Okay, his term is up in ten days. Season's over for that team by then, so I sunt him an e-mail asking for earlier hari-kari. I am confident we will get some action on this team.

Shadow, I could cut all his players I could add bozos or prospects to his roster. But I cannot move dudes off the bench onto the starting lineup. Long ago we could see when a guy's subscription was up. Hart's has to be close to expired. Since he missed the draft and hasn't done Jack Spit since then, I would be happy to mark his ass up as Abandoned. Find his expiry date and let me know where to see it. We'll fix his little red wagon.

And you don't just 'pick them up'. They all go through the auction process. Takes a couple of days.

Hello! I just claimed Downingtown Browns, which looks to be in perfect shambles. Can't wait to get started. I'm a first-time caller long-time fan of the Ottoneu format. Prepare to be dominated by the Browns! Or utterly confused. Maybe both...

Knox's Angels's trade block has been updated!
-
With legalities out of the way, Welcome to Whiskey and Women! Most of us can handle neither, but WTF, we can dream, can't we?
I have never played in another Otto league; others may differ. It is very difficult to sell a trade in this league during the season. That annoyed me to no end for a couple of years, but It Is What It Is.
Nonetheless, we have several new members. Don't let our history become our future. Make reasonable offers, and sensible counters. We can do better.

Mook and Everybody Else: Read Otto's rule 1(a). You must pick up enough players to fill your roster's 22 active slots. Must is a pretty strong word. Please make that happen in your draft.

Hi all. Just claimed Calzone Zone. Now Knox's Angels. First time playing on ottoneu. Looking forward to playing this season.
-
Welcome to all the new guys. Just wanted to give everyone a head's up. I'm currently traveling AND I have another auction around the same time, the same day as our auction. Thankfully for me my team is basically intact, so it shouldn't be too much of an issue. Just wanted to let everyone in case I'm not super active in the draft.

Hi, I bought Vin Scully's Farmer John's for the challenge. :)
-
Hey all, just claimed Deadboys (now named Mookie Monster!) and excited for the season. Draft day works for me - looking forward to it!

I suppose you already said the word, Skull. I will click the Abandoned box and your team is on the market.

Say the word, Scully, and I will mark your team as Abandoned. We already have a couple of openings, but perhaps someone will fill them all.

Hi Folks. I will not be returning to the league, but noticed that I'm paid through April 3rd (after the draft). Is there any way to cut out early, so that if someone takes my team, they can participate in the draft?
-
Draft Date and Time Is Set For: Saturday, April 1, 2:00 p.m. EDST. It's two weeks away which leaves time for you to arrange your schedule. Oh, and MLB play begins April 2. Get ready, and let's make it happen!

Let's set a draft date and time. It is far from too early to do so.

And Deadman, the only reason I should be commissioner, other than that you won't even explain what the job involves, is that there are only 3 or 4 of us who give a damn about this league. However, I still want to know what the job requires.

What are the duties of an Otto league commissioner?
Magic Bus on

You all probably see a few changes made today. I am thinking I am exiting this league, but if I do, I wanted to leave it on competitive footing. Two teams asked to be abandoned and one team was over player allocation it was just working. If I give up, who wants to be commish. Tell me why you should be commish as well.
-
Draft Date? We have two talented teams who are unlikely to draft. One hasn't made an appearance n this league in a year. The other has 41 players but can't draft because we can't cut until after the draft. They may me picked up by newcomers, but whether they are or are not, both will need some time to pick up FA's and try to do deals. Therefore, I think we should draft on Saturday, March 18. 8:00 Eastern is 5:00 Pacific, and on a Saturday, with six weeks' notice, we can all adapt.

Down with the Brown: this league is dead only from the waist down. That fact makes the alive part too cautious to offer or accept trades, but it gives weaker teams a chance to become competitive in our short-handed drafts. Give it a chance. If not, I have a better opening in a Yahoo Head to Head league ... let me know, and thanks.

Hi guys. So I apologize for my team being pretty inactive. Really the result of me not really knowing what I'm doing, along with half the league being dead. I just didn't invest time in learning for a dead league. Looks like things are perking up, so I'll give it a run this season. Greg

Drop Your Duds. Get Ready to Draft. Here the rule:
VII. OFFSEASON
a. Between the end of the Major League Baseball regular season and the end of arbitration, players may be cut. Between the end of arbitration and the keeper deadline, players may be cut or traded. After the keeper deadline (Jan 31) and before the auction draft, teams may not cut or trade any players.
If you have more than $400 spent or more than 40 players, you cannot draft. Cut those guys b/c you can only draft MT slots.

It's good to see that we should have a much more competitive league next year. First off, six of us allocated, so even if you drop your team (which I hope you don't) you have helped balance things with Yu Du and Bomb Squad. There is at least one other strong team without an interested owner, leaving at most three weaklings who may struggle to find owners who will stay all year.
We may have the core of a real league here! Now let's do some deals beginning Nov 15.

Yo, NO PANTS. You can change your allocations 845 times between now and Nov 14. Go give it your best shot ... and if you change your mind, you have over a week to do so. ALLOCATE!

Idiot? Pork me! You would have come close to winning this MoFo had you got your innings pitched in. But to answer your question, go to the league's home page. Look at the top for a topic called Allocations. Click it and give everybody but me 2 or 3 extra dollars. Give me just one ... hit Hose Abreu por favor.
