• It's Draft Day. See everyone tonight at 8 pm ET!

  Chantilly Chimps on March 13, 2025 1:23 PM

• Yes, the draft is here. :)

  Chantilly Chimps on March 12, 2025 3:52 PM

• I guess it is in here.

  Miami Mice on March 12, 2025 3:37 PM

• I’ll be ready for Thursday. Is it on couch managers?

  The Chicago Shadow on March 10, 2025 5:30 PM

• Thanks for checking. Yes, confirming to all that the draft is Thursday at 8PM ET.

  Chantilly Chimps on March 10, 2025 5:12 PM

• Is the draft Thursday?

  Black Beard's Delight on March 10, 2025 11:07 AM

• Couch Managers has been having issues the past few days going down. Not sure if it should be an option at this stage

  International Slugger on March 7, 2025 12:09 PM

• I just did a couch managers draft, didn't care for it. Limits the amount you can bid when multiple auctions are going at once.

  Black Beard's Delight on March 6, 2025 5:09 PM

• I can vouch for the slow draft on Couch Managers as well!

  International Slugger on March 5, 2025 2:49 PM

• I‘m doing the draft in another Ottoneu league as a slow draft on Couch Managers right now. Works fine.

  Miami Mice on March 5, 2025 2:47 PM

• Split the draft up across multiple days, to be clear

  Sandwich on March 5, 2025 9:59 AM

• I'm fine with that Thursday or even that Wednesday but would it help people if we split the draft up? I don't know what everyone's conflicts are but maybe that's a solution?

  Sandwich on March 5, 2025 9:58 AM

• No worries guys. We’ll figure it out.

  Drs. Steelhammer & Ironfist on March 4, 2025 11:02 PM

• I don't see any other options for the draft. I'm really at a loss. 3 owners never posted their availability in the poll. The most names we had were on a date Ottoneu doesn't allow. The next two were this Saturday and next Thursday. Only 6 people said they were available then. Moving the date to another day means just as many or more people will have conflicts. If someone else wants to drive things, I'm happy to turn over the commish keys, but what can I do?

  Chantilly Chimps on March 4, 2025 10:06 PM

• Sunday the 16th isn't available, that's the most sought after date. Server can't handle everyone at the same time.

  Black Beard's Delight on March 4, 2025 12:25 PM

• C'mon baseball owners, I did two drafts at the same time many times. You reduce screen and have two drafts on you screen (I even did four last year, but that was crazy). A little effort here or we will never find a date that fits us all

  Big Papi memories on March 4, 2025 10:34 AM

• I didn’t vote for Thursday March 13th as we have another draft happening on that night at that exact time. Are we looking at the same Doodle? I’m seeing Sunday 3/16 had the most Yes votes. Please let me know if I’m misinterpreting it

  Drs. Steelhammer & Ironfist on March 4, 2025 5:10 AM

• Hi, everyone. I've updated the draft date to 8pm ET on Thursday, March 13. Unfortunately, we were locked out of the following Sunday which is the day that the most people were available. I hope that everyone can make it! (The 7pm time was just a placeholder--no worries. What you voted on is what we're doing)

  Chantilly Chimps on March 4, 2025 4:46 AM

• Hey guys, I thought we were voting for 8pm start times in the Doodle… We may not be able to make it as early as 7pm. Is that set in stone?

  Drs. Steelhammer & Ironfist on March 3, 2025 7:36 PM

• So have we settled on a draft day?

  Sandwich on February 24, 2025 9:12 AM

• It does indeed seem like we need a new owner. Shadow, if you're still in contact, would you let Mercy Rule know that I can hold off posting the team until Wed night. For everyone else, please fill out our poll regarding your draft availability. Still haven't heard from 3 folks.

  Chantilly Chimps on February 11, 2025 12:28 AM

• Looks like we need a new manager.

  Miami Mice on February 10, 2025 12:31 PM

• Hi, friends. The Cubs & Dodgers open the season in Japan on March 18th for two games. The traditional opening season is 8 days later on March 27.
  
  Please vote at the poll link below for your availability. I added each of the first 16 days of March and will schedule the draft for the date that best suits everyone.
  
  Get excited. The Cubs have pitchers and catchers reporting one week from today!

• I texted him this message. Thank you so much. Hopefully he can get it fixed.

