Happy thanksgiving, everyone! The dispersal draft is currently in the 18th round (71st pick). We're going to give the guys a couple more days to put their rosters together, and we'll open up for trades as of Monday, November 28th. The dispersal teams will be allowed to continue drafting until they fill out their 40-man roster if they want to.
-
All input is welcome, but I think we can hold off for a little while? Just to give the new teams a fair shot at getting the same players. The draft is off and running, currently in the 3rd round (10th pick), if anyone wants to keep tabs on it just go here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/195hMpjUNa7djTrC06xSKcSqvCEF48GeJ/edit?usp=sharing&ouid=115906198742070124558&rtpof=true&sd=true. I'll start adding the picks to each roster soon.
-
Soo. Should we put trade proposals on hold until the dispersal draft is complete?
Thoughts???
-
Welcome & good luck
-
Its what my team will do...hit DONGS!
-
And welcome to the other newcomers too! Just realized I never posted after those announcements, sorry :)
-
Welcome Tyson! Love the new team name too lol
-
Happy to be here guys....now to kick all your asses!!! ;o)
-
Welcome Tyson! I'm glad I'm not the new guy anymore!
-
Everyone, we have the last missing piece of the puzzle - welcome aboard Tyson!
The dispersal draft for the four new teams should start soon (today/tomorrow), and these guys should have their teams ready to go within a week or so. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions.
-
Thanks for the welcome everyone! Activity in my only other league has been decelerating, so thought I'd give this one a try. Looking forward to it!
-
Glad to have you Matt! Good luck!
-
A warm welcome to Matt, new owner of the team currently known as @BuntSingles. Just one more open spot go!
-
Don't forget to get your arbitration in, only two more days to go!
civeng2345 was temporarily added as a proxy owner of @BuntSingles to allocate for that team, so both our vacant teams are done with their arb.
-
Hey league, unfortunately slamdunk313 (@BuntSingles) is not going to stick around, so we still have two vacant teams. Help us spread the word, maybe you have a former/current leaguemate, relative, work colleague looking to join a new league?
We would prefer incoming managers to have previous ties to one of us or to the Ottoneu community - this should help keep our league active and engaged.
-
Thanks, looking forward to the season!
-
welcome & good luck in '23
-
Hey everyone, please welcome ammutch and slamdunk313 to our league. They'll be taking over two of our vacant teams. Once we fill the last spot, we will run the dispersal draft for our 4 new managers.
Please proceed with arbitration as usual - our departing commish has agreed to do arb for his team, so the arbitration field is complete. Let me know if you have any questions.
-
We're still looking for 3 new owners. I've tried a few channels and had zero luck so far. Please ask around and let me know if you guys have any leads.
ps: If we don't find these replacements over the next 10 days or so, we'll be looking for at least 2 proxies to help us finish arbitration.
-
to keep the league competitive. With Compadres, that makes it 4 new managers for 2023. So to make the vacant teams more attractive to prospective owners and get everyone on more equal footing, we're going to run a dispersal draft with these 4 rosters. First order of business is finding owners for these 3 teams, so if you guys know of active, engaged managers, let us know. Meanwhile, we'll continue with arbitration as usual, and if need be get proxies to finish up arb by the deadline. (2/2)
-
Hey everyone, DMCNIC has handed over commissioner duties to me since he's leaving. We've got a few things on the agenda before we can resume our offseason. First, we'll need to replace three teams - Strategery, Info fWARs and BuntSingles. The last two were inactive all last season and failed to respond to a nudge by the commish, so it's better we move (1/2)
-
Welcome to the league
-
I vote for Duck
-
Welcome, Compadres! And sorry to see you go, commish. I've been sort of waiting for one of the more experienced managers to chime in, but if no one wants to I can take over as commissioner (or share it with someone).
-
Welcome aboard!
-
What's up fellas? I was just added to the league to take over a squad. Looking forward to getting to know everyone
-
If anyone would like to take the commissioner role, that will make it easier to replace myself.
-
There are two teams who have let me know they will not be returning next year. The first team is Greg with La Pantera, who has seen an increase in work assignments. The second team is myself. As the season started, I was going to the office once a week. That is now at least three days per week. I have the kind of job where I have very limited internet access and no cell phone connection. That makes me uncompetitive in a daily league. I will look for a replacement for Greg first.
-
For those who have started their off-season, arbitration opens on Saturday.
-
As of now i plan on returning in 23
-
Jeff has officially hit dynasty status... Congratulations again!!!
-
Just wow - quite a finish! Congrats Third Degree!
-
Yes it is, official congrats are in order for Third Degree on an awesome come from behind win!!
-
Is that a wrap? Does Third Degree take the title?
-
I'm a sitting duck! π¦
-
Can we all agree to call the season early? Sayβ¦.right this second? Lol
-
I don't know, I've just been putting up too many negatives and the difference is shrinking... and I might run out of at-bats soon (I've got IP to make up but the matchups don't look great right now). Either way it definitely adds an edge to these last few weeks. Good luck!
-
In order for it to be a race my offense would have to do somethingβ¦.which it isnβt and hasnβt really for the entire season, unfortunately.
-
That's a cool 76 pts by red hot Burnes, and we've got ourselves a race again! (and I feel like the Mets trying to hold off the Braves and avoid a fantastic collapse)
-
i knew Wham Bam would be involved....didn't think i'd pay full price though, dang!
-
That's a big Toglia o' cash!
-
Iβm in
-
Congrats to our very own Third Degree Burnes for making it to the OPL playoffs! As I've told him before in DMs, good luck in OPL (but leave the league to me lol). Bring it home!
-
Good morning all... FWIW there are a few players on my trade block that i could see keeping for next season. Just saying im not looking to take just the best offer, im looking for the right offer that makes sense... if i reject a trade i try to always give my reason & or thought process behind the decision, so if that happens please dont take personal, im just trying to assemble a squad that competes for a championship nxt season, Lol.... Thanks
-
Good day leaguemates!... I feel like im to far behind to finish in the money this season, so im officially a seller (playing for next season)... please take a look at my trade block and feel free to make an offer. Thanks and good luck the rest of the season.
-
win Hiura at auction, very same day he gets sent back to minors . My luck, Lol.
-
Thanks for the notice. Take care of yourself and family first.
-
Hey guys... having some serious life problems & I apologize for the lack of competitiveness.... It is my hope that things get better soon. If not i may have to relinquish my team...Very Very hopefull i dont have too. Ill keep ya updated. I appreciate everyones patience.
-
FWIW, I meant to nominate McKinstry the blowout relief pitcher, not the utility IF/OF who keeps getting overlooked for at-bats. Waiting on a ruling from NY to see if they'll let him take the mound π
-
-40.1 pts last night. just when i thought it couldnt get any worse... smh
