Hello, my name is Jason Gorman. I am excited to be in this league. I have played in a similar league before. I cut some people just to mess around with the web site. Then when I tried to finish up my cuts for the draft and it won't let me cut them now. Also is there a place to see the available players? Good luck everyone

March 19 works for me if it’s after 9pm ET. Thanks

19th works for me. @Lou Browns... The wife being out of town is your opportunity to be a rockstar dad. Order pizza, pick up some ice cream, maybe have a movie ready. That will buy you more than enough time to drop in and draft 10 guys for your $40, don't bother joining for the beginning high dollar guys. If you want a particular player, let me know and I'm sure we can work something out for Devers or Riley.
Your welcome.

I'm in as a 'Maybe' for March 19th but I can definitely do 9 PM that night (just not earlier then 8 PM that night). March 11th at 10 PM sounds like an awfully late night to start the work week but is fine if it's the only day/time that works for everyone.
-
March 19 at 9pm ET works for me. I could also be avail. Mon. 3/11 if we started at 10 ET.
-
I should stop playing auction leagues until my kids are older - apologies
-
I can't do 9pET (6p my time) on the 19th - my wife is traveling and I have to wrangle the 7 and 3.5 yr olds. Sorry this is the worst part of the day. I don't have much money to spend at draft so maybe I can just get someone to cover.
-
Based on the current poll results, how does March 19 at 9pm ET sound to everyone? Are there any objections to that date and time? Speak now!
-
No coaching or bath-time at 10am on a weekday! Just sayin' :)
-
The later the better for me (i.e. 9pm Eastern) since I coach and our season starts next week, but I can basically make anything work.

7 PM Eastern on weeknights would be difficult for. 8:30 or 9 PM Eastern would work much better.
I'm also ok with a slow draft but would prefer a single night draft.
-
No expectations but if people were free daytime hours that actually works better for me (little kids make mornings/evenings the hardest for me), so I’d be super happy if people wanted to try that. I’m on pacific time. I’ll make do whatever
-
I would vote slow draft or after 9pm eastern time personally. 7 pm eastern time is really difficult with my young kids

Alright, we’ve got a full league! If you haven’t filled out the draft day poll, please do so ASAP. As far as timing of the draft, it’ll probably be in the evening (7pm Eastern) unless everyone wants something different. If we can’t find a consensus draft date before the 20th, I’ll open up the polls for dates after the Korea series. And worst case scenario, we can do a slow draft via Couch Managers or something.
-
Hi everybody! I'm Don from Chicago, and I just joined the league. I was the commish of another league with a similar format/similar scoring for a decade, so I'm genuinely excited to join another established league. I look forward to bidding $195 on Yoan Moncada and finishing dead last in this rebuilding year.

Also, it might make sense to see availability after that opening two game series to give us more time to fill the league.

What time at night would we draft? There are a bunch of days that I could draft at 9 PM Eastern but couldn't make earlier than that.

Hmmm, it's worth a shot. I've put together a draft day poll: https://xoyondo.com/dp/iyzmbykvy5mksci
Please fill it out ASAP so we can get a date set.
-
I think we might have an easier time filling the teams if we have a draft date set. It seems counterintuitive but with a date set it shows that the league is still active and people looking on the Ottoneu available teams page are more likely to pick it up.

Good question - either we delay the start of the season or cancel the league. Is anyone else looking for new owners? I've exhausted all of my channels.
-
What happens the last two teams don't get new owners?
The Lou Browns on

-
Has anyone had any luck finding any new owners? I've posted on all of my channels. With the early games in Korea this year, we're running out of time to schedule our draft.
-
I should have a round of free cuts since I just picked up the team but if I have an issue I will let you know. Thanks!
-
Welcome! If you send me a list of cuts, I can take care of that
-
Hey all, glad to be aboard. I'll need to make cuts to get down below $400 and will do that in the next couple of days. Hopefully we can fill up the league.
-
We’ve got one new owner! And I posted about it on Slack and Twitter. If the three unresponsive teams don’t make their cuts today, I’ll abandon them tonight.
-
I plan on challenging for that title so I'm hoping we don't cancel!
-
We’re still inside the refund window, so I can cancel the league if that’s what everyone agrees on. I’d rather not (since I’ve got a championship to defend), but it’s an option.
-
Yeah, it’ll probably be a challenge to find 5 new owners. I’m happy to post on my various channels, but we’ll probably need more people working to find 5.
-
I doubt it, but if teams are in good shape, we could get some new owners (up to five, not sure)
-
It looks like we have two abandoned teams and three other teams with managers who share the same last name who haven't logged in for months. For those in this league for years, is it reasonable to get 5 new managers?
-
Sorry guys, but there are not enough engaged owners in this league. I enjoyed playing with all of you last season and hope you are able to continue as an active league, but I am going to abandon my team and move on.

Intend to be be very active as always
-
Before I reup for this league I want to make sure it is actually going to be viable. We have one abandoned team and we have at least four owners who have not been active on the site for over a month and a couple for 2 months or more. That having been said about half the league has been pretty active this off season. Can one of the commissioners let us know where we stand on renewals? I enjoy this league and am happy to stay, but not if it is going to be a zombie league.

Just a reminder that arbitration deadline is today.

I'm in for 2024, will have to drop other leagues but staying in this one
-
I've already heard from Youngbloods who isn't returning next year. Is there anyone else who isn't planning on playing next year? It'd be great to get new owners in the door before Arbitration begins.
-
Thanks! I'd personally like to thank Mookie Betts and my entire pitching staff for carrying the load this season. Already looking forward to next year!
-
Congratulations to Book of Bo. Well done.

PSA: After another 0-4, Correa was leapfrogged in p/g by Pirate SS Liover Peguero, who is available for $1 as a FA.
-
Not sure that “I wish I had made that trade qualifies” as a reason to veto, but the veto button is there for a reason.

Agree with Fielder's Choice's point. Not a fair exchange. Veto. Would love to have Pressly
and have several has-beens available.
-
You certainly have the right to veto if you want. Would have to be a lot worse for me to veto. Motivations here not as clear to me.

I'm not finishing in the money so I'm just keeping tabs for 2024, but it seems fishy. Correa blows (-10 WAR). Even if he turns into Babe Ruth for the next eight weeks, stinky fingers would at best finish 11th. Then keep Correa at $38 next year when there are 25 better SS for cheaper (p/g)? Meanwhile the rich get richer with a top 10 closer to seal the prize $?
-
What precisely concerns you about it?
RICOhtani on

Can anyone explain this accepted trade between the 1st and last place teams? I voted to veto, but I assume 1/2 the league won't do the same before it's processed.
-
I'd like to thank Mookie Betts for carrying my team through these last few weeks to get me over the cut line in OPL (and within striking distance of first place in this league).
-
Congrats to Book of Bo Bichette who made the OPL knockout round.

Hey folks! Just a quick reminder that this league is OPL eligible. If you finished 6th or above last season you can enter your squad to compete across all of Ottoneu in a super fun best ball format. Check out the rules & enter a squad here: https://ottoneu.fangraphs.com/opl/

I can't do Sunday so really would appreciate it if we can do this tonight.
