If you have someone to proxy for the piranhas, that works for me. I’m fairly sure that there will be other teams that won’t allocate.
-
I agree with you, it has to be done. I do a lot of leagues and 99% of the time, I allocate 3$ to teams who finished in top 3, that leaves 16$ for the 8 other teams at 2$ a piece, don't even look at team names or order for those 8. Could also be 5 top teams at 3$ (15$), 6 to 9 at 2$ (8$)and two last teams teams at 1$ (2$) not counting your own team which you can't allocate any money, just some figures to thing about
-
I think we should have every team allocate arb dollars, whether abandoned or not. I have a couple volunteers from the Ottoneu Slack channel willing to serve as a proxy for arb. Thoughts on assigning Pitch Clock Piranhas to one of those volunteers so that they can spend their $25?
-
As I write this, it is November 1, and there are 2 weeks left in arbitration. 5 teams have not yet done their arbitration. This includes the Pitch Clock Piranhas who are currently abandonned. Would the teams that have not done arbitration please do so. Your commissioner thanks you.
-
Arbitration has begun. If you need some direction, I will recommend these articles from Chad Young in Fangraphs: https://fantasy.fangraphs.com/revisiting-ottoneu-arbitration-strategies-part-i/ https://fantasy.fangraphs.com/revisiting-ottoneu-arbitration-strategies-part-ii/
-
The Pitch Clock Piranhas have advised me that they will not be returning. I have abandonned the team. If you know anyone who is interested, please direct them to the claim a team page or me.
-
The position eligibility for all players have been updated. I recommend Chad Young’s article on FanGraphs - https://fantasy.fangraphs.com/ottoneu-position-gainers/ - for a summary of the changes.
-
If anyone does not want to continue with their team, please let me know. The sooner a new owner is found, the better. The more owners we have in the arbitration process the better.
-
Congratulations to the Elvis Andrus Impersonators and Ricky Time for putting up a spirited fight. My thanks to everyone in the league for making the league a success. Things looked dire for the league in January, yet here we are. I will be back in the next few days to go over off-season housekeeping.
-
Congrats on the championship E&M!

Anyone interested in bregman?

The results of the new doodle poll so far are a three way tie between Friday, March 17 at 8 PM eastern, Saturday, March 18 at 8 PM eastern and Sunday, March 19 at 8 PM eastern. I would propose the Friday, but that is St. Patrick’s Day. Does anyone have a problem drafting rather than wearing green in public?
-
There is a new poll which can be found here: https://doodle.com/meeting/participate/id/epZvEvQb
-
But I can fill out the poll again if need be.
-
I can do Sun, 3/19 at 4pm ET. I completed the prior poll, and my availability hasn't changed.
-
i can't edit my poll response. can you send out a new one. everyone should choose three times

I'm okay for March 19 or with just doing a new poll.
-
So, our options are to redo the poll, work with the March 19 time, or revisit the current poll. Thoughts?
-
I haven’t had any answer about continuing the old poll or making a new one. If we use the old poll, the two times with the best responses are tomorrow, Sunday February 26 at 4 PM eastern or Sunday, March 19 at 4 PM eastern. I don’t think tomorrow is realistic at this point. There is someone who indicated that the March 19 time wasn’t good, but the same player only indicated one good time.
-
so when are we drafting?

The old Doodle poll for a draft day/time is still active: https://doodle.com/meeting/organize/id/er2oWzke. Do we want to continue using that poll or do you want me to make a new Doodle poll?

Welcome to the new owner taking over Nancy's Harbor Bar & Hotel. You have one round of penalty free cuts. I keep saying this because I'm happy to say it. If you have any questions, please ask me.
-
Sounds good.
-
The current poll should still be available, but the sentiment is that we will redo the poll when the last team is claimed.
-
Hi everyone! Looks like a great league. Let me know if you need my opinion on a draft date. Adam - Pitch Clock Piranhas.
-
Welcome to the new owner taking over Gracie's Slumpbusters. You have one round of penalty free cuts. Forgive me if I sound like a broken record. If you have any questions, please ask me.
-
Okay, we will try to find the teams first.
-
My preference would be to fill the open spots and have all 12 teams available for the draft.
-
lets find the teams first and send out another poll

So far, the most popular time for a draft is next Sunday, February 26 at 4 PM eastern. All six respondents to the poll have indicated they can make that. However, that only leaves us six days to make arrangements for the two open teams. The next most popular time is Sunday, March 19 at 4 PM eastern, but only 5 of 6 respondents can make that time. Thoughts, ideas? I am reluctant to draft with two open teams, but less reluctant to draft with one open team.

Welcome to the new owner taking over the former Feather Haired team, now known as the Bufooligans. You have one round of penalty free cuts. Please fill out the doodle poll to determine our draft day and time. If you have any questions, please ask me.
-
Hi all I just claimed The Feather Haired Douchebags and look forward to being an active member of the league

I'm sending out the poll now, and we'll work on choosing a date and recruiting three new owners simultaneously. The URL for the doodle poll is: https://doodle.com/meeting/participate/id/er2oWzke
-
I'm happy to start the polling process. I think the sooner we can lock in the date, the better. I already have a few conflicts in March, and it's certain more will come! I imagine I'm not the only one :)
-
We are still missing three owners. Do you want me to send out possible times for a draft through a Doodle poll today or wait a few more days?
-
Thanks for the welcome. Glad to be part of the league. I'll take care of my cuts and make a slight team name change.
-
Welcome to the new owner of Elvis and the Baby Sharks, who has extensive experience in Ottoneu. I am sure many of us have faced you in other leagues. If you have any questions, please ask.
-
Apologies for my absence, been busy with a newborn (our first) and a new job. But look forward to participating this season.
