Dang, quick first trade after the arb deadline passed! Good to see the action has started early.

Also, if anyone can ping 7th Inning Streakers outside of Ottoneu and see if he can get his arb done before midnight tomorrow, it would be greatly appreciated. I'd bug him but I've already tried DMing him here to no avail. Thanks!

Hey Everyone, I'm Jim and I took over WAMCO Geckos. I've got some Ottoneu experience, but this is my first time taking over a new team, rather than starting from scratch. With arbitration wrapping up tomorrow, I just want to put it out there that everyone on my team is available.
-
Hey y'all, just about a week away from our Arbitration deadline. Most are done already, but be aware that you can still make alterations to your allocations until the deadline, in case you've changed your mind about some decisions. Once that wraps up, offseason trading goes live!

Not to swipe potential owners when we are short one here maybe, but if anyone is interested in joining another ottoneu league I commish, it’s a $50 h2h league. Message me if interested-after we are all set here ;)
-
If WAMCO's team is still available, I have a potential taker.

Sorry, I meant send me their Ottoneu username, if they have one. Otherwise, have them create an account and then let me know their username!

Congrats, Duran Duran. Mentioned to Geckos, but I have an old colleague who is interested in taking up the team. Big time Red Sox fan living in the South. The Chris Sale trade has been tough on him
-
Cheers guys! Another fun year. Looking forward to arbitration and the draft.
Farewell Jason! Sorry to see you go but very understandable. The Geckos had some good years.

In any case, I will definitely miss Ottoneu (particularly Auction Day) and battling wits with you all. It's been a really fun run. But before I go, one HUGE question that I hope DG will enlighten me on: What is with all of the grabbing and then minutes later waiving players, my friend?!? You're no doubt playing 5D chess of some sort, but I'm absolutely stumped... DM me, if you don't want to divulge your secrets here! All the best in the future everyone -- and look me up if ever in London! Jason
-
It's been a blast... but there inevitably comes the right time to leave the Party (Deck). As my kids (now 7 and almost 4) get older, I've been struggling with the fact that the only way I know how to fantasy baseball involves dedicating far too much time to it. So that's it: I'm officially retiring. (The fact the Jays have been so woeful hasn't helped -- their beyond-disappointing 2024 managed to alienate me from the sport I've loved for four decades!!!).
-
With arbitration coming up in a couple of weeks, rosters will be locked until it's all wrapped up. If anyone has questions on the arb process, let me know!

I know there's still that double-header to happen, but I'm prepared to go on a limb and congratulate Duran Duran, Legends and Streakers... I still don't understand how your team finished so far ahead of everyone, Matt... but what a season you've had. Not bad at all for an Aussie who's only been REALLY into baseball for a few years. I'll toast you (and maybe the Mets as well -- we shall see) later on!

Hey Party Deck People!
Random Question: Does anyone want in on an Ottoneu basketball league? We had a slot open up in the league I commission. $20 league plus a $30 buy-in. DM me if you're interested.

Welcome to MLB, Yoshinobu Yamamoto!!! OUCH.

Looking to deal SP depth for bats, if anyone has interest.

Definitely a DEEP sleeper...

And I paid $4 for him lol

You MUST be only Ottoneu team to ever own him!!!

Daniel Espinoza's career stats are pretty special: 14.90 ERA and 3.52 WHIP in the DSL. (24 walks in 9.2 IP!!!) https://www.milb.com/player/daniel-espinoza-698970
-
I have 41 players. Looks like I have Daniel Espino SP and Daniel Espinoza UT. I should only have Espino SP
-
Sorry for the delay everyone, new job had me spinning and then I went down with vertigo again for a couple days. Everyone should have complete rosters, and we can commence with trades/drops/auctions tomorrow!

Thanks again for being flexible and agreeing to do this. I hope it was more streamlined than folks expected at the outset.

Hey all! Rosters will be uploaded here tomorrow afternoon, at which point I’ll have everyone crosscheck their rosters with what we have on Couch Managers. After any import errors are corrected, folks will be able to make drops and start auctions on free agents!

