• same for me as well!

  Milton Bradley's on March 18, 2022 9:13 PM

• Mine looks good

  Bye Tork on March 18, 2022 9:10 PM

• See message below regarding imported rosters..
  
  For those who are new to Otto, there will be a Lineup tab as the season approaches. For now, you can use the Roster Organizer page to get an idea of your lineup. Just a heads up.

  Rearden Coal on March 18, 2022 9:08 PM

• Hey Gents...The rosters have been imported from CM. The file showed four errors, which I need to figure out what that means. It is very important that you review and compare your rosters on CMs to Otto. Hold off on any trades and starting auctions for free agents until all rosters are reviewed. Send me a message if your rosters are good or you notice an error. Be sure to let me know what the error is. Once all are done, trades and FA auctions can begin. Thanks!

  Rearden Coal on March 18, 2022 8:48 PM

• When returning to CM, be sure to scroll through the messages so you don't miss anything and so you can add your thoughts and opinions on various ideas being discussed.

  Rearden Coal on March 12, 2022 3:00 PM

• I've sent an email to CM regarding Ohtani. He is listed as DH and SP on CM. He's up for bid now as a DH, but whoever wins him, will have him for SP and UT in our league. Please don't start another bid for him as SP.

• Nine of the 12 owners have signed up on Slack. Go to this link to request access to join the Otto Neu community on Slack: https://community.ottoneu.com/t/ottoneu-on-slack/5774/269
  
  Sent me a message once you join and I'll add you to our league channel.
  
  Thanks...

• Hey Nelson...The draft kicks off at 9m (PST). My finger is hovering over "start auction" button.

  Rearden Coal on March 10, 2022 11:27 AM

• Are we starting today?

  Bye Tork on March 10, 2022 11:11 AM

• We are fortunate for sure. Looking forward to pushing the start button Thursday morning...

  Rearden Coal on March 8, 2022 8:17 PM

• I am so looking forward to this. For something that has a semblance to baseball. I am in 3 other leagues and they are all waiting for teams to be claimed so they can draft. We are the fortunate few, let’s have some fun!

  Him Edmonds on March 8, 2022 6:47 PM

• I’m in for Thursday

  Ninja Black Sox on March 8, 2022 11:49 AM

• I'm on board for Thursday.

  Bye Tork on March 8, 2022 10:55 AM

• See start of this post below:
  ...The number of nominations can be adjusted as can the hours allowed for an auction.
  Disclaimer: I have used Couch Managers for another Otto league; however, I have never been trusted with the controls for a draft on the site. I will do the best I can to make sure all goes well and to be responsive. I can't stress enough the importance to bid and to made sure you make your nominations. Check messages on Otto in case I send one regarding nominations.

  Rearden Coal on March 7, 2022 7:42 PM

• You all have spoken and each of you have made valid points. Based on your input, I suggest we start the draft Thursday at 9am (PST). The key for all of you is to make sure you have two nominations for players. When you start an auction for a player, once an owner wins the the auction, the owner who nominated that player will then need to nominate another player. You will see "Noms Left" under the right column on Couch Managers. Various settings can be adjusted during the draft...

  Rearden Coal on March 7, 2022 7:37 PM

• The sooner we draft there are options available to ALL teams. You can trade for players, you can cut players (with penalty) and you can start auctions. The longer we wait the clock runs faster toward the beginning of the season. Right now, we are sitting on our hands.

  Him Edmonds on March 7, 2022 6:37 PM

• Sorry for the tardy response. The link also did not work for me. I'm mostly good either way. The only thing I feel strongly about is not waiting once they agree. IF we are going to wait for them to agree, we should be ready to start almost immediately after they agree. The timelines will likely be very compressed and we will need to move quickly once an agreement gets signed as I expect we will have 4 weeks at the most.

  Poseylicious on March 7, 2022 1:41 PM

• Thanks to those who voted, those who tried, and those who posted their thoughts on the board. As much as I want to get the draft going, I think we will wait a little longer. I hope the two sides can come to an agreement soon. Thanks for your patience.

  Rearden Coal on March 6, 2022 8:51 PM

• Link didn't work for me either...I'm good with whatever decided

  Broken Clocks on March 6, 2022 9:28 AM

• As of this morning, there were five votes; three to wait and two to start. One vote on the board suggested we wait, another fine with the majority, and another ready to start this weekend. We’re still missing a couple to vote.

  Rearden Coal on March 5, 2022 2:28 PM

• I'd be down to start tonight or tomorrow afternoon!

  All My Bichette’s Love Me on March 5, 2022 1:03 PM

• The link works fine for me. Do we have a majority of the votes?

  Bye Tork on March 5, 2022 12:20 PM

• I can't get the link to work. I'd prefer to wait, I think it's important to know where the FA's sign and there are a lot of big names still out there.

  Once Upon a Prospect 📖 on March 4, 2022 2:36 PM

• Not sure what's up with the link. I've tested a few different times and each time worked fine. Thanks for the added responses here.

