It’s where the Team $$ tab is. On mobile it’s down in the 3rd area I think? On computer it’s on the right. Should see 11 team names and a red “Join” at the bottom of those names.
-
I can’t find the join league button.
-
Woot woot!!!!!
We're only missing one team to sign up.
-
Can I get a Woot Woot
-
Looks like to set up the draft on Couch Managers (the keepers), teams need to join first so I can assign the keepers. So if you all want to get ready for the draft coming up, head on over to CM and join our league auction (Click Join Team on the right). PW is just "Erebor"

Setting the draft date for Saturday, March 19 to start our Couch Managers slow auction. Planning to use the same time frames we used last year as far as an increased bid resetting the time. Pretty sure we did 2 nominations and 12 hour resets up until a certain point. Then we expanded to speed things up to 3 noms and still 12 hour?
-
Am I ever pumped!!!! Didn't think we would get here the way things were going!
-
Soooooo, we are drafting tomorrow right? Lol
-
Sounds like we're on!!

I'm ok with either, but would prefer to wait until the CBA is signed. I'm most concerned about the FA's on the board where home park(Coors vs PNC) could make a difference in rankings/$value, so as much time as I as I can get is my only thought process.
-
I’m good with whatever! First slow draft therefore not familiar with it. Was expecting once or if a deal is finalized, a draft date would be set closer to opening day (so I’m not drafting pitchers who blow out their elbow during bullpen sessions lol)
-
I’m for March 1st. Are there that many short stops we would roster in this league that are going to lose jobs based on where Story signs?
-
I also think we should wait until the CBA has been signed. There's going to be at least 3-4 weeks of spring training to get the arms where they need to be to be healthy. We're going to have plenty of time to draft. At this rate, Who knows when the MLB and MLBPA will sign and agreement. It's best to wait.
-
I see no reason to rush the draft just to draft. I would prefer waiting on cba and waive of FA to sign. We will have plenty of time to draft. Initial draft didn’t take 10 days and this will be shorter.

I agree with Legends. March 1 is reasonable and with how many cuts were made it guarantees we will be done by the start of season, whenever it is. It's not like all free agents will magically sign right when new CBA ink dries. There's supposed to be no contact between teams and players, so there could still be plenty that sign after spring training starts. I vote solid deadline to draft March 1 because that gives everyone time to evaluate the available players and their individual situations.
-
I agree with Chico on all accounts

I don't think they'll just go straight into a season without there being some form of spring training. There be arms blowing out left and right (see what I did there? lol). There'll be time to get a draft done once a new CBA is in place.
With that being said, if the majority of teams want to get the draft done early I'll be ready to roll
-
All right gents. We have quite an exciting draft ahead of us. My general assumption is that we are going to use Couch Managers to slow draft again based on schedules. I would like to suggest that we aim for a draft starting March 1st. I know there was talk about waiting for a CBA. But my position would be that everyone is on equal footing with the unsigned FA so we would all kind of know the risks. I just think I’d rather make sure we get the draft done in time for season. Open for discussion!
-
I'm so excited to see all of these cuts. Keep'em coming boys!

A little under 6 hours until cut deadline! Snip snip!
-
Gallo is available if anyone want to swing one more trade before the deadline. Mainly interested in 3b and pitchung
-
Ugh. I've done that twice in the last two days. Yes, CBB is correct. It's Tuesday 11:59. Not Monday. Fine. More time for trades!
-
Isn't keeper deadline Tuesday Feb 15th at 11:59pm? That's what it says on the home page.
-
Just wanted to let you all know I changed my teamname from Chicobrew to this. It's a new day a new team.

Remember that the cut deadline is tomorrow night! I’m hoping for a league full of a random flurry of trades in the final 24 hours!
-
Well, Devers, it was a fun day and a half but I’m afraid the organization has decided to make a change.
-
Welcome aboard
-
Welcome Shane. Happy to have you on board.
-
Hey all. Betts didn't renew, so we do have a new owner. Everyone is officially in and paid up. The Wall Street Betts (name to be changed, I'm sure) will now be managed by Shane. Remember to get your cuts in by the Tuesday deadline! We are finally set for the upcoming season (well...once we draft!).
-
I'm waiting until after we find a new owner
-
Ok just see some teams at or above cap so assuming just late cuts....I get it but pulled trigger tonight.

Yes. And I have a feeler out from balls deep recommendation. So if he accepts then we will be set. Everyone else is paid up.
-
Are we just short 1 owner?

I only rule with an iron fist when necessary. :D So I’m cool waiting for a deal. This might mean everyone will need to be ready to slow draft on the quick if things develop late. But I’m fine waiting as long as we can (not sure how long ottoneu system allows. Hopefully that won’t factor).
-
Oh wow that’s progress then! I’ve been head down at work for way too long.

We should wait to draft until a deal is finalized. There's no way they want to miss/delay many games (if any). We'll have lots of time.
MLB agreed to universal DH today
-
When deal is met no way the skip warning pitchers up. We would have more than a chance to auction. If I remember right it only took a week to 10 days the first time and like someone said this will go faster. As stoked as I am to go I think it’s best to wait as long as possible. Rules could change in this next deal for minor leaguers or even DH in NL which would have major impact.

I had planned to wait until Feb 15 to broach this, but I figured we could start slowdrafting anywhere between March 1 and March 15 and likely be done before season starts. We will have a lot fewer players in the pool this year.
I don’t know that we will have the luxury of waiting until the season is confirmed before drafting. I’d like to. But there’s also a very real chance this isn’t solved until April and then we have too quick a turnaround before games start or something.

I would suggest we wait until the season is a go and FA's sign with teams. I'm guessing things will happen fairly quick after it's announced. I don't think we should draft if the lockout is still in effect.
-
Do we have an idea when we are starting the auction? If we are doing a slow one we should probably start it fairly soon
-
I have someone to fill the spot
-
Well as you probably all saw, Betts didn’t renew and the system automatically booted him. So now waiting isn’t an option and we should try to find an owner. Anyone have leads on a new manager? I think it might be claimable to anyone so if you have someone you wanna ask about, let me know and let’s find a replacement in house if we can!
-
Thanks for having me. I'm ready to get to work. Verrrry bored. Hit me up if you see something on my roster that you like.
-
Welcome Brandon and fellow Canadian :) We're happy to have you and from the looks of things, you will be a great addition to our league. You will enjoy Ottoneu 110%. Cheers!!!
-
Well that was quick! Brandon will be taking over the new team after a hot tip from Balls Deep on a replacement owner. Welcome Brandon!
Hopefully we are good to go moving forward for the year now. Someone just needs to tell MLB to get on the same page as us!
-
I may have someone, he's active and willing to join. Hardcore poolie
-
Definitely. Figured I would give it a few days to try and figure something out internally amongst everyone.
-
Well that was short lived. That's too bad. Will you be advertising in the league message board if we can't find anyone internally?
-
Hey all, we are now looking for a new owner for the Tuscaloosa Moose. He messaged me and had some reserves about playing and said he would rather opt out. No worries there but it does mean that we will want to find a new owner to take over that team and will want to get it done before we (likely) draft in March. Anyone have a line on someone interested?
-
Keeper deadline has been moved back to Feb 15 by Niv, runner of all ottoneu. So you have two extra weeks to make decisions!
