Congratulations indeed to Blue Sox! We all kept trying to make it interesting but you hung in there all the way to the finish line. Well deserved.
Just a quick reminder, only three days to go on the arbitration window. Please get your numbers in, thanks all!
-
Congrats to Blue Sox for winning it all! Very impressive season. Enjoy it now because we’re gunning for you next year :)
Nice job RKO, you got impressively close!
And congrats to Robo-Umps as well for grabbing the tightly-contested third place.
Thanks, MD, for taking over as commish and keeping the league going.

Guess I'll be seeing you all in 6 weeks, happy almost spring training!
-
Okay, just out of caution for UK Mother's Day, I am going to go ahead and set the draft for the following weekend. It will be Sunday, 3/17 at 4pm EST. Until then, enjoy spring training - thanks all!
-
That's completely reasonable, I'll make it work one way or another.

Thanks Dave - just FYI, we have a couple British gents in the league, so we can't push our start time too much later than 4pm for time zone reasons.
I forgot about Mother's Day, which is 3/10 over there apparently. Can those who would care let me know if that will be an issue? If so, I'd suggest we push it to 3/17. Thanks all!
-
Thank you MD for being 'voluntold' ... i just realized Blue Sox not paid up and taking care of that today. I will make any date / time work for draft :) i know from past scheduling that mothers day in britain is sometime in our draft window. Thanks again ... good luck everyone in 2024

Thanks MD! I am obviously new here, but would it be possible to do a bit later in the evening? I have two young kids and dinner/bedtime can be a tough time to break away. I am on the east coast, for your reference.
I'll join as it is set regardless.
Thanks!

Happy 2024 all! Baseball season is fast approaching and hope springs eternal. We didn't so much volunteer for the commish role as Adam selected us, but we're happy to take care of getting things rolling. If anyone wants to volunteer in the future, we certainly wouldn't mind.
Looking at past years, our tradition is to do a Sunday in March at 4pm EST. We are proposing March 10th. Please let us know ASAP if that will not work for you, otherwise we will go ahead and schedule it soon. T

Welcome, Dave. Looks like we’re in another league together.
Adam, good luck to you, and thank you for your time as commissioner.
MD, thanks for stepping into the temp commissioner role.

Hey all - I am looking forward to joining the league, thanks Adam for helping with the transition and best of luck to you going forward! A bit about me, I am an active owner in my other leagues and look forward to playing with you all. I prefer to use the chat feature to work through trades, but will do my best to reply to anything sent over.
I am ready to make my mark on the roster, will update my trade block shortly.

Hey all, while we search for a permanent commissioner, the guys over at Monroe Doctrine are stepping in. Also welcoming a new owner for Salty!
-
Hey all, I need to step away from the commissioner post and my team for a few reasons.
1) 2023 was a nearly impossibly difficult year for me and I'm still, honestly, struggling day-to-day.
2) Ottoneu requires much more devotion and attention that I can give at this time.
3) I'm kind of just not having much fun managing the team anymore.
Let me know if you're interested in being commissioner or if you know of a good manager for me to hand the reins to.
-
Reminder that arbitration is due by 11/14. There are 5 teams which need to complete their allocations.
-
Separate reminder that arbitration is now open. Please ensure you submit your figures - I will plan to follow up with managers who have not allocated arb by early November (crap, now I've got to go listen to some emo music, eh?) personally.
-
Hey everyone, as a heads up I noticed that a couple of rosters were very slightly illegal, including, embarrassingly, our own. I was on vacation in France for a couple weeks which is why I wasn't able to action until today.
-
Reminder that arbitration begins tomorrow! Please inform us as soon as possible if you don't wish to play next season. We want all owners to be committed to putting forth effort and, to be honest, there was a troubling lack of transactions post-July.
-
Great season everybody! Looking forward to another fun season together in '24. Many thanks to Salta for the Commish work!
-
MD has all the answers (again)! Congratulations. Will be back next year to see if i can get into top half of league .... carry on everyone :)

Congrats to Monroe Doctrine, and also to Waxahachie on rallying to grab 3rd place!
Please let me know immediately if you're planning not to join us again next year so we may line up a replacement early.
-
Hey all, quick reminder that the season ends October 1. You'll need to ensure your roster is legal prior to arbitration. If it is not I will be removing your most recently added players in order until the roster is legal. Please don't make me do that!
-
To clarify, open to discussing any SP, including prospects, not named Verlander, McClanahan, Brown, or Valdez for a RP.
-
We're looking to swap one of our starters for a reliever. Let us know if you're interested in talking trade!
-
Last minute change in strategy…wanted some extra cash so I could +1 on Reynaldo Lopez.

Izzy, he only went for $72 and you didn't get him. What gives?
-
I think I can make a $76 max bid, so I might go all in on Mookie

Draft board’s all finalized. Nobody’s gonna go over $9 for Mookie, right?

Welcome, Augustine! Glad to have a coworker in this league.
-
On balance |I'm happy to bow out of this league. If you can't find someone to replace me then fine I will continue but I'd rather stand aside and let someone else have a go. Thanks.
-
March 12th is fine with me! Thanks Adam for taking over the commish job! Welcome to the league Scott and Jared!
-
Thank you, Adam, for taking over as Commissioner...and welcome to Scott and Jared!

3/12 sounds good to me! I'll remember how long Otto drafts take this year as well.
-
3/12 works for us, thanks!
-
Based on feedback from some owners - could March 12 6 PM GMT/2 PM EST/11 AM PST?
-
Hi all, just to get a tentative date on the books, I'm recommending March 18 at 6 PM GMT/2 PM EST/11 AM PST. Let me know if this does not work for you.
-
Also welcoming Jared (jgforetek) as a new owner of Chin Music!
-
Thanks to Chin Music / Philip for keeping us all squared away the past few years ... congrats on newborn :) Sounds like a great start to 2023
Welcome Scott
Thank you Adam for stepping up to plate as commish. BlueSox are paid up for 2023 & whatever time you pick for the draft works for me ... and ... just a reminder to our UK friends ... Sun March 19th is British Mother's Day this year. I think we got them in trouble last year with our draft day .. Looking

Hi all, please welcome Scott (straum) as the new manager of Chin Music!
I'm jumping in as the new Commissioner. I had two things to address: first, if you are planning on not returning returning for next season, please let me know immediately.
Secondly, I wanted to get feedback for dates/times for our draft. Would a Saturday evening (UK) / late morning or early afternoon (US) generally work for the group?
-
Hey Chin, I appreciate the job you have done as commish. Thanks! Congrats on the growing family!
I believe Adam can be a great commish as your replacement!
-
Chris and I are in favor of Adam as commish!
And yes sorry to see you leave Chin Music, but congrats on the family addition.
