Play ball!

Let's go!!!
-
Happy Opening Day!
-
i need 21 and just started doing my "research" 5 minutes before the draft.
-
Look at the guy who won the league two out of the last three years trying to bluff us! Nice try!
-
Who else needs to draft 20 players and has done minimal research ahead of time? Buckle up, this is gonna be a fun draft! :D
-
Best of luck to all tonight!

Welcome aboard Bryan and... Go Nuts you Big Lug!!
-
Hey, so I cut Connor Joe but it won't let me cut anyone else, I have more players I want to trim off
-
Welcome Bryan! Yes, I'll make sure that your penalty-free cuts setting is enabled, let me know if you run into any issues with it
-
Hey everyone, my name is Bryan, I was browsing team and this seemed like a team of interest for me, I look forward to being in the league, am I still able to make cuts with no penalty since I got a late start? I just need one round of cuts to do so before the draft.
-
Great by me! Pitchers and catchers reported yesterday! It's officially baseball season!

Based on the Doodle poll, it looks like March 22nd should work for the majority of the league! (I figure we want something closer to opening day, that way rosters will be relatively settled and hopefully most of the injuries will be out of the way). Any objections to a 9pm ET draft start time on Wednesday, March 22nd? (I'm tentatively setting it in our league settings, but we can revise as needed)
-
Thanks for organizing the Doodle, Mayhem! Also, it appears that Windy City let his team expire, so we either will need him to re-join (Tyler Oneill's Biceps can maybe get ahold of him IRL?) or we'll need to get someone to take it over (it's freely available on the Claim a Team page presently)
-
We've got a majority of owners weighing in on the draft date, and several options that look like they're going to work. Last call for Doodle voting before we call it!

I've set up a Doodle for us to schedule the draft. Please select the dates you're available and unavailable, and note that 'if need be' is an option. I'm going to assume we'll do the draft at around 8pm Eastern. If that doesn't work, we can do a poll for specific times. Opening Day is on March 30th. Thanks!

I need to shed some salary, which means I'm gonna have to cut at least some of these players. Let me know if you'd like to trade for one of them, I'm not giving them away but they won't be absurdly expensive, just has to outweigh me trying to get them back at auction for less $$$
$54 Gerrit Cole
$31 Giancarlo Stanton
$29 Nick Castellanos
$22 DJ LeMahieu (1B/2B/3B)
$17 Tommy Edman (2B/SS)
$9 Jameson Taillon
$8 Craig Kimbrel (RP)
$6 Tylor Megill

Welcome to the league Amparent!
-
Welcome Amparent, new owner of 40 Guys, 40 Cabs!
-
I confirmed with 40 Guys that they still wanted to leave, and have marked their team as available to claim. If you have a friend who wants to join, they can search for "OC Fantasy Baseball" at this link: https://ottoneu.fangraphs.com/claimteams
-
I know 40 Guys requested to leave the league, assuming that's still the case (I DM'd them to confirm), does anyone have anyone they know that would be interested in joining, or should I open things up to the greater Ottoneu community? Additionally, is there anyone else who wants to leave? If so please let me know ASAP so I can make that change and seek new managers :)
-
Thanks for stepping up!

Thanks to Windy City for the promotion to co-commish! I tend to be relatively active, so anyone who needs anything please let me know :) looking forward to this upcoming season, and reminder that we're 8 days away from the keeper deadline, so everyones' rosters will need to be legal by then!
-
I'm very much in favor of the multiple commissioner scenario, and would prefer that to being sole commissioner :)
-
Cool by me
-
I agree on all points.
-
Ottoneu leagues can have multiple commissioners. I honestly just think Stanton should be added as a second commissioner. I'd say it's just a good policy in general to have two so that we don't run into this situation where everything shuts down if one person is MIA for some amount of time.
-
For what it's worth, I'm fully in favor of Windy City remaining in the league (assuming he wants to), and if/when he gets back to a point in his life where he wants to return to being commish I'll be happy to cede it back to him -- he's done a great job, but obviously real life comes first over fantasy baseball, and wedding planning stuff takes time/energy! (and congrats to Windy City on the upcoming nuptials!)
-
Given he's not taking part in this conversation I think it's safe to transfer. Stanton, if you're willing, will you please reach out to him to transfer?
-
He’ll respond.
-
So can anyone get through to Windy City? When I've messaged him, he's been unresponsive. But to add a new commissioner, he needs to log on to do it. Otherwise, we'd have to ask Niv to do it for us.
-
I second the nomination.
-
I'd be happy to take over as commish if needed, I am already a commissioner in another league so I have experience w/running an ottoneu league. I've enjoyed being in this league and hope it continues!
-
I don't think anyone wants to leave or end this league. We just want the commissioner to wake up.
-
Agreed.
-
I also don’t think the Commisioner would mind considering transferring Commisioner but keeping team.
Is there anyone that would want that?
That being said- If he wants to continue then I vote him to continue because he’s played incredibly since inception and I like how the league has been ran.
-
I'd like to hear from the commissioner soon and more often. We have a freeze deadline coming up fast, teams that may be AWOL, and we need to start setting a draft date.
-
40 guys… that’s a completely reasonable take. It’s been a pleasure. Anyone else that needs to leave, appreciate you letting the Commisioner know.
-
Look- the commissioner is getting married. He’s got more important things to do then Arbitration. He always has made sure to keep only active guys around, but this is a tough league with no $ other than paying in. It’s voluntary and not a paid gig to commission so it comes across as abrasive… if a league that can forgive not doing arbitration but confirming via email or some communication they want in and $ then great. If you want something else let the commissioner know and we will replace.
-
I agree with everyone's takes here. I do want out, and messaged the commissioner to that effect about a week before the arb deadline. Without a response from him, I'm not really sure how to go about leaving, so I haven't been responsive to trade requests, etc. It sounds to me like we (well, you) need a new commissioner if the current one is abdicating the job. Hey, just like real baseball!
-
Yeah, it would be nice if the commissioner were taking at least a minimal role. No arbitration completed and not even a single post on this message board in nearly a year. If he's not into this league anymore, someone needs to take the reigns.
-
No, I don't want out. But at least 25% of the league was inactive this season, and those inactive teams have not been addressed. Missing arbitration should be an automatic dismissal in my opinion. The cut deadline is a few weeks away, so if we're getting new owners, we need them now. I'm just raising my concerns and airing some frustration.
-
If you want out feel free. I love the competition in this league and I thought you played awesome until the end. The commissioner’s team never really had the chance but he still had a middle of the pack competitive year and a lot of guys traded for some solid prospects. I even joined another league from this one because I enjoy this league and appreciate everyone’s activity.
That being said. If someone isn’t active they get booted is what’s happened traditionally, but it’s a tough
-
Maaaannnn I finally got a decent team (on paper) for the first time in 3 years too
-
What is the future of this league? If we have multiple unresponsive teams, including a commissioner who didn't complete arbitration, what should I expect from the coming season? If the league is dying, I don't want to just go through the motions. But I need some clarity sooner rather than later, so I can decide if it's worth continuing to invest my $20 and mental energy this season. Not sure how other folks feel, but with no change thus far I wanted to be open about how I'm feeling.
-
Last day for arbitration, gents.
-
Thanks all, and thanks Pine Tar for that breakdown, that's really cool! A lot of credit goes to the (hopefully) MVP, Aaron Judge for that! And hopefully he can stay on fire through the playoffs! :D
