• However, if it comes down to it and Fangraphs simply refuses to refund, I can try to refund you personally and we can remove your team from the league, and we'll have to find someone willing to take the spot.

  Schwar 💣 on March 28, 2017 3:49 PM

• Personally, I agree with even year giants, I have several quality players that I am going to want to "trade" you for salary cap space, and I know other teams do as well. I would say you would be able to get great value in the remaining auction and trade for other quality players - we just bought too many of them in the first auction. However, I get that's just an opinion and certainly not something we'd force you to agree with.

  Schwar 💣 on March 28, 2017 3:48 PM

• Manrui I don't disagree with you - I wish we hadn't pushed it back to the 1st at all. Ultimately on Sunday enough people said they wouldn't be able to do it if we pushed it back that it became a choice between two evils. If Fangraphs will not give you a refund and you don't want to continue with the roster, I can discuss privately with you trying to rectify it and we'll look for other managers willing to inherit your spot.

• As Money Ballerz just said, you are going to find it difficult to find someone to take over such a terrible team. Well, how do you think I feel right now? I am supposed to field this team. There is no fun for me and it is costing me $50. If I had missed the draft because of ANY reason other than what happened I wouldn't be on here crying. But if you go back through the messages and look at what was said on Saturday, it was clearly established that the draft would be next week.

• you kind of have an advantage in a way because you didn't overpay like everyone else, i know i am going to want to trade some of my good players to open up salary room and I'm sure others will too..

• The only reason I joined Ottoneu was for the in-depth GM like control of a team. Obviously the most important part of this is the first steps, the draft. And I have been totally shafted on that opportunity now. It is disingenuous to imply that I can still remain competitive in the league when everyone else has half a roster. We all know that the dregs that are left are not enough o field a winning team, and I didn't get to truly select it anyways. Cont..

• We're gonna be screwed next year trying to find a team to take him over tho.

  Hammers & Homers on March 28, 2017 3:37 PM

• I have spoken with the site managers. This is all very disappointing. I don't understand how you could suddenly change the draft date like that. I did no respond because I was a 2 hours away from my home in the woods attending a wedding. Things were established that it would be on April 1 - the date that was displayed when I signed up for the league. If I wasn't around for the draft you could have just kicked me out of the league. Cont..

  Run! Ichiro on March 28, 2017 3:36 PM

• Manrui is still listed I doubt they refund him.

  Hammers & Homers on March 28, 2017 3:34 PM

• so are we just gunna do the league with 11 now?

  NoMasTido on March 28, 2017 1:37 PM

• thanks, I tried that, but I can't make a post. As long as they have the regular season points, I don't really care.

  24 Hour Todd!! on March 28, 2017 1:22 PM

• I've not tried to export with last year's points, it just gives the same things you stated. You could poke around the boards and maybe make a post inquiring - http://community.ottoneu.com/

  Schwar 💣 on March 28, 2017 1:18 PM

• has anyone been able to get a successful data export to something like Excel or R? I tried to export my data to R, but it did not contain last year's points, only these categories: "Team" "ottoneu.ID" "FG.MajorLeagueID" "FG.MinorLeagueID" [5] "Name" "MLB.Team" "Position.s." "Salary" Basically, does anyone know how to export it with last year's points?

  24 Hour Todd!! on March 28, 2017 1:15 PM

• Understood, manrui. Let us know if Fangraphs gives you any issues about a refund and I will try to do what I can to help.

  Schwar 💣 on March 28, 2017 7:21 AM

• I cannot believe you started this draft after establishing you would do it next week. If it were a free league I wouldn't mind but this cost $50. I am out, I will be writing to Fangraphs right now and demanding they remove me from the league.

  Run! Ichiro on March 28, 2017 6:43 AM

• manrui if you get on - don't get too upset. there are lots of good value out there and honestly a lot of us overpaid for players. you'll have plenty of trade proposals and the ability to get great value late in auction or on pickups after the draft.

  Schwar 💣 on March 27, 2017 10:01 PM

• good progress tonight everyone. plan to do it again tuesday night 8 pm est.

  Schwar 💣 on March 27, 2017 10:00 PM

• that's the plan for now CC

  Schwar 💣 on March 27, 2017 3:34 PM

• so 8 EST Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday ??

