Glad you can make it. I think through the year I've drafted working, cooking, bathing children and probably a few other things I can't remember. It's always a challenge to get everyone together, so thanks to all for being accommodating. I'm looking forward to the draft, it's always unpredictable and a ton of fun.

The 8th is fine with me. Happy to not be working during the proposed draft time like I was last year haha.

March 8 is looking like the draft date. For any of the teams who haven’t filled out the poll, please let me know if that date doesn’t work for you. Otherwise, we’ll plan to get started at 9 pm EST.

Either of those dates would be ideal, as I've already got two drafts tentatively scheduled for the 21st.

Just a reminder to fill out the Doodl poll for Draft Date please! We have about half of the teams reporting and March 8 and 14 are looking like good dates for everyone so far.

I'd like to get a date on the calendar for the Auction Draft in the next week or so. Please take a few minutes to fill out the Doodl Poll at the link below with every day that you are available. Every day that I'm available in March is listed. https://doodle.com/poll/chii93fgc5cutkix?utm_source=poll&utm_medium=link

Alright, milb rosters have been updated. If you see anything amiss please let me know. Next order of business, I'd like to start working on a date for the Auction Draft. The MLB season is scheduled to start on time, April 1, at the moment. Of course if the season is delayed we can always push the auction back accordingly. Does anyone have a preference for drafting early vs closer to the season?

I am not interested in doing an milb draft this year. They are trying to start the season on time unlike last year. I don't really want to get into the reasons why I don't want one. Just voicing my opinion since nobody asked the new owners if they wanted to run another draft this year. If most people want it again I would participate to the fullest of my ability without complaint

Good question. No, you do not have to cut or promote. You can leave players on your milb roster from year to year. Promoting or cutting opens up spots to draft. If you have 5 or more (max of 10) players on the roster you will not be able to draft in the milb portion.

Q about the MILB roster: do we HAVE to make a choice between cutting and promoting the players from there? Or can we leave players there now and just draft fewer than 5 minor guys in that supplemental draft?

Great to see the flurry of activity over the last few days. This is as active as the league has been during my time. A couple of reminders. 1.) If you haven't paid dues please do so asap, they are due at the keeper deadline. If unpaid, you will lose control of your team 2.) The Keeper deadline for the 40 man and Milb roster is upon us. If you want to promote or cut Milb players, please request doing so on the message board so that all can see. I'll execute changes as quickly as I can.

For those of you looking to make moves prior to the deadline, I find the Trade Block particularly useful. Mine will be updated here shortly. Hopefully we'll see some action.

Good morning all. We're about two weeks away from the Keeper Deadline for both the major league and minor league rosters. Please make sure your rosters are legal before the deadline. All of the MiLB rosters are up to date in the Google Sheet, and MiLB cuts/promotions can be made to the message board before the deadline. We did have a question from one of the owners about whether we should continue with the MiLB rosters. If anyone feels similarly feel free to speak up.

Welcome Andy, you’re allowed to keep a max of 5 milb players. Cuts are due at the same time as your 40 man and can be posted to the message board. After the main draft, we’ll run a slow draft to fill open milb slots. All players have a $1 salary when called up, doesn’t matter how long they’ve been on your milb roster. You can call players up prior to their major league debut to create roster space. Once they make their debut they have to be added. Here’s an article that breaks down the basics -

(cont.) Does everyone on the minor league squad get that $1 salary when brought up, or let's say I have an 18-year-old and I keep him year after until he debuts at 22, does his starting salary change? Anything else I should know? Thanks.
-
Hey everyone, I'm Andy, new owner of team Red (new name TBD). I'm looking for some clarification about the 5-man minor league rosters so I know what's going on for offseason transactions. Here's what I know so far: I have a 5-player minor league reserve squad, and if they get called up during the season they get a $1 salary. Things I need to know: Do we carry over all of those 5 players into next season and draft another 5-man squad? Or do we all keep a max of 5 minor reserves at one time?

Arbitration ends tomorrow, and trading season begins! Get those allocations in. A reminder that you must allocate all $25 or none of it counts.

Looks like our team in need of ownership has been claimed, please welcome AWS to the league. Also a reminder that arbitration is open. Looks like a few you have already made a start. If you're planning to wait deeper into the arb period for strategy purposes, please shoot me a message so I don't hassle you about getting that taken care of.

Thank you to everyone for a great year. Next up is arbitration. Here is a primer for those who have not been through the process before. https://fantasy.fangraphs.com/ottoneu-arbitration-guide/. If you are planning to wait until the end of arbitration to allocate, please shoot me a note so I don't hassle you and even if you aren't planning to play next year please wait to drop your team until you complete arbitration. Finding new owners at this time of year is challenging.

We are adhering to Milb call ups. Busy weekend professionally for me, I'll make the appropriate adds today around noon to give you and Rusty time to get rosters set before needing to make a cut. Rules state that a player has to be called up within 48 hours of first AB or IP so we're still within the window on both. If you'd like someone added earlier than that to use in your lineup, please let me know.

While "call ups" were never really addressed, this link -https://fantasy.fangraphs.com/ottoneu-101-the-5milb-structure/ - was referenced. It states that a prospect should be added for $1 within 48 hours of their first PA/IP

Are those transactions by request or mandatory due to them being on the big league roster? Sorry if that is clearly stated somewhere.
Side note but while we are on the topic... I appreciate how our league has handled the MiLB roster addition so far. This season is obviously unchartered waters in many respects. I like that we tried something new and have been understanding while we get used to it. Every issue so far has been discussed respectfully.
Great job, Commish, and everyone else.

Commish, are we adhering to the 5milb roster template? If so, I think we have a couple of roster moves to make. Andres Gimenez on my roster would need to be added today. Also, Brady Singer debuted yesterday and would need to be added by tomorrow.
