’t going to mean much when it comes time to bid on Suzuki.
-
With the lockout I am proposing this salary manipulation idea to provide managers flexibility to recover from a draft being completed prior to spring training.
(After the draft is completed per the ottoneu rules, I subtract 1$ from each teams top 5 point earners from 2021, providing 5 additional cap dollars. At the end of the season prior to Arbitration I can add the $ back. Please respond yes or no on this idea. I will implement if I get a majority vote from the league. Thanks SJS

Draft will be held next Saturday at 4pm Central. Players will be nominated by managers, using the previous season's reverse order of finish. We will use the three strike rule again for nominations. If you miss a turn I will unlock you. After three misses you will be locked out of the draft. When you are done drafting remember to select the box next to "Im done with the draft" and you will be skipped in the nomination order. Break times will be at 5 & 6pm for 10 minutes each.

Here's a hot taek: I don't mind that the first week of the season is cancelled. I wouldn't mind if the first month is cancelled. Do you know how many Opening Days I've been to that have been miserably cold, rainy or even snow? Let's start the season in May.

Minor adjustment to draft time. It has been moved 1hr to allow all teams to participate.

Yes, please keep the date. For sure it’s not perfect. But the following three weekends I am already occupied…
-
I am open to moving it to the 26 or 27th of march provided i get 100% buy in from all manager so everyone would need to reply yes or no soon as I imagine shuffling peoples schedule is difficult.

Chris, sent you a message.. basically I am giving you until Thursday to make penally free cuts. We have done this in the past for manager that joined after the keeper deadline. Being that your late to the game I feel this is fair and promotes a competitive balance.

There, if you have any ideas in the next few hours, I’m open to hearing. The team’s a little unbalanced, but that’s part of its charm.
-
Chris, welcome to the league. You will need to be at or below $400 dollars and at or below 40 players.

Hello, I’m Chris. I’ve just claimed Open Team #2. I hope this won’t be a problem. I’m just going to make a few cuts.
-
With approx. 36 hours before the keeper (trade) deadline, I'm taking offers on a $48 Gerrit Cole and a $3 Marco Luciano. Happy to move other players too. Always in the mood to shake things up!

Per the Ottoneu founder the keeper deadline will remain the 15th of Feb.
As far as new managers my community post has 115 views with no takers. Hopefully after the super bowl things will pick up. Roll Tribe has also volunteered to post on slack so I think we have decent awareness out there for our league.
Cheers

Below is an older Keeper post from the Ottoneu Community by nivshah (Ottoneu Founder)
(This is not a final keeper deadline; I’ll continue to monitor the negotiations and see if a second delay makes sense towards the end of January.)
I believe the take away is that there could be another extension on the keeper deadline of Feb 15th.

Thanks to 3701 for picking up the commish mantle. I have really enjoyed this league over the past four years and am sad to leave it, but I know I will appreciate the extra sleep I will get this summer. Stay well all.
-
I have volunteered as commish. The draft will remain the 2nd weekend of March as last year. The draft will occur on March 12 at 3pm set time.

So, if anyone has had an epiphany that this is exactly what they want to do; or even if you are just thinking that you could take it on, please message me. Thanks.

Happy New Year! I hope everyone had a nice, even relaxing, holiday season. Now that we are into the new year, the need to find a new commissioner for this league becomes more urgent. I know this is a weird offseason with the lockout and the unknowns about when baseball will even start again, but our teams will all need to be renewed by January 31, as usual. I am not sure what happens if the commissioner's team is not renewed, but it is probably better if we do not find out.
-
Happy New Year, everyone! Hope y’all are enjoying the holiday season. Stay safe, and best wishes for the year to come!

I have enjoyed my time in this league, but, it is time for me to move on. I stayed through arbitration and the beginning rush of winter trading. The team is in good shape with young talent and plenty of salary cap room.