  Bombs Away on March 27, 2017 3:15 PM

• we can try to push it later tomorrow night but will depend on what the other folks in the league can do - we're not going to be able to get a perfect time

  Schwar 💣 on March 27, 2017 2:17 PM

• any chance we can not due tomorrow unless its like after 10 pm?

  NoMasTido on March 27, 2017 2:14 PM

• thats fine

  NoMasTido on March 27, 2017 2:14 PM

• Works for me

  Pedroiafile on March 27, 2017 2:12 PM

• Sounds good

  Dirtbags on March 27, 2017 12:06 PM

• Good for me

  Big Papi memories on March 27, 2017 11:42 AM

• 8 est?

  Hammers & Homers on March 27, 2017 11:21 AM

• word up

  24 Hour Todd!! on March 27, 2017 11:19 AM

• Here's the plan based on doodle responses: everybody that can, get on at 8pm and we'll draft for a while (at least an hour, probably more). We'll do that monday, tues, and weds, and if needed continue on later days, skipping friday as very few were available friday.

  Schwar 💣 on March 27, 2017 11:16 AM

• sounds good to me

  24 Hour Todd!! on March 27, 2017 11:00 AM

• we doing tonight ???

  Bombs Away on March 27, 2017 10:57 AM

• Looks like we should get on at 730 or 8 pm every night this week and do an hour or two. 8 pm is the slot that works for the most people

  Schwar 💣 on March 27, 2017 8:30 AM

• Let us know what time we are resuming so I know ahead of time.

  Hammers & Homers on March 27, 2017 8:23 AM

• Ok everyone go to the doodle poll and vote for when youre available this week - we will draft at multiple times/days if needed, we may draft with not everyone available just to make progress. lots of slots left to fill. also Pedroiafile says you can draft on mobile if that makes a difference to people's availability. thanks all.

  Schwar 💣 on March 26, 2017 4:57 PM

• All times in doodle poll EST

  Schwar 💣 on March 26, 2017 4:41 PM

• Hey everyone here's a doodle poll fill out when youre available this week to continue the draft http://doodle.com/poll/rxsn7eamn8fs27xz

  Schwar 💣 on March 26, 2017 4:34 PM

• Hey Manrui, any chance you can have someone sub in for your draft spot. It looks like ottoneu doesnt support autodraft

  Formerly.... on March 26, 2017 2:09 PM

• never mind, I'm in. Just go to "Flags Fly Forever" and click "Auction Draft"

  24 Hour Todd!! on March 26, 2017 1:30 PM

• where do we go to join the draft?

  24 Hour Todd!! on March 26, 2017 1:26 PM

• Thanks for setting it back, i got a little cranky haha

  Bombs Away on March 26, 2017 1:24 PM

• ok, I can do today at 2

  24 Hour Todd!! on March 26, 2017 1:24 PM

• Someone needs to get ahold of manrui.

  Hammers & Homers on March 26, 2017 12:24 PM

• Alright I set it today at 2. That seems to be the slot that works best for the majority of the league. Very sorry to anyone inconvenienced.

  Schwar 💣 on March 26, 2017 12:21 PM

• I'm good with today at 2:00

  Big Papi memories on March 26, 2017 12:10 PM

• I can do today at 2

  Formerly.... on March 26, 2017 11:43 AM

• Awesome thanks. I'll give everyone else another half hour or so to chime but sounds like today at 2 will be best

  Schwar 💣 on March 26, 2017 11:43 AM

• Yeah that was me and Pedroiafile but we can do 2pm since that works best for everyone.

  Dirtbags on March 26, 2017 11:38 AM

• I know there were 2 guys who wanted it to be at 3 today instead of 2 - would putting it at 3 conflict with anyone else? it seems like doing it today is the best day

  Schwar 💣 on March 26, 2017 11:37 AM

• I'm good for today too

  Hammers & Homers on March 26, 2017 11:18 AM

• I can't do next week. I am out if that's when the draft is. Let's do today!

  Prestige Worldwide on March 26, 2017 11:01 AM

• Yeah I'd prefer today at 2 as well. I'll wait a little bit to let others respond
