Didn't get the chance to know you as I joined recently, congrats on the promotion!
-
Fellas, it’s with great regret that I’m informing the league of my departure. It was a great time in the league but in the last couple weeks I have received a promotion at work and that is requiring more of my attention than I realized. I apologize for the late notice but I wish you all the best!!

I can do all three times, but prefer 1 or 2 since 3 is at 1 am for me.

I should be able to do 1 and 2. Likely a no on 3.

All 3 times work for me on the draft. Although, my preference is 2.

Hi everyone. I am taking on commish duties in two other leagues. Not ideal, but no one wants to be commish, and I can manage.
The big obstacle: scheduling drafts. Toward that end, I would like to begin calendaring after the New Year. Good news is that we should have a normal spring training schedule to work around. If possible, I would like to keep things simple. My first step will be to send out one date with three time slot options. If nothing there works, we can move on to a pol

Hi all. Just wanted to let you know that I will not be back next season. I love the Ottoneu format and enjoyed participating in this league, but I just don't have the time anymore for a daily moves league. Good luck to you all in 2023!
-
Thanks everyone. Have fun this offseason.
-
I’ve been super busy at work since the end of the season. Finally able to get it done, looking forward to 2023.
Also, a big belated Congratulations to ROUS!

One week left in arbitration. If you have not yet completed arb, please do! If you have not yet completed arb because you (1) remain uncertain whether you will return, or (2) have decided not to return, please let me know so that I can find replacement owners before arbitration ends. Thanks!

Do your arb guys, remember to arb up. Please and thanks.

I changed the trade-wait time period and did not notice that the draft date had auto-filled as February 1 at 7pm EST. That is not the draft date and time. We can discuss that and decide much later.

Welcome to arbitration!
So far we have six in favor of changing the wait time for trades from 48 hours to 24. I am indifferent, which means, at most, five might be opposed to the change. Trades are not allowed until after arbitration, so there is no hurry. But I also see no reason to wait, as there appears to be no opposition.
So, for the 2023 season our new trade approval period will be 24 hours, rather than 48.

Congrats ROUS on a well deserved win! I'm OK with the trade waiting period change. Looking forward to some real life playoffs and some off-season trades here as I try to retool and catch up to ROUS.

I also am in favor of changing to a 24-hour waiting period for trades

I am in favor of reducing the wait period to 24 hours.
-
For the proposed rule change, let's take a bit and discuss. I am I different, and we have two in favor with no stated opposition. Between now and the beginning of arb, if you have an opinion, please chime in on the message board. There is no need to hurry, nothing will be decided right away, but if we can get a sense of the league's disposition early in the off-season, before winter sets in and baseball is forgotten, all the better.

I am strongly in favor of 24 hours instead of 48 hours. Increased speed in filling lineup holes is something that should benefit all.
-
One of the options in league settings is to make the wait period to complete a trade either 24 hours or 48 hours (from acceptance). Currently we are set to 48 hours. I propose we change to 24 hours. Other leagues I'm in have 24 hours and I prefer that. Now that the season is over, it is a good time to make that change. Any opinions / objections?

Congratulations again, R.O.U.S.
And welcome to the off-season, everyone! As a reminder: (1) salary caps are not in effect between now and the keeper deadline; (2) players may not be cut or traded before the end of arbitration; and (3) please do participate in arbitration.
Good season, everyone...I hope we all return for 2023!

Looking to trade for points and healthy players for OPL. Trying to move good players who will not be returning quickly enough for my needs including Brantley, Chris Taylor and Enrique Hernandez. I would include $2 Strider if you take the package. Need every day players who score. Points per game not as important to me as points.
-
Looking to Miranda or Muncy for some OF depth. Message me if you have any interest in them.
-
A reminder to the league: please have your rosters valid as quickly as possible after trades/waivers/status updates render them invalid.

Looking to trade Tatis before Opening Day. See my trade block.

I’ve indicated before that I’d most likely not be able to make that time… and I am indeed not able to make it

If anyone here is considering another league, we have an opening in the xProspects league (FGPTS). Basically, it is standard Otto rules EXCEPT no player can be rostered until he has appeared in an MLB game (1 ab or 1 ip). Creates very interesting strategy differences from plain vanilla Otto. Actually, it is my favorite league. Message me if you have any interest. Thanks. (BTW, draft will be April 3 at 7 pm EDT).

We are going to proceed with our current draft date and time. It is possible that one owner will not be able to participate, but there literally are no other weekend days between now and Opening Day. This is our best shot at full participation.

We do not yet have responses from everyone in the league, but we are already down to one day/time that works for the nine who have replied: Saturday, April 2, noon EST. I have changed the auction time to April 2, noon EST. Please let me know if this is an absolute "no" for you. I will also reach out via personal message.
