To add-check out the ‘rules’ link at the bottom of the league page to read up on the entire waiver wire rule set. I believe the thing to consider is the cost of cutting a player and how that fits into the larger rules of roster compliance. I started trying to summarize it, but it’s best if you just read it on your own. Then, if you have questions, send them our way.
-
If a player gets put on the 60 day IL (or is suspended) Ottoneu automatically adds a roster spot for you.
You can also nominate players and bid on free agents with a full roster, but if you win the player you need to cut another to make your roster compliant.
-
question: I see lots of free agent auctions. How are you able to open roster spots past 40? I am guessing with 60 day IL, but is there another way to add past 40? Or what is the strategy ? Thanks!
-
Excellent, thank you! Good luck everyone!
-
Hey all-I went ahead and activated the season. The waiver wire and trading period can begin. Good luck.
-
OK. Thanks everyone! The auction is finished. Double check your rosters and DM me with adjustments. I'll start the league on Saturday. Thanks again.
-
Thanks for all your work commish! My roster looks good except missing Shota Imanaga.
-
I made a few major adjustments to the auction in order to finish it by the end of the Friday. 1. I gave everyone enough noms to finish their rosters. You need to use these before the end of the day. If you need another one, let me know. I want to activate the season on Saturday. 2. I adjusted all new auctions to 8hr initial with a 6hr extend to speed things up. 3. I took any current auction OVER 8 hrs and adjusted it to 8hrs. 4. I did another roster import. Check your rosters.
-
We shouldn't be trading until AFTER the auction is completed.
-
Keen once the draft closes and we're able to trade
-
I'm going to end up the auction with more OFs than I know what to do with. If you are interested in any of my OFs send over an offer, I'm willing to listen on everyone.
-
Hey all-I'm going to give everyone an extra nomination. I'm sorry I wasn't around much today to monitor the auction-work was pretty bad today. I'll add a nomination. It would be a BIG help if we started passing on these auctions, but I also know that some of us (me included) are keeping auctions open because they cover similar positions. Also, put your max bid in for players so we don't have this constant back and forth resetting. Again, I get it-things change, but the Vlad auction was crazy.
-
CM-Nominate players by clicking their names. Initial bids are $1, but I encourage you to put your highest bid after the auction begins in order to allow the auction to complete at a good pace. Obviously, we change our minds a lot and want to readjust bids-this is fine-just try to avoid it when possible. Also-utilize the pass button for any player you no longer want to bid on-this ends auctions quicker. Pass on your phone through clicking the player's name and selecting the "pass" butto
-
ok all-I'm starting this auction a few seconds after I post this message. Because our league stretches around the world, the initial auction times will be 10hrs. 8hrs for extension. I'll post to the board general directions for how CM works. It's definitely not perfect, but the problems are fixable. Good luck! Have fun. It's sure as shit better than work.
-
The CM auction is full-Thanks beer pong! I needed to request a player be added to CM's player pool, so once J.P. Feyereisen gets added, we should be full. In the meantime, give yourself the day to review the roster import. It's always tricky. I hope to start the auction later tonight or early Sunday morning. You can DM through Ottoneu or use the chat feature on CM. I'll provide a quick tutorial for those that don't know how CM works.
-
Well he was on Ottoneu today at some point so hopefully he can address it soon.
-
Hey all-I'm still efforting with getting Beer Pong into the auction. I don't want to get too aggressive during the week because we're sometimes super busy with work and family, but I'll send a direct email this weekend. I'm sure it's nothing. We wrote back and forth about the Paydala thing in January-I just hope he's doing okay.
-
Yep. I see you right there. I think it might be Beer Pong. Hmmm...sorry 'bout that.
-
Hello! I joined CM yesterday or the day before. Let me know if I have to do something else. Thnx
-
Bump this again-I think Tal Hill's Climbers is the only one left to join the CM league. Double check. Once they're in the CM auction, I'll import rosters and we can get the auction going sometime this weekend.
