Cool. Let me know.

The new system seems awfully confusing...but could be useful as well.

I'm open to either option, but I guess I prefer the voting a player off as that was my understanding of what would happen going into the season.

Fun season, by the way. Great job, all!

[metsmarathon]

i like the new arbitration process. it seems more equitable.

i'm looking forward to figuring out how to run my team this offseason.

also, i think it might be good to acquiesce control of the 'bot's team as soon as reasonably possible.

Certainly before the end of the arbitration period.

important dates for next year, per the ottoneu website:

�Start of Arbitration - October 16, 2012
�End of Arbitration - November 15, 2012
�Keeper Deadline - January 31, 2013
�Auction Draft Day - March 24, 2012 12:00 AM
�Start of Regular Season - TBD
�Trade Deadline - TBD
�End of Regular Season - TBD

It depends if you want to do arbitration twice, or want seawolf to do it. I believe the renewal date stays, so the transfer is easy. I'm not sure how to do the transfer yet, i assume there's a way to do it without releasing to teh team to abandonment and having him claim it.

[TransMonk]

I'm fine with figuring out the new process. Seems fun.

[metsmarathon]

i don't want the moral ambiguity of having to go through the arbitration process twice. i don't think it would be fair to let me assign arbitration dollars against myself (or to allow me not to assign arbitration dollars to myself on behalf of the new owner of the clockwork orange and blues). it also muddies the waters of how i would assign arbitration values to the rest of everybody, i should think.

I don't see an easy way to transfer a team without the abandon/claim timing method of you clicking the button while seawolf is clicking refresh.

Ah. This is some sort of open online league that we all jumped in together on? I'll do whatever we need, if marathon and I need to do it together, or if he can just change the e-mail address on the second account to mine or whatever.

What's the link to the league?

no changes to account names are permitted though. (fangraphs account)

this is the league: http://ottoneu.fangraphs.com/209/home

this is the 'claim abandoned teams' page: http://ottoneu.fangraphs.com/claimteams

I could probably email niv about simply switching the team to a different account, but timing it is probably easier. Worse case scenario we force-abandon the team if someone else sneaks in and claims it and we try again.

[seawolf17]

Created my account. Let me know what I should do.

[Ceetar]

just waiting on metsmarathon to abandon the team then. Trying to remember if he was up in the air about it being the bot or him or I'd do it for him. Then you can simply click 'claim' on the abandoned team page.

[seawolf17]

When you/he are ready to go, hit me up on twitter and we'll make it happen as quickly as we can.

The funny thing is, I could have told Wolf anything he needed to know over lunch today...

And instead you spent the time making Dickey jokes and giggling?

Dickey was actually the first subject of the conversation, although there were no jokes involved.

[m.e.t.b.o.t.]

m.e.t.b.o.t. is prepared to abandon the fantasy baseball team. m.e.t.b.o.t. in coming years will attempt to integrate the unique mechanical data processing skills which returned a 10th place season into the more mundane, flawed human powered alpine alpacas, creating a superior fantasy sports juggernaut that might possibly wrest itself out of the offensive gutter, and to vanquish whatever shall remain on the former roster of the clockwork oranges.

were m.e.t.b.o.t. more capable of emotions than a loosely assembled collection of discarded watch and vcr parts wrapped in inexpensive chinese tin, m.e.t.b.o.t. would be sorry to no longer be in charge of the wrong chris young, the wrong francisco rodriguez, and the wrong jason bay.

moreso, m.e.t.b.o.t. would be sorry to no longer have available such bargain-priced players as chase headley, pedro alvarez, kris medlen, and homer bailey.

[seawolf17]

I'm taking over a team with Jason Bay on it!??! Fuckin' hell.

[metsmarathon]

yes, but then so did the bot.

at least you can relish the opportunity to drop him with vehemence.


...

hmm... i think you'll need ceetar to designate clockwork as abandoned. i cannot apparently abandon the team myself. at least, i don't see the button anywhere.

[Ceetar]

abandoned. go go go

way up top of the page is the link to edit team if you prefer a less mechanical team name.

[seawolf17]

Way to abandon the team while I'm in a meeting. "Oh, don't mind me. Just have to claim this roto team."

Will keep this in mind if anyone quits between now and March.

[A Boy Named Seo]

Gracias.

[metsmarathon]

arbitration season is open! get in there and jack up the salaries of your opponents' best deals!

[seawolf17]

So we're supposed to go in to each team and assign no more than $3 per team in salary increases, with a total $25 limit? Making sure I get this right.

Think that's right, yeah.

[metsmarathon]

yup. if you do it wrong, the page'll come up with an error. it'd be more helpful if it explained what you did wrong, but, eh, whatchagonnaedo!

[metsmarathon]

hey, all, get your arbitration dollars in asap! time's a-wasting!
