Gentlemen, it’s been a pleasure. I wish you all the best as you take this league for the next ten years. Appreciate the opportunity to play with such fine folks.

The league has voted to remove Mike as owner of the Bleacher Bums. My search for a replacement owner is underway.

HBP (hitters) - House Targaryen (111) - HBPs are also trending upward for some reason. The league collectively got plunked 1,010 times.
K - House Targaryen (1,811) - Also not surprising given MLB trends
H allowed (min 1250 IP) - Aint No Vogelbach Girl (1,156) - A low innings total helped, but the Vogues had a tough staff.

End of season notes: The league collectively came up 5 points short of setting the aggregate points scored record set in 2017 (a year were even the last place team scored 15,000). Several league records were set this season:
ABs - The Syndicate (7,491) - He used every game played except for 6 in the OF. Well done!
2B - Vladimir (459)
HR - I Don't Know (374) - No surprise the HR record was broken this year

This is the first season (2019) the league winner scored less than 20,000 points since 2013

Great season, Strikes...congrats!

The last scores are in. Congratulations to the Lucky Strikes on their fine season! And congratulations to the Eckfords for holding off a late surge by the ghost team to stay out of the basement!

Reminder: Legal roster rules apply heading into the off-season. 60-day IL guys are fine but you must maintain a legal roster heading into arbitration. There are no "free players" just because it is the last few days of the year.

Welcome to the new folks!

Following the league constitution, I am also calling a vote on retention of owners. If there is an owner(s) that you believe should be replaced, please send me a direct message. 7 votes are needed to replace an owner.

On the Slack message board, Owen (I Don't Know What to Call this Team) also announced his departure. We will miss him and wish him well.
I put out a call for owners on Slack and the Ottoneu community board and already have two new owners lined up, at least one of whom is a very active member of the Ottoneu community. The other has done Ottoneu before but sat out this season after his league folded. He's ready to jump back in. The two rosters they are claiming are Lucky Strikes and I Don't Know.

I too will be departing. This season was absurd, I’m cutting down at least half my rosters. I’ll be glad to stick around for arb if needed
-
Owners, as you well know, Trey is going to take his trophy and ride off into the sunset. This will open up a manager spot in our league and someone will get to inherit a strong roster. If anyone has recommendations for a new owner, please let me know. We will also be voting next week on whether to remove any owners (following the League 52 constitution). I would like a full slate of managers to participate in arbitration, so any ownership changes need to happen quickly.

Just cracked 1000 points out the catcher position. My goal is 50 HRs (Garver hit #47 tonight).

I requested a loan from Ottoneu for a 2020 Trout but couldn’t get approved in time. 😢

looks like we need something more extreme to cause chaos in the league...

Hey that’s less than Trout’s average salary

I'm a White Sox fan. Kind of cheating because he will always be a south sider in my eyes but Chris Sale

Cubs, Jose Altuve (as the shrimpy kid in middle school, I gave up on my baseball dreams, but it didn't stop Altuve).

2 questions for you kids:
1) what team do you support?
2) who is your favorite player that is NOT on your favorite team?
I’m a Brave (of course) but I love how Brian Anderson of the Marlins plays the game.

I will dangle a $5 Ryu if anyone wants him - would be looking for high level prospects most likely

oh, sweet, I have like 10 RPs but I had shitty tony watson in the lineup last night for a -32. Brilliant managing

1,000 points would be just right to make things REALLY interesting over the next 60 days.

Thanks, everyone, for your support. Trey has granted me commissioner access to the league so I can start learning the ropes.

It’s a yes from me
-
Long may you reign, Steve
-
Thanks for your votes. I hope a few more teams will vote as a majority of owners voicing approval would give me that all-important "governing mandate"...

I wasn't impressed with your performance on last nights debate, but I'll go with my gut and vote yes.

Time to vote: Do you approve of Steve, manager of the Caimans, assuming the role of commissioner in 2020?

House Syndicate will stand behind House Caimans as we have for a thousand years. Commish in the North!
-
OK, so not a lot of strong feelings on the commissioner transition. A couple owners also responded privately to me. In light of indifference and lack of opposition, I self-nominate to be commissioner starting in 2020. Resolving this matter now would also give me some time to learn the ropes from Trey before his departure.
I will wait another 48 hours for other nominations or comments, at which point I will call a league vote on my 2020 appointment.

The Eckfords are still busy trying to find a pitcher who doesn't get injured so Steve as commish is fine with us.

I would prefer not to, and am fine with whomever

Everyone, we should begin a discussion about who will take over as commissioner after this season. I presume Trey would like to hand over the reins before the arbitration season. I checked with Trey and he has not yet talked about it with other owners, so it seems this is wide open. It would probably be best to have a long-time member of the league take over for the sake of stability and Ottoneu experience. That said, I am willing to serve as commish if no one else steps forward. Thoughts?
