• Hey ya's! I'm totally good with moving the schedule up. A week from now works for me as it gives me some time to recharge my baseball strategy. :-)

  Piggyback Bandits on March 26, 2020 4:20 PM

• BDWH: I get that. I guess my question would be, what about the season could be so different that it would alter our draft strategies?

• Farewell to Kings emailed me to say he's fine with moving up the date (from where it is now) as well.

  Don't judge my team on March 26, 2020 4:01 PM

• I'm a *little* hesitant to do it too early just because we have no idea what the season is actually going to look like--we're seeing things like 7-inning doubleheaders getting thrown out there as possibilities, so if we draft early we should be prepared for the possibility that some people might get screwed a little. But I don't feel SUPER strongly about it and am happy to go with whatever the majority wants.

  Ballplayers Don't Wear Hoods on March 26, 2020 3:56 PM

• PP: sounds good. I'd like to hear from at least half the league before rescheduling for sooner. Please, everybody, weigh in on this! Is sooner, like a week from now, okay with you?

  Don't judge my team on March 26, 2020 3:37 PM

• I’m on board for making it sooner. I think we’re past the window of players discovering injuries from the spring too. Also being home all the time right now makes it ideal to do it soon lol

  Seiya Later on March 26, 2020 3:28 PM

• Thanks, DD. I should've said so as well, and now I am: I'm flexible as well as far as date and time of day. In truth, I think I'd prefer sooner. We all deserve a spot of fun. Why not, right?

  Don't judge my team on March 26, 2020 3:15 PM

• I'm pretty flexible these days. I don't mind doing it sooner, either. Whatever the group decides should work.

  Mourning Doves on March 26, 2020 3:13 PM

• Hey people, any thoughts on when the draft should be? I emailed yesterday (should be in your in-box) but quickly, I moved it back again. I'm happy to have it sooner though. What do y'all think?

  Don't judge my team on March 26, 2020 3:11 PM

• I know we've postponed the draft and I should be good for the 30th. The only thing I would add to the convo is if we did keep the draft on the 16th it means the sooner we can get back to wheelin' and dealin'. In any case, maybe this ends up working out for Verlander, Sale, and Paxton -- they can heal up quicker :-)

  Piggyback Bandits on March 12, 2020 9:36 PM

• OK, I'll email this as well, but I looked into it and there are a limited number of spots for the draft (I think this site has limited capacity to run drafts simultaneously) so rather than cancel the draft and reschedule, I postponed the draft for two weeks. You'll see at the top of the page we are now scheduled to draft on March 30th at 9pm Eastern. That's a placeholder time to ensure we have a spot. Obviously we'll reassess closer to that time.

• Delaying makes sense to me too. Who knows what everything is gonna look like when all is said and done

  Ballplayers Don't Wear Hoods on March 12, 2020 4:06 PM

• I'll wait to hear from more of you, but that's four votes for delaying which, the more I think about it, is probably the thing to do, so make that five votes.

  Don't judge my team on March 12, 2020 4:04 PM

• I'm good with delaying, too.

  Mourning Doves on March 12, 2020 4:02 PM

• I'm all for a delay.

  Sultans of Statcast I on March 12, 2020 3:17 PM

• I vote for delay.

  Wolf Pack on March 12, 2020 3:09 PM

• I'm for delaying the draft.

  Hot Talent Lava on March 12, 2020 3:07 PM

• I've been wondering about that. Perhaps it's better to postpone it to a later date when we know when the MLB season will start. I'm willing to do that, if others think it's a good idea. I'll throw it open to the league. I'll shoot an email out as well, though I'd encourage people to comment here in the open forum rather than just in my in-box (though I'm happy to get your emails on this as well, for sure). What do you think, Happy Fun Zone gang? Should we postpone the draft?

  Don't judge my team on March 12, 2020 3:01 PM

• So all things considered is it even worth it to draft anymore?

  Wolf Pack on March 12, 2020 2:25 PM

• Draft time is set! It's posted above on top of the league page. Thanks for bearing with me, friends!

  Hot Talent Lava on March 10, 2020 12:33 PM

• Not sure if you received my email but the 16th and the 19th are my ideal options with the 9th also a possibility. I'm unavailable the other days (10th, 11th, and 12th). Looking forward to it!

  Piggyback Bandits on March 1, 2020 11:45 PM

• I'm down for any of those days at 8 or 9pm est, preferably 9pm

  Wolf Pack on March 1, 2020 9:00 PM

• OK, so the formatting is terrible for some reason, but those are the dates and times. You can cut and paste into a Word doc and put some spaces in (which this board won't let me do) and you'll see them more clearly. Please reply back to me with the times listed here that work for you. The more you list, the easier this will be, so please be as flexible as possible.

• Thanks for all the help filling up the teams, everyone. Looks like we're in good shape for the coming season. I'm hoping to schedule a draft sometime in mid-March, and I'll be in touch with that. In the meantime, make sure you make your cuts by tomorrow evening and that you've paid Ottoneu through the 2020 season. Any questions, hit me up! -Commissioner Matt

• I have at least one person from the Slack boards who's interested in Ohtani. I'll DM you the user name

• (sorry it's taken me a while to get on this. Appreciate everyone's patience)

  Don't judge my team on January 27, 2020 4:39 PM

• Do we have new owners for the two (I think two) teams that are being abandoned? (They are Stogieville and Team With Ohtani). I can input new owners and give the teams to those people but I need their names and I assume they need accounts in Ottoneu as well

  Don't judge my team on January 27, 2020 4:38 PM

• Just to clarify, I’m cutting a different league. Not this one.

  Seiya Later on January 23, 2020 11:42 AM

• If anybody is looking to pickup another team, i am going to cut one soon. It’s a good roster with cap space and talent. I can send it along to anybody who is interested.

  Seiya Later on January 23, 2020 10:43 AM

• Looking it over again the Team with Ohtani is a great team to take over.

  Piggyback Bandits on January 22, 2020 10:38 PM

• That’d be great if we could fill those teams ASAP. No objections from me.

  Seiya Later on January 17, 2020 7:04 PM

• No objections from me. I think it would be most fair if the current owners get the head's up and maybe have until __ day to confirm they aren't re-upping... even if it's just by next Wednesday or something. Unless GHG already knows they aren't continuing...

  Piggyback Bandits on January 17, 2020 5:51 PM

• A couple guys from the Slack community are interested in the soon-to-be vacant teams- Ohtani and Stogieville. They're asking if they can join the league before Jan 31. I've already provided their user names to the commish. Anyone object to them being taken over pre-Jan 31? I think they'd like to make trades and cuts before Jan 31, but understand wanting to give the existing owners their opportunity to re-claim the team.

  Sultans of Statcast I on January 17, 2020 5:45 PM

• Totally agree.

  Piggyback Bandits on January 15, 2020 7:45 AM

• He'll get at least a year, if not more, I agree. Sad. He was a good manager and by all accounts a good person, but this was a massive MASSIVE screw up.

• And there goes Cora. Wouldn’t be surprised to see him eventually get a harsher suspension than Hinch did from MLB. Wild.

  Piggyback Bandits on January 14, 2020 10:49 PM

• Yup. Not surprised at the first, a bit surprised at the second. Probably means the Red Sox have to fire Cora and I'm curious what the Mets will do with Beltran.

• I've emailed and DM'd them all so hopefully they'll do it by tonight, but if not, having nine teams should be, if not ideal, at least effective.
