[USML Announce] Ohtani Joins the Berliners!!

Fri Dec 8 19:31:05 EST 2017

I think that’s for the league to decide. I was just identifying how the web administrators are proposing to deal with this.

It seems to me that it would present us with an option, though I’m inclined to agree with Mark K. that in the absence of a change in the rules, he would retain his single headed status and it would just be up to me to choose on a week by week basis.

Jeff ... so does that mean Ohtani has “sprouted” and is now two beans, both of whom you own at $5?

Just putting that out there. Clarification needed

This issue was discussed during the AFL conference and the expectation is that Otani will be listed as 2 separate players for fantasy baseball purposes – one hitter and one pitcher.  I presume that will require me to elect whether I want to keep the Otani the pitcher (YES), Otani the hitter (MAYBE) or both.

It’s not that simple, Mark.  Our roto service classifies all players as one or the other, and players cannot cross from one side to the other.  It’s already theoretically possible to use a pitcher at Ute, but there is no way our service can move them over to the hitting side.  Maybe they will come up with a fix, but otherwise, it’s just not how our system works.  We are stuck with what we have.

I think he'll need to decide that about 25 times.  See my other response.

Congrats, Jeff.  I think we will need to decide if he is a hitter or pitcher, but we can sort that out.

The Berliners are pleased to welcome Shohei Ohtani to the squad. We’d rather he be a Cub but this is excellent consolation.

Sorry for the delay- been off the grid the past 3 weeks for my wedding/honeymoon and just got back last night.  My March is pretty wide open right now so whatever works for the broader group is good for me.

Prefer Mar 17 over 18th due to need to fly home on 18th. Could also probably attend prior weekend. Would prefer the Sunday of that weekend (11th).

Quickly looking at the calendar, March 17-18 also is best for me.  If it's one of the other weekends, I'll have some work obligations, but will start re-arranging.  (Priorities, priorities!).

Hi everyone,

Very strongly prefer the March 17-18 weekend.

The weekend before is potentially doable, but not as good. Right now I need to keep the latter weekend (March 24-25) open and may be traveling internationally.

Psyched for next season!

Thanks,
Frank

League:

  With the pro football and baseball seasons officially over, its time to start planning for USML 2018 -- our league's 30th season.  The first order of business is to pick a draft date.  This year, opening day is on Thursday, March 29, 2018, and Passover and Easter are both after opening day, so we have plenty of good options for a date.

  Please let me know on which of the following dates you are available:

March 10-11
March 17-18
March 24-25

  Check your calendars and try to respond soon so that we can lock in a date.
