Hello all, new owner here. No drama here. I paid already. New name to come and will try to make cuts by tomorrow am. At work now and family business tonight. Team looks good. I see old owner didn't read any messages back to last April. I'm very active in otto. Good luck to all of you competing for 2nd place...Haha. Peace-out!

$100 tier Old School 5x5 leagues are highly desirable. If you look on the list of available teams, almost all are $20 leagues (with no prize payout). I anticipate these two teams will be scooped up quickly. Once they are, we will begin the process of selecting a draft date.

well apparently we had 2 teams that failed to renew..here's hoping they get taken over soon

I don't know if we're still debating this, but despite what The MasterBatters wrote on Feb. 3, he never did say something like "my bad" or "my apologies" for the late cuts. Had that happened, I would've been fine with the late cuts.
@The MasterBatters - Maybe just apology next time you screw up and this won't be a big deal.

I don’t have time for drama over being 12 minutes late making cuts for a season that may or may not start in two months. My cuts are obvious cuts and I have no advantage making them now. I haven’t looked at anyone else’s team to even see who is protected and available. Nor do I have that much time to research that anyway. I’m not that serious about it. I play for enjoyable entertainment. I try to play competitive but don’t really care enough to take the time to do that extra research.

I did say my bad when I posted earlier when I said I made an honest mistake. I can’t move on because instead of just making cuts like my other four leagues did, I’ve got a Commish trying to create a new rule with a penalty. Trying to make trades for those 2.5 months. Was thinking I had until midnight(didn’t think about the ET). That’s why I said it was an honest mistake. It’s stupid to debate this. Just make the cuts and move on. Or I could just get a refund and you’ll have a vacant spot.

Agree with GC on this. Nothing wrong with what commish stated in his post. I don't think penalties should be imposed for this isolated incident. However, I would have no problem with it if commish wanted to establish a rule to implement a penalty for future occurrences. Cutting after the deadline doesn't give a huge advantage, but I think we all would prefer to make our cuts with the knowledge of exactly what will be available in the auction. Not hard to see that there is a benefit there.
-
With all due respect I think a simple “sorry I fucked that up” would suffice. No need to come out guns blazing at the commish for doing what he should do, which is ask the league. I personally don’t have a problem with you making the cuts but I also don’t understand the attitude. You had 2.5 months to make cuts and you’re going to blame failure to do so on time zone? Come on. Everyone has stuff going on...just say my bad and move on.
-
Or I could just get a refund before the draft and then you’ll need another new owner. Then whatever new owner you get will come in and get that supposed advantage and make cuts. No reason to make a mountain out of a mole hill with this. Just make the cuts. Penalty? Really? WTF. I’ve got other stuff going on in life than to worry about drama in a fantasy baseball league. Stop overthinking it. Keep it simple.

Thanks to the owners for being understanding. It was an honest mistake. I don’t understand the need for research Commish. Just do what the other four leagues I’m in did and make the cuts. Penalty? Really? There is no advantage to me making cuts after the deadline. What is the advantage? I don’t need unnecessary drama in an extracurricular activity that is supposed to be fun. The rules also states the Commish should work with an owner to make cuts.

If cuts can be made to meet roster requirements, then it shouldn’t be a problem just making my intended cuts. Also, it just puts more players in the player draft pool. What’s the problem with that.

It was an honest mistake. I’ve got a lot on my plate right now. I thought I had until midnight CT which is my time midnight. Hell o went on the board to post that I messed up like 12 minutes after the deadline. Damn, what’s the big deal. Like I get some kind of advantage for cutting my on players a day later. I don’t. I’m in like 5 Ottoneu leagues and I missed in all 5. The other leagues just said post the cuts on the board and Commish fixed it.

He’s been in this league a long time and I take him at his word that it was an honest mistake. If the system allows him to still make cuts-I’d be in favor.

As for Master Batters missing the deadline, that's a tough one. Does anyone know of precedent for handling this? Doing a little research, it appears the standard Ottoneu rules mandate any owner who fails to make enough cuts before the roster freeze deadline must skip the auction and then make enough cuts after the auction to get below the $400 cap. If we decide to allow exceptions, I still believe there should be some sort of penalty, but I am not sure what is appropriate.
-
Geez, guys, what the heck is going on with this league?!? It looks like two teams didn't pay (Mayor Mac & Jews) and two didn't make cutdowns (Jews & Master Batters) before the deadline. None have asked to be abandoned that I am aware of. My understanding is Ottoneu will do it automatically after a 10-day grace period. I hate to assume anyone's intentions. It looks like Jews will be checking out, though he was on the site yesterday. Mayor Mac has even been on the site TODAY, so w

Hi all - new guy here, taking over for That’s Disgusting. Gonna give this roster a once over and then will be ready to make some deals. Looking forward to competing.

Hey guys - I won't be participating in any Fantasy BB next season if there is a delayed start/shortened season again. With some leagues, I can wait until close to the last minute before deciding whether to participate, but not with this league. Therefore, I think it's best to bow out now so you can find someone to take over my team. Thank you for allowing me to be part of the League last season. - Matt (That's Disgusting)

Now that we are through arbitration, I'm ready to make some moves. I'll send some messages to you if I am interested in someone on your team. If you are not interested-that's cool. Just let me know so I can move on. No one on my team is untouchable, so please send any offers my way if anyone is of interest to you. Thanks!

Ken Giles is available if you need to gain some points in Saves. He's coming back from injury and according to his manager will move back into closer role. Send your offer if interested. Also have Kyle Hendricks available if you need pitching help down the stretch.

Sorry to everyone, I was late. I had in my mind it was starting at 8 CT. My fault. I wouldn't have made a difference anyway. I had no money, so I couldn't have afforded the players that went before I came in anyway. And I would have been nominating all of the ones that were called out too, so I could get money off the board. In the end, it would have worked the same. But I do apologize about being late.

Nice job on the draft, boys. Just slightly over 2-1/2 hours. Good luck to all navigating what is sure to be an unpredictable sprint!

Just a friendly reminder that the Ottoneu $100 Old School Hardball auction draft for the 2020 sprint-season is exactly one week from tonight. Looking forward to seeing everyone in the draft room next Sunday evening!

I’m good with draft date. Sorry, I haven’t checked in for a while and just now responding. Honestly, I kinda forgot we haven’t drafted yet. This is the only league I’m in that hasn’t already drafted. All others were done. I’m blah about this year anyway. But I’ll be there and I’m sure the competitive spirit in me will kick in sometime.