-
Hi all-I need everyone to join the Couch Manager auction page this week. I will begin importing rosters as people join. Follow this link:

Password: eephus
-
Yep. We're all full. I'm going to work on the Couch Manager auction room. I'd like to start the auction sometime after March 1. I'll include instructions and whatnot as we get closer to creating the auction room.
-
looks like we're full up again. Welcome new owner!
-
FYI: I'm working on finding a replacement owner for 'Holy Owned..' If you know of someone, have them join. In the meantime, I'm trying convince 1 other person and I've put the opening on the Ottoneu community message board.
-
Hi all-Reminder that we will start our slow auction via Couch Managers. I could probably put together the draft board as early as the weekend of Feb 17-19 or March 3-5 and have everyone check their rosters and then begin the slow auction the week afterwards. Please let me know your preference. I'm trying to do CM over some longer weekends for me. If you have any questions or comments about CM and the slow auction, let me know.
-
Thanks glad to be here. I really like the active nature of the league
-
Who’s changing their name to Albert Pujols?
Welcome aboard, Mr. Lidge. I see you found Jim and his trade satisfactory.
-
Brad Lidge is sure a name I haven't thought of in a long time.
-
Hey all-we have a newly abandoned team: Not Hot Mess is not returning for the 2024 season. If you know someone interested, the team is completely open to join.
-
Remember: If you need to, renew your team for the 2024 season. I'm a little behind myself, so I'm happy to see the reminder at the top of my league page. Additionally, make any roster cuts by Jan 31. I'll start putting together a plan for a March auction.
-
Hey everyone-thanks for a good season of arbitration. Holy Named is going to be leaving our league. If you know someone who would like to join, let me know and we can get them signed up. In a week or 2, I’ll abandon the team and allow for anyone outside our league to join.
-
Hi everyone. It’s arbitration season. Please make your arb decisions before Nov. 14. This is a great way to keep the league healthy moving forward.
-
Congrats Allstars! I wish I had been personally more competitive, but really fun to see all the crazy trades leading up to the deadline and lead changes after. The top 5 was really fighting all season and I enjoyed watching it.
-
Thanks Vibes/Shot! Did not expect such a great Sept, but I'll take it. I'm good for '24.
-
We are officially in the off season-if you plan on not joining us next season, please let me know ASAP. I'm going to request that you stay through the end of Arbitration.
-
Congrats to Franco's Allstars! When I grabbed that lead in early September, I knew it was short lived. You did a tremendous job down the stretch.
-
congrats allstars on a great season win!
-
Hey everyone-I canceled the trade that was accidentally accepted today. It was mistakenly agreed to by Tooth gap. Gonna apply the ‘fat finger’ clause. Let me know if you have any questions.
-
I'm good, thanks commish!
-
Ok. Quick update (sorry for all the messages)-I added players to rosters that are currently holding spots with 60-day IL. This completes the auction. Rosters *should* be correct. Let me know and I’ll fix it.
-
Ok. Did I get it right?!
-
Too many Judge’s. Ha. I’ll figure it out.
-
It appears I have the wrong Endy
-
I shouldn't have any Endy Rodriguez.
-
Good catches. Double check the fixes.
-
Asking the same lines it looks like judge's got the wrong Endy Rodriguez
-
Nice catch! I probably wouldn't have noticed until he got called up.
-
I noticed Cohen got the wrong Zac(h) Veen
-
FWIW-I believe I found the 2 errors. I added the correct Joseph Ortiz to my roster and removed Daniel Espinoza from Holy Owned.
-
I ended the auction, imported the rosters, and started the league for the 2023 season. Let me know if there are any issues with your roster imports. Holy Owned and Biz are at 39 players-if you have a 60 Day IL spot, let me know and I'll import the 40th active player to your roster. Otherwise, happy baseball season. Communicate with me any roster issues PRIOR to opening day.
