We’ve had just five responses to the When Is Good draft poll, and so far the only times that work for all five are on Sunday, March 19 between 1:30 and 3:30 Eastern Time. Papi is maxed out and won’t be drafting, which leaves six others to respond. Please let me know if there is some major conflict that does not allow you to start the draft in this window on the 19th.

Survey done
I’m in the UK, so appreciate its going to be an early one for me 😃
-
Thanks, Dark Horse. Just sent a link to a survey out to the league. Also posting it here: https://whenisgood.net/cj4rqaw

Good to know -- how about Sunday, March 19? I have another draft that day, but can move it, if need be. Or, we can stick with the current date of March 12, which doesn't have availability issues, but might be just a little earlier in Spring Training.
-
Unfortunately, I need to do this before March 25. On the 25th, Ill be headed to Hawaii for my wife's babymoon, and I would prefer to come back alive and in 1 piece from that trip! Sorry for the inconvenience!
-
What times work better for you, SoCal?
-
26 March is good here,
any chance of making it a slightly earlier start time tho?
-
Works for me

I'm open to a draft date in the window you, propose, Dark Horse. Are there any objections? I've typically found luck with draft dates/times on Sunday afternoons/evenings. Sunday, March 26 at 8:30 pm EDT?
-
I would rather have the draft closer to opening day (march 30th). Friday march 24th to Tuesday March 28th is a good window. Always good to let spring training unfold before drafting...Anyone else have an opinion??

Yes, Barnstormers. That sure seemed like a mistake. I’ve added him back to your team at $8.
-
Hey sorry I accidentally cut Varsho. My bad. Can you undo it?

Reminder: One week to pay and finalize rosters prior to the spring auction. We still have four unpaid.
-
I tossed it out there as a placeholder, but if the date/time works for everyone, happy to have it then. If it doesn't work, let me know and I can work to find a new date.
-
Is the draft really march 12th or is it just a place holder??

Just for the fun of it, since it was brought up. If MLB Network were breaking this down, it would be reported as:
Dingoes Receives:
Wander Franco
Adley Rutschman
Jack Flaherty
Barnstormers Receives:
Mookie Betts
Logan Webb
Jose Miranda
Alek Thomas
Matt Manning
Marauders Receives:
Lance Lynn
Jorge Polanco
-
Haha! It wasn't orchestrated as such (at least not by me, kudos to Dingoes and/or Barnstormers if they hatched it that way), but I'll gladly chalk it up as a 3-way deal in the old memory bank.
-
Was that basically an amazing 3-way trade? Love it. Great work gentlemen.

The change has been made.

In favor.
We could also use some enforcement re: activity, participation, etc.

I am firmly in favor

No. Maybe just set a date for anyone to object by?

Is anyone opposed to changing the trade waiting period to 24 hours instead of 48 hours?
-
Friendly reminder: arbitration closes one week from today.
-
Moneyballs team has a new manager. We’ll see if they get a new name soon. Welcome to the league, Mike.
-
Thanks for taking over Commish role and congrats to Winners
-
I vote for 24
-
I can change the trade waiting period to 24 hours. I cannot change the auction period, though. It's not a customizable option. Is there any opposition to a 24 hour waiting period for trades? I don't think this league has ever had a trade vetoed, so this would just mean quicker processing time. I'm all for a 24 hour window.
-
I’d agree with those changes

About the only thing I believe we can change are items related to transactions. Is that correct? I mentioned this to Moneyballs in the past but the other leagues I am in do 1-day auctions and/or trades. Can't quite remember if it's one or both right now. It may be something the league is interested in voting on to change. Or we keep the status quo. I feel like the extra day is really to give everyone a chance to veto or bid, but most everyone checks daily & I don't recall a veto yet???

I believe the roster construction is uniform across all Ottoneu leagues and can't be customized even at league creation. They all have 40-man rosters with the same lineup slots available each day (except in h2h where you can only start one catcher per day). The amount of teams in a league might be able to be changed by reaching out to Ottoneu's administrator, but given the keeper format and the length of time this league has been around, I think the expansion ship has sailed.
-
ok. ya, I guess we can't add a Corner Infielder (CI) if we want to either. Not sure why we can't add and subtract stuff as we go. Just feels like we have no control over our league format. It's a big negative IMO.

I think we are set with 12. I don't have an option as commish to expand. I recall that being an option you choose at setup.
-
this was my first year in the league...I spent the year rebuilding, so I would like to stay for next year and beyond to have a chance to compete. Just curious, Is it possible to add more than 12 teams? Or are we pigeon holed into 12 teams??

Additionally, this had been set as a private league, but I was not told the password for it, which means I wouldn't have been able to get new managers in. When I changed it to public, it set a draft day of Feb. 1 automatically. I bumped that out to mid-March, but just picked that date arbitrarily. We'll get that date officially nailed down sometime in early 2023.
-
Update -- Moneyballs has officially departed. He was just waiting on his payout, which came through this morning. He's transferred commish duties to me. Happy to serve in the role for this league. As I previously posted, I have someone interested in taking over Moneyballs team, and should have him in control of it by the end of the weekend. Please let me know if you have any questions. If anyone else is departing, please let me know ASAP so we can find replacements.
-
Moneyballs - curious on the status of your departure. With arbitration opening tomorrow, I’d like the get the new manager set up soon.
-
Thank you! Take care, MB.
Sounds good on commissioner.

Thanks Moneyballs
If you’re happy to step up Milk Hotel - it’s a vote of yes from me

Works for me if you want to take over

Additionally, I know someone who is interested in joining the league.
-
That’s a surprise, Moneyballs. What happens to commish role? League - I’m commish in another Ottoneu league and don’t mind stepping in. I’m happy to discuss whatever is best for this vote, etc.
-
Congrats to Pumpkin Escobar on another championship!
On a side note, this was my last year in the league. I will try to give everyone commissioner access before leaving. Thanks for playing with me the last 5 years. -John
-
By the way, congrats on Championship
-
Positions are not customizable.
-
Any thoughts on adding a CI spot for next year??

Guess I’m hoarding the C keepers. If you’re interested in one send me an offer
