right! if you dont participate, how does that make the league better? what could those teams behind you have done if you returned an email or responded to a trade request? they could have been waiting to hear back from you and missed out on another player from another team who could have helped them the same or if not more.

You hadn't been on since August and no one had heard from you. That's what it was about. Not where you finished in the standings or how many pts you had.

If I finish in the Bottom 3 in points this I will leave.

It's the off season. lol I had more points than JBP, SMF, and Orange. what does that say about them. ;-)

I think it's been plenty of time, I'm down for replacing YC.

my vote is yes.

So where are we in replacing Yellow with an active owner?

I suspect everyone else's experience has been similar and if that's the case, I think it's time to consider declaring the team abandoned or at least put it to a league vote.

YB's last transaction during the 2021 season was June 23. If you go back through YC"s transactions, there is a clear pattern that he will be here for the draft, make 5-7 transactions from the end of the draft to May or June and then will disappear for the remainder of the season. His trade block has never been updated. As near as I can tell, he has never accepted a trade from anyone and never even rejected a trade offer I made. He also has never responded to any messages I have sent to

Just a reminder to everyone that even though the keeper deadline has been extended to Feb 15th the deadline to renew is still January 31st. So far Chuck is the only one to extend for next season.

maybe its time to remove him?

The Yellow Crayons still haven't gotten on since August 2021.

I don't have any issue with this trade.

I clearly stated, gamble.

It was a muncy/Renfroe /+ a gain of $33/judge trade.
-
Seems above board to me

this muncy/judge trade is a difficult one. is anyone else having trouble with this one?

Anyone want to gamble on Muncy?
-
Will he be active.?Will he get back to me if I offer him a trade.? He still hasn't gotten on the site since August.
-
Just talked to Yellow Crayons and he will be good for next season.
-
I am still looking to make a deal.
-
interesting to watch who is cut during the free waiver period.

Probably at least wise to set a hard deadline to affirm that the team will be actively managed and that messages and such will be checked. Maybe like, if we don't hear otherwise by the end of the second week of December or something, if not just cutting it now.
-
I agree that it would be better to get the team posted sooner rather than later. I appreciate that the owner has been available for the draft but there also have been long periods of inactivity and a lack of communication over the last few seasons.

If we need a new manager now is the time to get one so that person can cut players and trade players with no penitently .
-
Do we need to find a new manager for Yellow? Didn't do arbitration and hasn't been on since August. Also has never updated his trade block once in the leagues history.

This is a very active league and my favorite one so I am surprise that 5 teams haven't participated in arbitration.

Reminder that Arbitration ends this Sunday, November 14.

Great to have you sticking with us! Arbitration starts tomorrow guys. Remember you have to use all $25 for your money to stick. I believe its minimum $1 per team and max $3 per team you can assign.
-
Okay that was helpful background and I appreciate the timeline explanation. I’ll give it a shot!
-
The above isn't that much different than any keeper/dynasty league. It is a daily line up league once the season starts but that's pretty straight forward and even the guys that run Ottoneu say you shouldn't be spending more than 5 minutes per day on your line up.
There are some nuances here and there. I put off trying Ottoneu for a year because the first time I looked at it, it seemed too complicated and involved. But the learning curve really was not nearly as difficult as I th

Bank One Ballpark Pool...Saw your message and wanted to provide a couple of thoughts. I know it seems like a lot initially but really it's 1. Arbitration coming up on 10/15 that runs a month. You can complete arbitration in 5-10 minutes, if not less. 2. After arb. Ends you have nothing until cut down day at the end of January other than pursuing trades if you wish. 3. From Feb 1 to Opening Day you have your own auction prep and then the auction draft to fill out rosters.

Abandon team, hello I am mew to
Ottoneu so thought I’d check this out. Too involved for my liking. Someone else can take over this team.

Congratulations Shoppy.

I don't recall illegal offseason rosters being a problem in the past, but that doesn't mean it didn't happen. I can see this season we are all going into the offseason with legal rosters so it also won't be a problem. That being said, having an illegal roster in the offseason is not against the rules unless we make it a house rule. I'll need to hear from people first on this, and then what your opinions are on enforcing this rule. For example: drop the most recent signings until they are legal..
-
Congrats Shoopy
-
I seem to remember that as well. We should all begin the off season with legal rosters.
-
I meant to ask last year but we still have to bring legal rosters into the offseason correct? Last year there was a team that was well over the roster limit after auctioning off a bunch of players at the last minute. Just want to make sure we are all on the same page. Seem like an unfair advantage to have extra players.

Kershaw on the block for anyone looking to make it deep into the playoffs. Smith on the block for anyone needing bullpen help.

I am looking for an outfield bat.

is anyone else having a problem with your lineup changes being saved?
