3/22 is great for me, ideally early early morning Pacific time.

Please keep in mind that I'm in Europe.
Maybe we can set the draft start so that it is not too uncomfortable for me.

I am unavailable March 22 for the auction.

Welcome Papifantasy. Thank you for picking up Hillbilly WAR Machine. We look forward to having you in the league. Please make sure to pay the dues for the team asap. You get one round of cuts to get your roster legal prior to the auction.

I went ahead and abandoned HWM as Cliff did not respond to my email. The new owner will be able to make cuts.
-
Can we draft in early March at the earliest this year? We normally like to get it over with early, but I wouldn't mind having more time to think on it. Opening day is Thurs 3/26, so we could draft as late as the weekend of 3/21 -22.

I let a friend know that the team might be available - he's a Braves fan who covets Acuna. But I've been trying to convince him to join us for years now to no avail, so chances are he'll pass yet again.

As he hasn't picked it up yet, if a new owner comes in, it's pretty easy. Rules state that any new owner gets one round of free cuts.
-
He was last active on Jan 11th - good sign. He let his team expire on Jan 31st - bad sign. I think it's pretty likely HWM is abandoning.

If HBM just spaced the deadline and still wants to play, how about he misses the draft and cuts players as he wishes afterwards? If he doesn't want to play, then we could have the Commish drop players as requested by his replacement. A one-time cut that must be determined within say 24 hours of taking over. I think that's fair. The consequence of missing the drop deadline is skipping the draft.

That is the way it works. Whoever takes over the team gets one free round of cuts
Free Bauer on

The cuts should be made by whoever takes over the team. Simply cutting the most expensive players doesn’t make sense. I’ve taken over teams before and had the ability to make those moves myself.
Carita’s Sox on

Maybe we can contact him and ask what happend. If he doesn't want to play anymore, we can look for a new owner. If he intends to continue to play, he can tell us why he missed the deadline. Then we can decide what to do
-
I would like to hear from Cliff before we decide. He's been in this league a long time.
-
Shouldn't we boot an inactive manager and let a new make their own cuts?
-
I think the fairest way to do it is take the ottoneu surplus calculator and make the cuts based upon the biggest negative surplus. How many cuts you make could be to either just make his roster legal or to eliminate all negative surplus. This is an objective way to do it that also sets up the team reasonably well.

My opinion is that the commissioner cuts his most expensive player until his roster is valid. So for his team, it would be Stanton, then Votto then Acuna.
-
How do we go about this?

Hillbilly is still over the cap. We need to determine as a league which players should be cut.

According to rule VII.e.ii
Commissioners have the right to remove players from teams that are over limits after the keeper deadline in order to allow them to paricipate in the Auction Draft. Commissioners should work with the other owners in the league and use their best discretion in making these types of roster moves.

Several teams still have illegal rosters. Cuts are due in 2.5 hours.
-
Is anyone interested in trading for Bryce Harper?
-
Anyone up for a last second trade?
-
I went ahead and cut players down to core 2020 team a couple days early. Room to draft/pick-up ten, with $157 to spend, so I'll probably start the season with a little surplus. My only real need is Reliever, which I can get in draft or via Free Agency in reg season. I'll see who you all drop in a couple days and start planning draft strategy and targets. It should be a fun one, I'll be playing to win this time out. (Probably over-confidently, but the team might contend for 2 - 3 seasons.)

I only put the points up to show that the trade is not as one sided as you thought

Well as long as you're making the trade on purpose. I would recommend not only looking at points produced from last season though...
-
The points totals are basically the same Escobar 957 Peterson 764 Manea 147 against Bellinger 1240 Smith 550 my guy I get 1868 his guys he gets 1790 plus I pick up monet

To make sure i'm not crazy I posted the trade on otto slack and it received 14 votes for bellinger side, 0 votes for other side, and 8 votes that include emjois for: "poop", poop on fire", "steal" and "dumpster fire".
-
Yes. I'm saying I don't understand that deal but would like to try to before I veto it since it certainly looks veto-worthy
-
Are you saying I did not get enough?
Free Bauer on

So is that deal intentional? Definitely looks like pennies on the dollar for one of the best contracts in the league.

Bellinger is available for the right deal

Hi everyone. Happy to join the league! I'm @wahoo on ottoneu slack if you ever want to discuss trades :)

Please make sure to complete your arbitration allocations by tomorrow. I'm working on finding fill ins to take care of the two abandoned teams. They are public but yet to be picked up if anyone knows of a possible owner or two.

I'll reach out to owners in my other leagues. Occasionally one of them will say "what's that ottoneu all about"? But then they never actually play, so it's a long-shot.
