Sorry if my trade proposals submit twice, it is almost always an unintentional form resubmission issue when I reopen an old tab on my phone.

Draft night #2 begins tonight at 6 pm ET. Collectively, it looks like each person has around 20 players left to draft. We anticipate this could take anywhere from 2.5 - 4 hours. But also note, if you are satisfied with your roster, you are free to leave at any point in the evening. See you all soon!
-
Auction starts at 6 pm ET. See you all soon!
-
Reminder: our Auction Draft will take place THIS SUNDAY and MONDAY night at 6PM EST.
Details and procedures have been posted in the Discord. Looking forward to an excellent season!

Sunday sounds great to me.
-
Sunday would work for me as well.
-
No problem for me on Sundays
-
Great to see the league full! Now that we have everyone, I was wondering how everybody feels about moving the draft to a Sunday? I work in the service industry and usually work Saturdays. I can make it work if need be though.

Good question! So there will be an Annual Auction which we will conduct via Ottoneu. That's for the 40 man roster. There will also be a few annual Prospect Drafts for the 15 MiLB$0 players. That will be a slow draft and we were intending to do that manually, which is how previous leagues have done it. Details are in the Charter, which I am about to post for everyone to look at.

Do we use Couch Managers for auction draft ?

Also, for the people with fantasy backgrounds who are newer to Ottoneu, there are a lot of great resources out there. PitcherList has some very helpful primers (shorturl.at/moCHT) and there are some great articles on FanGraphs (https://fantasy.fangraphs.com/category/ottoneu/). I definitely recommend reading through the Ottoneu rules since there are some important details re: roster management that you should be familiar with. If anyone has questions, you can also send me or WANDER a message!

Our league is really filling out. Only one spot left to fill! WANDER and I are putting together a google doc with the league charter and a google spreadsheet for our minor league draft. Once we are at 12 we will send that around and everyone can have a chance to look at it, ask questions, and discuss changes.
-
Welcome!!
-
Welcome friend! So glad to hear we have Canadian baseball friends in the league. As a Rays fan, I expect to watch my team’s games there soon enough. 🤷🏼♂️ 🍁
-
Hi everyone - greetings from Ottawa, Canada - thanks for asking me to be a part of the League. Look forward to it

Welcome! Together as a league, I think it’s very possIble we can get Mike Trout to the playoffs.
-
Howdy howdy to the new folks :)
-
Glad to be part of the league! Looking forward to this and having a great time with y'all.
-
Welcome Antics, Velour, and Harps! Great question Antics - All prospects can be bid on in the Auction (which will fill out each team’s 40 man roster); the penalty is just that they will cost money and roster space. There will be a separate MiLB draft (each team will draft 15 players that will not be a part of your team’s $400 budget). Greendale Human Beings and I are going to spell this out in more detail in our league constitution, which we will submit for your review.
-
Thanks! Excited. Quick question. Are we allowed to bid on prospects at the auction or are all prospects confined to MiLB rosters?
-
Welcome to all the newcomers! Excited to see the league fill out.
-
Welcome Turtles! Glad to have you.
-
Welcome!
-
Thanks gents - looking forward to it!
-
Welcome Wesley!
-
I see we have new blood on the roster )
-
Not sure about the Gruffalo but I'll have to look it up now!
-
If the Fluffalo is anything like the Gruffalo, I think this name change is deserving of long term consideration. In any case, welcome! So glad you decided to join the league.
-
Hello there and welcome! I think you will really enjoy Ottoneu, so user friendly and excellent format for year long engagement
-
Howdy folks, glad to be here as well! I'll change the name up after the draft if I can come up with something clever :)
New to Ottoneu but have a good few years under my belt playing dynasty over on CBS. My leagues have all folded over there though so taking this opportunity to shift over to what I keep hearing is *the* way to play.
Looking forward to it!
-
Very happy to have you, Thrilled! I call dibs on Wander btw. Sorry to disappoint.
-
While I do love the Rays, I do let reason get the best of me sometimes and I don’t bid on every Rays player :) If you wanted to put out some feelers, that would be great. We will continue to do the same as well!
-
Looking forward to it! Admittedly your namesake may be a target of mine WANDER, but something tells me you’ll outbid me. Not sure if you guys have other players lined up for the league, but let me know if you need me to put out some feelers. Most of the other league mates I’ve played with over the years aren’t big dynasty fans, but I may be able to come up with one or two that could be interested.
-
Welcome Thrilled! Great to have you in the league. As long as you aren’t also a die hard Rays fan willing to pay too much for Rays players at the auction, we should be good friends.
