I don’t mind staying, I created the league, after all. I’m just frustrated with constantly recruiting. Being Commish is easy. It’s the frustration of bringing in new blood, watching them (usually) dismantle a team with bad trades, poor drafting, not picking up players in-season…and then having to find someone willing to do a rebuild.
-
FWIW...I am in a league that had something similar occur 2 seasons ago but we didn't find out about people not coming back until late February or early March. We were able to fill the multiple empty spots and the league is better and still going.
-
My suggestion...it's October 5. The teams are posted as being available. No harm at this point of letting it play out and seeing if we can refill the league. If it does not come together, we can always disband it in March.
RL, I'll share commissioner duties with you if you want to spread the workload.
Eddie, if you no longer have the commissioner duties, are you staying?
Everyone else, let us know if you intend to stay ASAP.

Yabbadabadoo also left…
-
Sayls, Rosemere, Puig and Lg ghosted us. Ottobots had told me he was done. I was leaving. 6 is definitely a steep task. Several other leagues that I’m in have had guys leave as soon as the season ended. Finding 5 or 6 good guys to replace so many teams is gonna be tough.
-
ah well I see now that minimum we're looking at 6 which is likely too steep a task. thoughts anyone else?

How many spots are we definitely looking to fill here? I'll take over commish, but if like only 4 of us want to keep it alive then it probably should die.

Sayls, Rosemere, Puig and LG had all bailed out a few months ago. Ottobots had notified me he was leaving. I’m in 10 leagues. This one is BY FAR the least active. I decided to bail. I posted that I was leaving, asked if anyone was interested in taking over. No reply. I honestly didn’t think anyone cared. Probably could have handled it better. I reacted out of frustration. That said, I apologize for my quick reaction.
-
Same question! I would love to keep it alive, yesterday was so confusing.

What exactly happened yesterday? Within a 3 minute span, 6 teams were abandoned, which seems odd for that many teams to bail in such a short time period. Then the league is disbanded 6 minutes later and disappeared from my dashboard. And...now, this morning, the league is at least back? I'd like to see it continue. Just trying to figure out what is going on.
-
Jeff, I sent you a text a few minutes ago
-
By the looks of this mass exodus, I'd say the answer is "no".

Best wishes, Michel!

Life has changed a lot and I can’t do this league anymore. Left my team in decent shape for someone to take over. Please abandon. Best of luck everyone.

All, I’ve decided to cut back on my leagues next season. Is anyone interested in taking over as Commish?
-
Congrats SF!
-
Thanks so much! Fun season in a league filled with great players.

Having fallen 500+ points back from 3 teams in front of me, going into selling mode. Buehler and others available. All reasonable inquiries and offers welcomed.
-
Acuna is available
-
Great baseball name, Ranger Suarez
-
Scherzer (and a loan if needed) is available.
-
I have relief pitching for sale.
-
Yes there is. When you cut a player, you get a 50% cap hit. In 30 days, you can reaction that player and cut him again with the cap hit being reduced to 50 of his new salary. E.g. $12 player cut leaves a $6 cap hit. 30 days later you reaction the player and win him at $6. You cut him again and the cap hit is now $3 (50% of $3). You now have $3 more cap room.
-
No judgment but is there a strategy to picking up a player and then immediately cutting him? Am I missing something? I’ve seen it a few times and don’t get it. Or is it just teams changing their mind...
-
Yelich is available
-
:) just one day of the season, though. Great to have baseball back!

I texted him. He’s going to fix it. We have several “newer” players who still aren’t used to Otto rules.
-
LG may not realize that his roster is in an invalid state. Don't think he can draft until that's resolved.

He renewed. 🤷♂️
-
Do we know if LG is coming back?
-
Today is cut day! Make sure you are at no more than 40 players and $400. Another note: you need enough $ to fill out your roster with $1 players... If you have 31 players, your "cap" is $391. Also, remember to pay league dues if you haven't done so!

Thanks Unit! Everyone has to renew your team by 1/31. I’m not sure what happens if you miss the deadline, but I think it might abandon your team on you.
Also, keeper deadline is same day, 1/31!
-
Thanks Eddie, you are already running a tight ship, but my one commish item: make sure you renew your league dues/cost. I think everyone's should be due on 1/31. Easiest way I know to do this is on the Ottoneu Dashboard/home page. Let me know if you have issues; not doing this by 1/31 can have Ottoneu boot you from your team!

Hey guys, I’ve added Big Unit as a Co-Commish. I’m not going anywhere but if for some reason I suddenly got hit by a bus, BU would have the ability to handle replacing me. Hard to do, I know, but it would have to be attempted. 😉

Thank you...glad to be here!
