Does the season just automatically start on the 26th, even if we don't have an auction or anything?
-
Yeah, neither am I. I think we'd have a better chance of starting a new league than getting folks to take over middling teams at this point. To that end, I've started a H2H FanGraphs points league called Loose LIPS Sink FIPs that can be found here: https://ottoneu.fangraphs.com/joinleague
I'm still all-in here, but I think that more newbies will be less intimidated and more likely to join a fresh league than take over a team in an existing one. Especially one that still has four openings.
-
So, are we cool with the 24 hour trade wait time? Is there a plan for an auction? Not sure I’m optimistic that these abandoned teams are going to get claimed.

Yes, if you are taking over a team, you will have the opportunity to make penalty-free cuts. You may choose to adopt your predecessor's roster (if it is within budget), but you are not constrained by it. Cut the whole team if you want.
-
Commish. As an incentive for prospective new owners for the abandoned teams, should we disclose here on the msg board that new owners for the team they take over can make player cuts without the 50% salary penalty since we are past the cut down day? I know new owners check the boards for leagues to see if the league is dead or not so might make sense to get that documented here to avoid any doubts. ST just around the corner now 👍

+1 on the 24 hr trade wait time
-
I'll cast my vote for the 24hr waiting period.
-
I think we should change the trade waiting period to 24 hrs.
-
Hi guys. I've decided to opt out of this league. The new additions Commish has found already have been active and I wish you all luck in keeping this going. I renewed my team for the year and hope a free season makes this an easy spot to fill.
-
We just kept the default. If you would like to propose that we change it, we can take that up before the season starts.
-
Just curious, is there a reason this league is maintaining the 48 hour waiting period for trades? My other leagues have all gone to 24 hours.

Hey y'all. Looking to male some quick moves before the deadline. Guys on my block are readily available. Sent all of the teams that look active an offer. Send me a counter if you don't like it!

I'm hoping so. Continuing to pound the pavement. We do need several owners, still.

Is the league going to make?

Vacant team, good league: https://ottoneu.fangraphs.com/99/team?team=866

Don’t forget to abandon my team, whoever takes it gets a free team as it’s already renewed.

I think it's pretty absurd to state that you are deeming the league inactive because people don't immediately respond to your trade offers. I'll pound the pavement some more. Have yet to be successful initiating a post soliciting replacement owners.
-
I think in reality it's closer to half, not 3-4. I think this league is pretty close to its tipping point for abandonment, tbh.
-
Looks like we have 3 or 4 vacants. I need to renew or not by Jan 31 and leaning towards not. I don't want to abandon a league, but this has been the least active league I've ever participated in. Are we going to keep this one going?
-
If I had realized that there were so many vacant/inactive/dormant teams, I wouldn’t have joined. When I first joined, I sent three trade offers to teams that were “active”. It took several days to get responses and I’m still actually waiting for one. Please abandon my team for me. The remaining “vacant” teams do not have much talent. I advise throwing all the players from these 4-5 teams and have a dispersal draft. Adding my team will at least make it a bit more appealing. Good luck.

Filling the vacancies would also help me decide whether I want to move forward. I would prefer a more active league but also want to defend my finish from last season
-
can we fill these vacancies before the cut date? i think the new owners would want the capability to trade before they cut or draft.
-
Little Cowboys and Missing Markakis are definitely vacant. Walk With Elias seems probably vacant but I'll try to contact that owner. I wouldn't necessarily conclude that Rose to Cooperstown is done. I'll see if I can manage to advertise again...
-
It looks like you have several vacancies: Missing Markakis, Walk with Elias (hasn’t been seen since Sept 9), Little Cowboys plus Rose to Cooperstown hasn’t been on since January 2. Is this correct?

Welcome to the league, Eddie! Keeper Deadline is January 31. Good luck!
-
The new owner will get a round of P/F cuts if we don't get him/her in until after the Keeper Deadline, so you can stand pat for this. Thank you for asking though!
-
Hi Guys - just asking, did you need/want me to cut players? Or do you want the new owner to do it? Just let me know either way - Thanks!

I think we're actually doing better than last year, and truthfully, there's only one of these players that I'm fairly certain is no longer playing. Rose 2 Cooperstown may be allocating as we speak - has checked in today. I think we can write off the player who hasn't done anything since April, though.
-
We have 4 teams that need to vote for arbitration- do we want to try to get some fillers to try to get 100% participation?
-
Last day of Arbitration! Allocate! Allocate! Allocate!
-
Three days left and five teams still have not allocated! Thanks to Missing Markakis for doing it even though he's out next year. Please get it done, folks, you're only hurting your own team if you don't.
-
Arbitration done for Missing Markakis new owner ;) Good Luck next season!!

Less than 2 weeks of arbitration left! Seven teams still need to allocate! Please do so ASAP.
-
Reminder: We are in the Arbitration period. You must allocate all of your team's $25 or your allocations will not count.
-
We are now in the arbitration period, which ends November 14. We are using the allocation method. For those who haven't seen it before or need a refresher, here is how it works:
1) You have $25 to allocate. You must allocate all $25 or your allocations will not count.
2) You must allocate at least $1 to each team other than your own or your allocations will not count.
3) You may not allocate more than $3 to any team.
Allocations increase player salaries. Good luck!

Congrats Sultan's!

We will be missing Markasis!

Thank you!!

Hi Guys! I just wanted to say Thank You to all of you guys for this season! I hope you had as much fun as I did this season. Today is my last day as owner of MIssing Markakis as my daughter is about to deliver our 1st grandchild and I will not be able to pay attention to this league anymore. I hope I left this team a little better for next year's owner. Good Luck and God Bless you all!

If you click on Global Leaderboard on the Standings page, you will see that the Number 1 scoring team in all Ottoneu SABR Points leagues is our Sultans of Statcast IV. Tip of the hat to the Sultans.
-
I am serious, but I expected the responses. Not looking for lot in return, just an OK reliever.
-
Exactly. Can't tell if serious about Archer or not. I dropped him at $12 salary in another of my leagues.
-
Given his salary, isn't that an awfully temporary "low" buy?
-
Sure. Great buy low opportunity.
-
Can't tell if serious...
