It seems as though people don't want a team by the name of --give me prospects or give me death. Not sure if it's the death-or prospects that scares people away. However I am going to give away Country Fastball and take that team--to see if it matters!
-
New drafts take between 4 to 6 hours, normally done in two days! Lots of fun but time to complete drafts is long!
-
I don't have experience in a complete draft for Ottoneu. How long do they take and are they broken down in to 2 days or more? Anybody have experience

Welcome, all new owners. There is now only one team that needs to be claimed. As soon as that team gets claimed we talk about the settings and vote for them. Then it will be on to the draft date. - Aces

Glad to have you new owners. I'm new this year as well and appears to be a good choice. Seems like it will be a good league.

Looks like we're down to two open teams. Sooner we can vacate the accidental owner of give me prospects the better. Welcome to the league Country and People!

New owner can abandon his own team, but he might not. Commish should be able to do it as well

OK, we will redraft the entire league. We will see if we can pick up 4 more owners. Also, once the league is filled we will take a vote on doing the vote off or arbitration. And then we can start thinking about when to hold a draft.
-
I'm good for a redraft
-
Aces, it looks like we are getting some interest in the open teams on Slack. Would recommend you posting the plan to clarify for any prospective orders(ie we plan to redraft and vote on changing from vote-off to allocation)
-
Honestly, I think your probably gonna have to redraft the league to fill it. I preferred to just keep the team I had originally, but I see the problem. I will stay and play if you redraft. I will play and am good with either option. Let's just redraft it. Makes more sense and less headache for Commish.

We seem to have lost another team and now have 4 abandoned teams. Does anybody object to doing a redraft of the complete league? Please let me know by Monday, Feb 8 at 12:00 noon, eastern time. If not enough people object, I will advertise the league as a complete redraft on Monday.
-
Looks like another team was claimed. only 3 abondoned teams left.
-
Yes that is correct. The last 2 expire Mar 29

Sounds good to me, as long as everyone is aware of the plan before the renewal fee is due. Looks like the 4 remaining teams expire either end of feb or end of march

We only have 4 abandoned teams. I'd like to wait until all teams are claimed and then do an official vote on 1) re-draft or not 2) Arbitration process or vote off. We have plenty of time before the season starts. Let me know if you think differently.

I believe you would be the only owner against a redraft, out of the 8(?) currently here

Just claimed Middle of the Pack. I don't want redraft. Let me know which route your going. It will determine if I choose to stay.

OK. So it looks like most owners favor a re-draft. I will advertise it as such.

You may also want to check the list of available owners if you haven't already. http://ottoneu.fangraphs.com/available
-
e.g. instead of People Will Come, it would read something like "Redraft for 2016" just to make it obvious to anyone looking at the claims page that they will get to redraft.
-
Seems like everyone wants to redraft, yes? I'm cool with it. Maybe the commish can put a note in the team names that lets potential claimers know that there's a redraft.
-
redrafting will allow all new owners to create their teams from scratch with players they want. I'm in favor of redraft.

Like I said, I'll go with the flow. You may also want to consider trying what the commish does in my other league, which is to transfer one or two of the best contracts from each of the top 3 teams and give them to the bottom 3 teams in order to shake things up.
-
In the meantime, we should respect tomorrow's draft deadline in case it is decided not to redraft.
-
I am also new to this league. I claimed the team that won the league last year. I only suggested redrafting the league because so many owners had seemed disgruntled and abandoned their teams. I noticed that their was a big point discrepancy between the top and bottom teams. So I thought if we did a redraft and brought in new owners, we could make a go of it. I would like to take a vote and see how all owners feel about it. When should we have a vote?
-
I mean I just took over the second to last team, and I'm not worried about not being to compete without a redraft.
-
I don't really understand the need to redraft. When you consider the vote-off, the teams that have to cut to get under cap, and the usual cuts of overpriced players, there will be a good chunk of free agents to go around to ensure competitive balance.
-
I'm new to this league, but not to Ottoneu; No CI is the norm in Ottoneu. I just got here, so I'll defer to all of you as to redrafting. That said, it may affect my decision to renew or not.
-
Sorry to all who are still around about my absence from these discussions, very busy work period. I guess I am okay with the redraft idea, but I have a couple of questions--is "Aces" the same person who was commish last year, set up the unusual roster comp, and won the league? And now wants to redraft? Or am I confused because I haven't paid close enough attention? Also, if we redraft, can we add the traditional CI position, or do people like the exploitable strategic imbalance that cr

My vote would be to redraft

Sooner we decide the better, wouldn't want owners joining and renewing without clarity
-
Anyone that claims a team after the deadline will automatically get a free round of cuts.
-
Well, at the very least we should extend the cut deadline, at least for the new teams
