I'm a left coaster, so after 8pm EST would be best for me. I work evenings, but I'm usually near the computer.
-
Looking at the available cap space around the league, I'd reckon it shouldn't take longer than 4 hours, so we could probably do it on a week night if none of the weekends will work. We probably will have to start it after 8pm Eastern though to accommodate any west coasters in here (unless we don't have any, then we can do it at 5pm).

Hey folks, I went ahead and created a doodle scheduler for us to pick the draft date. I've used this every year with my other leagues and it's worked well so far, so please put in your available dates when you get a chance and hopefully we'll find something that will work for everyone. Here is the link: http://doodle.com/poll/mxbc6uf36vp7s5gm

I have no objections.
-
Sounds fair to me.
-
It has been brought to my attention that all teams except for one are under the salary cap now that the deadline for cuts has expired. The one team not under is North Sound Hounds. Because Alex is a new owner, and unless there is any stringent objection, I will allow him to email me a list of his "cuts," and I will allow him to cut those players without penalty so that he is under the cap for the auction.

Hey guys, just a heads up that with the keeper deadline coming up in a few days (11:59pm EST Jan 31st), today is the last day to accept any trades and still be able to cut those players without any penalties. After today, any players acquired from trades accepted (until the keeper deadline) will have to stay on your roster until after the auction. If you cut a player after the auction, normal in-season cap penalties will apply,

Haha yeah I guess an aggregate age of almost 80 is not the way to construct an OF.....As for the draft, I've found that scheduling it around early-mid March is optimal, as spring training trades, signings, and injuries tend to happen. I've been using doodle.com to create a master schedule of when people are available for the draft, it is extremely easy to use and setup.
-
Also, when is too early to start planning a draft?
-
Well played. Hoping I can do better than holding an aging outfield together with sticks and bubble gum this year. Who could have predicted putting Holliday and Werth on the same team was too much risk?
-
Feels good to be the king. (that's right, I just crowned myself)
-
Hey, I like my keepers! ;-) A good guide is looking at your player's average salary in all Ottoneu. Gives you an idea if you have surplus value or you're overpaying.
-
I'm not serious about redrafting the whole league, but every time people cut guys it ends up with others following suit.

You can't really enforce any penalties during the draft unfortunately, so we can only berate the guy who's taking forever. Also, what do you guys mean by redraft? We have a supplemental draft every year after the keeper deadline from the FA pool. Based on my experience it usually takes about half the time as the initial draft, depending on how many roster spots all of us need to fill. They've usually ran around 3-4 hours for me.
-
the only rule i'd say on a redraft is there'd be a penalty of not being able to bid on the next player nominated if you take up your whole 2 minutes without nominating a player. Skipping is ok (I can't remember if there was a skip option?)

-
actually the only reason i'd be against a redraft is how much time was spent in the original draft and it might not even help some people. Otherwise, I wouldn't care

I know i cut most of my team. Might have been a mistake, but I am still learning the system a little bit.
-
I think we're realizing some of our prices were a little over board.
-
Maybe we should just redraft the whole league? :)

Happy New Year Everyone. Alex Hume has expressed interest in taking over the North Sound Hounds, as long as Ed is sure about leaving the league. Once he send me along his Ottoneu username (and once Ed confirms he is still out), then I'll add Alex as an owner.
-
I'm going to drop Donaldson if anyone wants him.

Thanks for the reminder guys about NSH's impending vacancy in ownership. I'll post an announcement on BttP's Facebook page looking for a new owner. Is there anyone else that thinks they'll be dropping out for next year?
-
Sam has mentioned playing fantasy sports. That'd be fun. :)

My brother is down as another option if there are no takers for BttP Big fantasy baseball player and always down for another challenge
-
I know I was on the edge of my seat last year. Excited for the new season. Don't forget to re-up.
-
Just tell them about all the super awesome fun we had last year and I'm sure someone will bite!
-
I'd say throw it out to the BTTP folks first, and see if we have any takers.

My brother was interested in joining last off season before all the spots filled up. I can check with him.
-
Does anyone know anybody who would like to join us? If we could get someone we know, it would be the best in my experience.
-
How do we want to choose a new owner for the league? Just ask in BTTP?
-
Sorry I'm going to bailing on this league in 2016, I have to much on my hands.
