Does a slow draft on Couch Managers starting on Tuesday March 13th not work for anyone? It it's good then that's the plan as of now because no other option would appear to work for everyone.
-
did we get a draft plan figured out yet?

I personally would prefer to start a slow draft more mid march (week of the 11th-17th?) but I can probably make it work whenever.

I don't think we're looking to draft early, just trying to find whatever time would work for everyone's schedules. I think a slow draft through couch managers in mid March is our best bet, even though it definitely isn't my preferred type of draft it is an improvement over some teams having to sit out entirely or have someone proxy draft for them. I'll send out more info over the next few days but are there any weeks in March that people won't be able to participate in a slow draft?
-
Sorry for chiming in late and I don't mean to be argumentative or pejorative, but why draft early? I'm more of a fantasy football person than baseball (not an excuse for my record) but drafting later means you reduce the risk of spring training injuries. Especially since ottoneu gives you zero relief for the guys who rehab and aren't really 100% until May and June is essentially their spring training.

very creative Morristown...but it feels like this would be too far gone from regular draft strategy with all the blind bidding...and very very slow if we had to wait a day per player/position never mind the coordination amongst 12 managers to decide who gets to nominate...better to just slow draft

Alternatively, here’s a crazy idea—just mark the draft done. All free agents are available via the normal in-season free agent process where we put in our bids once nominated. Might want to agree not to nominate more than one player per position at once to give people time to pivot to other options, but realistically through cuts and reauctions it would probably work itself out.
-
Same here - I’ve never done a slow draft but would definitely be up for giving it a try.

I've never done a slow draft but given the situation, whatever you decide Commish, I'll make work.

I prefer slow drafts in general, but def for a situation like this.
-
If I'm the one holding up a certain day let me know. I'd rather not slow draft.
-
if the choice for me is between a date I can't make or a slow draft, I'd definitely prefer a slow draft

Auction times update: we are still having real trouble converging on a single date that works for everyone. The best time appears to be 3/10 in the afternoon but even that isn't a great spot and we'd be down several teams. Are people open to doing a slow draft via couch managers instead? The auction would then take place over several days / week in early to mid March and people could bid at any points throughout the day.
-
I've updated the form to send you a copy of your responses when you submit (thought I'd done that originally but oh well)
-
Do you have a link to the results? Can't remember what I put for 3/3 and 3/10
-
Thanks everyone who's filled out the auction times survey. It looks like we are going to need to change the auction from the current date on March 2nd. We don't have a consensus time that works for everyone. The 2 front runners that only have 1 person who can't attend are: 3/10 in the afternoon or 3/3 in the afternoon / evening. Please let me know if anything has changed and you can now attend those dates. Also, I am adding dates for late Feb / weekdays to the poll so please refill it out.
-
Hey commish, I just now filled out the form as I was waiting to get some plans firmed up. March 2nd doesn’t work for me, that’s my daughter’s birthday and I’m spending the day with her. Does any other day work for the group?

Thank you to those of you who have filled out the auction poll so far, right now Saturday March 2nd in the afternoon looks like the best time so I have tentatively scheduled our auction for then. Please let me know as soon as possible if that does not work for you and continue to fill out the poll
-
Hey all, as promised here's a poll for us to find auction times for next year. Please go through the following form and fill in all the options that work for you - using google forms this year because Doodle has paywalled a bunch of stuff. https://forms.gle/wfJWsR9CiC4EVx7bA
-
As a reminder, the ottoneu renewal and roster deadlines are coming up on 1/31 so make sure you make your cuts, last minute trades, and pay to renew your team by then! I'll be sending out a poll with potential auction dates later this week as well.
-
Hey all. 10 days until the keeper and renewal deadline so make sure you pay your league fees and get those last minute trades in. As a reminder after 1/31 rosters freeze until after the auction - which I'll be sending a doodle on in a little while so we can get that scheduled.
-
Welcome, Bubble Guppies!
-
Hey guys, disregard that deal, it was accidentally accepted so I commish canceled it
-
Bubble Guppies - formerly AKA Big Papi - has a new owner. Welcome to the league!
-
Happy New Years to everyone! AKA Big Papi's team has no current owner so if you know of anyone who's interested in taking over please let me know. If no one reaches out by the end of the weekend I'll mark the team as abandoned and make it open for the world to have a new owner come in. In other new manager news, Jays of Our Lives has a new manager as the previous one had some life commitments get in the way so join in me in welcoming Cutter to the league!
-
Please abandon my team

Congrats to the Rangers for winning the World Series even though it means no more baseball games for months. As a reminder arbitration ends on Tuesday 11/14 so make sure you've spent all your cash by then.
-
Hey all. I hope we're all enjoying these MLB playoffs. Arbitration begins today and ends on Tuesday, November 14th so let's make sure we make everyone else's keeper decisions more difficult.
-
Congratulations to the commissioner, Musial, and Goldie on strong seasons. Hope everyone comes back for next year. It's a fun and competitive league.

Understood, Thorpe and Caissie have been added back to your team at the salary you won them at
-
I don’t think rosters lock for cuts until 1/31. I just cut Boyle and Assad, who I had queued up as cuts in case I won any of the late auctions. Thanks!
-
My understanding is that rosters locked at midnight Eastern. If you can make cuts today that will make your roster legal I will add the removed players back
-
Well done Commish - nice win and to The Musial Suspects for a great run right to the end. Thanks Morristown Frackers for the back and forth - I gotta a little lucky on the last day but the race made for a lot of fun right to the end. Thanks to everyone in the league for inviting me in this year - really enjoyed the format!
-
“Just a reminder though that every team needs to have a legal roster at midnight Eastern or I'll reverse the adds that made the team illegal.”
I had no idea we needed to be legal by midnight, the rules just state that auctions had to end by midnight. I was in bed at 10:30pm ET last night, before the reminder was even sent and before the last auctions ended. Can we reverse the commish cuts to allow a typical reasonable amount of time to get legal?
-
Congrats on the big win, Ethan, nicely done! And congrats to Goldie on claiming third place on the last day of the season! Well played right down to the wire! Thanks all for another fun year!
-
Congrats Commish on the league title…after a couple close calls you finally took it down. Great season overall.
-
Hey all! We've hit the end of the year and we had a great title race, great job Musial pushing me to the end! Just a reminder though that every team needs to have a legal roster at midnight Eastern or I'll reverse the adds that made the team illegal. See you all in arbitration and let's enjoy watching the playoffs!
-
Sorry guys, I should have checked to see who I was helping before I clicked ‘Start Auction’…but I really need a healthy OF…

Damn, commish should have been more on top of making sure rosters were league. He dropped the ball there.
-
Boo, who auctioned Yelich? I was looking forward to seeing Musial’s cut since he’s been $12 over cap since Sunday morning.
-
Surprise, surprise, we’re looking for a shortstop. We’ll consider any and all offers.
-
Looking forward to it.
-
I'm itching to get going on the auction and the season...see you guys in the draft room tomorrow.
-
Hey guys! Auction is tomorrow at 8PM EDT, looking forward to kicking off the new season and I’ll see you all there.

Hey all, just claimed the available team and paid up. Might make a few cuts, otherwise ready to draft (and that time/date works for me!)
