Oh, you're right. I had not known Frasso was drafted and cut. Move along, people. Nothing to see here.
-
I think bidding for Frasso started at $2 since Ottowan previously cut him at $3 (incurring a $2 cap penalty)
-
Nick Frasso went for $2 when no one but Otto-Wan bid on him. Should've been a buck. That's two bugs. One more and we got an infestation.
-
I was wondering how that happened! Guess it was a bug.
-
For whatever reason Zac Veen went through as a $0 cap penalty a few days ago - I added and re-cut him so the appropriate $1 cap penalty applies.
-
happy opening day!
-
Thanks Groupon! Baseball is almost back! wooo!
-
Rosters should be uploaded successfully - I got zero errors; 174 new players added!
-
Bumping to 4 nominations at 6 PM EST, and dropping the auction extension time down to 8 hr, accordingly.
-
Alright - waiting on the last two teams before we start tomorrow! And everyone check their rosters. I've only seen one error so far (Zac Veen), which I've corrected.
-
Alright, here's the link to the draft: https://www.couchmanagers.com/auctions/index.php?auction_id=829
The pw is "772draft". Join and claim a spot and I'll upload your team(s) over the course of the week. (Also, I reversed Ottowan's cut bc roster's are supposed to be locked between now and the draft.)
-
Focus group reviews came back on the team name options, finally. But then we ignored all of their advice and went with a cool animal instead. It might be fun to acquire shorter (but deadly) players to fit the theme.

Fwiw I only use my phone for Couch Managers. It's functional enough.

Wooo draft! Couchmanagers is somewhat usable on the phone! And in the past drafts the 1st round nominations would usually take more than 24h to get off the board.
-
Alright, sounds good. I will be traveling all that day (13 hours!), so I'm likely going to miss day 1 for the most part. Hopefully nobody's auction closes on day 1, at least not that I'm targeting! :)

Alright: we'll start the slow draft on Couchmanagers on Saturday, March 9 at 12 PM ET. That should give us enough time before the first couple of games in Korea on March 20. We'll start with a 24hr timer per auction & a 12hr extension when the top bid is supplanted. We'll do 3 nominations per team this year, I think (unless there are objections) and eventually we'll bump that to 4 nominations/team, with an 8hr extension instead of 12hr in the later rounds.

hot damn. welcome back Say Hey!

I sent him the password this morning.

Iβll check with Say Hey this evening. (Heβs my dad, in case anyone forgot or never knew.) There will be resolution on that this weekend one way or another.

Sweet, looking forward to it. I have been planning my auction strategy, and everything should work perfectly if you folks just let me have the guys I want at the price I want to pay! Any word from Say Hey?

Alright, a slow draft it is! Details forthcoming. As for Say Hey's team, he was automatically kicked when he forgot to renew. I added a password to the league prevent a stranger from seizing the team; I'd be happy to add him back as a manager if he's renewed / if anyone has his username info!
-
Me too! There's something exciting about opening your web browser and seeing all the different red, yellow and green lines flipping around like a colorful orchestra of wit, will and determination.
-
I enjoy the slow draft.

Maybe we should consider a slow draft through Couch Managers (or whatever). Might be easier to navigate.

Just spoke with Say Hey. He is returning. Please do not put his team up for grabs.

I did the form. I am unfortunately definitely out March 9 & 10. There's a fair chance that I will also be away March 16 & 17, depending on if my kid advances to "zones" in her sport for that weekend (~5 hrs away), so I left that unavailable. I won't know that until Feb 24-25. Sorry, wish I had more availability and certainty, especially as the new guy.

If we want to try a live draft, I put an availability poll together: https://www.when2meet.com/?23559591-foUdq

Thanks. Team name rebrand is coming. Hired a consultant to do market analysis, and now focusing-grouping some options. Software let me make a round of cuts. Done! Feeling lean and mean.

You certainly can make a free round of cuts - Just send me a message and I'll put them through for you (and welcome!!)
-
Welcome to the league! Are you planning a rebrand of our dearly departed Lt Columbo's team or did we by some twist of fate attract another fan of the 70s crime drama? (And yes you'll get a round of cuts)
-
Hi everyone. I'm taking over Columbos. Looking forward to playing! I think I get a free round of cuts(?), which will be coming soon. Byron Buxton and Brandon Woodruff incoming.......

Additional friendly reminder that today is the Keeper Deadline!!
-
Friendly reminder to renew your teams, if you haven't, yet!!
-
(The draft day update is not real.)
-
(Otherwise I'll mark the team abandoned and open it up to the public for a new owner later this week.)
-
Early Happy New Year, everyone! Just a reminder: we'll need a new owner for the Columbos next season, if any of you have friends or kin interested in picking up a team.
-
Another league I am in is looking for 2 managers. League name is Major League Baseball. League id is 1130. The teams available are Replacement Level and Never Gunnar Give You Up.

A belated congrats to the Vlads! And a reminder that Arbitration has begun - and to let me know if you'll be returning for next year! I think we'll need a replacement team for the Columbos... :(
-
Great season guys!

Wooo! I spent early September writing me off and on based on the daily results. What a thrill! Congrats to the Beets and the Thumbs too. I haven't seen a three horses race go that far in ottoneu. Now it's playoffs baseball!
-
Congratulations, Ainβt Half Vlad! π
-
Congrats on the win Vlad, well done. Thanks to the Commish for running the show again.
-
Huge win! I'll take some credit and also apologize to the league for what turned out to be an awful trade! McClanahan and Severino, neither of which I'll hold on to for Freddie Freeman. Oof!
And congrats!
-
Congrats, Vlad! Not too long ago, Iβd written you off. Nice come-from-behind win!

A couple of teams out there might be a pitcher or two short of a valid roster, as provided under:

30 days and 10 p/ip later, I think I'll keep Graveman for $4. Ha
