We have a new owner for Padilla. Welcome. You are welcome to one round of cuts to your team. Once this is accomplished, we will set up our auction dates. It feels like the slow auction through Couch Managers is the popular choice. I don't want to push people into it if they're uncomfortable. Personally, I think it takes care of trying to manage our busy schedules.
-
Yeah. That one is on me. He had contacted me in January to tell me that he couldn't participate in the league anymore-I forgot to abandon his team. I'll wear that one. I eff'd up. I'll abondon the team now-get a new owner and allow the cuts prior to getting the auction going. My apologies. January was a suck shack.
-
What are we doing about Padilla's team?
-
Slow auction vote for me.
-
slow auction sounds great
-
Hey everyone-Please let me know if you want to do a slow draft or use Ottoneu's auction system to perform the 2020 league draft by the end of the week. If we decide to go with a slow auction, I will need a week to import our rosters into Couch Managers. Thanks!
-
Couch Managers, I figured it out.
-
What was the name of the site we did the slow auction in last year? Want to recommend it to my other leagues
-
Ready for the auction, slow is fine.
-
Be sure that you make your cuts by midnight ET. Additionally, check to see you’ve updated your dues and are paid into the new season.
-
I am very interested in doing the slow auction again this year.
-
I'm sending out offers before the deadline. If I send you an offer that is a duplicate from the past, my apologies. I can't remember all that I have offered and not researching to see what I did. A simple reject, with a counter-offer if any interest, or a message stating you plan to keep the player I inquire about would be great. Just trying to see if any of my tradeable pieces have interest before the deadline.
-
I'm cool with slow auction.
-
would love to do the slow auction again.
-
That's definitely an option we can pursue. We can talk about it after January 31...which is coming closer and closer. If we do want to do a slow auction, I'd appreciate making the decision earlier so I have time to import our teams on line. Nonetheless, we can definitely discuss this soon.
-
Any thought yet if we are doing a slow auction again or regular auction?
-
With the cut/trade deadline approaching the one big hole I haven't filled is starting pitching. I know most of you are probably looking for that as well, but if anyone does have some flexibility there I am open to trading - with the biggest desire to move the guys on my trade block but open to other deals for the right return.
-
With cuts due next Friday, trade offers should be increasing. Could all owners please make sure to respond quickly somehow to any offers. Owners trying to make last minute trades and your response helps to determine which direction to move. Thanks.
-
Welcome to the group. Thanks for joining us.
-
Hey all. Hope it's ok that I went ahead and claimed this team. I'm an experienced Ottonue'er that won a championship in one of the most competitive leagues last year (Dozen Eggheads of Fantasy). Look forward to playing with everyone!
-
Hey all-I went ahead and abandoned Hot Mess from our league. I fretted over this decision and heard from everyone that had an opinion on the matter. Right now, the team is currently open to any available person. If you know anyone interested, please let me know ASAP.
-
I think it's time to go ahead and abandon Hot Mess team.
-
Lol, good sleuthing
-
She is active on Twitter. She ghosted the league. No big deal. Let’s find an active fantasy baseball owner, please
-
praying she is ok. i think starting to research a possible replacement is wise and do not commit to one, rather let them know the situation and i think jan 1 is fair time period to make a move. tough call either way!
-
Ditto. Shame to lose her, but she wasn't around for most of last season.
-
I agree with Poof. Definitely seems something could be wrong, and whats Willy worried about... unbridled power.
Seriously though we could even push a decision until closer to draft if we gave the potential replacement the ability to drop people upon takeover.
-
Should read would like to know she is okay.
-
And let her know at this point, it’s not about her playing in the league but wound like to know that she is okay.
-
She hasn’t been on since August. I hope everything is okay with her. It’s very odd that she hasn’t logged in or responded. She’s been a great owner and Commish. Having said that, I would hope a Commish would remain more involved and not disappear for that long. Like I said, I sure hope nothing is wrong or has happened to her. I say give it until first of year and see if she responds. We definitely should continue to reach her.
-
So, I'm looking for league input. I don't want to do anything like this without your input. Do we give it until January? Earlier? Not at all? I'm not going to do this because of the sensitivity of the issue. This is NOT me attempting to arrest power from her for my purposes, but rather a way to handle a tough situation. Again, any input would be helpful. You can place it on the Message board or DM me. Thanks.
