I am still looking to make more deals before the deadline. Anyone on my block is available. Primarily looking for OF and premium C.
-
Looking to shed some roster slots and salary. Keeper-worthy guys that are available before the deadline: Strasburg ($10), Cron ($8), Jose Abreu ($28), Biggio ($11), Henry Davis ($2), Austin Martin ($5), Jack Flaherty ($16), Devin Williams ($8), Aroldis Chapman ($14), Aaron Nola ($24). Prioritizing MLB guys in return.

That’s all I needed to know, wasn’t sure if I needed to designate players as such or not. Usually we do in other formats and I’m still learning the ins/outs of this format.

They are automatically keepers, dog. Whoever you don’t cut is a keeper. You won’t get a chance to cut anyone you traded for before the deadline. Doesn’t mean you can’t cut em. Just means there’s a cap penalty if you do.
-
That makes little to no sense, but okay. How can I (we) make sure that those players are selected as keepers once it’s processed?

No. They have to go through the 48 hour approval.

Is there a way to push trades so they can all be processed by the keeper deadline?

Hi! I just added this team. Looking to make some trades before the roster freeze. I'll be posting available players soon. Hit me up if you see anything you like. I'll be sending offer as well.
-
I posted on the "Managers Wanted" page. Not much of a salesman, the copy probably could be better, but both teams have solid talent...hopefully we fill quickly.

Tripping Daisies and Ghastly Monsters have both expired. If you know someone looking for a team, please try and recruit them.

The keeper deadline was extended for keeping the players you want for your team, until Feb. 15th. The deadline to keep your team as an owner was not extended, expired on January 31st with a ten day grace period. If you want to play, PAY!
-
That makes sense, Arkstorm.

Unpaid teams will expire on the 10th or so, not the 25th.
-
Looks like, even though the deadline to renew was not explicitly extended, there is still a built-in grace period of 10 days before teams are made available for claim, and that grave period is 10 days after the keeper deadline. Which, since the keeper deadline was extended to Feb 15, must have created a de facto extension for the renewal deadline until Feb 25. So, still time to renew!

"There is a grace period for 10 days after the keeper deadline, where only the original owner of the team can renew it for the season. After this grace period expires, those teams will be marked as fully expired and be made available on the Claim Teams page. Once that happens, I’ll go in and manually remove any whole leagues that have disbanded, leaving just the teams in active leagues."

Hi all. I switched the auction to Saturday night. There was a conflict for Sunday, and this was the next best based on responses.

Based on responses so far, Sunday, March 20, 7pm EST or later is the best fit. So we are scheduled for that Sunday at 9pm EST. Please let me know if you have a significant obstacle in your calendar that night.

Thanks for the update, Arkstorm. Season opener is March 31, might not happen. How about if we schedule the auction for sometime between March 18-22? Will everyone please send me a chat with your ranking for those five days? If the lockout last long enough to affect Opening Day, we will revisit the auction date.

Side note: keeper deadline got moved to Feb 15 due to the lockout

I generally feel the later the better but obviously middle of March would be fine given your vacation plans.

Hi all. I know the lockout is still in effect, and that this has thrown a bit of uncertainty into the fantasy baseball schedule. But, I still want to begin talking about our auction; mostly because I will be on vacation between March 24 and April 3. That is Spring Break for the kids, and we actually plan on having a holiday this year. Anyone else have calendar limitations they want to get on the books?

That Rickey quote is not in reference to Mssr. Trout, is it? Sorry to see you leaving, Daisies. I have not been in the league long but I have enjoyed the few interactions between us. Best of luck in future endeavors, and kind regards.

After enough attempts swinging for the fences without finishing on top, it's probably for the betterment of this franchise that I step down and allow for some fresh thinking (and hopefully better trade negotiating ;) ) in Daisy Land. Thanks all for the fun past 5 seasons, and always remember: ""it's better to make a trade a year too early than a year too late." - Branch Rickey" - Tripping Daisies :D

Hello and Happy New Years to all (I know, my timing is impeccable). After some reflection and observing the impressive volume of trades going on in the league, I've come to the decision to walk away from the league. I'm never one to walk away from a challenge, but I have a lot of life changes coming in the next year and it's clear that this league is about to be poppin 24/7 -- which is awesome!
-
Thanks, R.O.U.S.! Also, Happy New Year to everyone. I see that most, including myself, have not yet renewed. R.O.U.S. offered a solid reminder that the deadline to extend your franchise is Jan 31.

Ok. I suppose it makes sense to hope for some resolution of the lockout before scheduling. But also: getting four hours on the calendar in March is not always easy because two of those weekends are Spring Break for our kids. I will reach out to the league again in mid-to-late-January, see how the lockout is developing, see how schedules look.

I would think sometime in February or March would be optimal. Hopefully by then we have some clarity on the lockout.

My intention is to begin discussion of when to schedule our auction after the New Year. But one of my leagues has already scheduled, and even though the commish did not poll the league, which leads me to believe it is a placeholder, it has left me to wonder: how early is too early to schedule our auction?

Hey everyone, I have a new guy question 😂
For the lineup section of the website, when does that get pushed into the new year and the roster updated? From what I’m seeing it’s still set on the last day of 2021. It’s not a huge issue of course, but I didn’t know how this website went about that. Does anyone know?

Arbitration ends Sunday. Almost everyone has completed, and I know that some like to wait until the last day to complete their arbitration...it looks like we are on target to have a full round of arbitration. Thanks, everyone!

Hello everyone! Thanks for having me join you in this league. Really excited to get started. I see that the previous owner completed Arbitration. I’m pretty new to the Ottoneu site and format. Is there anything pertinent that needs done with my arbitration complete?

Not sure my other league is going to be around next year so I thought I would join another league. I just started Ottoneu last spring. It has been fun.

12 days left for arbitration. And we still need new owners for Cruzin and Wasabi. If you know of anyone looking to add a team, please suggest our league!

Hi all. Bit of housekeeping. Wasabi won't be returning next season, but did stick around to complete arbitration (thanks!). Sorry to see you leave, Wasabi. Also, Cruzin has not been on site since August 22, and has not replied to my messages this week. Is it ok with everyone that I go ahead and abandon those teams and get new owners? No need to reply unless you want me to wait longer on Cruzin.

Hi all. Welcome to the two new members! This is my first time acting as commish, and Algae/R.O.U.S. have agreed to be my training wheels, which is kind. Hope to avoid being terrible. Please send me direct messages, or send it through league chat, if I am being a blockhead about something.
