Hey, guys. Just claimed Bad News Bears. For what it's it worth, I'm pretty happy to have Dee Gordon!

I worried the trade would look shady. It had been sitting for a while. He accepted it then messaged me the next day about leaving. I should have posted that info right away...then if anyone had an issue, they could have vetoed...I apologize for that. If I hear from a consensus of owners...I will reverse the transaction.
-
Odd to make a trade then quit the league, but Gordon for Contreras was a good trade both ways I think.
-
I agree as well.True baseball fans (which I assume are the only ones who visit Fangraphs) don't go two months between checking on their team.
-
I completely agree. I'd much rather have a new owner by the end of the month. Before final cuts.

We have only 1 remaining inactive member...Seattle Pilots....last site visit Nov 18th. I have sent a message on the site, and 2 by his/her listed email address...with no response. That team has a late-Feb renewal date, and I don't want to wait that long to find out they are dropping out. If I can get agreement here...I will send a final notice and if I get no reply, we can look for a new owner. Thoughts?
-
I was messaged by Bad News Bears shortly after our recent trade, and was asked to abandon his team...he is going to stick to cash prize leagues only, going forward. Teams are being picked up fast, so I look forward to a new owner soon. I hope he doesn't regret the trade the last owner just made, prior to expressing his wish to drop out.

Hey gang, My names Tony and I've claimed the VB boys, Hope that's OK. Looking forward to diving in. Cheers.
-
I spoke by email with the owner of VanBuren Boys. He indicated he would not be back, and I have marked his team abandoned. If any of you know a prospective owner....direct them to the abandoned team list...they won't have to renew until February.

Welcome aboard...we are happy to have you! Expect some offers to start rolling in.

Hey folks, I've claimed the Man o'fWAR team and renewed it through next year. Hope that's all right with everyone. Looking forward to the league! Will post a new trade block by this evening, but I'm open to all ideas -- send what offers you have!

Waveland & Clark's trade block has been updated!

I emailed and heard back from Waveland's owner...he is out for 2017. I will mark his and fWAR's team abandoned, to start the look for new owners.
-
That all sounds good and Friday should be ok.
-
That all sounds good to me. Glad we've been able to get the ball rolling on this so fast.
-
I am okay with that...if anyone else want to chime in. I looked at the owner page, and everyone else has been on the site since in the last month. Hopefully just Man o' fWAR and Waveland & Clark to go.
-
That all sounds good to me. Brad, do you want to abandon the teams that we know about? And then we can have the election on Friday. Does that sound good to everyone? Justin

Wow...that was quick. I contacted Niv...he got right back to me and assigned me as temporary co-commish. I am not trying to take it over...subverting the democratic process in any way. I will be happy to pass off the duties to whoever the league chooses as the commish tandem, moving forward. I just wanted to get things going. Brad
-
Sorry to see those guys go. I am completely for the dual commish idea proposed...it seems to be the norm in my other leagues. I think we should get on the control transfer ASAP...get the other inactives contacted and abandoned...if needed. Give the new owners as much time as possible. I am happy to send the email to the site operators, and would be comfortable with any of the names put forward for the new commish team.
-
Hi All,
I did manage to make allocations, but I don't think I'll be back next year. I also know Waveland and am pretty sure he won't be back either. So you should feel free to pick a new commissioner. Both of our teams are in decent shape, so there shouldn't be too much trouble finding new owners. Thanks for a fun few years.

And adjective noun' s idea for a date and election sounds fine with me.
-
I'm here! Sorry it took so long but have been working a lot of overtime leading to Christmas. I generally look in every other day or so. Always willing to listen to trade offers and such.
-
Good to hear from you Drifters. What about setting a date, like a week from now or so, for electing new commissioners? Give owners some time to check in. Then on the given date everyone posts two names, not their own, and we tally the results. Then we can contact NIV and they can check against our league message board to verify if need be.

I may have had the worst year ever last year but I'm still in! Missed allocations but will be more on top now that the hot stove is heating up
-
I remember a couple of years ago Waveland saying he didn't want to be commissioner. I think he's gone. I like the idea of two commissioners. There isn't really all that much to the job, but you need to at least be active. Any combination of the owners mentioned (including me) is fine with me.
-
Should we email NIV to see what his activity has been? Waveland didn't allocate, that's two months without activity. I'm willing to take over commissioner. I'll support Joe, Paranoid, and Blackout as commissioner too. Anyone that's active. Maybe it would be better to have two in order to avoid this situation in the future, regardless Waveland showing up or not.

We'll find out soon if there are abandoned teams. If we do, I'm not too worried, as there aren't any junk rosters and in the past the ghost teams have always been picked up. I too, am concerned about our Commish - Waveland and Clark. I appreciate what he has done, but there has been about zero leadership, which I must say is why this league is having problems. Hey Commish - if you are still reading this, I know that several of us would take on the commish role. Please communicate!
-
Wow. 24 hours and only 3 people respond. I know its the off season, but really? It takes two seconds to open the league home page, check the message board, and look at whether your message tab is red or green.

I am here...active as ever. I have had problem with responses from Wave, Bad News & Seattle, personally. I don't know about Winnemucca. I think I have been in touch with everyone else. Not bad...but Commish is concerning.
-
I get the feeling we may have a few abandoned teams in this league that we just don't know about yet - including, possibly, the commissioner. Can we get a roll call of who is still here and paying attention so that we can make a plan going forward. A league where only half the teams really participate isn't all that fun. Who's out there?
