No draft date yet. I wanted to wait to make sure Spring Training started with no delays but really it looks like everything is going to plan for a normal season start time so I'll create the poll later today & we can get started on picking a date.

Have we decided on a draft date?

Gotcha. I figured it was a placeholder. I'll keep an eye out for the poll.

Can we use that March 20th date? I have it in my calendar, and have also been using it when planning other draft dates. If there is a poll, I vote March 20.
-
Hi Kratz, the draft day given doesn't mean anything at this point. I usually send out a poll around the start of spring training to gauge when people will be free close to opening day. It's always the case that people want to wait as long as possible so I'll wait until ST actually starts successfully then send out a poll.

Hey, is the published draft day (Saturday, March 20, 2021 7:00 PM EDT) what we're going with? Just want to make sure I've got time carved out for this.

Welcome aboard! Now that's what I call clearing house, a new GM with a new vision. Seeing the email that the team was claimed has made my day, I was worried it'd go unclaimed all spring :)

Hi all, claimed Team Leuco this morning. Cuts are done...looking forward to the season.
-
Looking to do a cut day deal for Lindor if anyone is interested.
-
lol i was finally able to get myself to move on from some players i've been holding onto from some questionable trades... and welcome new owners!

TIL Millville Meteor doesn't mess around when making cuts.

Hello, I grabbed The Devils of Snells Kitchen and I’m from Eggs league as well. Active owner looking forward to hopefully a somewhat normal season.

Hey all, I'm from league 772. Just grabbed Gouda after Eggs and wOBAcon advertised it in our league. I might want to co-own this team with a friend if he's amenable and that's an option? If not, no big deal -- I should be fairly active either way.

Hi folks, not good news with founder members Snell's Kitchen and Smoak'd Gouda leaving us with no notice :(
Team Leuco has been abandoned for a while too. Do any of you have friends who would be interested in taking over those teams? I've tweeted links a couple of times and I'll post in the Otto community this evening about the openings.

Hey all, I think I'm bowing out as well. Harder to find time to give my team the love and attention it needs, and last season really sapped my interest. It's been a pleasure playing with all of you, thanks for the great years!

Welcome to the league Mr Eggs! Good to see one of the open teams taken so quickly, not surprised it was the one with that core of hitters. Hopefully Team Leuco will get picked up soon too.

I also think I am going to be out next year. It's been a lot of fun, and I hate to go with all this great, young talent I've built up! But, I paid zero attention this year, and I don't think it's fair to the others if everyone isn't really invested and doing their best.
Best of luck to you guys moving forward, and thanks for the memories!

Hey all! I'm really sorry to do this, but I think I'll have to bow out for next season. I really don't have the time I once did to put into this and I feel that I'm really not holding up my end. It's been a fun few seasons though, so thank you all very much
-
Sorry all, I stopped receiving email notifications across my Ottoneu leagues so apologies for not weighing in earlier. I’ll be back for 2021 and I’m good either way on arb

One other thing I've been meaning to do is change the name of the league. Just adding 1 each year is a bit unimaginitive. Feel free to give any suggestions as I don't really have anything in mind yet.

I think, given we only have a few days left only Somos has completed any arbitration and nobody has been strongly in favour, I'll take the decision to say we're not going to participate this year. Somos, if you could delete yours please we'll move into trade / cut season next week!

I'm back in for next year. I'm indifferent toward arbitration, either way works.
-
I am happy to delete my arbitration. Just let me know what everyone wants to do.
-
Hi, plan to continue next year and I actually would prefer arbitration, but if the majority is against it I am also fine with the decision.

I'm still here too, was just waiting for the World Series to be over until I start looking at my various teams again. I'm happy to do arb however the majority want to.
-
I plan on continuing as well. As far as arbitration is concerned, I don't have strong feelings one way or the other so I am definitely open to discussion.
-
I definitely plan to keep the league going into 2021 and hope for a return to a 162-game regular season.
We do have the option of not doing any arbitration at all - if that's something we all agree on. Given the uncertainty, I would be in favour of not participating but am happy to have a discussion.

Hey Everyone - Hasn't been much chatter since late July and it doesn't look like anyone has done any arbitration. I know this year has been crazy so it's all perfectly understandable. I am just trying to get a gauge on if the plan is to continue the league going forward. Thanks!

Marlins game cancelled. 12 players and 2 coaches, already positive. This season isn't going to last very long.

Thanks for doing this kidrobot, the fact that you care enough to agonize about a decision is proof you're doing your best

Hear, hear. Thanks for making the call and for your work as commissioner! Looking forward to being in a draft room with you fine folks once again.

I appreciate how hard it was to make the decision. Given so much uncertainty, I think it was the right decision to make.
-
...I've even tried in vain to pass commissioner duties to Snell's Kitchen because I'm sure going against the poll will annoy some of you. I don't feel good about it but I think it's best for the future of the league to wait as long as we can. This means we'll draft on Wed 22. I'm sorry if this means you are unable to draft, but please let me know if you want me to find a proxy to draft for you, the community usually has folks willing to help out.
-
...since owners have been carefully building and re-building for 3 seasons. I hope you all understand there is no easy decision for me to make. If I force the draft into this Friday just because it was the most-voted option in the poll, the whole league loses as we're all susceptible to ending up with guys sitting out. If we wait until a day or 2 before opening day, we give ourselves the best chance to win on merit rather than the bad fortune of other owners...

Okay, allow me to share my thoughts on our draft based on feedback last night. I completely agree on needing to draft as close to the season as possible given the sporadic announcements of Covid opt-outs. I've been conflicted in my duty as a commissioner as to the interests of you guys versus the integrity of the league itself. I really do want the most owners available to draft at one time but not at the expense of drafting blind and compromising rosters for next year and beyond...
-
I hadn't heard anything so now have plans for Friday that I cannot alter. This is quite early in what is looking to be a very volatile season, so I didn't think this Friday would even be an option. I also think this years draft should be much closer to the actual start date - there is way too much changing day to day right now to be able to make an even semi-informed decision on players/rosters.

What about drafting the day before or the day of (or even the day after) "opening day"? My biggest concern is players are still choosing to opt out of the season, COVID tests are still being revealed, etc. Over the course of last two days alone, opt-outs and COVID tests have blown holes in my roster I wouldn't even know I had if we'd drafted just a few days ago. Not ideal but I think waiting to the last possible day (or beyond) might be more appropriate for this year?

None of this situation is ideal and I apologise if you feel this is rushed. Let's try and make the best of a bad situation and plan as well as we can for the season that we get!
