Alright we'll kick off the draft in the morning. 8 hour pick times - i think that's what we've used. NFL Draft style, if you miss your pick, we'll move on, you just put it in next time you get a chance. Picks will proceed in a snake order until rosters are full. Not everyone has the same amount of spots. There will be a sheet on the MiLB rosters with the full rundown. Here's the draft order w/ number of picks.
-
T-minus 9 hours everyone! See you all tonight
-
Hey, all. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but I've decided to dominate the league this year. I'm even preparing for the draft.
-
I haven't heard anything about conflicts from anyone, so we're going to go with Thursday at 9:00 PM ET as our draft date. Excited to get the season underway!
-
Okay, I’ve set the draft date for 9:00 ET on Thursday March 31st. Please reach out to me if you have a serious conflict with the start time. Flexibility is key here, I’ve already drafted in two leagues where somebody quit halfway through because of draft conflicts lol. Let me know and thanks
-
Sorry guys, I’ve been real busy this week. I’m going to set a placeholder tomorrow morning on Thursday March 31st. I think I’ve reached out to everyone regarding the date at least, we might need to just dial in the time. I’ll set it at 9 PM ET initially because I know we had one person who absolutely couldn’t do it before then. Please sound off if that date or time doesn’t work - potentially April 3rd is a date too.
-
Did we ever decide on a date? We're flexible to get the draft in.
-
I'm not sure what I put down, I can do Mar. 31, but not until 7pm ET at the earliest
-
No slow draft for me, I’m in one now and let’s just say I’m not a fan. Live draft for me.
-
March 31st at 8 works for the defending back to back champions. I prefer the excitement of a live draft.
-
March 31st works for me! I'm open to the slow draft, but not sure how that works. We just open up to starting auctions on all players? Anyway, I hope people can accommodate the 31st...
-
The other alternative, which has been mentioned, is a slow draft. That takes some time, but is more doable if we really can't all get together/find proxies. I'd much rather do the Ottoneu auction, but that is something to keep in mind.
-
We've still got one owner to fill out the auction calendar, but we're already past the point where there's an obvious time. The best looking date is Thursday March 31st starting from somewhere around 6 PM ET-8 PM ET. I'll ask the people who's schedule conflicts to see if they can re-examine. The 8PM ET start time on the 31st is the least conflicting time of them all, with only two owners who can't make it. I'll reach out to them directly.
-
Being a points league we could draft after opening day, I am totally booked on the 26,27, 1,2,3 with 3 drafts 2 hours apart on the 3rd.
-
I also updated my response as I am no longer available on the 27th. Thanks Luke- know this is not easy to get everyone on same page.

Thanks, Luke. I had to update my response to remove my availability for the Sunday of that weekend (Apr 3) due to another league now targeting that date. I'll continue to be as flexible as I can and update my response as things happen...
-
I am available on the weekends at night or during the week
-
3 more owners to fill it out. Right now, the most promising looks like the weekend before the season. I’m going to preach flexibility from everyone, it’s hard to get everyone in the same place at the same time
-
How are we going on a draft date?
-
Apologies, try this one:

This WhenIsGood link didn't work for me. Others have troubles?
-
Alright y'all. Please fill out this auction so we can get a start on the season. Note that the times shown are proposed start times. I think last year's draft went about 2.5 hours? Just keep that in mind. The MiLB draft will be held via slow draft on the league message board starting the day after the auction.
http://whenisgood.net/edf3572
-
So, all prospects not currently owned (except Int'l signees from this year) will be eligible for auction in the standard auction; prospects left over will be eligible for the MiLB draft
-
No the MiLB draft will be held after the auction. The 2020 Summer draft was delayed until February 2021, prior to the auction, but that was because the MLB Draft was delayed along with the 2020 season and the draftees hadn't had the chances to be added to MiLB teams yet. All prospects have had MiLB draft eligibility at least once, with the exception of January 2022 Int'l signees.
-
Luke, we’re doing the MiLB draft first, right?
-
Woot woot! That happened quicker than I expected. Let’s suss out when the season’s going to start over the next few days and then I’ll send out a poll next week so we can schedule our auction. A great day in baseball history (maybe)!
-
Looks like we're going to have baseball! Looking forward to getting our drafts scheduled!
-
Please cut Maximo Acosta, Angel Martinez, Slade Cecconi, Mason Winn, Ezequiel Tovar, and Rece Hinds. Sorry for the delay.
-
Sorry for the delay. I'll drop Hunter Bishop, Austin Wells, Wilderd Patino, and Jeremy de la Rosa. Thanks!
-
LD is dropping Mason Martin from the MilB roster.
-
Just a reminder to Dreadnought, Liberty Village and Leather Daddies to get their MiLB cuts in - just one each is necessary
-
Mo Vaughn's Belly is dropping Erick Pena, Alexander Canario, Canaan Smith-Njigba, and Ed Howard from their MiLB roster
-
Charming Cads has Dropped Alefri Planez and Nick Bitsko from their MiLB roster
-
I'll cut Jordyn Adams, Luis Toribio, Brennan Malone, Clayton Beeter, Bo Naylor from my MiLB roster

Sounds good. I know we're prob not at the stage of picking a specific date/time, but I did like doing it on a Sunday night last year

Hey everyone, I'm looking to set the draft date for after the lockout is over, preferably about a week or two before the season starts, just to let everything in the market settle as well. Let me know what y'all are thinking. It's hard work getting all 12 people together, so I'll preach flexibility again
-
My bad. Wrong league. I’m fine with ottoneu draft room and also agree with nomination enforcement.

We'd second that it should be strictly enforced. One miss is fine, but then there should be a lockout. Especially at the end of the draft, there's a massive competitive advantage in missing noms. Also we'd be against using coachmanagers for the draft. Ottoneu's auctions are great.

Thanks for bringing this up, Paul. I agree 100% that we should enforce the rule that you must nominate someone. We can of course have some lenience. But in competitive leagues, I have seen it be a problem.

Yeah, I think the default is requiring nominations from every owner in turn and I will unlock them if they miss a nom on accident
-
It was rough. I had to rush back from Vail and had a difficult time focusing. Plus, every bottle of beer I had ejaculated all over the place upon being opened. Things are gonna be different this year. You're all on notice.

I'm ok if someone steps away for a minute or two, it 's the people with lots of cash to burn coming in late and having an advantage.
-
I think you’re thinking another league Josh. We were contemplating it but we did just the normal auction for the Ottoneu roster and then a slow draft on the league message board for the MiLB. I think we’re pretty lenient on if it locks someone out (just accidental step aways usually). But I’m always open to process suggestions
-
how does that work?
-
I believe we did a slow auction on couchmanagers, right?

Not being part of the auction last year, what is the practice in this league? Commish tools:if you want the auction draft software to require every team to nominate on its turn. If this box is checked and a team misses its nomination window, that team will be locked out of the auction draft. Good for highly competitive leagues
-
With MLB opioid use in the headlines, today would be a good day to announce some progress in lockout talks.
