(2/2) as the pre-April live draft option, with a plan B April live draft. if 3/24 doesn't work and we opening day isn't rescheduled, we'll probably have to resort to the slow draft this year. Let's see what kinda news comes out for MLB based on their 2/28 "deadline" but wanted to confirm availability on Thursday, 3/24 @ 9PM ET, so please DM if that doesn't work, or feel free to share general thoughts on drafting in here too.. Thanks!
-
Friendly reminder to complete the draft preference survey this weekend if possible. Gonna start taking a look at the responses early next week

Today is cut deadline day! All cuts must be made by 11:59 ET. Anyone traded today must be kept due to the 24 hour review period. Also - I'll work on getting a draft poll out later this week. Thanks
-
Sorry all, been extremely busy and this got put on the back burner. Accepted a job moving halfway across the country, so finishing up at my current job and planning out the move at the same time.
-
General PSA, keeper deadline has been pushed back to 2/15 for ottoneu. More info in the community forums.
-
So initially I think I lean Miami's way.
-
If the league wants to vote on this, I think it would be for removing Bauer from the player pool for the season, if no resolution is made by the league closer to draft time. I can send the poll, but I am inclined to think that situations like these work themselves out, and if I lose the league because someone had Bauer for $1 and he wins the Cy Young, so be it.
-
Yeah understand your concerns here.. I recently took part in an Ottoneu start-up mock draft, and Bauer went for $1 because nobody else wanted to have him on their roster, and I agree something that extreme could be bad for the league in the long run. Overall it's a complicated situation, and it's not the first and won't be the last instance when you play fantasy sports (regardless of sport), and I trust everyone to make their own informed decisions when it comes to rostering players.
-
If I throw a couple bucks at a hotshot AA arm, I'm betting on his performance being sustainable and his skills translating. That's fun and interesting. If I throw a couple bucks at Bauer, I'm betting on the outcome of a legal/ethical situation. That's ... not as fun. Even if I think Bauer represents a good fantasy risk to take if the price is low enough, I still wouldn't enjoy rooting for him, or enjoy having a small stake in his being cleared. That's where the difference is for me.
-
Thanks for clarification on Ozuna -- I wasn't up to speed on the latest of his situation and agree that this is different. So let's say we're only talking about Bauer. I think Miami's "slippery slope" argument is important, and would recommend this be an offseason-only, case-by-case thing (but that part isn't as important). This doesn't really matter unless it's an elite player, and that hopefully just won't come up often.
-
I agree with SpinningSeams here that it should be up to the owner to assume the risk by rostering the player. If they want to commit X dollars to roster a player that might not play it should be up to the owner.

Would't someone drafting Bauer/Ozuna being taking a risk in rostering them? Can we predict the price that they would go in a draft? Someone paying 'full price' for the risk in reduced playing time seems extreme to me. And this will happen again to other players, do we enact this rule every time?
-
Thanks for the suggestion, and agree w/ DILLIGAF that Bauer/Ozuna are at different stages in their legal situations. Weather - what would you want it to look like? If Bauer gets cleared to play in some random date in July, do I reinstate him immediately? How do we handle other future players suspended for PEDs or under investigation / on commissioner's list? I understand what you're trying to accomplish, but would need to hear more about how a rule is made here
-
Agree on Bauer, Ozuna is cleared to play for the start of the season pending his court date on Jan 13th.

