Just under a week left to get that arbitration done, please distribute those dollars before the deadline. Also if you plan to play for next year it never hurts to renew league dues before the deadline for that either! Thanks everyone and I can't wait for trading to open back up.
-
We’re all full again! Welcome to the pair of co-managers who have taken over AKA Big Papi. Hopefully we’re all set for 2025 and arbitration starts next week, just 4 days away!
-
Welcome, hope you enjoy!!

Hey all please welcome Nor'westers who took over the vacant minimum EV roster!
-
Appreciate Papi, thanks for the heads up and good luck with the paring down!
-
Hi Commish and owners, 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

Congrats, Cool Runnings! And thanks everyone for another fun, active season.

Morning All- If anyone is looking to add a league for next season feel free to check out this open FG Pts team in a $250 league. https://ottoneu.fangraphs.com/1033/team/7243
Roster features-- Judge, Mookie, Ketel, Nimmo, Happ, Bregman, Snell, LCastillo
-
Congrats, Cool Runnings - that is quite a lead!
-
Congrats to cool runnings!
-
Also you do not have to get legal for players that have been “activated” from the 60 today, as that would not have happened without the DH today. Get legal requirements only for winning claims/auctions.
-
Congrats Cool Runnings on what ended up being a dominating finish! Just wanted to remind everyone that we need to be legal before tomorrow and please let me know if you don’t have plans to return for 2025. Otherwise thanks for a great season and see everyone after arbitration!
-
Welcome Ice Road Truckers! It’s a super fun league, very active, hope you enjoy 😊
-
Welcome!
-
Gold Bottles has a new manager, please welcome Ice Road Tuckers to league 1464!
-
Hey everyone, Gold Bottles hasn't logged in for 2 months. Unless anyone has any strong objections I'm going to try and find a replacement manager to take over the roster, I did reach out back in June and never heard from him fwiw.
-
Yeah that sucks, what an unreal player and impossible to replace. Just bad on so many levels when that happens
-
Sucks, injuries to top players are just the worst.
-
Goodbye Ronny :(
-
posted in Slack as well but I've put together a SixPicks group for this league if anyone wants to join and play along this season! https://ottoneu.fangraphs.com/sixpicks/group?id=41

Draft is over! Trades, auctions, cuts, it's all systems go...
-
Appreciate the takes, I think we'll call it right now....no trading until the Slow Draft is officially over. We'll stick with this logic moving forward as well. Almost there!
-
Let’s wait for the draft to end before trading
-
I don't think it really matters either way whether we accept trades starting today or line them up to accept tomorrow honestly. That said it seems most fair to just wait until tomorrow when the draft is over to allow trading.
P.S. I don't have any trades out there so I'm unbiased (and a bit sad that y'all are leaving me out of the fun!)
-
I don’t have a big problem with trading now bc I don’t think anything that happens in final couple of auctions would change anything in terms of deals but don’t have an issue if people want to hold off completely until rosters are finalized from draft auction
-
but how does everyone feel about accepting trades at this time? It gets a bit murky on when we should technically start allowing this if we don't wait until the slow auction is officially over and my inclination was to tell people to hold off until its finished but wanted to get some opinions on this as well since this is a new question. Let's hear some thoughts!
-
Also wanted to get some opinions on when activity should open back up. I set the draft to be held offline this year in the league settings, unfortunately that unlocked everything activity wise and some folks have begun to receive trade offers already(exciting tbh). But I wanted to make sure that we as a group were all on the same page about this. Technically the draft is not over and I would definitely not be in favor of starting any player auctions or making cuts at this time...cont.
-
I went ahead and gave everyone enough nominations to fill out their rosters today, if would not like to get to 40 players in the slow auction please let me know so I can know who is done. Please get those nominations in today if you get a chance, I've also reduced the timer down to 6 hours to help move things along. Thanks everyone for a great draft, can't wait to get the season going!
-
Hey everyone! Fun 24 hours, lots of movement late last night! Please make sure as we get out of the higher end of the FA pool here that we all continue to make our nominations as they come back to us. Similarly as its not okay to skip noms in a live draft, if you're bidding on players in the pool you need to be using your nominations, so far so good so hopefully I won't have to bug anyone. And I forgot that on CM you have to mark yourself as done, so when you're finished please do so. Thanks!
-
You can mark me DONE for slow draft starting today, not enough money to really bid seriously, have fun guys

