• Reminder! The Friends O’Clyde Season 3 auction draft will begin tomorrow at 6:00 PM ET. Good luck with any last minute draft prep - I’m looking forward to it!
  
  If anyone can’t make it for some reason or plans to be late, let me know (Mantequilla I know you may be late, but hoping you’ll join us when/if you can.)

  Junior Mints on March 18, 2023 10:31 PM

• Works for me!

  The Van Buren Boys on February 16, 2023 2:09 PM

• I think we'll keep the draft day as March 19, potentially moving the time to a little earlier in the day than currently scheduled. Phightin Phils will be back, he is just taking his time to renew. That's all the updates I have for now.

  Junior Mints on February 16, 2023 1:46 PM

• I'm in for a late Feb draft

  Mantequilla on February 11, 2023 10:01 PM

• Yeah I suck. I also meant to do more research and cut at least 2-3 more pitchers!

  Foolish Gold on February 10, 2023 1:22 PM

• I'm thinking they just forgot to ante-up. We need you Phils and Mullet!

  Puddy on February 10, 2023 11:16 AM

• Uh oh... looks like two non-renewals even after cuts were made by the two teams. Any chance the Phightin Phils and Mullet might be with us for the season? Also, fine with late February or the March date for the draft.

  Big Papi memories on February 10, 2023 11:14 AM

• Are we still shooting for the end of Feb for our draft?

  River City Rascals on February 5, 2023 10:16 PM

• @2016Dream, I would just plan to withdraw the trade at a certain time tomorrow before the deadline and make sure you cut the players you intend to cut. If the trade is agreed upon and then subsequently vetoed/nullified during the 24 review period which could overlap with the cut deadline, I would be open to allowing penalty-free cuts of any players involved.

  Junior Mints on January 30, 2023 12:59 PM

• Junior Mints/Commish: I have a pending trade with no response yet. If that is not resolved by tomorrow night, what recourse do I have if I decide to cut any of the players on my trade block?

  Puddy on January 30, 2023 11:22 AM

• The deadline for penalty-free cuts is tomorrow at midnight ET! If you haven't made cuts yet, do it soon.
  
  Also, thanks to everyone who has already taken care of their team fee for this season. For those who haven't, please make your payments by tomorrow's deadline. Thanks in advance!

  Junior Mints on January 30, 2023 9:59 AM

• in the timeless words of Hoosiers coach Norman Dale..."My team is on the floor"...good luck to all the Friends of Clyde this season

  Mantequilla on January 29, 2023 4:54 PM

• Junior Mints open to trades through end of today, after which we’ll make cuts and start to prepare for the draft. No player is off limits.

  Junior Mints on January 28, 2023 1:42 PM

• There's been a run on the shop, but the shop's still open!

  Big Papi memories on January 27, 2023 10:12 AM

• Tiedeman for Nootbaar, very nice

  Junior Mints on January 25, 2023 10:47 PM

• Welcome aboard Green Monsters!

  Puddy on January 25, 2023 7:40 PM

• Hi everyone! My name's Evan, (LightenUpFG on Fangraphs), glad to be a part of the league. I'm a Red Sox fan, and though the Pesky Poles is of course a fantastic team name, I went to the other side of the park for the new name. Still sorting out this Ottoneu thing, but feel free to send offers along if you like. The previous manager left some pretty good options so I'm looking forward to the season!

  Big Papi memories on January 25, 2023 6:29 PM

• I'm happy to welcome the new GM for Pesky Poles, vinyldude, who discovered our league through the Ottoneu Community forums.

  Junior Mints on January 25, 2023 5:54 PM

• Hey Everyone, just a friendly reminder that league fees are due by end of the month. If everyone could take care of this on time I'd appreciate it!
  
  Still searching for a new GM to take over Pesky Poles...

  Junior Mints on January 23, 2023 10:29 PM

• I'd like to be a more active trade partner but my players watched "Miracle" together one time and now keep telling me they're a "family"

  Mantequilla on January 20, 2023 7:53 PM

• I can make the afternoon Eastern Time work on Feb. 25th or afternoon/evening of Feb. 26th. The March 19 date is good, too. Thanks Junior!

  Puddy on January 19, 2023 12:33 PM

• Usually I like to draft right before the season starts to get the latest on injuries etc. However since I am already being a pain for possible draft days, I am for any date that I am free. And those two days fit right in. So Feb 25 or 26 would be fine. Hopefully more managers are active this trading season....excluding Mantequilla of course.

  River City Rascals on January 19, 2023 11:02 AM

• Just thinking out load... anyone opposed to doing the draft earlier than we've done in the past? I'm eyeing either February 25 or 26. This would give a few weeks after the draft to wheel and deal to round out rosters before Opening Day.

