I have filled in as a proxy. If you announce it in advance on the forum/slack, someone can likely be found.

March 2nd I should be able to make that. Excited.
-
OK, March 2 @ 6 PM EST is the draft date. 10 can make it. Chris/Bat Flip will try to make what he can and/or get a proxy. Brendon/My Analytics, can you arrange things to make the draft or get a proxy? While I have not personally used a proxy, I understand that there is a way to ask within the community. Perhaps some of you know others who would be able and willing to be a proxy... Comments welcome. Brendon, hope you can work something out. Thanks.

Sorry. Just did the doodle. Looking forward to drafting with you all yet again!

We don't have a unanimously available draft date. 10 of us have completed the doodle calendar; looking for the remaining 2. Dates with highest approvals are: 2/25 (8 can join), 3/2 (8), 2/18 (7 - and its today). I know one of us is on travel on 2/25 and physically unable to join. Would you check the 3/2 date and reconsider if you can make it? Or edit your doodle dates to include more availability later in March? Thanks. Would love to get this date set.
-
Thanks to the 7 of the 12 of us who have finished the doodle calendar. So far, the first date with unanimous agreement is this coming Tuesday, Feb 16. If the rest give their preferences for a draft date in the doodle calendar we could be drafting pretty soon!
-
I just sent a doodle calendar to you so we can select a date for our annual auction draft. Same app as last year. All times are EST, so let me know if those time frames don't work for you (e.g., west coast, international). I used 5-hour scheduling blocks. Hopefully we won't need all that time this year but who knows? Let me know if you have any problems. The sooner everyone completes it, the sooner we know and can get the draft going. Thanks.
-
When should the draft happen? - as soon as possible. No trade periods are the worst.
-
When Tim missed the deadline, the Ottoneu system declared Tim's team abandoned, removed Tim as owner, and placed it on the list of teams to be claimed. By claiming his old team and becoming its new owner, the system posts a message to him, telling him he can make one set of additional roster cuts, which he used to cut Whitley and Bart.
-
Why were two penalty free cuts just made?
-
I'm back. Didn't realize the deadline had passed.
-
FYI: I wrote to Tim, the owner of Trash Can Bangin, to see if he just missed the deadline. I'm going to hold it open and give him a day or so before I advertise. If any of you know TIm and have some intel, let me know. thanks.
-
Agreed on the 24 hours, that's a good idea

Same. 24 hours is long enough. If anyone sees a trade that looks particularly terrible, please call it to the attention of the league quickly enough to stop it. But I don't recall seeing that happen in this league.
-
Yes. Really like the 24 hour wait period
-
My first draft begins today, and I have a smattering of others getting scheduled. That said, I'm pretty well open since some of them are happening so early. I'd prefer a weekday evening personally. As you already know I'm ALLLL ABOUT reducing that trading waiting period.
-
Also, I’d like to reduce the trade waiting period from 48 to 24 hours. Let me know how you feel about that. Thanks.
-
Gosh. What English. When the draft should happen.
-
Regarding our draft, I’ll set up a calendar. Let me know if you have strong feelings about when to have the draft should happen.
-
Looks like we lost Trash Can Bangin’. Darn. If you know someone who would like to join our league, let me know. I’ll start posting later today...
-
When's the draft??!
-
No big deal. Thanks for the explanation.
-
As Craig said, we had a bit of a winter storm here on Sunday and when I tried to get in to finish up my final cuts on Sunday I had no internet from mid-afternoon onward. I messaged him first thing Monday morning to explain the situation and ask if there was anything that could be done, and he was kind enough to check into that for me.
-
Thanks for the info...appreciate it.
-
Bat Flip Mafia could not make his final cuts because his internet went down Sunday evening. I made them for him the next day after consulting with Niv Shah. Let me know if you have any other questions. Thanks.
-
I hadn’t seen post 31st cuts either?
-
Just curious.. what is going on with those commissioner cuts post-deadline?
-
If there's any interest, I might move a couple of backend SP (Antone/McCullers/Kim types) for RP (and/or Catcher). Not quite sure yet...but if anyone sees anything they like hit me up. I'm tight on cap, so can't take elite guys that carry a high number on.
-
My apologies to all for my lack of responsiveness lately, my non-Ottoneu life has been kind of hectic. I'm going to carve out some time tomorrow to respond to messages and trade thoughts so for anyone that has any interest, we can hopefully still get something done before the cut deadline.

Making major cuts tomorrow, this is your last chance to get any of my players without having to bid on them in the draft. Send your offers. Need lower salaries in return.

Greg Holland will be the first player to pitch with a bionic arm in the majors. Will be forever known as "Is Greg Holland Back Perpetual Arm Procedure."

ha! missed that note. I haven't been keeping up with my badge collecting. A good new years task I suppose. Just posted a benchload of players to my trade block. Looking to shake down my roster a bit.

FYI: There is an Ottoneu badge for making a trade on Christmas day. Wonderboy and I may make a trade of two low $ players we would have cut before the keeper deadline. If you too want the badge, express interest and we can pair up. (https://community.ottoneu.com/badges/118/christmas-trade)

Uh-oh, he's back - again. (https://www.mlb.com/news/greg-holland-re-signs-with-royals)

Ha! A rookie in the league. . .you'll love Ottoneu, welcome.

League - thanks to those that welcomed me to the league - especially Bat Flip Mafia and his promise to haze. By now you all see that I changed my name to "Wonderboy". Watched the Natural every pre-season with my three sons. However being new to Ottoneu, the name might become appropriate when you ask yourself "Boy I wonder why he did that" By the way don't worry about any conflict of interest with my brother - he is too competitive to give me any advantage. - John "

We can cut players now without penalty to get under $400 right?
-
Bat Flip, sure. he’ll at least need to deal with the haze of learning Ottoneu. that should count some but he’s a tough egg; he’s had to deal with me all his life...

Welcome! Best of Luck!

Welcome to the league! On that note, I will also plug that my other league has three openings if anyone is interested [ https://community.ottoneu.com/t/three-teams-available-heading-into-4th-year-of-50-fgpts-league/8140 ]

Welcome, holl6! (He’s taking over the buzz bangers.). Let us know how we can help.

Sounds good to me, Craig.

It’s always great getting new guys in...please do! I’ve got a couple of openings in my other league if anyone wants to add a team as well. $20 FGP with offline 5 MiLB.
-
I've found a new owner for The Buzz Bangers. It's my brother. (He's played in ESPN leagues, but he's new to Ottoneu.)
Let me know if that's a problem, else I'll get him going tomorrow (Tues, Nov 10) so he can arbitrate by Saturday.
-
Matt, sorry to see you go. Best wishes to you. If you ever want to come back, we’d be happy to have you.
