We have a few owners who have not yet done arbitration- if you haven't, worry not because there's still time! 8 days to be precise.
If anyone is planning to leave the league/not renew their team, please give me some fair warning. I am not going to pester everyone through the holiday season over league ownership, but expect an ottoneu dm or two if the pace of your managerial duties slips.
Also, I would be 100% cool to have someone else take over as LC.

The Fall Classic is all wrapped up, and now the nation turns its eyes to The Summer Classic. As we enter real-life baseball's hot-stove season, I hope everyone keeps at least a peripferal eye on how their roster is changing in fantasy and real life! makes it a lot of fun when everyone has all the information out there.
-
Well done! We are almost all caught up on arbitration allocation. 2 weeks left for the remaining four. Don't wait too long, folks! Rotographs has had some articles the last couple weeks about Ottoneu arb srtategy if anyone wants to check them out.
-
World Series set! D-backs and Rangers, just like we all thought it would be!
There is plenty of time, but fwiw this league's arbitration participation is the lowest of any I am in; there is always plenty of time until there isn't! Anyway enjoy the Fall Classic and maybe some otto sixpicks. If you are like me, football offers no hope for entertainment this year, and probably not hoops either, so draft season can't come soon enough..

Hello everyone. I I am really not considering remaining the commissioner, unless it is by default.
That being said, consider this the first “pay your league fee and don’t forget to do your allocations/inflations” post.
Thank you for piloting the ship so far, Drunk Mike

Rockout is going to take over as interim commish while you guys figure it out. Best of luck to you all and thank you!

Joe Buck- Congratulations on a dominant season!
-
Well I think it is safe to say Joe Buck will claim the title. Congratulations!
In other news, unfortunately, both of our lives have gotten a little to crazy to continue to run this league. We are sad to step away, but have enjoyed doing this with you all over the past few seasons. For the league to continue, a new commish will have to be put in place. Would anyone be interested? If so, we can hand the power over next week when the season finishes.

Dodgers was refunded his cap penalty for Espinoza because he did not draft him on couch managers. Just for transparency

Thank you!

You did. I swapped them out

Can you doublecheck mine? I may have messed something up, but I thought I drafted Endy from the Pirates.

With one team finishing up, one team saying they are done, and another team that is filling up via FA, I will be processing results this afternoon. I will make a post when I do. FA noms will then open up.

Noms have been upped so everyone can finish. I will be ending the auction tomorrow around this time (as long as everyone is done) and uploading. Thank you all!

From draft chat: It looks like it is mostly dollar guys right now. I am going to up the noms up even more at noonish to try to get Vladdy finished over night. That will allow me to submit stuff in the morning
-
I will be upping the number to 6 per team now that 2 more teams are done!
-
Posted this on the draft site, but just so everyone sees it: There are 8 teams left. I have upped the noms to 5 per team and a max of 40 players up at once. Keep up the good work!
-
I said this on the site chat, but if you have any questions at all, please reach out.
-
For those of you who have never done this, if you bid on a player, and the name doesn't change and it's yellow, that means that there is a higher silent bid.
-
We are under way! Please nominate as soon as you can. Good luck!
-
Let's Do This! Ready to spend some fake money.

Happy draft start day! I’m getting ready to head to work. I will start the draft when I get there. Probably 7:45ish.
-
If you are on your phone I am not sure how you do it. Computer it's just grab and move
-
When I go to edit my roster, it won’t let me do anything.
-
Heads up: Couch Managers has had some issues with people getting on the site tonight. If it happens tomorrow, you can get in by hitting "advance" and then proceed to site. You'll see what I mean if it happens again tomorrow

Since you are not required to use all of your noms at once (I suggest you do) I will not wait until everyone has nominated. There will be no pauses when the draft begins. I will post on here when I hit start.
One last reminder: on the auction site, MILB players will go in any slot. It is your responsibility to edit your roster and make sure they are not out of position. All regular major league players will be fine.
If you have ANY questions, please ask tonight

(1/2) WE HAVE A START TIME!
Thank you all for your patients this week. I am happy to announce that we will begin the auction tomorrow morning around 7:30am EST (I get to work around then)
Per Ottoneu policy, Bat Flips is unable to be refunded, as it is after the keeper/payment date (site policy). He has decided to stay in the league, and has joined the draft. I have uploaded his roster, and everything should be good. I ask that you all give your roster one more look on
-
didn't realize this was a slow auction. Never done that. If you can get me refund that would be appreciated as I've had some personal issues. Otherwise sorry to hold this up.
-
sorry guys. I've been only checking my login page to see when draft was scheduled for but I just assumed you hadn't set it yet. Sounds like you're looking now at tomorrow March 6 now? Works for me
-
Update: I still have nothing from bat flips. He’s been checking the site, but isn’t joining or responding. Not sure what’s up, but again, hope he’s okay.
I’m gonna look into if he can get a refund today. We have all already paid, so that makes this a little more tricky. I appreciate everyone’s patience. Hopefully we can start tomorrow.
-
First of all, Bat flips I hope you are good.
Second of all, it’s looking like we are going to have to wait till Sunday or Monday. Hopefully he joins tomorrow. Tough spot cause he’s been on the site according to his team page.
-
Yeah for sure hope he's okay. According to the site, he was active yesterday.
-
Is he still playing? Hope everything is well on his end. I know life gets in the way sometimes.
-
Unfortunately, Bat Flips has not joined the auction yet. I am unable to start the auction until that happens. We will have to postpone until hopefully tomorrow. I will send out start time later.
-
We are gonna run into an issue starting tomorrow if Bat Flips does not join. We may have to hold off until Saturday. I can’t upload his team until he joins.
-
I'm using laptop and phone but my queue guys aren't saving from the laptop to phone it that typical.?
-
Okay. We will plan on the draft starting at 7-7:30 (depending on when I get to work). I am hoping Bat Flips joins soon. If not, I am going to try to find a way to import his team without him joining.
Bat flips, here is the link again: https://www.couchmanagers.com/auctions/?auction_id=468
-
Yeah that should work
-
Correct. Always the person who nominated
-
Once the auction for a player is complete, is the person that nominated them immediately prompted to nominate another player?

Bat Flips has to join before we can do anything. I can start it earlier than 8:30 if everyone wants. Does 7-7:30 work?
-
Can we put them in tonight? Good chance I'll busy at work around 8:30. If not I'll do it asap.
-
And that's 8:30 AM
-
Ideally, we start tomorrow at 8:30. I will put in here when I hit begin. Once everyone nominates, it is full go. Remember, the minor league players will go anywhere, just when I imported the teams.
Does anyone have any questions?
-
Still waiting on Bat Flips to join. Here is how this will work:
Each team can nominate 3 players at a time. You need to nominate all three
The clock is 12 hours. There will be NO OVERNIGHT STOPPAGE once everyone has used all three nominations
Here is just an example.
I nominate Barry Bonds. His clock is at 12 hours. 2 hours later, Dodgers bids on him and has the highest bid. The clock will reset to 12 hours. Once a player is not bid up for 12 hours, the te