-
Hi there-This is a tough one. I still have not heard from HotMess. I contacted her directly via her personal email on Nov 14. She did not reply. I spoke with the commissioner in her other Ottoneau league, and while they haven't "cut" her from the league, they are seriously thinking about doing this. Obviously, this is troublesome because 1. I do not want to do anything rash to a great owner. 2. She's our commish-which would make me the new FT commish. I don't want to see this as a powe
-
It would be great if everyone would update your trade block. Let everyone know who is available for trade. If I make an offer, counter if you don't like it. Most times, I only have small interest, so counter to see if we are even close. I can't read your mind to know your value and we all value players differently.
-
Hey everyone-Has anyone heard from and know anything about Hot Mess? I checked activity this morning and noticed she has not logged into the league since the middle of August. Obviously, this is not good. However, she is my co-comissioner and one of the best owners in the league. I do not want to do anything rash. I'll email her later today to check in--I just didn't know if anyone here had any insight. Thanks. FYI-last day of arbitration is today! Throw that $$$ around!
-
Just a reminder-arbitration ends on Thursday, Nov 14. If you haven’t started or have decided on doing something different, this is the last week to do so. Good luck. Have fun. Stay warm.
-
Hi-I just returned from work and made all the adjustments to Brian’s team and imposed the correct salaries to each player. My apologies, Garrett Cooper was the 2nd cut and not Garrett Richards (although cheryl owned both garretts-which is weird). My apologies. This is what I get for doing roster changes on my phone. I need to take better care next time. Again, my apologies.
-
Hi-Those are probably user error on my part as I worked quickly with Cheryl before she left the league to get her roster legal. I'm going to guess it was P. Baez and not Bieber. The Cueto? It was supposed to be G. Richards instead. So, I'm going to replace those two cuts with Baez and Richards. Does anyone have a problem with this? I made the mistake. It's all on me. I worked too quickly and screwed up.
-
And Ceuto too please
-
Who did my teams last round of cuts. Shane Bieber is definitely a keeper. I'd like him back
-
Welcome to our little band of misfits. I’ve competed with Brian for the past few years. Great competitor. Solid and active owner.
-
Afternoon guys,
Looking forward to playing with you guys. Got a bit of work before competing it seems.
Cheers,
Brian
-
Can we stop? Please? Issue has been resolved. Dexter Fowler is available for everyone to bid on.
-
Asking for rules to be followed is now temper tantrum. Evidently you can't read very well. Just wanted cuts made like everyone else had to do. Hate to see you go Sheryl. Good luck to you and keep on writing.
-
Sorry to see you go, Sheryl. Hopefully that guy's temper tantrum wasn't the deciding factor. Sheryl's willingness to trade anyone on her team made these past couple offseasons quite fun
-
btw...Arbitration has begun. Ends on November 14th. Arbitration is super important to keeping the league equal. Do your best to find 10-15 minutes to the process. Thanks.
-
Good news, bad news. I contacted Sheryl. Cuts were made to the roster. Sheryl is honestly super busy and just had an oversight. We now have a legal roster. Bad news? Sheryl's work schedule means that I will be abandoning the Fighting Chihuanas soon. No worries, we will find a new owner. If you have one in mine, let me know. I'm pestering some baseball nerds to help out as well. If you know someone interested in joining the league, let me know.
-
Once the offseason begins, there is no cap(due to salary increases). But the roster rules should remain in effect for any transactions made while the season still exist. Rules shouldn't be different because it's the last few days of season. It's still in season and rules should be the same as if it were May, June, etc. I actually would prefer no transactions can be made last week of season and all cuts(salary cap and player limit rules) must be made in that final week before season ends.
-
Both. Under the roster limit and under the salary cap(legal roster rules during season). The moves are made during season, therefore season rules should still apply. The cuts should be made during the season too(not after the season). The penalty for picking up a player(or blocking another team from acquiring) should be the decision of who to cut and remain under the cap. Then those cut players should be available for waivers bid(like during the season).
-
Are you suggesting everyone needs to get under the roster limit, the cap limit, or both?
-
There is a salary cap during the season. The moves were made during the season. Therefore the rules in place during the season should be followed. That last week should be treated the same as first or middle of season. The advantages are blocking others from picking up players, able to carry more options into arb, and having more keeper or trade options to use or choose from. I will show you next year how it can be a small advantage. All owners should have to make proper cuts.