I'd like to propose holding Bauer and Ozuna out of the player pool until their legal situations are resolved. I'd prefer we auction them at full price if either is exonerated, rather than have them stashed around $5 and potentially becoming league-swinging assets if they return.
-
Hi guys, no the draft won't be on 2/1, i'll send a preliminary draft poll just to see when works out. Also - just calling out that the keeper deadline MIGHT shift past 1/31, based on what Niv is saying in the forums. I'm not sure what the likelihood of that happening is right now, but just something to consider (he mentioned 2/15 extension) but until any announcement, let's operate as if the deadline is 1/31.. thanks! will send a form later this week, also a good time to suggest rule changes too
-
We aren't really drafting on February 1st? Are we? Lol
-
All coupons have now been applied, thanks!
-
Arb Coupons are now applied for: SpinningSeams, Carp, Cannons, Giraffes, and Stugotz.. Woodpeckers, Team of My Own, and Lamet's Ligaments are still in need of submitting their coupon allocations today. (Link: https://forms.gle/h4cHZyzHYDfEURJN9)

Happy trading season!! brief e-mail just sent out now.. thanks everyone
-
Oh no, very glad you had me covered. I almost didn't see your messages in time!
-
All good!! Just wanted to cover you guys just in case, feel free to overwrite whatever the proxy put
-
Sorry, arb snuck up on me. Been a little crazy lately and I completely spaced that it was already that time of year.
-
Hey, just did my arbs. I think myself and the proxy were doing them at the same time.
-
Ok we have two proxy GMs in the league now. Thanks to these fine folks for helping out
-
I'm totally fine with the proxy plan. It kind of messes up the league if two teams don't submit anything, and those managers can always come back in and change things by midnight.

Yeah correct, seams, teams can be over 40 if they’re60 IL. Also looks like the two teams who haven’t done arb haven’t checked in in over a week so I may round up someone from ottoneu slack to proxy for us. This would be a first so just giving notice
-
So are we okay running 60 day IL spots as not counted in the total? Cap at $450 is the real reason for the 40/$450?
-
I’m ok with flexibility on the 40 number for offseason trading, intent of the custom rule was mostly a cap on salaries, not number of players. Teams just need to have as many roster spots as players for the rule, so my team is currently illegal with 41 players but only 40 spots, but a team with 5 players on 60IL can have 45 players on their roster for trading
-
I'm pretty sure that technically the 60-day IL doesn't exist during the offseason, and any 60-day IL listings we see are just Ottoneu's stat providers being relaxed about actually putting that update through.

Quick question: After arb tomorrow, my understanding is that we need to cut down to 40/$450 before we can trade. Just want to make sure that 60-day IL players don't count towards the 40 but do count towards the $450 like during the season, yes? We could make the offseason be 40 players total and not 40 active players plus inactives, not sure if that would be more interesting or not.
-
Finished mine today. Good to see some players signing today. Hope for a joint resolution and a full season

reminder that arbitration completes this sunday night.. also have not heard of anyone leaving the league so far btw! (now if we could just get a new CBA figured out)
-
Congrats to the top 3. Especially to Weather for an incredible 3 peat!!
-
Thank you Miami!
-
Well, i believe that's that! Congratulations to Weather Report.. 3 straight, insane accomplishment. Congrats well to BF&PO and DILLIGAF on very strong seasons as well... well deserved, folks!! Now time for the MLB postseason!! will send a wrap-up e-mail in the coming days. Thanks again to everyone for a well played season, and i'm already looking forward to next year!
-
Thanks! It's been quite the tight race. However this shakes out, I appreciate the great season from everyone.
-
Good luck to Weather and Bat Flip on the final weekend. Will we have a new champ or 3 time reigning?
-
That Trout drama didn't last very long! congrats on the claim Lamet, was hoping to see him go to auction
-
Ok fixed, thanks everyone
-
Do it!
-
No issues here!
-
Fine by me, because I'm sure that you'd do the same for us. And probably better that we test this out with $1 relievers before someone does this with a legit star/keeper!
-
I want all robleses gone! Lol
-
Did you mean to cut H Robles or V Robles? Either way it’s good with me.
-
lol thanks everyone, i'll hold off until the morning at least just in case anyone else sees it and takes exception (publicly or privately) sorry to cause trouble over clippard and robles, of all people.. lol
-
I don't have any issues with it
-
I'm good with it as well

No issue with me, mistakes are understandable. I'm ok transacting this now, but I don't want to speak for everyone else.
