Frankly I don't mind the idea of offering a new owner $x in one-time "coupons" to reduce the salaries of any players of his choice as an incentive (assuming that's an option that's possible in the system?). Could scale it slightly be roster possibly. Maybe $5 for a strong one, and more like $10-15 for a weaker one. Or whatever number makes sense. Or we can give Cleveland that $48 Stanton I had to cut... :)
-
The good news is most of the available rosters have a number of appealing keepers on them. The Cleveland Spiders is probably more of a rebuild, but still has a number of reasonable keepers. The rest look pretty good to me. My worry is that there is like 100 available teams on the Dashboard (most in $20 tier), so I agree we might need to more proactively recruit new owners one way or another. Posting the openings on Slack hasn't helped thus far, though maybe if we offer some sort of incentive...
-
I'm willing to be patient, it might make sense to try and convince some active teams from another league with a lot of vacancies to move over here. Not sure if it makes sense to do some sort of one time incentives to make some of the bottom teams more attractive... Like let them reduce the salaries of a few players by x amount of dollars to give them a decent group of keepers to build from or something.
-
I've usually claimed a team in March or April. When you claim a team after 1/31, you're given an option to make penalty-free cuts. I'm a fan of patience and if the league needs to be disbanded at some point before the season, I'd imagine we could contact Ottoneu and work to get our funds back.

So, I guess time for the tough question ... thoughts on whether and/or how we can try to salvage this league with four openings and a fifth team that didn't make cuts?

I have the ability to take on a lot of salary. If you're looking to shed, let me know.

Back from my trip. I posted the three available teams on the Ottoneu Slack channel again a week or so ago, but no bites it appears. Other ideas on how we might be able to fill the openings? There are still a ton of available teams to be claimed on the dashboard, so might be wishful thinking to hope they will happen be claimed in the next few days on their own.

Hey Pleasant, my only hesitation is that I'll be out of the country much of the next few weeks, so I'm not sure how much help I can be with recruiting prior to the keeper deadline. That said, I posted the three openings on Slack a while ago with no bites. I think with the pricing changes there are a lot of available teams right now to compete with, especially in the $20 tier.
-
We currently have three vacant teams. If this league is to continue, I'll need someone willing to take up commish duties. I know it's partially my fault, but life events are making it so that I can't be around every single day/recruit new members. If someone is willing to help me out, please message me. I'd like this league to continue on if at all possible.

Looking to move a couple of my keepable 1B/3B options (Olson, Donaldson, Turner, Moustakas, Santana). Obviously asking price varies by talent and price. Willing to make any move that helps my team, but specifically targeting SP, OF and 2B.

I am looking for some OF help. I have non-Kopech prospects, and RPs like Kenley and Andrew Miller to help me make that happen.

David Price and Chris Archer would move for very small, yet still low cost keeper-worthy pieces.

Yeah, I felt like during that time we become best buds. Had to take him out behind the barn and end things though.
-
Huh, $3 draft pick in 2012 ... so I guess 7 years. Turned out to be a pretty good investment!
-
Wow, you had him for all eight years?
-
I think Edwin was my last OG player from when the league started. That hurt to cut him. :(

Actually, that's a great idea. Is anyone willing to help me out and complete arbitration for a team in another league I'm in? I'll offer to do the same as a trade! Team is Baby Bears in 285 (available to claim). Link to team: https://ottoneu.fangraphs.com/285/team?team=2184
-
Gotcha, ok, well thanks for helping out then!
-
I'm not a permanent member, was just asked on slack to temporarily join for arbitration. Commish, please go ahead and remove me from the team when you get the chance :)
