League Message Board

Hi all- I've updated our draft date to 3/4, 8pm. We should be able to complete the draft in a 3 hour window. Thanks to those who provided feedback on the time!
-
Given the likelihood that we have new owners joining for the unpaid/abandoned teams, I'd like to align on a date with this group, so prospective owners know the draft date ahead of time. We should be able to get through the draft in ~3 hours this year.
-
The MLB season starts early with games in Japan (March 18th), so we should get a draft date locked in! I've created a Doodle poll here based on my availability. Please fill in your availability by Friday (Feb 7th) at this Doodle poll: https://doodle.com/meeting/participate/id/bWp0k4Qd.
-
A number of teams that still need to renew. I believe you get a few days grace period, but then unpaid teams will be abandoned and anyone can grab them.
-
Got mine done, looking forward to the season!

ANOTHER REMINDER- please renew your teams and make cuts - a majority of the league (myself included) need to do both, and the deadline is 3 DAYS AWAY! Thanks :)
-
Welcome, NFG! Everyone else- please make sure you are making your cuts and renewing your team. Please let me know if you have any issues!
-
Howdy everybody. I've taken over NFG and am excited to get started.
There will be plenty of roster turnover, so if anybody wants somebody on the team please shot me an offer.
Thanks for having me!

Please also note that the keeper deadline is JAN 31. For those new to Ottoneu, you can make unlimited cuts through Jan 31 without penalty. After Jan 31, all cuts will be subject to the in-season cap penalty.
-
Hi all- I have abandoned NFG so another owner can take over. Please let me know if you do NOT plan to play in 2025, and I will do the same for you.
-
Make sure to get your arbitration in- we need to inflate some of these salaries!
-
Hi all- arbitration is open! You have until November 14th to allocate your arbitration $ across the league. Please message me with any questions!
-
I’m In for next year!

Happy to put daily vs. weekly to the vote- I know we had several managers who preferred weekly, but that may have changed.
Any thoughts from other managers?
-
I still intend to play, but was wondering if we would consider swapping to a daily roster over weekly. I play in another league that does daily and I found it to be a little more interesting.
-
Congrats to vivaelbirdos who narrowly hung on to become our first champion! Thanks all for a great season- hope you had fun!
Please message me if you are not planning to come back for 2025- will look to get new owners in ASAP. I’ll message the league when we have a date for arbitration.
Enjoy the playoffs!
-
Home stretch! A 200 point lead seems safe for vivaelbirdos...but hoping for a bit of drama!
-
Anybody looking for any pieces to make a last-ditch push, I'm open for business.
-
Hi all- NFG expressed interest to hand over the team. NFG is willing to play out the season, but please message me if you know someone who would be interested in taking over now. I'll post externally if we don't find someone.
-
Hey yall. Hope you're having a good Monday. I've got a lot of pitching right now that I'd like to condense into some hitters since a bunch of mine are on the injured list. If you're interested in a trade let me know! I'm not really sure who's trying to improve their pitching rn.
-
Braves fan here, itching to put Ozuna in my lineup. So, I'm willing to part with Ohtani+loan if I can get back a worthy return.
-
Hi all- reminder that there is an early (11 am ET) game today, so get those rosters in!
-
Oof- tough luck on the pitching front, Sandworms...some nasty injuries.
-
My understanding is that you will have the lineup you initially set for the full week, and would start the newly received players the following week.
-
Hey since I'm new to this, we've got our trade waiting to be approved. If I start a player who's in that trade can I swap their spot later in the week?
-
Hi all- reminder that we have an early game today, so get those lineups in!
-
May be...I'll set up Joe Buck's lineup for next week, and will mark the team as abandoned if we don't hear mid-week.
-
Is Joe Buck out? Doesn't look like he set a lineup for this week.

Hi all- I've finished the draft on CouchManagers and imported rosters back to Ottoneu. Please double check that everything looks OK on your end.
Please note that rosters lock 5 minutes ahead of the first game of the week- so get your lineups in before Opening Day!
-
I'm going to stop new nominations at 12pm ET tomorrow (3/25)- should allow those managers who are active to finish.
-
Also- looks like Joe Buck has not been active in a while- will assume they are done drafting unless they start nominating today.
-
Hi all- given it's the weekend, and we have few actual auctions taking place, I'm going to set the draft timer for 8 hours now (4 hour extensions). Please let me know if this doesn't work for you.
-
Hi all- thanks for keeping the nominations going! Looks like we have ~5-6 rounds of nominations left, so hopefully we can finish this weekend. I'll then upload the rosters to fangraphs, "complete" the auction, and you will be free to set rosters for the real opening day!
-
I think if everyone passes it would finish the auction? Not sure it matters if you are done bidding anyway. I use it to keep track of who I’m out on…
-
What is the consequence of “passing” on a player. And does it have any benefit? Seems like it is helping your opposition

You can enter a max bid on the auctions, and it will automatically increase by $1 up to your max bid (eBay style). Just make sure that you don’t click “make max bid my real bid”
-
Auction is live at couch managers. Players are up for 12 hours; when the time is under 8 hours, clock resets to 8 when someone is outbid.
Every team gets 3 nominations at a time (so 36 players are up at a time). PLEASE try to stay on top of your nominations. It’s more fair that way, and we want to get through the auction as soon as possible.
-
We will start tomorrow, hopefully midday
-
when-ish are we starting tonight?

Rosters have been uploaded in Couch Managers- please take a look to double check that everything looks correct. Please also check the player list if you have any deep sleepers, to make sure they are in Couch Managers. Haven't had any issues so far, but based on last night, someone here might want to drop $35 on an unknown college freshman :)
-
Going to give Team Ben until this evening, otherwise will abandon the team so we can finish the draft. He hasn’t been on since 3/12…
-
As a reminder- please join the Couch Managers auction draft here: https://www.couchmanagers.com/auctions/?auction_id=861
Password is "TSL24!"

Hi all- haven't received confirmation from Joe Buck or Team Ben (and viva has some conflicts), but we are going to do the best that we can given everyone else has held the time to draft. We will plan on getting through ~4 hours of the draft tonight, and will pick up with a slow/offline draft after that. Hopefully that will get us to 12 fully stocked teams!
-
I will be unavailable from probably 745-9--so skip me for nominations
