Ya I was looking to add one more league and I saw this one pop up. Looks like this one is pretty active so i took a chance
-
Whats up guys, Just claimed this team. If I have the rules right I get one round of free cuts?

That team will have no problem getting claimed. Trust me.

However, if the team happens to go unclaimed, I'll strip the entire roster and we just might have to go with 11. Idk what to do then.

I'm good with that. I just want whatever the majority of the league votes for. But I agree that it would be keeping the team in place for a new owner - if that's the route we go. I would start stripping players. It's either all or nothing.

I agree, a round of penalty-free cuts is the standard solution here. We shouldn't have any trouble finding someone.
-
I like it. Just whoever takes over, they let the Commish know who he/she wants to cut. No penalties. Is it hard to get somebody to take over post deadline?
-
Since our draft isn't shaping up until 3/19, we have until then to get a new owner. I'll tally a 3rd vote to just let that team stand as is until we get a new owner.

let the new owner notify the commish how to get roster complaint at no penalty. those players cut could obviously not be claimed by anyone.

Also, no one should be able to claim any cut players because all of our rosters should be locked from claiming or trading right now. I think you should simply say upfront that whoever is cut from the El Macho team will not be able to be claimed until the auction. If any claim is still made after that, you can manually cut that player from their team.

I don't think it's right that we cut the players for whoever the new owner is going to be. As commissioner, you're able to let to allow a new owner to make cuts without penalties. Let the new owner decide who they want to cut. That's my vote.

I don't think my last message posted: If we elect to keep the team in tact, I would keep the roster the exact same and give the owner a few days to give me a list of everyone they wish to have cut. It would be a one time cut at no penalty to the team.

That's fair. I understand where you're coming from with that. However, I feel like the cutting of the roster would lead to 2 or more teams having the opportunity to sign the players they need to compete this year. Maybe I'm wrong? Thoughts from anyone? Just looking for all the input I can get.

Cut Price ($42), Cespedes ($30), and RIP Fernandez ($28) and he is under budget. Cespedes and Price are at least $4 overpaid and God has taken Jose Fernandez from us. That's $100 with only 3 players. If the new owner wants to buy them, he can get them for similar prices.

I have 2 main worries with cutting his entire roster.
1. There are already 5 teams with half rosters or lower (20/40). If you add another to the mix, there will be about 4 teams competing to win and 8 rebuilding.
2. If you want to attract someone, I would rather have pieces to build around instead of going completely blind into an auction where the above is the scenario.

Also, he was over by $98 haha. That's going to take some serious trimming to get back under.

However, this is my first ever league being a commish, so I'm not sure I'm right about this lol. And Rear, that is definitely a possibility, but is it fair to the whole league? It's not just about what's most fair to that owner. I'm just playing devils advocate lol.

As commish I can remove any of his players at no penalty to him/her. However, this team is already disadvantaged because he/she could have gotten value for some of those guys via a trade (even the higher priced ones). I think the most *fair* thing to do for the entire league is to clear the team. I think this also gives the new owner the best shot at keeping players he/she may like. Because 41 new players being dropped into the auction is going to artificially suppress prices in the draft too.

If you really want to do the new owner a solid, you could cut the highest paid players that are overpaid based on ottoneu avg prices (what most owners would have done if they were active). That way you're not just cutting somebody who is highly paid because they are good.

The auction date and time (3/19 7 PM EST/6 PM CST) works for me. Thanks. As for El Macho, I don't know. I like Admirals idea of cutting the highest priced players until he's under budget. I'm new to Ottoneu, so not sure what's even allowed.
-
We could also cut his highest paid players until he is under budget. That way the new owner has SOMETHING to start with. If we cut all his players his roster is completely bare and there are some guys that a new owner would be attracted to.

I agree. Letting someone start fresh.
-
el Macho is no longer playing. His team is over cap too. What is the recommendation of the league? My thought is to free up his entire team and if someone claims the team, they start from scratch. I'm not really sure how to handle it since we're past the deadline.

CST for me. 2/26, 3/12 or 3/19 would work for me. I will be out of the country on 2/19

el Macho signed on today. I have no idea if he's renewing or not. I'm good with 3/12 or 3/19.

looks like we need to find a new owner for el macho?

CST here as well and Sunday night's or mid week evenings work best for me. Thursdays-Saturdays are typically bad for me with my travel schedule.

CST here. 6PM CST on a Sunday night should work for me, except as already mentioned, 3/26 is not very good. I could make it work but would rather have another Sunday night.
-
I'm CST, but that's easy enough. Previously we've always done the draft on a Sunday night (somewhere around 6 pm CST/7 EST). However, the makeup of the league is changing so if you all have a different preference, that's fine.

I'm EST too, the "ideal" time for me would be like 7-11pm EST but with enough advance notice i'm good with anything that works for others.

So we have different time zones in the league? That would be a major factor....I am EST.

my only preference is for it not to be between 3/3 - 3/5, other than that i'm good with literally any time.
