Understood. So why claim him in the first place if you couldn't keep him?

I was over the cap either I had to drop Jimenez or wheeler who would you drop

All Rise are you able to explain dropping Eloy 30 min after claiming him? If Seka now re-nominated him and gets him back for half price it's going to look odd.

so all rise claimed eloy just to drop him immediately… suspicious
-
Anyone looking for offense, I need some pitching, mostly a closer
-
Hey folks. I have too many good prospects. I need to fill two outfielders and a second baseman. If you want to add any elite prospects to your team, touch base with me.. Please no bad trade offers. Let’s touch base first. I have pretty much all of the best pitching prospects on my team. Cheers.

Best of luck. Safe travels.

Good luck and safe travels… drafting on a phone in an airport with kids sounds like some sort of twisted nightmare.

Hey folks. I will be traveling during the draft. I will be in Chicago on a layover for the first half hour or so. I only have three roster spots to fill so I’m hoping to bang them out before I get on the plane. Please don’t wait for me if I’m late as I’m w/ kids ;). hopefully the setting that kicks you out of bidding if you miss a nom isn’t on.
I will press the button that I’m finished with the draft when I board the plane to not hold you guys up. Cheers.

I primarily selected Fri, Sat, Sun, but in reality I can do any time M-F after 7pm Eastern Time. Sat & Sun after 12pm.

Alright guys - Doodle link below. First time creating one so let me know if there are any issues. Can obviously adjust start time on a specific date if needed. Thanks. https://doodle.com/meeting/organize/id/aMZKPxQb

I cannot draft on tues and as of now i have a draft on 2/19 2/20 & 3/25
-
Welcome back Seka. I'm glad you are ok.
-
yes missing the arbitration and making cuts is part of how we play and is important to all of us especially when we play for $ tho not a lot and can't be missed again.
-
I made my cuts and now Rum Ham is commissioner. I'm good with any draft time as I only have three open slots.

Another newbie to the league here, so take it with a grain of salt.
I agree with most of what was said here, technically, it is an advantage, but a new owner would have an opportunity to make cuts after the deadline as well. Probably best to appoint a new commish though.
-
I think the general consensus is that no one likes it, but they are willing to make this one time exception. Pargo is against it. I get the sense that everyone else, while also not happy about it, will let it slide this one time. I will make cuts today and hand over the reins to rum ham. Thanks folks. I sincerely appreciate it. Wether you know or not, i’ve put more work into this team than I’d like to admit. I’ll do better during football season. I think I’ve learned my lesson.Time will tell

Not an ideal situation. I support allowing cuts, but in my opinion, this should be a one time exception. Same goes with arbitration. We cant miss these.
Seka I dont mind taking over as commissioner. Ok with you?
Rum Ham on

I missed arbitration one year in 21. Not “annually”. Someone dropped commissioner on me as they bailed the league, and no one else stood up to take the role so I did it to keep this league going. i play NFL dfs professionally so I’m not tuned into baseball until the beginning of February. I set an alarm to remind me to do arbitration, which I did, and I set an alarm for cuts, but for some reason it didn’t happen. I support whatever the league decides. It was my mistake.

I vote he can make the cuts but this can't happen again
-
you can make decisions about your team based on the available players, a slight advantage, but an advantage nevertheless, you know where i stand, if the others feel differently, i will not fight or complain
annually you fail to engage in the arbitration process, now this issue, for the health of the league, i prefer a more reliable presence in the commissioner role
i hope all is well and i appreciate your commitment to the league

a "vote" not about. Autocorrect.

OK since I'm commissioner we'll put it up for about. One thing I know for sure, as commissioner if someone else missed by 2 days and explained they did it by mistake I wouldn't hesitate, but I see that pargo as commissioner would see it a different way and be a tougher. This is fantasy baseball after all. very serious stuff. Everyone can simply vote yes or no. If the majority says no, I won't make my cuts.
Seka on

Having only been in the league a year, I feel my words shouldn't way as heavy as others. I don't mind if he makes cuts. Someone is going to have to. I do agree that its hard to forget as I've been in Ottoneu leagues for several years now.
-
How does one day give me an advantage? I can assure you this was not anything other than a mistake. I do understand that if it were to happen frequently, you would have an issue, but one day late doesn't seem to be a big deal for someone who has been in this league for years. I would imagine you would want a shot at some of the players I'm releasing? Also, I would think you'd want to keep a really active manager who's been in your league to stay. Believe me, the continuity is important.

I don’t care either way as a new owner would need to make cuts. But I will say OTTONEU has the same rules and deadlines across all leagues every year. Every owner and every baseball podcast knows the dates. I expect owners to go absent in yahoo public leagues, not OTTONEU - which is why I play OTTONEU and not yahoo. Let’s not be yahoo.
-
Then the league needs to vote
-
all the other teams played by the rules, making cuts later provides you with an advantage, i vote against allowing this, regardless of the outcome i think seka needs to pass the commissioner duties to someone else, not necessarily myself, maybe season 4 and run ham, my apologies to the other founding teams that i forgot
Pargo Blanco on

It's ok with me as a new team would have to make cuts anyway but let's hear from the others
-
I lost a team in my other league that I had since the inception of the league and I went to find it and it looks like someone else claimed it oh man. Life has been a little nuts. I suppose I'll just concentrate on this one. Since I'm commissioner I'm going to make cuts for my team if that's OK with everyone?? I'll wait to hear from you guys to make sure no one feels like it would be bad for the league, but the cut deadline seems to benefit everyone when teams make cuts.
Seka on
February 2, 2023 7:29 PM
-
Oh no guys. I dropped off the face of the Earth there and forgot to pay my dues. I got this team back, but I didn't get to make my cuts. Would you guys pretty please make an exception for me and let me make late cuts. It would probably benefit everyone as they were be more players in the draft. I've been in this league a long time and I'm hoping you'll make an exception for me? I apologize for the oversight. Things just got really crazy and I don't start thinking about baseball until Feb.

Thanks everyone! Don't imagine we'll have a ton of difficulty filling that team as we get closer to Spring Training.
-
Thanks Pargo and Uptown.
-
Thanks pargo I took over his commish job in the other league, he didn't renew so the site will take his team and new owner gets a round of cuts when it's taken over
-
Much appreciated Pargo
-
Thanks for stepping up Pargo. Should we make Seka’s team available to be claimed by a new owner?

if none of the other original members want to fill the commissioner role, i will volunteer

On the fence about Albies and Bieber if anyone is interested. Also willing to take on salary for an upgrade on anyone else on my roster.

Devers is available. Have already gotten a few offers. Probably going to end up moving him to kickstart a bit of a rebuild. Looking to get younger and cheaper with established ML talent. If you're interested let me know