  Rearden Coal on March 3, 2022 8:59 PM

• @Blue Crew Oooh, thanks for the recommendation on espn+. The link doesn't seem to work on me as well, but I am good to go whenever!

  Milton Bradley's on March 3, 2022 8:08 PM

• I’m good to go when y’all are

  Him Edmonds on March 3, 2022 7:20 PM

• Never mind. Got it to work!

  All My Bichette’s Love Me on March 3, 2022 2:59 PM

• That URL did not work for me. Any way you could send it in slack as a hyperlink?

  All My Bichette’s Love Me on March 3, 2022 2:40 PM

• Draft Relater -
  
  Be sure to vote by visiting the link posted at the bottom of this message.
  
  I’m fine either way, but think it’s important to get updated thoughts from others. Starting the draft now could be a way to break the boredom of no fantasy baseball.
  Visit the below link to vote. You can also post here any thoughts related to waiting or starting the draft.

  Rearden Coal on March 3, 2022 1:29 PM

• IMO I think we should go ahead with the draft, let’s have some fun. Is it really going to change things much. How long does it usually take for a slow draft, especially since we are starting from scratch? My guess it will be three or four days, or more.

  Him Edmonds on March 2, 2022 9:36 PM

• Damn...too much wine tonight....D1 Baseball is a great resource.

  Rearden Coal on March 1, 2022 10:53 PM

• @Fortunevill Magnets - You're welcome. That is the challenge. I watch games on ESPN+. There are times you can to the team website or conference to see where to watch. Hope that helps. DQ

  Rearden Coal on March 1, 2022 10:53 PM

• @Blue Crew - Thanks for the recommendation! Is there any website where you can watch the college baseball games either live or recorded prior?

  Milton Bradley's on March 1, 2022 9:41 PM

• This is a sad day for MLB, but there’s an alternative. Several years ago, I fell in love with college baseball. Since then, I’ve been a subscriber to D1baseball.com. It is the best site out there for college baseball. They also have a really good podcast. Baseball America is good (I subscribe there as well), but D1 baseball is my go to. Give it a try and let me know what you think.

  Rearden Coal on March 1, 2022 7:15 PM

• "MLBPA player leaders agreed unanimously not to accept MLB's final proposal"

  Once Upon a Prospect 📖 on March 1, 2022 4:24 PM

• @blue crew - Thanks for the clarification! And @ Hebrew Hammers - Ottoneu isn't a two catcher league at least as far as I know.

  All My Bichette’s Love Me on March 1, 2022 2:35 PM

• ALSO..... WHO CHOSE 2 CATCHERS, THERE ARE BARELY 12 ROSTERABLE CATCHERS TOTAL, LET ALONE 24

  Hebrew Hammers on March 1, 2022 2:11 PM

• GOT THE AUCTION SITE LOADED IN MY BROWSER ON MY PHONE NOW, SO I CAN PAY ATTENTION WHEN I'M NOT AT WORK LOL

  Hebrew Hammers on March 1, 2022 2:08 PM

• Sounds like they're close...

  Bye Tork on March 1, 2022 12:20 PM

• @Champioship Beltre - Sorry for not responding before now. For now, the plan is to wait until the end of the lockout. Fingers crossed that happens in the next couple of hours.

  Rearden Coal on March 1, 2022 12:07 PM

• So it appears there will be no deal as things don't seem good right now. Are we going to fire up the draft tonight?

  All My Bichette’s Love Me on February 28, 2022 4:08 PM

• I’m good either way.

  Him Edmonds on February 26, 2022 8:13 AM

• I agree with waiting until monday as well!

  Milton Bradley's on February 25, 2022 2:09 AM

• I think waiting till Monday could pay off as well. But I doubt it will get done by then.

  All My Bichette’s Love Me on February 24, 2022 6:14 PM

• Agree with waiting until Monday.

  Once Upon a Prospect 📖 on February 24, 2022 6:03 PM

• I think we should wait at least until Monday to see if anything is agreed upon, as unlikely as that is. I'm eager to draft, but also would like to see where some of these FAs sign and whatnot.

  Bye Tork on February 24, 2022 5:18 PM

• We are full and everyone has signed up on Couch Managers. Like me, I know several of you are eager to get the draft started. I'm fine with that, but would like to get an idea of what you think. Should we wait to get an update regarding the lockout or just push the draft start button? I read yesterday that if there's not an agreement by Monday, the start of the regular season may be delayed. Post here what you think we should do and we can then decide. Thanks.

  Rearden Coal on February 24, 2022 5:07 PM

• I've requested access to Slack as well as joined the CM draft. Sorry for the delay.

  Once Upon a Prospect 📖 on February 24, 2022 2:39 PM

• @Navy Street. All good. Enjoy your time at Disney. Thanks!

  Rearden Coal on February 24, 2022 12:04 AM

• I will switch up my team name in CM. I'm reading all the messages...but down in Disney for the week...so will not be particularly responsive...will also do the otto slack when I return
