Yep. We're all full. I'm going to work on the Couch Manager auction room. I'd like to start the auction sometime after March 1. I'll include instructions and whatnot as we get closer to creating the auction room.
-
looks like we're full up again. Welcome new owner!
-
FYI: I'm working on finding a replacement owner for 'Holy Owned..' If you know of someone, have them join. In the meantime, I'm trying convince 1 other person and I've put the opening on the Ottoneu community message board.
-
Hi all-Reminder that we will start our slow auction via Couch Managers. I could probably put together the draft board as early as the weekend of Feb 17-19 or March 3-5 and have everyone check their rosters and then begin the slow auction the week afterwards. Please let me know your preference. I'm trying to do CM over some longer weekends for me. If you have any questions or comments about CM and the slow auction, let me know.
-
Thanks glad to be here. I really like the active nature of the league

Who’s changing their name to Albert Pujols?
Welcome aboard, Mr. Lidge. I see you found Jim and his trade satisfactory.
-
Brad Lidge is sure a name I haven't thought of in a long time.
-
Hey all-we have a newly abandoned team: Not Hot Mess is not returning for the 2024 season. If you know someone interested, the team is completely open to join.
-
Remember: If you need to, renew your team for the 2024 season. I'm a little behind myself, so I'm happy to see the reminder at the top of my league page. Additionally, make any roster cuts by Jan 31. I'll start putting together a plan for a March auction.
-
Hey everyone-thanks for a good season of arbitration. Holy Named is going to be leaving our league. If you know someone who would like to join, let me know and we can get them signed up. In a week or 2, I’ll abandon the team and allow for anyone outside our league to join.
-
Hi everyone. It’s arbitration season. Please make your arb decisions before Nov. 14. This is a great way to keep the league healthy moving forward.
-
Congrats Allstars! I wish I had been personally more competitive, but really fun to see all the crazy trades leading up to the deadline and lead changes after. The top 5 was really fighting all season and I enjoyed watching it.
-
Thanks Vibes/Shot! Did not expect such a great Sept, but I'll take it. I'm good for '24.
-
We are officially in the off season-if you plan on not joining us next season, please let me know ASAP. I'm going to request that you stay through the end of Arbitration.
-
Congrats to Franco's Allstars! When I grabbed that lead in early September, I knew it was short lived. You did a tremendous job down the stretch.
-
congrats allstars on a great season win!
-
Hey everyone-I canceled the trade that was accidentally accepted today. It was mistakenly agreed to by Tooth gap. Gonna apply the ‘fat finger’ clause. Let me know if you have any questions.
-
I'm good, thanks commish!
-
Ok. Quick update (sorry for all the messages)-I added players to rosters that are currently holding spots with 60-day IL. This completes the auction. Rosters *should* be correct. Let me know and I’ll fix it.
-
Ok. Did I get it right?!
-
Too many Judge’s. Ha. I’ll figure it out.
-
It appears I have the wrong Endy
-
I shouldn't have any Endy Rodriguez.
-
Good catches. Double check the fixes.
-
Asking the same lines it looks like judge's got the wrong Endy Rodriguez
-
Nice catch! I probably wouldn't have noticed until he got called up.
-
I noticed Cohen got the wrong Zac(h) Veen
-
FWIW-I believe I found the 2 errors. I added the correct Joseph Ortiz to my roster and removed Daniel Espinoza from Holy Owned.
-
I ended the auction, imported the rosters, and started the league for the 2023 season. Let me know if there are any issues with your roster imports. Holy Owned and Biz are at 39 players-if you have a 60 Day IL spot, let me know and I'll import the 40th active player to your roster. Otherwise, happy baseball season. Communicate with me any roster issues PRIOR to opening day.
-
A few things-Sorry I was out and about most of the weekend: didn't get a chance to monitor the auction closely. Looking at the board, we are essentially holding a very long snake draft. I reduced the time to 8hr and 6 hr to address this for a bit. I did a roster import-I received two errors from this import. Let me know if something doesn't match up with your rosters. Lastly, I ended a bunch of $1 auctions-speed it up. Tomorrow, I'm going to hand out noms to those that need to finish up.
-
Much better. Well done, commish.
-
I'll allow the Baty auction to continue as it had activity about 8 hours ago and I suspect a few went to bed after the last increase.
-
In the attempt to bypass some of the clogged arteries of our auction, I'm going to end any auction that hasn't had a bid placed on it in over 8 hours.
-
Could we get some pass button users??? This draft is self inflicted and painfully long.
-
FYI-I added a nomination to your totals this morning. Use them wisely and freely. I'll adjust timing as more teams move beyond 20 roster spots.
-
I started the auction. I'll do my best to track it for the first few moments. Use the CM chat to ask/answer any questions. Have fun!
-
OK. Here's a quick "How to..." for Couch Managers. I know a lot of us have drafted through CM. Again- double check your rosters and salaries. Let me know if you need to make any adjustments.

Hi all-The auction is loaded. A few things prior to getting started-1. Check your teams. I was able to do a 5 minute review of finances, but I didn't get into the individual salaries-you need to check this. 2. We can start whenever we want. My plan was to hit the start button tomorrow morning between 8-9 CT, but we can go whenever we want now. We will start with 12hr initial auction time with a 10hr reset until everyone gets comfortable. I'm in no rush, but don't want this to drag either.
-
Oh. Forgot. If you haven't, try to update your team name on CM to most align to your league name. Under "Settings" and "Edit team name" at the bottom of the screen.
-
Hey. I'm working on the last two entries into the auction...sorry Steve Cohen...I'll begin importing line ups today and into tomorrow. Hopefully we can begin the auction Monday.
-
I'm in the lobby, my name is Fidelio. I'm actually doing two couch managers auctions
-
I’ll cross reference later, but remember to sign up for the auction so I can populate our rosters over the weekend. Starting Monday. Link and password in previous post.
-
I am preparing the CM auction room. I’m still pointing to a March 13 start date. Follow this link-enter your team name(be sure it’s the same as the name in this league).

Let me know if you have questions. I’ll provide a CM tutorial prior to drafting.
-
Good morning-My plan is to build the Couch managers auction room this weekend so we can populate the auction room through next week, and begin the auction in the morning (Chicago time) on Monday, 3/13. For those of you new to CM, I will put together a quick tutorial and share it with the group just prior to beginning the auction. Questions? DM me.
-
FYI-I made the suggested cuts from Moonlight Graham today-that's the reason for all the post 1/31 cuts.
-
Ya I got 29 roster spots to fill so the slow draft may take a bit for me. Welcome everyone ! (Also joined this off-season and look forward to filling out my squad)
-
Welcome to the league newbies!
-
Welcome aboard-We are officially full. I'm glad that was quick. Let's use March 13 as an auction start date. Again, it's probably as LATE as we can start this league. Still, it could come with a better sense of value through Spring Training battles and injuries.
-
Hey all, I took over Krushers. I'll make my cuts soon after I look at the team. I'll give the obligatory 'anyone is available for trade' up front. I've played Otto for a while. I have 3 (now 4) teams going now. Looking forward to turning this team around and joining the league!
-
Welcome to our new owner-I believe you get one round of cuts, but I noticed you only cut Bauer...if you were unaware of this rule, please let me know and I can manually cut players for you.
Post March 13 could work-that would probably be the last possible day to begin in order to complete the auction by opening day.