  The Chicago Shadow on February 1, 2025 10:41 PM

• Shadow, would you please let Will know this via Niv:
  
  Every user has a 10 day grace period to renew any team they have and was due on January 31.
  If a team is not renewed by February 10th, it will show up on the Claim Teams page as Expired
  If someone is having trouble paying for their team, they should email help@ottoneu.com immediately
  
  They should also review this thread for common issues (remainder in community threads)

  Chantilly Chimps on February 1, 2025 9:34 PM

• I didn't mark it as abandoned so he can't do that yet. I don't see any commish tool that allows it. Let me send in a note & see if there's some kind of hidden trick.

  Chantilly Chimps on February 1, 2025 8:11 PM

• He should be about to buy it on the expired teams list

  Black Beard's Delight on February 1, 2025 7:42 PM

• Will Stockton with Mercy Rule is locked out of his team. He tried to pay but it wasn’t accepting his payment then it locked him out. Can someone look into this for him.

  The Chicago Shadow on February 1, 2025 7:22 PM

• That's more like it!

  Drs. Steelhammer & Ironfist on January 30, 2025 4:51 PM

• Less than 3 weeks left in the trade season--awfully quiet around here.

  Drs. Steelhammer & Ironfist on January 12, 2025 10:35 AM

• Thanks so much all the help

  The Chicago Shadow on November 13, 2024 9:54 PM

• Welcome, Jon! Glad we got you up and running. Hope you'll leave a few decent prospects for the rest of us to pick over.

  Luck Dragons on November 13, 2024 9:31 PM

• Should be all set. Let me know if there’s an issue

  The Chicago Shadow on November 13, 2024 4:36 PM

• Ok, Jon has claimed the Spiders and is working on getting his arbitration funds allocated.

  Luck Dragons on November 13, 2024 4:11 PM

• Yes, I see it also. Not sure why I didn't before.

  Luck Dragons on November 13, 2024 3:10 PM

• I see it on there

  Black Beard's Delight on November 13, 2024 2:45 PM

• Neither Cleveland Spiders nor our league name exists on that page, I just checked. Any idea why?

  Luck Dragons on November 13, 2024 2:40 PM

• Just tell them to go to this link: https://ottoneu.fangraphs.com/claimteams, find Cleveland Spider, and click "Claim."

  Drs. Steelhammer & Ironfist on November 13, 2024 12:32 PM

• Oh, OK Steelhammer, just saw your message. Will get on it.

  Luck Dragons on November 13, 2024 11:02 AM

• Yes!! I know someone who wants the team!! What are next steps?

  Luck Dragons on November 13, 2024 11:01 AM

• Just two to go for arbitration--any chance we can get a new manager in place to arb before the deadline?

  Drs. Steelhammer & Ironfist on November 13, 2024 10:57 AM

• Great news! I love an owner vouched for by another! Have them join Ottoneu & you can private message me their username. I can add them from that.

  Chantilly Chimps on November 12, 2024 5:43 PM

• I've located someone interested in taking over the unowned team. I've played against him in different leagues for about 12 years. Who is acting as our commish? How does he proceed in becoming a league member?

  Luck Dragons on November 12, 2024 5:24 PM

• A shame to see another original owner go, Papi, but I sure do respect your being smart about your time and energy. Be well & enjoy the postseason.

  Chantilly Chimps on October 19, 2024 3:06 PM

• Hi Commish and owners, congrats to the winners, wanted to say it's been a pleasure playing with all of you this season. Got way too many leagues and cannot maintain the rythm (time consuming and $$$). So I won't be renewing many of my leagues like this one, got some talent to attract new owner for next year so you should be able to quickly fill vacancy. have a good arb and a great future season! Thanks Commish for great work

  Big Papi memories on October 19, 2024 2:47 PM

• Thanks Chimps!

  Miami Mice on October 17, 2024 8:20 AM

• I've posted the opening & will let you all know when potential owners reach out.

  Chantilly Chimps on October 16, 2024 10:27 PM

• Cheers!

  The Chicago Shadow on October 16, 2024 2:05 PM

• Sure, I can do that much for my hobby. Thanks for explaining & hope we cross paths in the future.

  Chantilly Chimps on October 16, 2024 2:02 PM

• Not all that much, honestly: sending out reminders for arbitration; setting the draft date; starting and ending the draft; ensuring that the league has 12 owners if an abandoned team is not claimed for some reason. Everything else takes care of itself. Let me know if I can make the change, thanks.
