We are fighting a global pandemic and he's worried about the DH.

You, not to put too fine a point on it, are an ass.
-
Not happening. Sorry, but anyone I would consider feels as I do. Since Baseball has decided to not be Baseball, I suggest a name change. How about The American Hitting Exhibition. Seems proper!
-
If you are able to recruit your replacement, I will transfer ownership of your team.
-
I always swore that if the DH came to the NL I would be done with Baseball. Obviously, that would be fantasy too!
-
Great question exVP!

I'm with you, as I don't like the DH rule. I'm just wondering how it affects your continued fantasy baseball experience.
-
While it was certainly my error of inserting an L for H, it isn't rocket science to spot the mistake. Regardless of the "context," it is a matter of principal, titillation over beauty. Trust me I am the one who will be most penalized.
-
Not sure why the DH would even matter, in this context.
-
There used to be a 15 and a 21 day disabled list. Disabled is such an offense term. It's so easy to see your frustration. Try therapy.

Haven’t had the DL for two years now.
-
Then rest easy, little buddy. The DL doesn't exist in either league anymore. It's called the IL now.
-
Trying to abandon my team. Always promised to quit Baseball if the DL came to the NL. Please help.
-
Welcome, Suck!!
-
You should set a goal to try to be really bad.
Good luck to you.

Hey to my new League members. I'm taking over Little Cowboys. Looks like they came in 11th place last year. A name change and rebuild has begun. This is my first year in Ottoneu, so I will "Try Not To Suck".
-
1) Of course we'll try to make sure everyone can make the draft. 2) Little Cowboys is actually still available, someone claimed without meaning to. I may have a manager lined up, but if you have an alternate at the ready please let me know. 3) Rose 2 Cooperstown, please bring your roster into compliance at your earliest convenience.
-
Also, seems like at least a couple of teams haven't cut down their rosters.
-
Please make sure we are all able to make the draft. I missed one the other day. That was horrible.
-
Rebranding has begun. Missing Markakis are now the Crooked Numbers. It's fitting since I don't have any pitching.

How about somewhere in between? Early June draft.

I don't have a strong opinion. Maybe consider allowing a couple weeks before the start date for those preseason trades, roster shuffles.

I'm flexible on draft dates, although doing it sooner rather than later will allow for some pre-season trading and other roster moves.
-
Reasonable comment. I was looking at the ottoneu "season starts" date but I'd say we (finally) have a full league now and we could indeed wait until closer to MLB season start (since we still don't know when that is). What say you all?
-
At the very least we should wait to find out when the regular season is going to start before we schedule the draft. If today's news of an MLB proposal to the MLBPA for an early July start is accurate and gets passed, then we should be drafting in late June. We have an opportunity in this league, unlike so many others, to actually draft towards the end of "Spring Training" and take a lot of the guesswork out of the proceedings.
-
E-mail to Vegas Baby bounced. I tried a direct message too but that may not do much good if he's locked out. If you know him and can reach him please let him know there may be a technical issue with his payment...
-
I’m open to any day and any time. By the way, I had a paypal issue when claiming my team, and had to contact Niv to get it cleared up, perhaps Vegas Baby had a similar issue when claiming Little Cowboys as they would have been redirected to pay for the team first.
-
I'm flexible between weekday nights and weekends. Not going anywhere anyway...

I'm flexible. Heck, I'm stuck in the house till at least June 1.
-
A weekend draft is fine for me.

Looks like we have a full league...except Little Cowboys hasn't been renewed through next year? Agreed, it's time to start thinking about scheduling a draft. I'm currently working an East Coast second-shift schedule, which may make weekdays difficult for me. What works for everybody?
-
Welcome to The League!!
-
Awesome! Welcome and glad to have you with us. Hope you are all hanging in there 👍
-
Welcome!
-
Hi everybody. I grabbed the team called Missing Markakis (soon to be renamed). First time on Ottoneu. Hopefully we get this going soon but I'm just happy to thinking about baseball.

Commish...have you thought about scheduling a draft?
-
Welcome Vegas Baby, new owner of Little Cowboys. When you have the chance, please make sufficient cuts to bring your roster into compliance. Your cuts are currently penalty-free.
-
I really hope this league makes. With the extra time we should be able to find new owners. Fingers crossed.
-
I really do hope we can make it work - and thanks to everyone who has joined this year.
-
Commish, I wouldn't monkey with the five abandoned teams at all. Even if you did, we'd still be drafting under the same unsightly scenario just with slightly more players available.
-
Totally get that.
-
Starting the league anew would leave the same very bad taste in my mouth that disbanding this league would. I can try to fix the illegal teams (except the under-rostered one) but I would think that a prospective new owner would rather have the freedom to make those choices himself. I'll keep blasting the boards.
-
I agree with Abandoned. A radical idea would be to start the league anew, so it would be a much easier sell to prospective players looking to join ON. I have been emailing almost every person on the "available owners" list, and haven't received a single reply. People see 4 or 5 abandoned teams and just run away.
-
I can't imagine anyone will want to pick up teams mid-season and I, for one, am not very interested in drafting and playing in a 7 team league with a reduced player pool due to 5 illegal rosters. I think it's time for a full court press on the aforementioned formats and if we can't fill the league by the end of ST, that's that.
-
There are 5 empty teams, 4 of which are over budget, 3 of which are over rostered, and 1 of which isn't a full squad. The reason no one has joined this league is because those teams are in rough shape and there are so many of them. Leagues with more than two abandoned squads rarely fill without significant message board/slack cajoling.
-
OK by me if it's OK by the league. I'll schedule the auction draft this week if I can then...things are about to get very busy for me.
-
We could just roll with the four empty teams and see if they will fill during the season. People aren’t going to join a league that looks inactive.
-
I'm still recruiting, because it will leave a very bad taste in my mouth for this league to disband at this point. But if we can't fill the slots, I will do what needs to be done so you're not out $20.
-
That's right. The commish has to press the cancel button on the league, and then everyone receives a refund.
-
I'm actually not sure how that works. I think the league gets disbanded by the commissioner and then folks get refunds.
