• From the remaining two weekends, I can't do 3/17 but could do 3/18 at night (EST). I also can't do 3/24 (afternoon) but can do anytime 3/25.

  You, You, You, Ottoneu on February 13, 2012 2:26 PM

• any time in march is good except the 10th.

  Open Water Skubal Divers on February 13, 2012 1:22 PM

• Ok, so it sounds like having the draft on the weekend is what looks best. For me, I cannot do March 3-4 or 10-11. I am fine with any other weekend though. What do people think?

• Rat Morsels's trading block has been updated!

  Cinéma Vérité on February 13, 2012 1:07 AM

• Craig's K Club's trading block has been updated!

  Jesters on February 12, 2012 1:20 AM

• Carry on my Heyward Son's trading block has been updated!

  You, You, You, Ottoneu on February 11, 2012 3:01 PM

• My other league created a google doc spreadsheet where everybody filled in their availability. Seemed to work well.

  Jesters on February 9, 2012 6:04 AM

• Sounds like a weekend might be our best bet for the draft. I think the season starts on 3/28, so we'd need to be done by then.

  You, You, You, Ottoneu on February 7, 2012 5:16 PM

• yeah, verlander was 44 when i cut him, dont think he is worth that much and the team i took over was a complete mess, need to start over

  Open Water Skubal Divers on February 5, 2012 10:55 AM

• I just started a new job working weekdays from 7:30am - 5:30pm west coast time, so I would prefer a weekend draft, or a weeknight draft that starts after 9pm east coast time.

  Non-Fungible Torkelson on February 4, 2012 7:10 PM

• Rat - what do you think the best way to do this is? Do you want to e-mail out 3 or 4 potential draft dates to everyone and have us let you know when we can/can't draft?

  You, You, You, Ottoneu on February 3, 2012 8:56 AM

• When you look at the players who were cut, if only shows half of their salary (during the regular season you are still responsible for half the salary of the player you cut). In the case of Verlander it shows $22 but he really cut him at a price of $44

  Cinéma Vérité on February 2, 2012 12:40 PM

• any time non-east coast work hrs

  Open Water Skubal Divers on February 2, 2012 10:16 AM

• I can draft whenever- also, I guess this is too late now, but any elite player under $30 dollars is a bargain. I dont mean to pick on one guy, because there were a lot of eye openers, but if Justin Verlander will go for more than twice that price

  Blue Suede Schus on February 2, 2012 3:36 AM

• As far as a draft date goes I'm pretty flexible. Weekend maybe better because I'm on the west coast?

  Hatchet, By Gary Paulsen on February 2, 2012 12:48 AM

• Any thoughts on a draft date? Last year we just did it on a weeknight. It actually took 2 nights since it was so long, but I doubt that will happen this year. Would a weeknight in mid-late March work? Or are weekends better?

  You, You, You, Ottoneu on February 1, 2012 3:35 PM

• I'd be up for that, but can't think of anything good right now. For the new guys, Justin Merry is (was?) a Fangraphs writer who started this league and invited us to join. He got too busy to keep up with it, so his friend took over his team (Patsies)

  You, You, You, Ottoneu on January 31, 2012 2:20 PM

• I also think we should come up with a new league name. Anyone have any ideas? Maybe something that honors Justin

  Cinéma Vérité on January 30, 2012 10:08 PM

• Welcome everyone! Glad to see the league will go on strong. I guess after everyone makes their keeper selections, the next thing to do is set a draft date. Looking forward to a fun season.

  You, You, You, Ottoneu on January 30, 2012 9:31 PM

• Alright, looks like all the team owners are now set.

  Cinéma Vérité on January 30, 2012 6:06 PM

• Yah, Niv is about to make the change from 9 Diamond Surfers to my friend, and then I put TPT as abandoned.

  Cinéma Vérité on January 30, 2012 4:45 PM

• Sounds good Rat. You can e-mail Niv to make the ownership change. And the abandoned teams have been getting picked up quickly. So as long as it's done tonight or maybe tomorrow morning, we should be set.

  You, You, You, Ottoneu on January 30, 2012 4:35 PM

• I have somebody ready to take over one of these teams, just waiting to hear back from him on the team he wants. Then I will mark the other as abandoned.

  Cinéma Vérité on January 30, 2012 1:52 PM

• Rat - I've been e-mailing with Niv a little bit. I actually found someone to take over Maybee Babies. But I think you should probably mark 9 Diamond and TPT as abandoned asap so the new owners can come in and make any necessary cuts.

  You, You, You, Ottoneu on January 30, 2012 9:36 AM

• Congrats Rat - and good to have you back. Still no word from Maybee, 9 Diamond or The Peoples Temple. They didn't vote in arbitration and haven't responded to multiple e-mails and message board posts. At this point, I think we may need to move on...

