Totally okay with pausing though my preference is to keep going. We could have four+ teams finish tomorrow, and I doubt this gets fixed before Monday. It's practically all leftovers at this point. New team should definitely have a shot before draft ends though.
-
I went ahead and paused the auction. I believe there is just enough uncertainty. Give me time to fit the new owner into the league (or short stack returns) and then get it going again. Saturday night is not the best time to do any of this-so, sorry. I want the league to run as correctly as possible.
-
Hey-I received contact from a potential new owner to potentially replace Short Stack. As of now, I haven't heard anything from Short Stack whether he's in or out. I'm a little stuck right now. Part of me wants to pause the auction, figure out the new owner, and then restart the auction. I've contacted Mike @ Couch Managers to help, and we'll see what happens. Thoughts?
-
I just completed the roster update from the past 36 hours of drafting. Again, please check for errors.
-
I DM'd Short Stack this afternoon letting him know that I'm actively looking for a new owner unless he confirms that he wants to be a part of the league going forward. The last thing I want to do is cost someone $20, but I'm also aware that shit happens in all our lives that distract us from fantasy baseball, so hopefully he's doing fine and can continue. If not, I'm going to look to replace him ASAP.
-
No worries! Thank you for putting this together. Short Stack really brought that Short Stack energy, and that's too bad. How do we want to handle the open roster spots? 15 open roster spots may be a tough takeover, but adding 15 $1 guys or best 15 left over doesn't seem equitable either. Let's have a season boys and girls!
-
The Short Stack thing is worrisome. I'll give it another day and then I'll suspend his draft...which sucks. Nothing much we can do about it though. Better news-I updated the rosters. Only Seiya Suzuki cannot be added to rosters. Judge-I'll DM you, but remind me to add him before opening day (just count the $13 cap hit). Check rosters, salaries, etc for errors.
-
So is "short stack" out? He's not logged into the auction in almost two days. That would be a bummer.
-
Could everyone use their nominations and pass buttons :)
-
will you guys take my rubles for the pot?
-
No one wants your Australian $$$! Hahahaha
-
keen for a 1k buyin
-
OK. As stated in an earlier post, I want this to be 100% unanimous. I believe we've fostered a pretty active league. I'd like to think I've tried to keep the line moving for folks that don't want to be active in the league. With all of your help, I believe we've created a nice competitive league. To that end, I hate to lose owners if I feel like they CAN compete well, so I hope Short Stack continues with us-I think you will find that we're cheap fun. In the meantime, keep the auction going!
-
I’m not interested in a money league either.
-
I'm not interested in doing a money league.
-
I added an additional nomination to everyone's auction. Happy drafting!
-
There are lots of leagues in the "free" tier in Ottoneu that do money outside of Ottoneu. I'd be open to something like that, but considering this is a weird year with lockout and kind of last minute change it'd need to be a low $ amount or just the decision now to do this with next season so everyone knows what they are getting into.
-
Sorry if I'm not understanding something but didn't you know this was not a money league when you joined? If you thought there was a high risk of people abandoning their teams because of the fact that they may be missing out on potentially winning a few hundred bucks then why did you join? Again, am I missing something here?
-
So you’d leave if we don’t go to a money league?
-
I guess I wonder how we incentivize everyone to check? Finances are always tough, no doubt about it. Never wanna pressure people into throwing money in. But I’ve been in 2 other leagues with $40-$50 put in, no one has left the league in 7-years and hardly ANY of us know each other. Payment is through venmo or paypal. I love fantasy so much, but I don’t think I want to play if there’s not incentive to check since I’m already in 2 other leagues. Appreciate any and all thoughts on this! Thank you
-
A little context. Short Stack asked me about turning this into a money league earlier today. I told him to bring it up to the league. I don't necessarily mind, but there's uncertainty baked into this change. Who collects the money? How is the money distributed? Etc. I don't mind changing our policy here, but it comes with some drawbacks as well. Please discuss it openly with the league. I would personally require a 100% approval to change as everyone is locked into this season.
-
Hey guys, was curious how much $ we would want to put in. I think $40-$50, that’s like $7-$8 a month, winner gets like 70%, 25%, 3rd 15%, what does everyone think?
-
Additionally, I will begin manually importing auctioned players on to their new teams within a day or two. I always like the reference on the league page.
