We're bending over backwards for the guy that has what, three days available overall and change the original date because the commish found out late he couldn't make it?

That's ridiculous to change the date this late. That's all.

Any of those three dates will work for me.
-
So March 21 no longer works for me. So the 27th will do. The 24 th is still possible

People do not seem to like the April dates, or that month is hellaciously busy. In any case, the draft is now set for the day with the fewest conflicts, 3/27. I don't like that even this leaves 3 managers out. I feel like something must be possible, but also an exigent need to set a date and stick to it. 3/21 and 3/24 were runner-ups if people have any wiggle room.
-
Well: The later dates are, I'd say, backups. We will try to find a day with 100% participation pre-Opening Day. But it's looking tough. Duly noted re: proxy if it comes to that. I'd personally have my preferences flipped from yours: I don't think it *truly* matters whether we start by Opening Day, but the draft is very exciting and also gives managers a chance to separate themselves. I've been part of a few leagues that did not start concurrent with the 'real' start and no problems.
-
Am I readying that form correctly that you're considering dates after opening day? Honestly I'd rather draft by proxy than miss the opportunity to draft before the start of the season. What about opening up additional draft times instead of days?
-
Hey all, sorry, I've not found an easier solution. Every time on the calendar had at least 2 missing owners. In the interest of finding something with better alignment, here is a new whenisgood that includes Fridays and Saturdays and goes out a little further than the existing survey. Sorry that you have to fill it in again, I couldn't figure out a way to edit the old one while keeping the same code: https://whenisgood.net/dcdp8pi
-
My availability is still the same as when I filled out the survey
-
My availability is pretty open. My whenisgood responses should still be accurate.
-
My availability can be fairly open, so happy to be flexible.

I’m out of the country until the 18th and my availability is unchanged from what I sent in earlier.

Hey all, I've had something come up on the 21st, and have also heard from two other managers unable to make that day, so I'm exploring other options. If I have to stick with the 21st and find a proxy I will, rest assured, but I want to at least check around to see if something else is possible, so watch your messages. Thanks all for bearing with it.

That did not age well.

Hey, if I'm lucky, Lux will be 2/5ths of the way toward SS eligibility before our season even starts!

Awesome -- thanks for managing all the logistics to get this figured out, Balking!
-
We have a draft date: March 21, 8 pm ET.
-
We have a four-way tie for draft day -- there are four different days when only one manager can't make it. I'll DM those managers to find out if any of those times are negotiable with enough advance notice.
-
Hi all, I've created a whenisgood poll to find out when we should hold our auction draft. We will get this done by Opening Day, March 28. Ideally, I would like to find a time that will work for everyone. This poll should help. Assume that any draft would be at 8 pm ET/5 pm PT. If we need to get more granular on times or open up Fridays/Saturdays, we can, but we should be able to find something here. Drafts usually take about three hours, IIRC.

Betts, Soto or Tucker must go. Maybe two of three. But it's not just them -- I'm very open to trading Happ, Arozarena, Muncy, Eloy, Bryant, Rizzo, McNeil, Snell, JorMont, Kelly. You know what it takes: I want to get cheaper and stay competitive. I can't keep them because I have too many keepable guys. But most of them will not be this cheap in the draft, when you can't count on anything, so jump in now. Wheeler, Devin for absolute prime pieces.
-
I'm interested in Rengifo.

lmk if you're interested in anyone on my team! happy to talk deals before the deadline
-
Hope we are all waking up from our baseball hibernation and ready for the keeper deadline at the end of January, a little less than a week away. You also need to pay your renewal fees ($20 for this league) by then.
This is a great time for engagement and trades -- I know that I have a lot of work cut out for me on that front and would love to be in touch!
-
I'm around to trade today.

Yes, it's January 31. It may *always* be January 31. If you're ever uncertain about these dates, you can find them by clicking on the wrench in the menu between trade and inbox and go to "Calendar & Finances."
-
What's the keeper deadline this year? Sometime towards the end of January again?
-
Reminder that there's about a week left for arb voting!
-
Hi all, arb voting is now open. Please make your vote-off selections by November 14. I will send another reminder when we are closer.
-
Thank you both. I'm glad to be our champion...it's been a wild season as always. 120+ transactions, many mistakes and much luck. Congrats to our regular-season champ La Pantera, who's let me know they'll be leaving -- so lmk if anyone has a friend they want to loop in. Thank you everyone for a collegial and competitive season. I'll be back in the offseason with more logistical check-ins, but for now, remember that you can make transactions until the end of the MLB regular season.
-
Three consecutive years of winning?! Congratulations, Balking Dead!!

Congratulations Balking Dead on winning the Championship! You had a great week and a great year!

Anybody want Trout for a playoff push? I'll entertain all offers, and would be particularly interested in SP

We will be changing our name due to Wander Franco's absolute idiocy.

Potentially looking to sell soon - less interested in long-term prospects compared to proven values or imminent prospects. Feel free to send any offers my way!

Clueless Joes…Do you want to negotiate via messages, Slack, or do you just want offers?

Selling pitchers and anything else. Looking for concentrated value keepers over lotto tickets.

Whoever is nominating 0% rostered Dominic Canzone, respect for finding this guy. Certainly he's on a bender. But also, if you need OF, ping me :)
-
I've apparently found the price point for pop-up starters
-
Just an FYI to everyone that there are still 60 spots left for 2023 OPL if anyone wants to play for cash prizes without joining another otto league.
-
Hi all, reminder that our draft is scheduled for THIS THURSDAY. I hope everyone can make it. If you can't make it, see if you can arrange a proxy -- a full draft room is really important to having a fair and competitive season. I'm really looking forward to it! And may the best team win in the WBC!
-
I missed the poll, but that date works well for me too -- thanks!
-
Typo of course: Thursday March ***23***
-
We have a draft date! Nice and close to Opening Day. Big thanks to those who may have to move some things around to make it, but sounds like we should all be there. Thursday March 22. I've got it set to 8 pm ET/5 pm PT. Looking forward to it!
-
Filled out when's good. I'd prefer as close to start of season as possible.