  Junior Mints on January 19, 2023 10:48 AM

• If anyone else has draft conflicts let me know. Tentatively scheduled the draft for March 19 but can easily change this if it ends up not being a good time.

  Junior Mints on January 19, 2023 9:50 AM

• Hey all. Regarding the draft, I am out Mar 5-Mar 12 and Mar 17, 18. If we can work around those dates, that would be great.

  River City Rascals on January 19, 2023 9:44 AM

• Hey Mantequilla - my trade block is up to date. Happy to talk trade possibilities before I make cuts. I’ll probably make all my cuts on 1/30 just to leave the door open…

  Junior Mints on January 17, 2023 9:50 PM

• I sure wish I'd known y'all planned to drop these guys...there's more than a handful that I would have liked to have made offers for rather than have to bid on them at the auction

  Mantequilla on January 17, 2023 7:54 PM

• Yep, any cuts made before midnight ET on January 31 carry no penalty.

  Junior Mints on January 17, 2023 11:13 AM

• S o we can cut without penalty now?

  sIcKSinker on January 17, 2023 10:58 AM

• Happy New Year!
  
  We're two weeks away from the cut deadline - it's coming fast! Don't forget to clear salary room for the draft. Trades can also be made at this time.
  
  I'm looking for a replacement GM for Pesky Poles still, if anyone knows someone who's interested pass their info along and I'll get in touch with them.
  
  I'll follow up soon with some draft options - but it will probably take a few hours and I'll aim for a weekend timeslot.

  Junior Mints on January 17, 2023 10:56 AM

• We made it through arb, which means we can take a break for a little while. The next deadline is the keeper (i.e. free cut) deadline on January 31. Until then, enjoy the hot stove news, World Cup, and whatever other sport you tune into this time of year.
  
  There will be one vacancy as we'll be bidding farewell to Pesky Poles. If there are any other teams that do not plan to return, let me know asap so I can get the wheels in motion for a replacement GM.

  Junior Mints on November 15, 2022 10:49 AM

• I feel like with my record, I was the spirit animal of the Phillies…but managed to win it all. Looking forward to next season!

  Foolish Gold on November 14, 2022 12:53 PM

• Lol!! Hard to tell tone on messaging! This is a great league
  Thanks M

  Puddy on November 10, 2022 10:05 PM

• need to add emojis...truly I'm just jabbing the champ and the commish

  Mantequilla on November 10, 2022 10:02 PM

• sorry...I was just joking...guess my tone was WAY too serious

  Mantequilla on November 10, 2022 10:01 PM

• I understand your frustration Mantequilla but I think you’re splitting hairs. You, Mullet and Mints are $2 apart and your team arguably had the best performance through the season. It says you picked up some bargains and this process helps correct it.

  Puddy on November 10, 2022 9:43 PM

• ...and if that wasn't compelling enough, Mints outscored BOTH Championship teams by 300-500 points each in the final playoff round and still Mantequilla is getting the most allocation $$$

  Mantequilla on November 10, 2022 9:25 PM

• ok...how is it that Mullet wins the championship but Mantequilla is getting the most allocation $$$

  Mantequilla on November 10, 2022 9:16 PM

• Thanks to everyone who has allocated their arbitration budget. We are nearing the deadline so for those who haven’t done so, please complete arb by Monday. Thanks!

  Junior Mints on November 9, 2022 9:23 AM

• We have entered the arbitration period.
  
  Please allocate your allocation dollars - this is a critical part of the game to keep the league competitive!
  
  If you have any questions about the arb process please let me know.

  Junior Mints on October 15, 2022 10:09 AM

• Thanks all. Just glad I didn’t face Chet this week! Great season everyone.

  Foolish Gold on October 6, 2022 7:42 AM

• congratulations Smoltz...well deserved championship...

  Mantequilla on October 5, 2022 8:39 PM

• I’ve learned that the playoffs are still live through Wednesdays games. Good luck to Mantequilla and JS Mullet these next few days!

  Junior Mints on October 3, 2022 6:03 PM

• If anyone is not planning to return for next season, please let me know.

  Junior Mints on October 3, 2022 3:49 PM

• Thanks for a great season everyone - and congrats to this years league winner: John Smoltzs Mullet!

  Junior Mints on October 3, 2022 3:48 PM

• Ahh. Thank you

  River City Rascals on September 20, 2022 12:36 PM

• The GS restarts on Monday

  Mantequilla on September 19, 2022 7:33 PM

• I realize that the playoff dates show all the way out to Oct 2 but the "remaining starts" only show 10. Will this be updated at the start of the 2nd week? Or do we only get 10 starts for these 2 weeks?

  River City Rascals on September 19, 2022 12:03 PM

• Finals and third place matchups run for 2 weeks.

  Junior Mints on September 19, 2022 11:24 AM

• Thanks Chet! Hoping Judge and my pitching rotation can hold it together one more week.
