Are we allowed to start suctioning players? Or should we sit tight?

OK, I think I closed the draft and flipped all the major keys. Don't yet know how to restrict play until May 31. Stay tuned, but please don't put anyone in your lineup until then. thanks and hope you enjoyed the draft. May 31 kicks off the summer and our league.

No response yet from an Ottoneu proxy...
-
Just posted in slack and community for a proxy crazy enough to join us tomorrow AM if Sano doesn't come. But I hope he does...
-
Have not heard back from Sano. It seems awfully late to get a proxy. (I was out all evening.) But do any of you know an Ottoneu vet who would like to jump in tomorrow if Sano doesn't come? I may post on Slack and the community boards...
-
He had posted Friday that he was in, maybe he didn't realize we were drafting Sat morn. Any communication from him at all since?
-
I would think we'd be able to find a proxy drafter in #prospects or #ottoneu slack channels if Sano is out for sure. Being able to draft a rebuilder without having to suffer through the season would be enjoyable to many (I'd strongly consider volunteering if roles were reversed, for example).
-
I hope we can find a way to keep the league at 12 owners, though I see some wisdom to considering contraction... but won't that just delay the "2 teams at a big disadvantage" problem for a few months? Having zero keepers can't be a fun starting position.
-
If it means anything, "Formerly", we were all trying to figure out how to help you get in this morning, but didn't really understand what the issue was. And it does seem like a fun league based on draft chatter. Well, at least the other 9 owners besides me. :->
-
That's the underdog spirit this league loves!! We realized there were 3 Cubs/Mariners dual league fans in here. That's some lifelong underdog love if I've ever seen it (myself included, HA!).
-
On second thought I will stay in the league. Even though there aren't any good players left I will stick with it and draft as best I can. I paid so I might as well play.
-
I’d vote for a 10 team league at this point too.
-
If Sano is out as well, we could go with ten teams then, and add 2 teams next year with a structure to give the new teams some equity.
-
I need to be replaced. I'm at a massive and insurmountable disadvantage due to not being able to locate the draft room. Drafting the leftover scraps tomorrow isn't going to be fruitful. Maybe someone else will be okay taking over a team that has no chance.
-
Great. I agree. Thanks for the legwork.
-
Hey y'all, I had a thought today. With a shortened season, we should cut the Innings pitched and Games Played limits. I looked at my other leagues and by the 31st. I think we will be at avg. 50 GP/pos and 420 IP , that would put us at 112 GP/pos and 1080 IP limits. We would have to self monitor this, but I think it would improve our gameplay this season.

https://ottoneu.fangraphs.com/591/draft# still waiting on a couple owners
-
nvm, found an old link and changed the team URL, i'm in
-
not seeing a link anywhere...can you post one here?
-
yes.
-
having trouble joining the auction, is it open yet?
-
Sounds good to me.
-
Yeah, it really doesn't mean much, but it's to be orderly, keep things moving, and force owners to fill out their roster. Each owner has about 30 seconds to nominate a player, and if they miss that window, they miss their turn. In some Ottoneu leagues, when an owner passes once or twice, that's a sign they're done. We'll communicate via the chat so we'll know when someone is done and no one is surprised, but it is my expectation that each team will nominate in turn.
-
Okay thanks. Posting a draft order had me confused.
-
Yes, a full (redraft) auction draft.
-
So is this going to be an auction?
-
I agree. Seems very reasonable.

I think that's reasonable...
-
Draft Order, based on entry to the league: 1-The 1st*; 2-Hello*; 3-Steak*; 4-Launch*; 5-Healthy*; 6-Synder*; 7-Wraith*; 8-Hunter*; 9-Sano*; 10-The Cut-Off*; 11-Eggs*; 12-Formerly*. "The First Fantasy Analyst/Therapist" will get $5 off of one player drafted from his 2018 team, as a reward for being willing to redraft. If you don't mind, I'll take the same $5 rebate, since I was also playing in 2018.
-
I have a hard stop at 12:30 tomorrow. But 9-12 both days is fine.
-
On the bright side, you'll be done in time for breakfast...
-
Back to back 6 am starts, at least I have a built in excuse if I draft poorly.

I just made sure all teams have 0 players. Didn't take that long. Thanks for your help.
-
Please block out Sun 5/19 9-12 for the second part of our draft. I think we can all do that time frame, but if something came up, let me know.
-
I am good for the time period as well. Good luck everyone!

I was able to cut everyone except Mookie, probably because he was a restricted free agent.

Success! Thanks and see you Saturday morning.
-
I just gave everyone a round of penalty-free cuts, so hopefully you will be able to cut the remaining players on your team. Worked for me.
-
We're on for Sat if it's okay with Ryan (need a confirmation). I set the draft date/time, so you now should see an auction draft menu item on the league page.
