See you all tomorrow night! Good luck!
-
hey all..check to see if your draft rooms work, mine didn't and I got an error message, contacted Niv and he said some people with chrome are having that issue..I had to download firefox to get it to work, you may want to check now in case you have to do same.
-
Hey guys, been traveling so sorry for the slow response or if all new owners have already wrapped up cuts. Agreed that week sounds like a reasonable timeframe to make these cuts, and gives everyone else sufficient time to prep for the draft. I’ll check back in once I’m back home mid next week. Thanks all

I'm fine with a week for cuts
-
Certainly a week should be plenty
-
I think a week is more than reasonable, I’d be good with that.
-
Sorry if I inferred that anyone disagreed with giving new owners time. The purpose of my statement was that there was plenty of room for reasonable disagreement to my perspective. This seems like a good natured discussion, and the league could benefit from a clarification of the expectations of new owners.
Is a week a reasonable expectation for the round of free cuts?
-
I appreciate all our new owners taking the teams on, which is critical to the League's operation. I am all good with giving time to assess the roster. None of the new owners are acting in violation of any rule. The start of spring training and what I saw with Bradish just got me to thinking about whether there is/should be a rule.
-
It wasn't really directed at anyone. My thought process was seeing the news about Bradish yesterday. Then I thought, well, what if a player suffers a season or career-ending injury between now and the auction. Would the free cuts rule permit an owner to wait until the auction to make cuts to see how things shake out with his players. That's exactly what I would want to do, and it doesn't look to me like it is addressed by the Ottoneu rules. Since I am new to this situation, thought I'd ask.
-
I dont want to speak out of turn but I think the original question about cuts was directed at Larry Bird’s tight hamstrings.
-
fwiw, I agree, Cans of Corn, that new owners should be given time. I'm fine with whatever everyone thinks is reasonable. Just wondered if a timeframe made sense and, if so, I think deciding upon one as a generally applicable rule going forward is best. If life circumstances mean a new owner needs more time than the whatever the general rule might be, I'd be in favor of the Commish liberally granting an extension request.
-
I joined just before you, Neanderthal, but I won't be making any cuts. It may less than half of a team, but the guys I have are worth more than I'm paying them.
From my perspective, and perhaps other disagree... I also think it's fine for new owners to take a few days and look at who will be available at auction before making their cuts. Get your bearings, and cut as soon as you're ready.
-
I joined the league 2 days ago and I want to thank you all for your good wishes. I have been looking at free agents and my team and values to determine what ,if any ,cuts I will make. Did other teams join just before me but after cut deadline? If so have they made their cuts yet? If so they should make them even before me if that is the case. Preliminarily my cuts will be very few.
-
I can't speak for this league specifically, as I just joined. But in Ottoneu, generally, a new owner is expected to make their single round of complimentary cuts within a couple of days of joining a league. There is no hard and fast rule, however.
-
I agree
-
A general question as this is my first go around with post-keeper changes to ownership and free rounds of cuts. Does this or other leagues have a designated time frame in which a new owner either makes cuts or stand pat?
-
Welcome, Neander! Appreciate you for joining!
-
Welcome!
-
I am happy to join your league and look forward to competing with all of you . I have been playing various forms of fantasy for years (this is my second Ottoneu baseball league ) and I have a football one as well.
The store is open for business . I have quite a few players at first base so if anyone is interested please drop me a note. At first glance it looks like I could use some middle infielders. My new team name is The Neanderthal because I have been around for awhile.

welcome to new owner of CCC

Thanks for the warm welcome! Looks like FFF's prediction of a quick claim came true. I'll be looking to increase activity from this squad - looks like a lot of surplus for only half a roster. I've got no issue with the scheduled draft date/time. Guess I'll try to find the other half of my roster then!
-
Welcome ForearmTightness!
-
One of the fastest new owner searches of all time! Welcome forearmtightness — you come highly recommended from a few managers who've been playing with you in other leagues :)
Now let's try to fill CCC's spot!

LOL I agree, I have never seen anyone acquire quite as much talent while being quite as disengaged as PM. Very impressive in its own way, guy obviously knows what he’s doing, but honestly I’ve been expecting him to just ghost an offseason and drop out of the league for at least 3 seasons now.
-
That's fair. I'll post to the owners wanted channel. If someone can post in slack that'd be great. Let's try to get these guys filled quick.

I personally don’t want either back. Active would be the last word I’d use to describe either one. Prospectus was great at finding talent in the draft but a horrible in season manager. If they can’t be bothered to pay in time, let’s find owners who are hopefully more engaged.
-
it's beyond me how you forget, besides your reminder it is in red on top of your team telling you when you are close to expiring and to renew.
-
Ugh. I messaged both of them a few days ago as a reminder to pay for the new season but I guess they forgot. Both seemed active (especially Prospectus), so I wonder if we can get them back? Does anyone play with them in another league and could DM them to see if they're interested in coming back? I'll post in the meantime to see if we can get interest from any new owners just in case

Thats rough...Prospectus' team should get filled in about 2 seconds. Loaded with talent/surplus if/when it gets posted.
-
well looks like we lost two more teams as corpus christi and prospectus have expired..and new team still needs to do cuts..not in fine shape here
-
Jose Ramirez, Alec Bohm, JP Crawford, Nick Castellanos, Alex Verdugo, Brandon Marsh, Josh Naylor, Joe Ryan, and Yennier Cano are amongst the most available assets if anyone wants to flip something for them after the draft

Yes, at the top of my screen it says ‘ Since you just claimed this team, you have one round of penalty-free cuts.’ So I’ll work on that

Oh, terrific! Thanks Billboard, and I apologize for not knowing!
-
I think penalty free cuts is an established Ottoneu rule. And welcome new owner.
-
Welcome, new Spiders owner! I am pretty new at all of this, but I've seen on other "new owner" postings some references to a "round of penalty free cuts" for an owner picking up an existing team. If that is a thing, and if that courtesy can be extended to the new owner, I'd be in favor. I'm not sure the Spiders did much housecleaning at the end, and, even if they did, would support the new owner getting to trim now if he would like to adjust to his own liking. Thanks all.
-
Welcome aboard!
-
Welcome to the league!

Hi all, taking over the Cleveland Spiders; I appreciate you letting me in Soriano. I’ll be changing the name shortly.
I know we can’t trade yet, but if anyone wants to let me know who they would like on my team, I’m game to start talking trade for post-draft. I’d be fine to cover any loans to make it cap-neutral as well if you are concerned about any prices. Thank you, and looking forward to enjoying this with you all

Good call, just abandoned it
-
abandoning the team would help
-
Sorry for the delay here, Cleveland Spiders let me know a couple days ago that he's no longer in for next season. I'll post on the ottoneu message board, but if someone can post on slack as well that'd be great
-
Not a good look industry guy...ha
-
We have a team not under cap
-
Hey all, there's an opening in league 1222 that just opened up. $250 5x5 with engaged and competitive owners (except for the guy that just left...ha). I pasted a link to the open team: https://ottoneu.fangraphs.com/1222/team?team=8766.
-
Ok I just heard back that if we draft after the Mar 20-21 games, stats will be zeroed out. That would be bad, so let's shoot for Mar 19. I'm going to set the draft for Tues Mar 19 at 8pm ET/5pm PT. Please message here by Jan 31 if this time does NOT work for you. Thanks!

March 19 is good for me
-
I can do 19th
-
I'd rather do the 19th, I don't want to draft after the season starts.
