• Does anyone want to take over as commish? If not, I'll ask Niv to designate me as commish.

  You, You, You, Ottoneu on October 3, 2012 3:16 PM

• I don't have a real preference on the scoring. Over the course of the season, it's pretty immaterial and as long as everyone knows up front, I don't really care. I would assume to leave as is unless people want to switch.

  You, You, You, Ottoneu on October 3, 2012 3:15 PM

• Nice job Heyward! It seems people are in favor of the new arb system. Do we have thoughts on keeping current Linear Weights points, or reverting to old system? Whichever we choose, we should probably stick with it going forward to keep consistency.

  Lightsabremetrics 2.0 🛶 on October 3, 2012 12:57 PM

• I e-mailed everyone again yesterday. Hopefully they'll respond one way or another. Gladden - I know you said you have a potential owner. Anyone else?

  You, You, You, Ottoneu on October 3, 2012 12:26 PM

• That seems fine to me. You've been diligently trying to contact everyone for a while now. Unless someone was really gone for like a month plus on vacation and totally checked out, they should have been able to respond.

  Non-Fungible Torkelson on October 2, 2012 10:53 PM

• So we have 6 people confirmed for next year. I'm thinking about e-mailing the rest of the guys one last time and giving them until, say, Friday. What do you guys think?

  You, You, You, Ottoneu on October 1, 2012 11:07 PM

• Thanks Eva! You made me sweat until the very end! You deserve major props for building such a contender after missing the draft! Your squad will be super tough next year!

  You, You, You, Ottoneu on October 1, 2012 11:13 AM

• Congratulations to Heyward on his championship! It's official now because I've maxed out of games and innings - no more points for me. But watch out for me next year - I almost won this with a team that was $150 under the cap!

  Dunning Kluber on October 1, 2012 10:27 AM

• I agree Bedarded. I really don't want to abandon someone's team if they're planning on coming back. But we need active owners for arbitration. We've posted lots of messages here and I've sent multiple e-mails now...

  You, You, You, Ottoneu on September 29, 2012 9:04 PM

• It seems like if we want to include new people in arbitration, then we'd need to start ASAP.

  Non-Fungible Torkelson on September 29, 2012 3:09 PM

• The real challenge is upcoming arbitration. It won't really work unless people participate, but it ends in just one month, so getting new people in place and up to speed might be difficult.

  Non-Fungible Torkelson on September 29, 2012 3:07 PM

• It's hard to know. I don't want to cut someone out who's interested in returning, but then again, if we have someone lined up who will be more engaged, that's good, too.

  Non-Fungible Torkelson on September 29, 2012 2:47 PM

• Thanks Andre. Now we have 5 confirmed. For those that haven't responded, please let me/us know asap if you plan on returning. Thanks!

  You, You, You, Ottoneu on September 27, 2012 1:42 PM

• I will definitely be back...just been laying out and waiting until next year. Also, I'm in favor of trying the new arb system. Seems interesting.

  Lightsabremetrics 2.0 🛶 on September 27, 2012 12:10 PM

• Also, if I don't hear back from Rat or Patsies, we're going to need a new commish. I don't mind doing it, but am totally cool if one of you guys would rather do it.

  You, You, You, Ottoneu on September 27, 2012 11:06 AM

• I just e-mailed everyone again. Laser, Bedarded and Gladden, when do you think we should start abaondoning teams?

  You, You, You, Ottoneu on September 27, 2012 11:05 AM

• What do you guys think we should do with the absentee owners? I've e-mailed all of them and posted here. I think we can give them some time, and I'll e-mail again. But eventually, we're going to need to abandon some teams that don't respond.

  You, You, You, Ottoneu on September 24, 2012 1:00 PM

• Thanks Bedarded. I'm pretty much in agreement with you on the arbitration.

  You, You, You, Ottoneu on September 24, 2012 12:59 PM

• That said, it seems like it would require a more owners to be fully involved...but that's desirable anyways.

  Non-Fungible Torkelson on September 23, 2012 2:58 PM

• I'm flexible about the new arb option, but I'm inclined to support it over the old system. It seems more realistic and I like the opportunity to spread the increases over multiple undervalued assets instead of a single player.

  Non-Fungible Torkelson on September 23, 2012 2:57 PM

• Yeah, I'm in.

  Non-Fungible Torkelson on September 23, 2012 12:41 PM

• Also, for those that are coming back, we have an option to change the arbitration process. At some point, we'll need to vote and figure out what we want to do. http://www.fangraphs.com/fantasy/index.php/new-and-improved-ottoneu-arbitration-process/

  You, You, You, Ottoneu on September 21, 2012 11:52 AM

• So we know Gladden, Midgets and I are all in. I'm assuming at least that Eva and Bedarded are also in, but I sent e-mails to them and the rest of the league asking if they're in. Ideally, we can have a full league before the offseason stuff starts.

