Kekambas needed that .73 win in the worst way

Late seeing this, but glad the issue worked itself out.

Sorry, I take that back. Kershaw was starting today, and when I refreshed, it didn't show the green check and it threw me off. I'm an idiot. Ignore.
-
It happened to me again. I'm 99% sure I had Severino in, and no other starters in, and he's on my bench. No impact on my match this week, as Windy is rolling through everyone. But keep your eyes out if there's something wonky with the system.
-
Somehow Eovaldi got pulled out of my lineup yesterday and I didn't notice until it was too late, and now I'm pretty sure that's going to be the difference maker in me losing my matchup this week. Dammit.
-
If you saw a rejected trade from me, I am working on counters. I hope to have them done today. If your trade is still sitting there, I am trying to identify what to do next.
-
That should say 'my problem is at outfield. '
-
Hey man, no problem at all. Start of the season is difficult to evaluate.
-
I am going to be reviewing all trades over the next couple of days. Please allow some patience. I am realizing that my pitching staff is absolute trash, so expect some counters in that area lol.
-
Thanks - I’ve added ABLA Kekambas and Crazy Birds as co-commishes for tonight

Pretty sure we'll have to take a break or two to put a team back on that missed its nomination. Might very well be me.
-
I'll be sliding in with a couple of minuets to spare as I get out of work at 8:30. Should be home by 8:50ish.
-
Me too if you need a backup or the other team decides no.

Havent done so yet but shouldnt be too hard if need be

Happy draft day everyone! Would anyone be willing to help with commish duties for the draft tonight? I think this would just involve starting the auction, and pausing it if any issues arise. I’ve had something unexpected come up, and while I think I’ll still be able to make it to the draft, I’ll be drafting on mobile (and may be a couple mins late).

Welcome.

Welcome!

Hi all! First time playing Ottoneu but have played fantasy baseball for years. Giants, Mariners, and Twins fan. My cuts -- and a full team rebrand -- to come sometime this week. Looking forward to this season!

Great....I've been monitoring the Slack group but I swear I've not seen ANY H2H openings so this might be good.

I posted on the Managers Wanted community forum, and am planning on doing the same in the Ottoneu slack group. And yes, if anyone has any leads please let me know! But I've typically had success posting in those spots for new managers.

There's been a lot of activity on the Managers Wanted Community page so I'm sure we could get someone there if we didn't want to put the team on the Claim a Team page. Or let us know if you want us to do some recruiting.
-
He’s not coming back. Talked to him a bit ago. I thought he had messaged the commish.
-
I've messaged him to see if he's coming back. But he's been unresponsive to my messages since November, and didn't complete arbitration or cuts.

I see that he visited the site yesterday. Should we be asking around yet?

No replacement for Learning Curve yet.

20th sounds good
-
Do we have a replacement for Learning Curve?
-
It looks like earlier on the 19th doesn't work for some people - I'll set it for the 20th for now. If I'm recalling correctly, the draft last year took ~3 hours, so hopefully it's not too late a night for those on the east coast.

I’m Central time zone. Also confirming that 10am-6pm is available for me on the 19th. But if folks are cool with the 20th, let’s make it happen!
-
Thanks everyone. It looks like Mar 20 in the evening could work.
Mr. F - what time zone are you? If you're eastern time, it looks like we could get started at 9 eastern / 6 pacific (based on the rest of the whenisgood responses).

I can try to make the 18th happen. I will be at a convention for work March 14th-17th and taking a redeye home into the 18th but if that is the best date for everyone I can swing it - Just let me know - Never done a Slow Draft auction - but I could probably keep up with it enough to make that work too

My only concern with the slow draft as described here (and thanks everyone for helping to illustrate!) is the concurrent auction. With concurrent auctions, I'd imagine it is entirely possible (likely, even) that anyone's Plan A, Plan B and Plan C might all be up for auction at the same time. Obviously in a live auction, you would have to react if someone nominates your Plan B before you get a chance to nominate your Plan A, but the latter situation seems a lot more flexible than the former.
-
I can do the 19th or 20th. I dont know how long these drafts take so I ws playing it safe. On the 19th, I wont be available after 6:45pm so anything before that is fine. On the 20th I work 11-7pm, so can't do anything before 7pm. Otherwise I'm good. I would prefer a live draft as well. So the 19th I can be more flexible if that's the final/best option.
-
Slow draft is fine with me. Did some of these and they worked really well. With 3 nominations each we should get through with it in a couple of days. With the clock set at 8 hours you‘ll have to check three times a day for a couple of minutes.
-
Just seeing what the Commissioner posted, if a slow draft is the only way to do it, I relent. But I still think a live draft is more fun. Also, it allows all players to focus in the moment and then go on with our lives outside of Ottoneu.

For a slow auction, multiple players (generally 2-3 nominations per team) are up for auction at the same time (e.g. for 8-12 hours). The clock resets when a bid is made. Players end up being up for auction for a couple days at the beginning, but because 24-36 players are up at the same time, it goes quickly. I've done one before on Couch Managers, and it took a couple weeks - I'm happy to answer any questions anyone has. If we opt for this, it would likely have to start sometime in Feb.

I prefer not doing a slow draft... just my opinion. A live draft allows us to focus and then go on with our lives. I do like playing this league. But a week long draft seems like a pain.

Based on the updated poll results, the days with the fewest conflicts are: Mar 18, Mar 19, Mar 20.
The following teams indicated they are NOT available those days - please post here ASAP if you would be able to re-consider/make those days work:
- Mar 18: Rearden Steel, Queen City
- Mar 19: Mr. F, Queen City
- Mar 20: Mr. F, Queen City
Otherwise, I think it would be fairest to do a slow auction (unless anyone has strong objections to that).

I’m cool with slow draft as well if needed. I’m having a tough time picturing it also, but I’m down.
-
I'm flexible and will do whatever we need to make sure everyone can participate. I've never participated in such a large auction via slow draft, so maybe it works different than I'm imagining, but I struggle to see how a slow draft would work given we need it to be done auction style. If I counted the transactions correctly, last year's auction saw 142 players picked up. Not sure how that can get done with a reasonable clock on each bid.
-
I'm up for either a live draft (I put in my availability already) or a slow draft, whichever is easier for folks. I like that a slow draft can pick automatically if someone forgets to pick/is busy.

I’ll make sure to put my times in this weekend.

An alternative to a live draft is to have an off-site slow draft. I've done one before on Couch Managers (https://www.couchmanagers.com/). Players are up for auction for 8-12 hours and the draft takes place over weeks. Let me know if anyone has thoughts on that - I personally think its slightly less fun then a live draft (but probably preferable to having someone miss the draft altogether).

For what it's worth, the When is Good sheet stopped a week before opening day. I'm unavailable the weekend prior, but would be fine to do a weeknight that week if that works for others if we need to extend it out