Shit, you're right. I misremembered and thought I knew the rule.

For transparency, the money available *on Couch Managers* for each of the affected managers is:
Detroit Mashers - $395
Duran Duran (Duran) - $394
Diamond Girl - $378
I will also be deleting the 60-day IL players from their teams, meaning they will reenter the draft pool. Please do not nominate any of the following players:
Shane McClanahan, Felix Bautista, Jasson Dominguez, Drew Rasmussen

I thought on regular ottoneu auctions you can’t go above 40 until after the draft either? I’m pretty sure I saw Niv comment in forums that he did that so people couldn’t stockpile until post draft.
-
Since you cannot assign more money to players once they are auctioned off, I am asking each of these individual managers to use the honor system and only bid as much money as they *actually* have available in Ottoneu. I will be DM'ing each of them with more details.

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT:
It has been brought to my attention that some teams have more than 40 roster slots due to team members being on the 60-day IL.
There is no clean way to remedy this in Couch Managers, so I am removing players on the 60-day IL from those teams in Couch Managers.
Affected teams include: Duran Duran (Duran), Diamond Girl, and Detroit Mashers.

Highlighted green means they're logged in and looking at the page. I tend to leave my tab open even when I'm not at the computer, though, so I would guess I'm almost always green.

Slow auction is off to an exciting start…
Does anyone know what it means when teams are highlighted green on the draft home screen?

Alright, folks. It's time! Everyone can start nominating players over in the Couch Managers draft room! Please let me know if there are any issues moving forward.
Once again, clocks will stop overnight, so do not fret if you can't get to the draft room right away in the morning/right before bed. You should have ample time to respond to the bids of other managers.

Thanks for tackling those questions, Arthur. I appreciate it.
I plan to start the slow auction on Friday afternoon after I'm out of my temp job (around 3:00 pm CST). At that point, all managers can nominate 3 players, meaning we will have 36 players on the board to scrap over at once.
I will also be putting a pause on the clocks overnight, so if you can't check right before bed/after you wake up you shouldn't miss out on anyone.
Looking forward to getting t

Hey everyone, a bit late, but I'm Mike from Detroit. Detroit has seen a ton of investment in the past 15 years and I'd say, it is well on its way to being a great midwestern city. When we hosted the SB in 2006, I'd say 33% of the buildings (15-50 floor types) were shuttered to make the downtown more walkable. Fake facades were put in place, it was the opposite of good and prideful. Today, just a guess, but empty building is maybe 5% of stock... perhaps 2%. Anyhow, I'm in the...
-
Multiple players will auction at once which is definitely different. It's incredibly clear what the current bids will be, though, so you can plan a little based on time left and who all is up for auction as far as "strategy" goes. I can try to answer any other specific questions anyone might have on the board or in messages. I run these for another league the last couple years, so I've encountered most questions from my own league.
-
I can say from past experience that it's pretty easy after the start. Clock resets to 12 hours with every new person that gets a high bid. So if I bid $10 to take control of Mike Trout and then set my max bid at $20, every time someone else bids 11, 14, 18, 20....it won't reset the timer (but it will up my bid to their bid). Once someone bids $21 and gains control of the player, the clock will reset to 12 hours. Timer hits 0, high bidder wins the player.
-
Heya folks, so the draft starts in a few days (hip hip hooray) but I'm feeling a little uncertain about how this will go down. Can we start a chat about what to expect and the general rules?
-
Oh, and I know like nothing about FC stuff other than thinking that maybe the Athletics or Guardians franchises should be relegated to AAA for their lack of spending/effort. :D

Wild how diverse our interests and lives are (blueberry nursery!?) and baseball brings us right together. I'm Arthur. I've been in Party Deck since year 1. I teach high school in Illinois in the Quad Cities (aka not close to Chicago). I have a 4 and 2 year old who are mostly turning into Braves fans like me (TBS youth) despite my wife and her family being big Cubs fans. Love Shohei and Trout, too. Mildly hope my daughter doesn't want competitively dance.

Oh and Adam! To further emphasize my funny sports allegiances I have a Phillies hat that I wear proudly.