  You, You, You, Ottoneu on January 30, 2012 9:08 AM

• Thanks Carry for helping out with the team confirmations. Who else do we need to confirm?

  Cinéma Vérité on January 29, 2012 11:23 PM

• Thanks Carry for helping out with the team confirmations. Who else do we need to confirm?

  Cinéma Vérité on January 29, 2012 11:12 PM

• Yes I will be back. Sorry I have been busy, just got back from 4 months studying in Europe and just graduated. So I have been doing a lot of job stuff.

  Cinéma Vérité on January 29, 2012 11:07 PM

• Way too much value heading to Heyward in that trade. Kipnis is unproven and Fister is likely to regress, but at those prices either one is likely worth Choo at that contract.

  Non-Fungible Torkelson on January 29, 2012 3:33 PM

• Rat, Maybee, 9 Diamond and TPT - Can you please confirm asap if you're returning? If not, we need to have new owners in place by Tuesday's keeper deadline. Thanks!

  You, You, You, Ottoneu on January 29, 2012 10:50 AM

• Thanks for the info Heyward and Felix. Looking forward to the coming season!

  Hatchet, By Gary Paulsen on January 29, 2012 2:35 AM

• I think the only teams that haven't confirmed are Rat, Maybee, 9 Diamond and The People's Temple. Glad to see the league will go on strong

  You, You, You, Ottoneu on January 28, 2012 8:56 AM

• Curve & Felix - glad to know you guys are back. Curve - I think the deadline to pay is 2/26. If you click on your username at the very top of the screen, it takes you to a page where it should say the deadline.

  You, You, You, Ottoneu on January 28, 2012 8:54 AM

• The deadline for paying is the beginning of the season, I think. As for changing your name, there should be a link at the very top of the page called "Edit The Curvilinears".

  Non-Fungible Torkelson on January 28, 2012 3:32 AM

• When is the deadline for paying? Wouldn't want to miss that.

  Hatchet, By Gary Paulsen on January 28, 2012 1:05 AM

• I'd also be willing to learn the ins and outs of being commissioner - maybe as an apprentice commissioner for the season?

  Hatchet, By Gary Paulsen on January 28, 2012 12:59 AM

• Also, would like to change my team name if that is possible. Thanks.

  Hatchet, By Gary Paulsen on January 28, 2012 12:56 AM

• Hi, I'll be back for next year. I took over Justin's team i.e. The Curvilinears. I don't know why I'm still named as commissioner - not a good idea since I barely know how the Ottoneu setup works!

  Hatchet, By Gary Paulsen on January 28, 2012 12:50 AM

• Just to confirm, I'm planning to renew for next year.

  Non-Fungible Torkelson on January 27, 2012 10:45 PM

• Welcome Enrico! Glad to see the spots are filling up. Also glad to have another laser afficianado in the league :-)

  You, You, You, Ottoneu on January 27, 2012 3:15 PM

• Hi all! I'm Enrico, I claimed Tits' Laser Show. I love lasers.

  South Side Sufferers on January 27, 2012 2:59 PM

• Gladden - I'm pretty sure we don't have the option to delay. 1/31 is the date across the entire Ottoneu platform

  You, You, You, Ottoneu on January 27, 2012 1:12 PM

• are we delaying cut down date???

  Blue Suede Schus on January 27, 2012 12:45 PM

• Welcome aboard Frank. We have a decent amount of turnover, but we had a pretty fun league last year. Hope you enjoy it!

  You, You, You, Ottoneu on January 27, 2012 11:40 AM

• Hello, Frank here. I claimed Crazy Foxes

  Jesters on January 27, 2012 10:57 AM

• Earlier today, I reached out to most of the guys that I thought weren't coming back and asked them to abandon their teams. I think me, Rat, Tits, Gladden and Felix are probably all renewing. Between us and the two new owners, that only leaves 4 more

  You, You, You, Ottoneu on January 26, 2012 5:47 PM

• Welcome Binomite! It looks like we have two new owners today (you and Eva). Hopefully we can take care of the few remaining teams and have a good 2nd season!

  You, You, You, Ottoneu on January 26, 2012 5:12 PM

• Just wanted to say hello to everyone, claimed Binomite. Hope to improve on 4th to last

  Open Water Skubal Divers on January 26, 2012 4:07 PM

• There is a new feature for a commish to mark teams as abandoned if we know they aren't coming back. Then, players looking for a team can claim the abandoned teams. Rat - it may be a good idea to find out which teams to mark as abandoned before 1/31.

  You, You, You, Ottoneu on January 19, 2012 2:32 PM

• I think we should delay the cut down date
