Hey meat you said you’re up for some moves. Check your pending trade offers. :)
-
Lol, thanks
-
Uhhh, I think the guy that posted before you is interested. Allow me to introduce you two...
-
I'm ready to build for next year if anyone is interested
-
I know. There is some luck to that though. And the scary thing about the H2H is one bad week in the playoffs and that regular season record means nothing. I’m just trying to shore up my weak areas and am willing to part with good players to possibly help another team for the next several years. Trading season is here :)
-
You are 15-1!
-
I am looking for SP and RP for the playoffs. I have a surplus of OF and prospects that I can package in the right deal. If you are looking to next year please reach out. I am open to trading anyone if it makes me better for this year.
-
Have a great trip!
-
Just an FYI I am going to be hiking and have no internet connection until Friday....if you send me a message or a trade causes my roster to become illegal I'll take care of it before games resume next weekend, Cheers!
-
Thunder Gun...been doing a little roster remodeling lately?
-
Needed to change my team name to recognize the incredible athlete that Ohtani is.
-
Witt Jr. , Austin Martin, Heliot Ramos, among others are available for win now players. If you are rebuilding I am buying players that can help this year.
-
Escobar did the same thing after I cut him. Just what he does apparently
-
....Says the guy that is 6-0 and scoring 800 pts a game!
-
I think I am going to regret cutting Escobar 😬
-
Looking for SP. Willing to move any position player not named Soto or Ohtani right now.
-
Well I guess we know the league consensus value of Carlos Rodon :)
-
Line ups have been unlocked
-
Any idea when the schedule will be submitted and we can set our lineups? I know there is time but just ready to get going :)
-
I have a surplus of OF and looking to add SP. also in need of back up SS. If you need an OF hit me up.

Everybody should be receiving an email with an invite to the auction sometime today. The slow auction will work as follows: each player will be auctioned for a initial period of 12 hours. Every time there is a new high bidder, the clock will reset to 8 hours if currently below that mark. There will be up to 25 players being auctioned at a single time. This setup should allow every owner to have the opportunity to bid on every player, regardless of time zone or work/scheduling conflicts.
-
For anybody who hasn't already joined the slack channel or didn't get the invite, you can also use this link: https://join.slack.com/t/centerfieldof-uwm1420/shared_invite/zt-lwglwgy8-TP00AN6era7ICwW24HL1hg

I’ll be joining slack as well probably Monday. Nice to see everyone and excited to get the season started!! Stoked that so many seem to be interested long-term.
-
I suggest everybody set their Display Name to their Team Name. So we know who is who and to avoid confusion.
-
I've created a Slack channel and sent everybody in the league an invite.
-
Hi all - I just joined yesterday and hopefully have one friend willing to get in also. Also I agree on the Slack channel. I've found the leagues I'm in that cultivate conversation outside of the main message board are the most fun and keep long lasting members.
-
Sorry to pile on, but in the thought of trying to make this league last - I've always found having a Slack Channel as being helpful for league announcements, rule discussions, trade talks, etc.... Just another idea
-
Welcome aboard! Yes, a slow auction through couchmanagers is still the plan. Once the final two spots fill, I'll send out the specific details regarding the draft.
-
Hey guys, found this league and I’m excited to play. Want something that will last for years down the road. Was reading the league board and is couchmanagers still the way of doing the draft this year? I’m fine with whatever. Looking forward to playing with you all!

There are a couple of people that should be joining in the next day. The most important thing is making sure the league fills though, so you are welcome to reach out to anybody you know who might be interested.
-
Anyone have any ins on potential owners? I could ask some people from my other leagues, but don’t want to seem biased.
Could post in the fantasy baseball subreddit too.
-
It is free to register on couchmanagers.com, so you can look there and find out more information about how the slow auction works. But if anyone has any questions, feel free to ask and I am happy to explain what I have learned.
-
Yes, the normal first year draft takes around 8 hours. In the past I have always split that over at least two days. It is still difficult though to make sure everybody is available for that length of time. After looking at couchmanagers in further detail, I am convinced that this is the way we should run our auction. This is what we are going to plan to use unless someone has any reasonable objections.
-
If it costs $3 I'm happy to pay as well. I've heard first year drafts can take 6-8 hours, so if there's a way to avoid that I'm open to it. I'd still prefer the normal draft process...maybe in 2 parts, but whatever. the group decides I'm game with.
-
Yeah it's only 3 bucks. I was worried about just organizing everyone to pay it more than the amount, but looks like only one of us needs to actually pay. It looks good, we've just never used it. We're gonna play with it and get back to you soon. We really appreciate the suggestion and are willing to try anything that might make the draft / league more accessible and fun for everyone.
-
Ah, I think it’s like $3? Check it out to see if it’s worth it. What are the clock options for the ottoneu?
And everyone just needs to sign up before hand, haven’t had problems.
-
In fact, I just signed up and the custom auction option isn't even a free feature, or am I missing something?
-
Welcome! We're also tired of the leagues stopping after one year, which is why we started this one ourselves at this price point. Hopefully (most) everyone sticks around. Not opposed to using couchmanager, but one thing I notice at first is that everyone will have to register at that site just to participate in this site's draft. Have you ever had an issue organizing that in this respect?
-
If it gives a way to slow draft for the auction, I'm definitely interested. The interface here is fine, but it is a pain to make sure everyone is available for the entire time it takes for the startup draft. I'll check it out. Thanks!
-
It's an option for a "slow draft" that's pretty seamless. I'm not familiar with fangraphs, but every new start league I've been in has used couchmanagers - it makes auctioning off hundreds of players somewhat manageable
-
Welcome to the league! I've never used couchmanagers. I've always just used the ottoneu interface. I'm willing to look into it though if it's something you recommend.
-
Hi just joined - looking forward to getting started, sick of joining leagues and having them disband after a year - hopefully, this one sticks.
How are we doing the draft this year? Couchmanagers?
-
Haha sorry...I hit the "send" button twice thinking it didn't go through the first time. Guess it works! I wasn't part of a league that disbanded. I've run across a few other TLM teams so must be a different owner with similar tastes in TV shows (The Office)!
-
Is there an echo in here?
-
Welcome! Happy to have you in. Were by chance in an Otto league last year that disbanded? I feel like I recognize your team name from another league lol

Hey guys, just joined the league. Been playing Otto for a few seasons now and definitely still learning...but looking forward to trying a brand new one!

If you guys look on the homepage of the league it isn't showing everyone yet, but if you click the tools button in the top right next to "Trade" then it will take you to a page that shows all five of us are present. Don't worry. :) And again, when it fills, we'll take suggestions on precise settings, draft date, and everything else. Welcome everyone!
-
Anybody else who knows any interested parties is welcome to invite them as well.
