i don't have a problem with the deal. especially in short season, i don't think i would have given up more for those guys. so good on FVPV. however, in a normal year if someone is going to sell a top 10 player (much less two in the same deal) i would hope they would publicly shop them a bit more to make sure they are getting the best possible return

Fair point. Our current political hellscape has me avoiding the majority of internet "discussions" under the assumption that everything devolves into misery. Maybe I carve out an exception for us fine Ottoneurs.
-
Fv/PV got and estimated $30 to $40 in future value in that deal. Much more constructive is to ask the people involved to explain their thinking. Veto votes generally aren't helpful.

Look at how poorly that trade has worked out for me. Further proof why one shouldn't ever veto unless it's actually a garbage deal. IE Mike Trout for salary relief.

Good season guys, considering the circumstances. I know everyone had a lot going on, and fantasy was the least of many peoples worries, but I would like to make a plea in the future to at least check out the trades that go through. We very rarely have many veto votes, but this trade had 3, with 8 abstentions. https://ottoneu.fangraphs.com/908/viewtrade?id=60886&pending=1 No fault or blame to anyone, just want to make sure everyone is on the same page.

Since the tally is 1-1 and I don’t wanna drag it out at all, I’m cool siding with Bleating. Very much my dumb mistake, and I’ll just learn from it! Best of luck the rest of the season everyone!

Hate to say, as it has happened to me in the past, but we have 48 hr to make sure we have input the correct bid. I have to say it stands! Could be because I got the $25 player for $5. ;-)

all good on my end, i was re-auctioning madbum to cut him and his 87 mph fastball

Oh man, that’s what happened!! I made an oops, wondering if the league would be cool with a fix? I intended to place a 10 dollar bet on Arozarena (clearly not enough to out bid Bleating), but it appears I accidentally placed this bid on Bum. Would it be okay if Bum was placed on Batboys for 8$ (I’m sure to be cut), and me given those 10 bucks back? If not, no biggie, I do understand it was my fat fingered mistake... just figured I’d make my plea

I like him a lot at $5! Passes the eye test for sure. Whip-quick swing and legs!

Hey cool, this league made Justin Vibber's latest power rankings
As of August 2 standings, this is the 9th toughest 5x5 league in all of ottoneu 5x5 format (69 leagues).

Hey guys, if I may hijack our message board for a second: there's one team open in the ottoneu lockdown league, the Out Of The Park 21 league Niv us running. If you're interested you need ootp21 and to reply to the most recent ootp thread in the community forum. Thanks!

commish, are we allowed to sit with an illegal roster during this lockdown. i wouldnt mind rostering some extra players while we wait for the season to start....
-
Hey guys, looks like Niv is organizing some Out Of The Park 21 (simulated baseball) leagues. Possibly 2 or 3 leagues of 12 to 16 teams, if there is enough interest.
I've agreed to act as a commish if needed, but I'll certainly be playing either way.
Check out this thread for more info, and to join in the (simulated) fun!

Friendly draft reminder for anyone who gets emails and may have forgotten.
-
Let’s keep the draft as planned then. I know at least some of the league is still working despite the situation so we should just move forward with it on Thursday.
-
i'm fine either way - draft on thursday night would be a fun distraction but definitely have time now to accommodate everyone

2 cents: Let's keep in mind that schedules have likely changed for all of us since the previous poll from the commish. I'd be fine filling out another poll to see if there's a different time that works regarding our respective possibly self-quarantined situations.
-
Lets just keep the draft as planned. Things may break right for me and I'll be available. However, even in the worst case scenario ,I'm thinking I'll still be able to sneak in the draft at the beginning and snag a target or two. Do the rest of my work post draft. Thanks for considering it, everyone, but I'm aware of the difficulties of finding a time that works for all and I'd rather not be a pain and make this work. Hope all is well with you and yours, all. Be smart and stay safe!

I am ok with changing it or keeping it as planned. It will be tough to find another date that will work and FV>PV only has $31 to spend so I think our best option might still be to just draft.
-
Given the 8 week layoff to the mlb schedule, I am in favour of attempting to accommodate in lieu of FVPV being able to find a proxy drafter, perhaps a friend or someone on the slack community. It might be hard to get everyone lined up again, but let's see if we can before ruling it out. In the meantime, it would be great if FVPV could try to find a temp to help out.

Opening day officially pushed back at least 8 weeks. I feel bad rescheduling the draft since it’s so hard to find a time that works for everyone but I wanted to let you guys have some input on what you think we should do. Who is in favor of moving the draft? Or should we keep it the same?
-
I hate to be a bummer, but is there anyway we could postpone the draft till anytime after this week? I just had quite the wrench thrown in to my schedule this week and it's like I will not be available Thursday night.

thursday night is the worst time for me but if it works for everyone else i'll figure it out
-
hey i didnt see where we vote for the draft
-
so far we have 10 of 12 responses and there is no 100% consensus on any of the times, but the best time to draft is thursday march 19th 8-11 pm (90%)
-
Cutting them now, sorry been inactive for a week or so

completely agree! i was just claiming everyone down the stretch in September!

Those late claims (processed Feb 9) should be invalidated. Aside from the fact they were illegal, and appear to have relied on a programming glitch, the players involved were not rostered for the offseason and therefore didn't have regular inflation and (though fleetingly) possible arb applied.

Waiver claims got processed yesterday.

Fom Niv: If your league had some waiver claims processed from the end of the 2019 season, please feel free to use commissioner tools to undo them. I’ll make sure to cancel all active waiver claims at the end of each season in the future.

Ahh stupid mistake, I forgot it is a leap year. Thanks McGibblets Ill fix it

I don't think those dates of the week are accurate on the survey.

Its that time of year again to schedule the draft. I created a survey to figure out the available dates & times, please fill this out https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/QW8NC8D

I am ok with 24 hour window too. Just to make sure this is consensus I will include it as a question when I send out the survey for available draft times, and then we can implement for the new season if the majority is in favor.

I support the 24 hour trade window.
