Fine by me if no one objects.

Snap, dropped accidentally! Any chance at a reversal?

Anyone else have any malfunctions with “Bench position players that are not in their MLB starting lineup” toggled on? It benched Gallo for me when he’s starting…
-
Urias is available. Looking for some OF improvements and cheaper SP. Reach out with offers.
-
Now that he's back from his suspension, Tatis can be had.
-
It's raining 10-day ILers! Looking to swap Matz/Fuji/Mikolas for an SS or OF.
-
Is my teams pitching performance the worst in Ottoneu history???!

There's a glitch in the system for Ohtani and how he was moved to the bench after the game started instead of SP. Niv should hopefully have that fixed by the morning somehow.
-
Happy opening day everyone!!! Best of luck this season! Go Jays Go!!!!
-
Happy Baseball Eve!
To quote Baldwin in Glengarry: I’d wish you good luck, but I doubt you’d know what to do with it if you had it.
Seriously, good luck competing for steak knives.
-
Draft is complete! Thanks again everyone. You can start trading, making cuts, starting auctions, etc. Hopefully we have as tight a competition as last season. Good luck!
-
We're almost there! We should be done with the draft by this time tomorrow. As soon as that's complete, I will mark our draft as done in Ottoneu and you'll be able to cut, trade, start auctions, etc. Thanks everyone for rolling with this new draft format. Appreciate everyone staying on top of nominations and bids so we could get it done. Cheers.
-
Know it’s been said already but thanks Sandfrog for all the work putting the draft together and importing the results.
-
Okay. Let's crank this sucker up! I've doubled everyone's nominations to 4. That should help us start filling the bottom of our rosters more quickly over the weekend. Cheers.
-
Which player? DM me if you want and I'll take a look.
-
Confused about how the max bid works. We had a max bid set on a player who we were winning earlier today, but it now says someone else is winning that player at the same price we had as our max bid. Not sure if there was a tech error perhaps due to the two of us being logged in on our own devices at the same time, or if I’m misunderstanding the rules of the max bid?
-
Just wanted to shout-out to Ballad for all his work setting up the slow draft and making sure the league is running smoothly!

We're continuing to motor along with the draft. Thanks for keeping up those nominations! On Friday morning I'm going to increase each managers # of nominations from 2 to 4. That should help us pick up the pace as we get into lower $$$ players and finish rounding out our rosters. Cheers.
-
No problem. I find it helpful to have them in Ottoneu as well!
-
Thanks for entering our picks into Ottoneu, I appreciate having them in as they are drafted
-
I have stumbled upon a small militia of SP's will update the trade block soon, but feel free to hit me up to trade. I'm looking to trade SP's for hitters.

Thanks all for staying on top of nominations and bids. I think we're off to a good start on day one. I'm adding players to rosters in Ottoneu as I have time. Let me know if you see anything amiss. Thanks!
-
Btw I think I understand the value of the auto bid functionality now. I just submitted a 13$ bid for Senga. It then updated Ballard of Sandfrog bid of 12$ for him to 13$ (He is also still winning). So he saved 1$ as he didn't auto bid 14$. Also, the timer did not reset as his offer wasn't beat. So leverage auto-bid for players you really really want.

I agree, really like this slow draft module alot. It removes the issue if someone loses internet for a couple of mins where a live draft might screw you. Also mucho easier coordinating time with everyone. Thanks for looking into this commish!

I’ll go the other way and say I like couchmanagers so far. But, we are less than 24 hours in so assessments can change. Maybe it’s a little clunky but no more, and probably less so, than the Ottoneu draft platform. Do I check bid status too often? Yes but that’s just who I am.
-
PS, for the record...I find this quite clunky and not an enjoyable drafting experience; especially periodically checking on mobile.
-
And we have the first mistake! I did not mean to up bid on Morton; Commish, anyway to remedy the situation?
-
I think it's safer to say buyer beware and maybe on extreme circumstances look into, but it would need to be like a player has been taken hostage or something insane like that
Coke Hamels on

Maybe this just means buyer beware, and possibly to wait on bidding until games are over if possible.
-
I agree it’s tricky. Was just thinking about bidding strategy and what happens if there is an injury during the auction of that player. I’m okay if we decide “such is life,” but also thought maybe we should discuss this before it is a real thing (which at the rate people are going down, seems inevitable).
-
I feel like resetting auctions due to injuries is a tricky thing. What level of injury justifies a reset? Lux out for the season, sure. But what about a Musgrove that's out for a few weeks with a broken toe and maybe doesn't miss any regular season starts? Or someone with an oblique that's scheduled to miss 4-6 weeks... That feels hard to manage in a way that everyone agrees with. That being said, if it's something most people want, we can figure it out.
-
Also posted in the couchmanagers chat: Hypothetical: a player gets injured while the auction for that player is live. Can we undo that auction? Seems to me the 24 hour window would warrant that. Ok either way but would support such a reset if the injury occurred in that window.
-
Nevermind, didn’t see that an auction had already been started for him. Still getting the hang of this…
-
So Yoshida shows up as drafted and therefore unavailable to be nominated on the site…
-
Cool! Excited about the draft. Thanks for clarifying! Looking forward to baseball being fully back

Yep. Two nominations to each manager. You'll see in real time whether or not you are the current high bidder on someone. Only the current high bidder has their $$$ locked up in a player. So if you get outbid, you could bid higher on that player or immediately shift your money to someone else.
-
Thank you! And we each have two nominations per round? So entirely possibly we all go for same people or some players no one goes for and we can get that player for cheaper than we’d expect? Sorry new to couch so trying to fully understand

Spanky's, to answer your question - yes. If you have a $40 high bid on Degrom, someone else bids $41, and there is less than 12 hours left - that auction will have time added to it. 12 hours actually, I mistakenly wrote 8 hours in an earlier note.
-
Each team has two nominations. As soon as bidding ends on one of them, you can nominate a new player.
-
Hey this may of been clarified earlier, is it 2 nominations per round?
Coke Hamels on

Auction works like an eBay system. You can put your max bid in (make sure you do NOT select "make Max bid Real bid" button) and the system
Each team will have 2 nominations. When those players auctions are complete, you will get your nominations back. Please do your best to stay on top of your nominations when you have them.
Good luck and reach out with any questions.
-
The 2023 MLB draft has officially begun on couchmanagers (couchmanagers.com/auctions/?auction_id=471).
Please head over to the site when able and start your nominations and bidding!
-
Thanks for letting us know. Assume additional 8 gets added if I have 40 on degrom and you have 41? With less than 12 to go on auction?

Greetings! I plan to start the auction by 9a Eastern. Auctions are 24 hours and add an additional 8 hours if someone is outbid and there is less than 12 hours left on that auction. It’s helpful for everyone to stay on top of their nominations, but don’t feel like you need to log in right at 9a Eastern or be constantly checking your bids.
-
Morning from Europe fellas! A quick question as we are slated to start slow draft tomorrow. What time in est are we starting? And apologies but remind me how long the players who get auctioned stay up? Trying to plan accordingly. Thank you
-
Thanks Dream!
-
Eligibility is under rules for rosters. Section f:
https://ottoneu.fangraphs.com/rules
-
QQ. Are the positions final in otto? Forget the process if/when they update. Example Mountcastle used to be 1B/OF but now he is only 1B
-
Ok! that makes me feel better haha appreciate the clarification! Thanks Ballad! Looking forward to the draft!
