I know that I can only add 2 more players currently; however there are many more hours of bidding on those players and I may not pay anymore for them, giving me the opportunity to pick additional players. Right now my first choice is Kluber. There are a lot of players available to me to pick but he is not on that list. I just want him to be available to me!
-
I think your issue is you've already won 38 players and are currently winning 2 more with live auctions, so CM is not letting you nominate another player because it would push you above our roster limit.
-
No, he's still available to be nominated. Did you try searching in the search field as opposed to sorting by SP?
-
I have checked available to draft again. Did someone pick him up?
-
I think he’s already in the player pool. I see him when I search for him on CM.
-
I am showing Kluber as a SP for the Rays. I do not see him as available to pick up. I have checked other teams additions and don’t see him there. If I didn’t miss something can you add him as available to add. Thanks
-
Someone outbid you so it's a moot point, but I also think this probably isn't a precedent we want to set moving forward.
-
Actually it was a $3 bet. Thanks
-
I accidentally bet on Luis Matos. Can you delete that $4 bet?
-
AZ won back Mullins and I won back Woodruff after each was voted off our teams. I reduced our "money spent" by
$5 in order to apply the discount on won back players.
-
So there are two Ohtani's on CM due to his positions. Gar-Ber kept Ohtani in our game, so I'm going to end the current Ohtani auction, delete the result, and then no one nominate him again bc he's taken.
-
lol
-
Yup cause your dummy commish forgot to hit the "start auction" button. Should be good to go now! For those relatively new to CM, I'd recommend checking your setting at the bottom for any preferences you have (i.e. receive emails if you've been outbid, etc)
-
I just received an error when trying to nominate saying "This draft is not currently drafting"
-
Lastly, I will not be updating our Ottoneu rosters as we go as I believe there's also an import function at the end. Please let me know if you won back a voted off player and I will adjust the player's auction cost on your roster.
-
Alright we're ready to roll! The draft has been created, let me know ASAP of any problems you see but I used the import Ottoneu roster option that CM offers and checked our available money and roster slots against what the Ottoneu auction shows and everything matches. Here are the auction rules: each team gets 3 noms at a time (36 total noms), PLEASE continue nominating players. Once your nom'd player is won by ANY team, you will receive an additional nom. Feel free to start nominating!
-
Sorry gang, trying to do so now
-
@IRB - yes you're registered now. Bluegrass, can you join the CM draft so we can get started?
-
Please let me know if I am registered
-
@luck of Lucien, bluegrass, and Indian Rocks Beach — please join the couch managers auction draft so we can started. Password is “Ottoneu”. https://www.couchmanagers.com/auctions/?auction_id=160

Yeah, I get it. There are only 4 teams in MLB that even have any guys listed on the 60 day right now, even though there are dozens of guys who we know will be on there once the season starts (example Tyler Glasnow DTD). If Tyler Glasnow is truly DTD I will kiss my own ass. Oh well, just hang on until teams formally announce who is on the 60 day IL then start an auction to fill the spot. Since Jung was not brought up, I doubt he even makes the 60 day. leaving me with a decision to make
-
The 40 man roster includes all players Hurt, ML, etc. It the case of Jung it is an ideal situation but he is part of the 40 man (Rule wise) and u would have the option of dropping him after the draft. Anyone held on the roster in my opinion should be rostered unless a rule is in place by the league. Ottoneu rules don't allow for forgiveness due to injury or Dtd concerns. Just a heads up.

What about injured players showing up on our rosters as DTD? They should not be included in the 40. Right?
-
We can talk about if people feel a certain way, but I'm inclined to say no you can't exceed 40 because that's how the Ottoneu auction room would treat Jung.
-
Can we come out of the draft with more than 40 players? I ask because I have Josh Jung who got shoulder surgery and is going to be out all year, but still shows healthy. I assume they will update his health status eventually but they are maddeningly slow on the uptake.

Sorry it's "Ottoneu"

Alright everyone. Please join the Couch Managers draft via the link in my next message. Click any of the red "Join" links on the right. After everyone has joined, I'll upload our rosters and link them to your team and we can get started in the next few days.

Works for me

19th or 20th works for me. Thanks for getting the auction set up

19th 0r 20th sounds great. In a week I would think quite a few FA's will be signed given the shortened time periodof Spring Training. Very happy considering I didnt see an agreement happening for a while.

Yup I agree! I’m out of the country right now but I will set our draft up this coming week and we can plan to start around 3/19 or 3/20. Does that work for everyone?
-
Very Cool! Looking at the calendar, I imagine we want to start the draft sometime next week or by March 21/22 at the absolute latest. I say that based on a 14 day slow draft. I am ready anytime you guys are ready, and I want to thank the commissioners in advance for setting that up. I know it takes some time and effort. Play Ball!
-
Let’s Goooooooooooo! Baseball is back, baby!
-
Sounds good for now
-
I believe our past two slow auctions have taken about 12-14 days to complete, so I wasn't planning on starting it until mid March anyway. Hopefully we know more in the next few weeks. Let me know if that doesn't work for anyone.
-
I think holding off on the draft till the end of Feb. is a good idea especially because they plan on meeting every day next week. If nothing comes of them meeting everyday next week I have no feeling either way and will draft whenever everyone else feels is best.

If you guys are Jones'n for baseball, don't forget College ball is still happening. I am going to catch one or two of the Midland College games today and tomorrow. Midland College, former home of Tucker Davidson, GO CHAPS! Usually very small crowds, good ball, and I am sure your local boys would appreciate an audience!
-
I would like to wait until there is a resolution so that at least a portion of FA’s may have a home and that might affect how each of us decide on some of those players.
-
So, do we draft in March or wait until a resolution has been announced? Or wait until it looks like there may be a resolution? I have no opinion either way. Whenever you guys want to do it I am fine with it. I assume it will be the extended draft like last year.
-
Final reminder: the keeper deadline is tonight at 11:59pm EST / 9:59pm PST. Any player not kept must be carried on your team through the auction. After the auction, anyone may be cut for the normal penalty.
-
I vote Lock on 2/15, no penalty free cuts.
-
Ditto.
-
I’m willing to go with 2/15.
-
According to Niv's link at the top of our league page, it appears 2/15 will be the official keeper lock date. There is an option to give each team 1 round of penalty free cuts if we want to go that route (i.e. waiting where FAs land etc if that impacts your keeper selections), but my preference would be to lock with the 2/15 deadline. Does anyone feel strongly otherwise?
-
@BOP - Nope, I made this mistake last year and rightfully got called on it. The rules say "Before the end of arbitration, players may not be cut. Between the end of arbitration and the keeper deadline, players may be cut or traded. After the keeper deadline and before the auction draft, teams may not cut or trade any players."
-
Please refresh my memory. Can you still drop between the keeper deadline and the draft? Does trading stop between keeper deadline and draft?
-
I am interested in the team with the opening. How do I apply