Hey everyone! Kicking off at noon eastern today! Just a few things, please nominate asap if you are actively bidding, if you don’t want to keep nominating please let me know and I’ll mark you as finished. Otherwise let’s have some fun! I’ll make sure extension times are high enough so no one misses extensions over night as well. Please feel free to reach out with any questions! Let’s roll 🎉
-
Howdy. If you're interested in taking on another $50 FGPTS team in a real fun active league lookie here. Good league with two options to build on.

Auction will go live on February 19th at 12pm eastern, we'll start with 3 nominations a piece and have the clocks set for 10 hr initial and 7 hr reset, I'll plan to bump those to 12 and 10 respectively for nighttime. Let's go!
-
Rosters have been imported into Couch Managers, please let me know if anything looks wrong but I just double checked total dollars spent and roster spots used and everything looked good but never hurts to check your individual players.
-
That makes sense! Thanks again

I think it can “technically” be done but I’m not sure how easy it would be to fix any of the formatting issues it would cause. This will be my first time importing rosters into CM so I’d rather not take any gambles lol
-
No rush, but Empty is there any way to import rosters for the 10 teams that have joined before the last 2 do? Just for fun, but if can’t be until all have joined, that’s ok. Thanks

Couch Managers Auction has been created!
https://www.couchmanagers.com/auctions/index.php?auction_id=724
Please join, password: 2024, ASAP using your team name so I can import the rosters and clean up any potential discrepancies there might be. Thanks everyone and please feel free to let me know if you have any questions!
-
The votes are in! We are kicking off the slow draft on February 19! I will get the draft room set up on couch managers this afternoon so everyone has plenty of time to log in and join. A reminder that EVERYONE must join and be in the auction before we can start so please let me know if you have any troubles logging in. Also please set your name on Couch Managers to match your team name here in the league so I can more easily import the rosters when we're all done. Thanks all, excited to draft!

You are correct in your assumption Commish

9 votes in and moving the start of the draft up to 2/19 still in the lead but not the majority, I'm assuming Papi, you're indifferent as you've only got 2 spots and $3 so that leaves two of you who we haven't heard from. If you don't want to jump on Slack please let me know here which start date you prefer: 3/4 or 2/19.
-
We have currently 7 votes on the slack poll for when to start the slow draft and moving it up to February 19th is currently the leader, if you'd like to make your voice heard please go vote before the end of tomorrow or let me know here on the message board. Either way I'd like to get this on the books in the next 36ish hours. Thanks everyone!
-
If anyone has any questions or grievances as always please feel free to reach out. That being said I scheduled the slow auction to start on March 4th because that is the week we did it last year but! since we're not a start-up this year I presume there will be less prep so if enough folks want to get it started earlier I'm more than happy to do that, in fact I probably prefer it personally especially with the early Seoul series this year! I'll set up a poll on Slack right now! Thanks
-
Hey all, I'm going to give AKA Big Papi a penalty free cut to get legal before the draft. He made a flurry of trades and miscalculated the salary math....it could happen to the best of us, and I would prefer that everyone be legal before we start the draft. Obviously this is a one time exception but I genuinely believe this was not a malicious decision and I think anyone who has played with Papi will agree. I'll have him get with me and we'll get that player in the FA pool and his roster legal.
-
Keeper and Renewal Deadline today fellas! Good luck with all your decisions and can't wait for real baseball to start soon!
-
Nice trades guys, especially Cole for Harris is neat
