LOL I agree, I have never seen anyone acquire quite as much talent while being quite as disengaged as PM. Very impressive in its own way, guy obviously knows what he’s doing, but honestly I’ve been expecting him to just ghost an offseason and drop out of the league for at least 3 seasons now.
-
That's fair. I'll post to the owners wanted channel. If someone can post in slack that'd be great. Let's try to get these guys filled quick.

I personally don’t want either back. Active would be the last word I’d use to describe either one. Prospectus was great at finding talent in the draft but a horrible in season manager. If they can’t be bothered to pay in time, let’s find owners who are hopefully more engaged.
-
it's beyond me how you forget, besides your reminder it is in red on top of your team telling you when you are close to expiring and to renew.
-
Ugh. I messaged both of them a few days ago as a reminder to pay for the new season but I guess they forgot. Both seemed active (especially Prospectus), so I wonder if we can get them back? Does anyone play with them in another league and could DM them to see if they're interested in coming back? I'll post in the meantime to see if we can get interest from any new owners just in case

Thats rough...Prospectus' team should get filled in about 2 seconds. Loaded with talent/surplus if/when it gets posted.
-
well looks like we lost two more teams as corpus christi and prospectus have expired..and new team still needs to do cuts..not in fine shape here
-
Jose Ramirez, Alec Bohm, JP Crawford, Nick Castellanos, Alex Verdugo, Brandon Marsh, Josh Naylor, Joe Ryan, and Yennier Cano are amongst the most available assets if anyone wants to flip something for them after the draft
-
Yes, at the top of my screen it says ‘ Since you just claimed this team, you have one round of penalty-free cuts.’ So I’ll work on that
-
Welcome to the league!

Oh, terrific! Thanks Billboard, and I apologize for not knowing!
-
I think penalty free cuts is an established Ottoneu rule. And welcome new owner.
-
Welcome, new Spiders owner! I am pretty new at all of this, but I've seen on other "new owner" postings some references to a "round of penalty free cuts" for an owner picking up an existing team. If that is a thing, and if that courtesy can be extended to the new owner, I'd be in favor. I'm not sure the Spiders did much housecleaning at the end, and, even if they did, would support the new owner getting to trim now if he would like to adjust to his own liking. Thanks all.
-
Welcome aboard!

Welcome to the league!

Hi all, taking over the Cleveland Spiders; I appreciate you letting me in Soriano. I’ll be changing the name shortly.
I know we can’t trade yet, but if anyone wants to let me know who they would like on my team, I’m game to start talking trade for post-draft. I’d be fine to cover any loans to make it cap-neutral as well if you are concerned about any prices. Thank you, and looking forward to enjoying this with you all
-
Good call, just abandoned it
-
abandoning the team would help
-
Sorry for the delay here, Cleveland Spiders let me know a couple days ago that he's no longer in for next season. I'll post on the ottoneu message board, but if someone can post on slack as well that'd be great
-
Not a good look industry guy...ha
-
We have a team not under cap
-
Hey all, there's an opening in league 1222 that just opened up. $250 5x5 with engaged and competitive owners (except for the guy that just left...ha). I pasted a link to the open team: https://ottoneu.fangraphs.com/1222/team?team=8766.

Ok I just heard back that if we draft after the Mar 20-21 games, stats will be zeroed out. That would be bad, so let's shoot for Mar 19. I'm going to set the draft for Tues Mar 19 at 8pm ET/5pm PT. Please message here by Jan 31 if this time does NOT work for you. Thanks!

I can do 19th
-
I'd rather do the 19th, I don't want to draft after the season starts.
-
19th works just as well for me
-
Fair. I'll reach out Niv to see how these games will be handled if we draft afterwards. I'll give an update once I hear back. Please still chime in though if either Mar 19 or Mar 24 absolutely won't work for you.

Sorry, that wasn't English, if we don't get to count those stats retroactively, I'd be against missing those games. If you're heavy Dodgers/Padres would really hurt your roster.
-
If we aren't retroactively counting stats from those games, I'd be very against not counting those games.
-
Yeah there are 2 games (Dodgers v Padres) on Mar 20-21. I figured since that's <0.1% of the total games played it wasn't a big deal (and I believe whatever your default roster is after the draft, you'd retroactively accumulate stats for any players in your lineup that played in those games), but one alternative would be to do the night of Tues Mar 19. There was about the same availability for the 19th as the 24th. Would you all rather do a Tues night?

I think March 28 is opening day
-
You do know that there are 2 mlb games before 24th right?
-
Hey guys, still waiting on a couple responses to the form, but wanted to see if Sun Mar 24 would work as a tentative draft date? There were a few maybes on that day, and there were some days earlier on that had good availability but would be before/early in spring training, so wanted to check if 3/24 works. Can anyone absolutely not do that date or only have availability part of the day?
-
I filled it out, but I can do any night after 6pm CT
-
Looks like we have responses from half the league, would be great if everyone else can get their dates in ASAP, thanks! https://whenavailable.com/event/7mejqpQHCpyTiVDU8
-
hey guys, please add ALL dates you can make for this year's draft, and we'll pick an exact time once we know what day works for everyone. https://whenavailable.com/event/7mejqpQHCpyTiVDU8
-
one of the leagues I'm in has a team available $100 league..league name is Heavy Lumber League if interested.

Thanks for the welcome guys

Hey all, unfortunately we're looking for a new owner again for Darth SABR. Please let me know if you get any leads! Last spot to fill!
-
Welcome, and yes I can attest to that lol
-
Welcome to the league
-
Thanks - a couple guys I play with in other leagues can attest, my whole team is always open for trades
-
Welcome!
-
Welcome to the league! Looks like we’re all set now for 2024 owners
-
hey guys, I'd been chatting over the last few days with the owner who just took over Drunk Reality. He was a longtime Ottoneu player who wanted to co-manage with his son. It sounds like after he took it over, his son backed out, so he couldn't commit. Unfortunately we're back to square one here and still looking for a new owner. Please put out the word so we can try to find a new owner soon! Thanks