  You, You, You, Ottoneu on September 21, 2012 10:43 AM

• I'm very much enjoying the league and I've been managing my team the whole time. I haven't done a ton of transactions, but would like to continue in the league.

  Give me Zac, Brad. on September 17, 2012 10:21 AM

• I think we really should try to bring in people we know- these people all seem into it in March, and then they dissapear by July

  Blue Suede Schus on September 13, 2012 12:24 AM

• I think we have a good idea, besides you and I, Bedarded and evamarie, the last transaction by another owner was Oldface on June 27th

  Blue Suede Schus on September 13, 2012 12:22 AM

• I agree Gladden. I think that we should get a good idea of who is planning on renewing as the season ends. That way, we can work on offseason trades, etc.

  You, You, You, Ottoneu on September 11, 2012 9:48 PM

• I really like this league, but I think we really need to focus on replacing absentee owners, as Im sure many of you do, i have friends from other leagues who would step in

  Blue Suede Schus on September 11, 2012 5:20 PM

• Adrian Gonzalez is on the block. Trade deadline is a week from today. Let me know if you're interested.

  You, You, You, Ottoneu on August 24, 2012 2:15 PM

• Buster Posey available for starting pitching

  Blue Suede Schus on July 30, 2012 4:08 PM

• Well, as awesome as it was to have Ike Davis in my lineup last night, I would have liked it a little more if all three of his HRs weren't off Kennedy, who was also in my lineup!

  You, You, You, Ottoneu on July 29, 2012 9:45 AM

• Nice work getting to 10K points Eva. Gotta say that after you missed the draft, I didn't think you'd be the first one to 10K. Nice work putting together a solid squad!

  You, You, You, Ottoneu on June 29, 2012 10:41 AM

• Buster Posey, Yonder Alonso, Dayan Viciedo and Alcides Escobar are all available for starting pitching

  Blue Suede Schus on June 23, 2012 3:13 AM

• I didn't think we could customize any rules like that? I thought they were standard across all Ottoneu leagues? If we can make changes, I'm fine with whatever as long as we're all in agreement with the change.

  You, You, You, Ottoneu on June 6, 2012 2:12 PM

• I'm OK with extending the waiver period. Ultimately, the more people are using the interface provided by the rules, the better (within reason).

  Lightsabremetrics 2.0 🛶 on June 6, 2012 1:22 PM

• I think next year, we should consider, if it is possible, making the waiver period a little longer. 24 hours seems a little short, and if quality players can't be picked up on waivers it throws the supply and demand off

  Blue Suede Schus on June 2, 2012 1:16 AM

• in the market for a starting pitcher. send me some offers

  Advanced Open Water Skubal Divers on May 11, 2012 6:59 PM

• Horrible luck on that pickup. And I agree about Rivera - hard not to like that guy no matter how you feel about the Yanks.

  You, You, You, Ottoneu on May 6, 2012 1:26 PM

• Yeah, that's a really unfortunate injury. Even though he says he's coming back, I kind of doubt it

  Advanced Open Water Skubal Divers on May 6, 2012 1:07 PM

• Well that was poor timing to pick up Rivera. I don't like the Yankees, but I've always liked Mariano.

  Non-Fungible Torkelson on May 5, 2012 1:26 AM

• We had a similar situation in the other league I play in. I sent the guy a message saying he had a week to respond or the team would be marked abandoned. Maybe one of the two commisioners could do something similar?

  Lightsabremetrics 2.0 🛶 on April 20, 2012 2:32 PM

• Commishes can mark him abandoned and someone else can pick up the team.

  Lightsabremetrics 2.0 🛶 on April 20, 2012 2:30 PM

• Any chance we can get someone in to replace him? It's kind of lame to have a dead team for the entire season

  Advanced Open Water Skubal Divers on April 18, 2012 3:15 PM

• Looks like Shoof isn't playing...

  Lightsabremetrics 2.0 🛶 on April 11, 2012 9:32 PM

• Probably because they haven't filled their starting lineups

  Advanced Open Water Skubal Divers on April 8, 2012 3:52 PM

• Is there a reason there are 3 teams who haven't scored yet?

  Blue Suede Schus on April 8, 2012 2:22 PM

• looking to trade Tim Stauffer for 1$ player

  Blue Suede Schus on April 4, 2012 12:05 AM

• Oldface Andre's Allstars's trading block has been updated!

  Lightsabremetrics 2.0 🛶 on March 25, 2012 3:59 PM

• Hey, what good is a slow day at work if you can't use it to ponder which marginal MI you want to pick up?

  Lightsabremetrics 2.0 🛶 on March 22, 2012 5:29 PM

• What's up Andre. Welcome! I'd say you definitely have a reclamation project on your hands! Good luck!

  You, You, You, Ottoneu on March 21, 2012 2:36 PM
