Leifer, looks like we're in good shape. Next steps?? Really appreciate all your help here.
-
Looks like it's Undertones that's left, I've shot a direct message over, hopefully he'll pick it up there?
-
Just one team left, and then I can get rosters imported to couchmanagers.com.
-
Still two teams to join slow draft
-
Thanks to everyone that has already joined the action, just two left!
I am proposing that we start the slow auction on March 6th at noon EST. That should give us plenty of time to get it done while leaving enough time for the 5MiLB draft as well.
-
Thanks for the help here, Leif...really appreciate it!
-
Right now I have the auction settings at 2 nominations per team, 12 hour time limit and 10 hour extensions. I believe there are fairly standard settings but I would be happy to change things if there is a consensus that there are better options. After the first few days/rounds I can increase the number of nominations.
The other thing that we have to decide upon is a start date. Some time in early to mid March makes sense to me, but I am open to suggestions.
-
All right, I have set up the slow auction here: https://www.couchmanagers.com/auctions/?auction_id=396
Password is Auction
Please join the auction as soon as practical and edit your team to something at least close to your actual team name so that I can import keepers.
-
Slow draft it is! Leif has volunteered to help with logistics (as I've never set one up) which is helpful. More to come soon!
Also, a link to our MiLB rosters: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1UFOI-ytJjOfDXM2xMhPmsGM0q5XtwdbFbg_QIgHTrr8/edit?usp=sharing

Same- slow draft is preferred, but am good with the consensus.
-
i like the slow draft for this type of league...

The slow draft works better for me too, and I can make it work either way, depending on the day…
-
I’m ok either way
-
Very much prefer the slow draft!
-
I would also prefer a slow draft.
-
Noted. If a majority of the field prefers a slow draft, we can do that too (I'm truly indifferent). I'll let those peeps sound off.
-
If I am in the minority I will shut up but personally I’d prefer doing a slow draft, as in previous seasons

Hey folks, let's talk draft date. I've created a Doodle you can see here: https://doodle.com/meeting/participate/id/b46KQZ7e, please update as soon as you can.
-
It's FINAL CUT DAY! Make it happen!
-
To answer your other question, yes, we'll have a separate draft after the regular draft for the 5 MiLB. As it sits (and with removing Busch) you'll currently have 3 picks that you can make on MiLB'ers that are left in the pool. You can choose to promote your other two MiLB'ers to either sit on your roster or cut before the draft. You can basically promote prospects at any time, but you're for sure supposed to promote once players debut. That, unfortunately, wasn't happening last season.
-
Hey Bot, so unfortunately it looks like he was one of the guys that never got removed from the 5 MiLB originally. I'd acquired Busch last year, and have since traded him to Papi. I'm simply going to remove him from your 5 MiLB. Apologies on any confusion there.
-
I haven't done the MiLB process yet- do we have a separate draft? And players don't have to be promoted until they have a MLB PA/IP? Also, I have Michael Busch on my MiLB list, but he's also on Big Papi's roster...
-
Still two teams that haven't re-upped...a couple of more days for that, and cuts.
-
LOVE that Bachman roster percentage! Grayson and Mead promoted.
-
please promote rodriguez and mead from my MiLB

I've promoted all three to your active rosters. Rising Bound you can now cut Bachman.
-
I would please like to cut Bachman from my milb roster.

Just two more owners to re-up for this season. Hope all is well!
-
Hey Papi, just looking at this and actually those prospects are currently owned by Jim who took over Yari's squad (Oakland AAA's). Yours are from the squad you took on (Red 5). I'll update the 5 MiLB list to make sure it reflects your team names properly now.
-
Please promote G.ROD, Espino, Abel and Mead
-
Promoted!
-
Please promote Brennan Davis and Jordan Groshans from my 5MiLB. Thanks.
-
Promoted. Still a handful of peeps that need to re-up before the cut deadline on 1/31.
-
Please promote Luis Matos from my 5MiLB as well.
-
As you can see there's a 2/1 date for the draft, I'm going to push a date out there...if it works magically, great. But we need to start having that conversation. I'll probably set something up so we can align on a date.
-
And we're full! Jim, welcome to the league, happy to have you aboard! Still a handful of peeps that need to pay within the next couple of weeks.
-
I've abandoned Yari's team...a reminder on the 1/31 deadline.
-
I have adjusted the 5 MiLB doc. Please take a look and let me know if it reflects your squad properly. I'm sure I missed something (many things?!), so just give me a heads up. Also, if you haven't renewed, make sure to do so before 1/31.
-
Leif, I've promoted Cowser and Mauricio, also moved Marte onto your 5 MiLB to complete the trade with RBY from last year.
-
Please promote Colton Cowser and Ronny Mauricio from my 5MiLB.
-
Alright folks, I heard back from our fearless leader...and unfortunately he won't be back for this upcoming season. He will be missed! That said, he did grant me access to the Google Doc, so I'll move forward with cleaning things up there.
Anyone know anyone that might want to fill his spot?
-
Thanks for the welcome guys. Trade block has been updated
-
Now that we're all here, I seem to recall a vote that took place last year about whether or not we set a draft date, or if we do another slow draft. I'm open to just about whatever, but can't find the info on it (and I can barely remember what I ate for lunch yesterday). Anyone recall, firmly what we were doing?
-
Welcome!
-
Changed team name and paid up, happy to join
-
Welcome to the league, Papi! Happy to have you on board!
-
Hey everyone. I gave the commishes a heads up at the end of the season that I won't be returning for 2023. I stuck around for arbitration, but will fade to the background for the off-season until a new owner takes over. Didn't want anyone to think I was ghosting trade offers or messages that may be sent.
-
It looks like all arb is complete, thanks everyone! Reset those trade blocks, get ready for that 1/31 cut date.
