Can we have a couple of days to set up draft lists before timers begin.

Thanks for taking this on, Horse!

12-hour timers with a 9-hour reset?

I'm happy to get it set up, though it won't be until this evening at the earliest. So if you have settings requests, get them in now 😛

Thanks again Otto. Hang in there (little cat poster) there is no better way to keep a fun league going than putting out $500 from your own pocket... I gotta give credit to Otto who paid the Giambinos before the season ended! Playball!

All teams are now claimed, and all rosters legal. Thanks everyone!! Draft is up next. I'm still very very slowly recovering so please bear with me. Does anyone in the group have experience running a couchmanagers draft? If so, I'd be thrilled to have someone run that for us. Please contact me if interested. Either way, we'll get it knocked out soon. Again, the league winner this year gets $500. Tolosa and ElPollus are eager to win it again, but several of us have other plans. 😂

Howdy everybody. Just claimed the last abandoned team. Like Rodon my first time back in Ottoneu in years.
I'll get my cuts in later today. Slow draft works for me.

Welcome to Horse you Rodon!! One more team to go and we'll get auction lined up

👍 I was trying to get it done when I claimed the team but my kids didn't allow me enough time... Should get it done tonight.
Btw the Hogs team is vacant so if anybody knows someone looking for a team, that's a good one to suggest.
-
Welcome. Just a reminder you get a round of cuts to get below budget but have to make all at the same time.

Hey all! I have claimed Salvatore's team. I haven't done Ottoneu in like 8 or 9 years(!) so I'm looking forward to it. Slow draft sounds good to me, though I've never done it.
-
Hope you’re recovering smoothly Otto! I’m happy to participate in whichever draft format works the best for the group.

Hope you keep recovering Otto, I feel you. I just had one elective surgery yesterday and between the physical recovery and (for me) the emotional drag (why did i do this!?) it's been exhausting. Good to go with the slow draft. Should we start now or am going too fast?

The slow drafts are fun and eliminates the hastle of finding a date that fits everyone's schedule
-
I love the slow auctions on CM
-
Hope you're doing okay, Otto! I've never done a slow draft before, but will be trying it for the first time in another league. I'm open to trying it as well, especially with how busy I've been lately.
-
As a new member, I don't feel like I'd attempt to stand in the way. I'd prefer a fast auction, as I've never tried slow, but I guess, trying something new works.
-
I am good with a slow draft.
-
Given scheduling difficulties trying to get everyone lined up slow draft makes sense. At least try for one year.

Hey commish, sorry to hear the recovery is slower than expected. Glad you are well.
For auctions, about half of mine are slow this year, and I am fine with the format. I do prefer fast auctions, but as a fellow commish, I understand how difficult they can be to schedule. And slow auctions are pretty slick.

Also, I have just participated in a slow auction in another ottoneu league via couchmanagers.com. That was a first for me, and I really enjoyed it. I'd like to hear feedback from you guys on slow auctions. I'd be very open to doing that here. But if there is strong oppostion, we will arrange a traditional one once those two teams are claimed. Thanks guys!

sorry for being out for a while. recovering from some elective surgeries has been a larger undertaking than expected. I'm all good though, just moving slow. We need to get two new managers and get cracking on a draft. As a reminder I am continuing to put up a $500 cash prize to the winner of this league. So if any of you have a friend interested, get them to claim one of the two vacant teams. I'll put a notice out on the ottoneu forum in another day or two and mention the prize.

No issues for me. Commish's call.

Sorry all, I've been sick and forgot to make cuts. Barely renewed in time, but I've got that done. Anyone have issues with late cuts to make the team legal?
-
Only two days remain to renew your team, as well as get it under the 40/400 player/salary caps.

Just joined. Looking to make some moves before the cutoff - I updated the trade block, open to positions - have some big names to move.

Less than 10 days to the renewal and roster cut deadline.

Nice job Giambinos!
-
Congrats, Giambinos! Many thanks to the commish for another great year!
-
Thank you Otto for the recognition, the prize (received!), but especially for running this league! Giambinos still has some work to do this weekend. While we already broke Corn on the Cobb's 2022 league record of 18,034.6 points, we are looking to also win by the largest margin (+391.6 points last year).
Our team placed 7th in 2022 and we truly believe that the offseason was the key to our 2023 performance so hopefully everyone will be active and making trades during the upcoming of

With an almost 700 point lead with 3 days to go, it's pretty much a guaranteed lock that Giambinos is going to win the league. Congrats to Tolosa and El Pollus for the victory. They'll split the $500 prize for winning. Thanks to everyone for a fun year. I know of a couple of guys that are not returning, and I know of more that were unsure due to the payment method concerns. So we'll have spots to fill, but I hope to keep this league going. If you know anyone interested please reach out. Thanks!

I know a lot of people were bucking the new payment method (including me) because of it requiring our SSN's for signing up. Here's the latest from Niv......
"This week, our new payment provider is releasing a change that removes KYC checks for all payments on their platform. This means that Paydala and its underlying bank will not require SSN or home address when taking payments for your Ottoneu teams."
I see that as great news, and hope everyone will renew here.

It’s Elly de la Cruz day! Will trade him for a monstrous package of cheap, young talent.
-
All good. That flew right over my head I guess.
-
Sorry meant no disrespect. It was just a (clearly bad) pun involving the trading team names and that old Bryce Harper quote (https://youtu.be/u2R8KC4OE58).
Regardless, I don’t think there’s collusion so ok with the trade. I can’t undo the veto button though…

“Clown trade”? What an obnoxious comment to make. I’m considering value as well. You’re not aware of the attributes I’m valuing and I think this is a good time to sell. I needed a catcher.
-
WAR includes defense but that’s a reasonable perspective
Giambinos on
May 6, 2023 1:00 PM

I don't have a problem with the trade. Grandal is projected for 2.0 WAR this season, and 3.0 WAR next season. May is projected for 1.4 WAR this season, and 1.3 WAR next season. That's just one metric of evaluating the trade, but overall I'm fine with it.
-
That’s a clown trade bro!
Hey — hate to be the one protesting a trade but Grandal yielding a young pitcher (May) plus dollars seems a bit crazy. Grandal is old, plays catcher and his skills seem to be declining. Is there something we are missing here?

I will probably enter even though my team is not great haha. Niv mentioned OPL might go away if all 240 spots sell out, so will probably just use the spot as a donation to keep the format going. The team I entered last year ended up going further than expected, so you never know
-
Thanks Coca Nola! We're in. Any advice?
Giambinos on

for those teams that think they have a great team check out OPL--its best ball format and requires no real additional oversight on you part.
