Good suggestion, Blind Squirrels. I agree. I'd also be fine with reversing the two post-draft auctions I started and won (if that is possible) to give the new owners a chance to bid if they want.
-
It shouldnt be a problem to get someone to take DD's team if need be. He is the defending champion and has a nearly complete roster. P-Town is a different story as the line up is very incomplete. Maybe we should halt all of the pending auctions until we know for sure what we are going to do? There are some potentially helpful players under auction that a new owner might want access to.
-
DM'd DD abbot his team but haven't heard back. Lined up a friend interested in taking it.
Will also follow up with P-town.
-
Not sure -- is there a way to let those two teams draft from the remaining pool? Also, any word on whether DD and PTG still want to play? We could likely find new owners with an Ottoneu board posting.
-
What are we doing about the two teams that didnt participate in the auction Friday night? Both have incomplete teams, particularly the P-Town Giants.

DD -- are you joining the draft? Everyone is here and waiting.
-
I thought K/9 was a pitching stat, not a hitting stat...

Looking forward to it. I have dibs on Tim Tebow so hands off!
-
T-minus 3.5 hours. See you guys in the draft room in a bit.
-
I'll see what I can do to make Friday work
-
Thanks for getting the time changed DD. I can't do tomorrow. I work until 10:30p central (11:30p eastern) so by the time I got home I'd be missing almost 3 hours worth of draft.

Which I now see that it did. Thank you!
-
I've got a flight Thursday I'll miss about half the draft. Strongly prefer this gets moved to Friday.
-
I can do either tomorrow or Friday.

I'm good to go tomorrow evening as well.
-
OK. I'll be ready to draft tomorrow night if necessary.
-
So I DM'd DD and he said he raised the issue with support but obviously the banner still says the 9th. Given that we're one to two days away, I think it's best if we can be prepared to draft tomorrow just in case. Obviously, it's not ideal, especially for central and east coast people who have work the next day but don't see our other options.
-
Glad to have a 12th again! What are the chances we could actually do the draft on the 9th? My sons lacrosse game got rescheduled for Friday the 10th and its a fairly long drive home. Doubtful I could be ready before 10:30. I will figure it out if everyone cant do the 9th but the discussion below made me want to ask.
-
Welcome! Glad to have you. Draft is supposed to be on the 10th but currently set for the 9th. I've pinged our commish about it. I guess, if possible be ready to draft on the 9th but I'm guessing it'll get changed to the 10th.
-
Hey all, I just claimed the Louisville Huggers team. Really excited to play this season - is the draft 3/9 or 3/10?
-
Says that for me too. Just DM'd DD.
-
Not sure if this is just me, but the "Draft Date" bar at the top of my screen says March 9th, not March 10th...

Post it on Slack. I reached out to a couple of people who posted on the "Leagues Wanted" section. They can go directly to the claim team section to claim the team.
-
Not being a nuisance at all. I don't have another person I know who's interested. I'd post on the Ottoneu message boards and Slack channel but I don't know that our commish will reach out to them in time. I'm kinda hoping he's going to take care of it.
-
Not to be a nuisance here but we're almost 5 days away from the draft and we have an open team. Does anyone know someone who wants to join and can make our draft day?
-
I know I've pushed this off season because I believe a lot of the issues we're discussing are time sensitive and if we are able to make decisions as a group in a timely manner it can only improve the experience of the league. With that said I'd be willing to take a co-commissioner position in the league with either DD or anyone else who may be interested in sharing the responsibilities. I know I wouldn't be able to handle it on my own.
-
DD -- not sure what provoked that very harsh response. I'm sure a lot of us have very busy jobs; I know I do. No one is forcing you to play fantasy baseball or to be commissioner, if you do not think it is a good use of your time.
Is anyone else interest in taking over the reigns as Commish?
Also -- do we have a replacement for Louisville Huggers? Did anyone have a friend who would be willing to step into the fray?
Looking forward to the draft, fellas.
-
Guys, I get probably 200 emails a day. I don't respond to every single one of them. Louisville's date to renew was 2/24 and he didn't so I marked the team as abandoned. I scheduled the draft. I'm sick of people being so impatient. Some of us have other things going on in our lives. If you want a new commish, someone take it.

I hate to be the controversial new guy, but... we first brought this date up almost 3 weeks ago. Anyone else think maybe it's time to kick Louisville and replace him? Draft is in 10 days (assuming DD sets it) and the longer we wait the harder it'll be to get someone to replace him on increasingly shorter notice.

Less than two weeks away!
-
It may be time to just set the draft and hope he can make it.

Anyone know how to get ahold of Louisville?

Just Louisville and DD left. We may be able to get this thing scheduled soon.
-
So March 10th at 9pm? I think i can do that.
-
Three left to confirm. DD, Louisville and Pine Tar.
-
Works for me, let's get it on!
-
Works for me
-
Thanks for the flexibility, guys. I'll make 9pm EST work. If for whatever reason I'm late I'll try to let you all know as soon as possible but I should be able to take off work a little early.
-
So that's 7. Still waiting on Louisville, Scroated, Pine Tar, P-Town, and DD. We need to set this thing up soon.

The evening of March 10 works for me too. I'm also an East Coaster, but 9 or 9:30 is fine for me, either way.
-
I can make March 10 at 9 pm EST work. I assume we should be able to get it done in around 3 hours given the number of keepers everyone has. Im on the east coast but would also be willing to push back to 9:30 if that helps the guys on the West Coast out.
