Welcome to the new owner of Cienfuegos Elefantes. We've got a great core group here and are pleased to welcome you as part of it. Best of luck in getting this franchise up to speed. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to the group on this message board or to me directly. We finally have all twelve teams paid up for the current season, and I hope that this is the beginning of a good run together!

Thanks Chicks, hard to believe you even noticed my question in the midst of all that. Also, is anyone else wondering if ABS paid $100 just to defend himself with a few messages? Or is it just me?
-
Hotspurs - I think 100 is average and higher is better, like wRC+. Needless to say, I didn't their help to identify Aaron Sanchez vs the Yankees as a risky matchup haha.

A big welcome to our two new owners! Great to have you on board. The great thing about Ottoneu is that even if you miss a day (like the Opener), you can still get up to speed, thanks to the G/IP limits. We have a great group here, just a couple owners away from having a super solid league. These two franchises have seen constant turnover. Hopefully you are here for the long haul and we can finally complete this league with a dozen owners committed to competing year in, year out. Welcome!
-
Bear with me, this is new to me. I have done fantasy baseball before, but not on this site; however, i like the idea of continuous play. I see i'm already behind the power curve. I have paid the dues to most likely lose this year, but hey at least I have Correa. :)

Apparently, it shows up as "logging in" if you are in Ottoneu in any form, so perhaps he was just looking at his other teams. He never formally told me to abandon his team, so I did not do so. If I am a bad commissioner for not preemptively kicking guys out of the league, then I apologize. We are certainly a better league without him and I look forward to finding two new owners who are interested in making positive contributions as long-term members of the league.
-
Just FYI, the comments by that ABS dude were completely untrue. I don't know why he ever joined this league, since all he did from day one was to try to pick a fight with me for some inexplicable reason. I direct messaged him twice to ask if he was able to rearrange his schedule, and he failed to respond both times. However, he continued to log in every day, so I thought he might be planning to show up for the draft, or to fill out his roster afterward, similar to Harper's Bat Czar.
-
Please remove me from this team as I have no interest in being in the league I just wanted to make sure everyone knew that the commissioner completely dropped the ball and that's the reason why one of the teams did not draft.
-
I did not simply 'not show up for the draft." The commissioner of the league dropped the ball.
-
I let him know that I would need to drop out of the league since I could not make the draft and did not want to be in a $100 league when I couldn't make the draft. Since my renewal was due I could no longer access the league page however I let him know in plenty of time to find a new owner. As the commissioner of another league I also know that he has access to everyone's email address and could have emailed me to follow up when/if he actually sent me a message. He did not do this.
-
I am the previous owner of ABS. I claimed this team to post this message. I messaged the commissioner of this league the week before the draft and let him know that I could no longer make the draft. (I had changed my schedule around to make the original draft date and when we changed the date I could make the new date. Unfortunately a conflict came up and due to rearranging my schedule once I could not do it a second time).
-
Thanks for the response. Ottoneu should really make us all pay between the end of the season and arbitration, since that is really the start of our year.
-
Winnings should not be impacted, regardless of how long it takes to find replacement owners. We have never had a problem in the past finding owners for this league, and I would anticipate these teams will quickly be snapped up, as well. I just wish we could find a way to keep everyone engaged all year round so that we can maintain a full 12-man group who are committed to long-term fantasy fun.
-
Commish-In the worst case scenario that we do not gain 2 owners, do you know what happens? Are we then essentially a 10 team league with payments adjusted accordingly? Thanks.
-
Unfortunately, the two teams who failed to show up for the draft (ABS & Four Horsemen) appear to have quietly disappeared. Both teams were set to expire soon (neither has renewed for this year), and both failed to respond to my most recent attempts to communicate. When they failed to set lineups today, I was left with no choice other than to abandon their teams in hopes we can quickly find two new owners interested in becoming long term members of this league.

Anyone know how to properly read and use the Matchup Rating feature from Rotoballer?

Nice job with the draft tonight, everyone. Under three hours with a 12-minute break and a Fangraphs glitch. Not bad. Everyone did a nice job of having their nominations cued up and keeping things rolling. Don't forget that the season starts this Thursday. You must go to your Lineups page and move any of your new acquisitions into the appropriate positions in your lineup. Good luck to all, and best wishes for a fun, competitive season.

Hey all, I got hung up in a work meeting. I should be about 10 to 15 minutes late, feel free to get started without me.
-
Just a reminder that the draft is only TWO (2) days away. 8 pm Eastern on Monday. We will stand by for anyone hustling home from work. If you are running late, however, please try to update us on your status via the message board. See you in the draft room, boys!
-
Lol. Didn't realize it was in the rules. Never mind.

It was nice to see a post on the board though. It's been very quiet. Draft day in about four days. Season starts in about seven.

If anything, new owner can argue the disadvantage of not being here to make any offseason trades. I don't see any problems with new owners cuts. And it's actually part of the rules.

I have no problem with the cuts. It's actually in Ottoneu rules as well. A new owner is allowed to make cuts. It wasn't well into Spring Training. It was 13 days in. Most relevant players weren't even playing that early in Spring Training and minimal if so. I he can figure out an advantage 13 days into Spring Training, he's a bad man. I'll gladly let anyone build their team based off that timeframe. The old owners cuts have nothing to do with the new owner.

I've been thinking about the new team's cuts. I may be the only one that thinks this and if so that's fine. I thought I would throw it out there. Are we all ok that the new team got to make cuts well after the deadline and well into Spring Training. A couple of advantages here are that he got to survey the whole auction pool, cut injured players, and have a lot more money than anyone else to spend. The old owner was still around at the cut deadline. He made cuts on that day.
