Thanks!

@Draft Dodgers - Welcome to the league! It's a good one. The vote off system means each of those players is up for regular auction...however, the team the player was on will get a $5 discount if they win the auction. So, if Player A is "restricted" and the bidding goes to $30 and the initial owner wins the auction the player's salary would be $25. If someone else wins, it is the actual price of the auction
-
Sorry, I meant to say "vote-off", not allocation.
-
Hi all. I picked up Draft Dodgers. I have not played with an allocation system before. Looking at the page, players voted off of teams are listed as Restricted Free Agents? Does this mean that the owner has the option to meet any auction price, or exceed by $1 or something, and retain the player?
-
Initial answer - I took a second look at the roster page, and did a double check. Everything looks OK to me, where Ohtani's salary seems to be counted once. I followed up in your messages also, let me know if we need to look into this more. Thanks!
-
Question - How come Ohtani (86$) is counted twice in salary cap? I have him in two other leagues, he's counted once
-
All, a couple quick updates as the baseball offseason is starting. I wanted to welcome Big Papi into the league, taking over AlcanTarHeels juggernaut squad. We are still waiting on someone to claim Draft Dodgers. And finally, a quick reminder that the Arb Voting Deadline is four days away, on November 14. Thanks to all the teams that have completed the vote so far.
-
Congrats Bandits!
-
Pity the guy who ends up with my roster vs AlcanTarHeels'.
-
Congratulations to the Bandits. A man that turned down Yordan Alvarez because he didn’t think the Heels could be beaten ends up pulling it out :). Well done. See you all in the off-season
-
In some small part to not winning Jesse Winker for $24 at the auction, congrats to Piggyback Bandits for taking the 2023 season top spot. Will follow-up with GG and everyone on next steps for filling open spots in the league. Please let GG or I know if anyone you know may be interested in joining for this offseason and next year. I think we will miss Alcan Tarheels and respect the need to get your league number right sized. And now onto October baseball!
-
Congrats, Bandits. The Ks were always looming. Really didn’t see my loaded squad losing this league, but the arms just gave up way too many taters.
I’m afraid I also will be checking out here. I’ve played in several too many leagues this season and have to let a few go. Thanks for having me. Some new guy should have a lot of fun with off-season decisions with this roster.
-
Thanks for stepping up to commish this season, Mathis. Wild that the top spot is gonna come down to the two teams that got into an insane $25 bidding war for...Jesse Winker
-
As we are enjoying the last week of the regular season, I wanted to share thanks to everyone for contributing to a competitive season, which is looking like it will go down to the wire to decide 1st place. Also special thanks to Sam for many years in the league.
-
So I just found out that email notifications for this league have all been landing in my spam folder for the past 6 weeks or so. That pretty much sums up my season. I won't be back next year, but I've enjoyed being part of the league. If you're ever in Chicago, feel free to drop me a line - sam.simaan@gmail.com.

Hey thx man, looks like I’m gonna survive and advance to the sweet 16
-
Good luck to AlcanTarHeels - Would be cool to have one of our own win the big prize
-
If anyone is interested in making a deal for any of my players (Freddie Freeman, Julio, Justin Turner, Mookie, anyone else on the roster), hit me up.
-
Found a pretty lukewarm market for Arraez. Guess I’m too used to FG pts scoring and y’all are right he’s less valuable here
-
Im deepest at 2b, so I’ll put my .400-chasing 6.7 ppg $6 25-year-old Arraez on the block and see what I can get
-
I really need to upgrade at C if anyone has one they’re not looking to keep for next season
-
I have a bunch of OF depth and would like to see if I can flip a player or two for another MIF or 1B. If anybody has any ideas feel free to shoot them over!

Hey all - now that the draft is complete, this is a quick note that the auction window has been closed out. This means owners can make cuts, complete trades and start auctions as of now. Looking forward to a fun season!
-
The auction is set for tomorrow (Sunday). I'll be driving so I've set Mathis for Nerds up as co-commissioner. He'll be in charge of starting the auction, pausing it when necessary, and that sort of thing. I'm hoping I'll be able to join the draft at some point, or perhaps I'll have my son sign on with my phone and do the draft for me. So if you see me in there, it might be him. Best of luck to everyone!
-
I'm not trying to be inflexible; I have people coming in from out of town for a NL-only LIVE auction. It's a big to do. I'd draft simultaneous with another ottoneu auction on Monday night, or Tues night would be fine.

-
If Bridgeport can't do it then I'll leave it as is for Sunday
-
I am unable to auction tomorrow.
-
I’m good either way.
-
I'll shoot out an email on this as well, just to be sure everyone sees it.
-
So I have a conflict with the Sunday draft. My sister had a baby and I need to drive down to California to visit her that day, which will be about 10 hours of driving. There's very little chance I'll be doing anything other than being in the car at 4pm on Sunday. I know I dropped the ball on scheduling the draft before so If Mathis wants to take over running things, I can just miss it. That would suck but that's on me. Alternatively, if everyone could move the draft to Saturday I can be there.
-
I'm in full support of this -- I run one league, and I have a co-commissioner as well.
-
I'd like to echo what Mathis for Nerds said and endorse him. If anyone has any issue with sharing the role or any thoughts on the matter, please do let us know. Throwing this open to the group. Give us your comments!
-
Re: Commissioner - Sounds good to me. Always nice to have someone to cover when needed
-
Hi all, just wanted to throw out a suggestion that I shared with GHG (Matt) today. My idea is to have a co-commissioner set up going forward with two people sharing the role for our league. I thought that may be helpful and take a bit of the pressure off Matt, since he has served in the commissioner role alone for many seasons. With that suggestion for having a second person, I also volunteered. Matt shared his support and recommended posting to the group. Messages welcome!
-
Not sure why I missed this, but it looks like Sunday is the preferred date. I'll move the draft to Sunday. Let me know if you have an issue or schedule conflict with that.
-
26th works for me
-
I'm good with the 26th!
-
I can make the 26th work too
-
3/26 would work for me
-
3/26 is good for me
-
I’m also good with the 26th.

Also works for me
-
Sunday evening 3/26 is good for me
-
I responded to Matt’s last email that the only one of the dates he proposed that worked for me was Sunday evening 3/26. So let me just throw that out there as a possibility. Could everyone do that?
-
Hey are we going to get a draft planned?

Any word on the draft?
-
FYI, I'm sending out an email about scheduling the draft. Please reply ASAP so we can set up a time that works for everyone. Thanks!
-
When will the auction, aka, the Jeremy Peña bidding frenzy, take place this year?
-
It looks like the vote offs are live.