-
May I also suggest that if you know you are not going to bid on a certain player at or above the curent bid, to please press "Pass." Thanks.
-
As long as there are no objections, I'm going to add a second nomination to everyone's name starting tomorrow morning. Be on the lookout!
-
Friendly Reminder: Ohtani is rostered by All Black Bats. Please do not nominate him in the draft. Couch Managers split him into DH and SP.
-
The auction is open. 16 hours for initial auction. 12 hours for resets. One nomination for now. We’ll evaluate as needed. Good luck. Let me know if you have any questions.
-
The auction is full. Thanks! I'm giving everyone a day to double check their rosters on the auction site. I uploaded the keeper list and corrected missing players. Still, be certain that your rosters and cash are correct. If you need any changes, let me know. If everything is good, I will begin the auction SATURDAY at NOON (CT). 18 hours for initial auction. 12 hours for new bids.
-
Down to one. I DM'd Not Hot Mess. Hopefully I can get rosters updated over the weekend and we can start as soon as Sunday.
-
Right now-it's only Not Hot Mess & Beer Pong (I think) that need to sign up. I'll give it a few more days and I'll email directly. Baseball is going to start in less than a month. We should be able to accomplish a solid slow auction draft in about 2 weeks.
-
Again-we are missing 3 members in the Auction. Please do this as soon as possible. REMINDER: sign up for the Couch Manager auction https://www.couchmanagers.com/auctions/?auction_id=114 Password- eephus

Hey all-I created the auction room through Couch Managers this morning. I figure this is a good time to load up rosters and maybe get this thing going. The link- https://www.couchmanagers.com/auctions/?auction_id=114 Password: eephus Please enter your team name as it appears in this league to make the import easier. Perhaps we can get this thing started this weekend or possibly next week. Let me know if you have any questions.
-
Slow auction works for me.
-
Slow draft sounds great. I prefer waiting until lockout ends, but no big deal.
-
Slow auction workls for me. Totally flexible on timing.
-
Big fan of slow draft. I'd be fine starting it in a couple weeks, regardless of lockout situation at that point.
-
Slow draft: yes
GroupMe: Yes
You all being weirdos: Yes
-
Fix my draft Micheal
-
I want a distraction. NZ Omicron is spiking and most of us are in work from home mode. I know Correa will be good regardless of team. I know random unsigned reliever will have unpredictable results. Im keen to try Groupme, let's just not make it exhausting.
-
Agree on slow draft and waiting until after lock-out ends. I'd be open to GroupMe or something similar but not sure I want to give you weirdos my phone number.
-
We need to talk draft. I assume everyone is good with a slow auction similar to previous seasons? I can start readying an auction site. I don't know when everyone wants to start. I think we should wait until the Lockout ends-we should have a month to auction. I'm not completely set on this idea though. I simply want a better sense of value before drafting. Still, I know some may want a distraction and want to get going. Thoughts? (2/2)
-
Welcome aboard. Thanks for all the info, Short Stack. I think one season we tried to get a Group Me messaging system off the ground for the league. It didn't work out. If we want to try this again, I'd be game. (1/2)
-
Hey boys, excited to join this league. Have been using Ottoneu for 7-years. Figured it was time to add a team. Text me your names and numbers so we can talk trades throughout the season… whenever that may be! (818) 450-4659
-
Additionally-please check out that the keeper deadline is Feb 15.
-
Hello-my thought continues to be running a slow auction. It’s far easier for me to organize and run. I would like to start soon after the lockout is finished.
-
I would def prefer to do the slow auction and happy to pay for it or help setup if needed
-
Will we be doing a slow auction again? Just wondering if that is the permanent plan for the league. I'm fine with either standard or slow auction. Just curious for planning purposes
-
Happy lockout season! Thanks for all the solid arb work in November! Quick question: some of the owners are in another Ottoneu league-we just lost a member of our league and am looking for one SOLID owner to take on a challenging task. It's a super engaged and fun league. Full of good banter. Please let me know if you are interested. Link to team-->https://ottoneu.fangraphs.com/639/team?team=4557
-
Reminder: Arbitration continues for the league until Nov 14. Please take a little time and contribute arbitration money to the league. This is one of the most important aspects of this Ottoneu fantasy system. Let me know if you have any questions.
