Well, you signed one. I'm assuming the debt of Steinbrenner's Ghost. Will make a bunch of cuts tonight. And hello to you all.

i think i've got one new owner on board (he's mulling which team to choose, but should be with us soon enough). actively working on others. however, if any of you have candidates let's get them a team as soon as possible (Chaunceys, I think you mentioned someone?). ready to rock and roll, but need to have a full league to do it.
worst case, we might have to chop down to 10 teams, but obviously want to avoid that if at all possible.

everyone is currently open for one last round of cuts as well. choose wisely.

final draft date move - going with the 28th at 8PM. hopefully that gives everyone time to prepare, sort out any scheduling, and allows us to fill the last few spots. on to opening day!

I could do 21st, 27th, or 28th. I’m fine with doing a late start if needed.

I’m also good with either Friday referenced

I can do Friday (3/21), Thursday (3/27), or Friday (3/28). I would just request a late start 8:30 pm ET if possible. I have a baseball game on 3/21 and 3/27. Friday (3/28) could be earlier if need be.

Also, opening everyone up for one more round of cuts; I'll close this prior to draft. Please note that once you hit the cut button, it locks again. So if you're planning to cut multiple players, do it in one swoop via the "cut players" tab on your team's page.

how do we feel about either Friday night draft (3/21) or Opening Night draft (3/28; watch while we draft sort of thing)? Certainly want to get everyone on board, so trying to juggle these schedules.

definitely planning on one more cut opportunity for everyone; worth noting that you have to cut in bulk - once you hit the button the system locks again. I can open again, but obviously becomes an issue if everyone keeps needing unlocking over and over. Draft scheduling and finding owners seems the biggest challenge at the moment.

I think the new owners will need an additional cut period. I see Cruz has over $400 spent and appears to be locked from cutting more guys. Commish, could those teams (or everyone?) get freed up to cut before the draft?
I’m good any evenings but Saturdays for the draft. Thank you
-
Sorry to chime in late on this, but I have to be in Frankfort for a track meet on the 19th. 20th now also looking bad. I could still probably do the 16, or 21st or 22nd (after about 4:00) if those would work.

Ok, I know I said Sunday night, but 23rd is bad. I have to go out of town for work and will be tied on the night of the 23rd. I can do the following dates assuming nighttime drafts: March 16, 19, 20.

been meaning to post about draft day; still looking for 4 teams, and the current date actually doesn't work for me either. opening day for most teams is the 27th (Cubs/Dodgers in Japan on the 18th though). I'd propose a draft date of the 23rd, ignoring the early start for those two teams (shouldn't make much difference in the grand scheme), and hopefully getting full and possibly having one last round of cuts for everyone pre-draft to account for any last minute cuts/changes. Thoughts?

"Winning" has now had two new managers, both of whom asked me to abandon them almost immediately (didn't read the settings and bailed upon review, and meant to choose a different team respectively), so we're back to the drawing board there. Obviously still in need of some new owners, so if you know anyone...

I probably misread one of the messages in the thread. My bad Book of Bo. Official non-returners appear to be: New Sheriff in Town, Grizzlies and Steinbrenner's Ghost

Book of Bo is back baby!

Officially, per the comments here I show New Sheriff in Town, Book of Bo Bichette, Grizzlies and Steinbrenner's Ghost as non-returners. Ramblin and Cruz didn't do arbitration, but not sure of their status. Regardless, that leaves 3 of the top 4 finishers open this year, so presumably some pretty strong rosters to choose from, and yes we've generally let folks choose (open to thoughts of others though if that ought to change).

for new managers, I can switch ownership to any existing fangraphs/ottoneu user I think. key is that they have to be in the system (pay the $20 or whatever and have a user name; probably be parked on the "owner looking for team" list). see text from the change manager page: "If you do not see a username when searching, please have the user in question visit ottoneu.fangraphs.com while logged in to ensure they are in the system." anyone new from last year still here that re

Going to go ahead and push draft date back so we don't get stuck because i forget what month it is. can move again later when we know what works best for everyone. Keeper deadline will hold though at Jan 31.
