Time to get active and make some changes then! You must have had a plan when you dropped all that money on SP's at the draft?
-
It's just like everything else in life, things get more expensive with time. :) If you get a stud at 20 years old for $2, by the time he's 24 and hitting bombs in the show he will for sure be $6 and possibly more if other teams in the league put money on him, but he can still be a steal at $11. Most prospects only go up the $1 increase year over year. I personally like this and it keeps the league more competitive long term. Oh and by the way, you are 2-0! I hope to see you stick around.

I realized my strategy to hoard minor leaguers to build for the future is foolish. With the yearly increase in salary and the ablilty for other teams to jack up salaries on them... It's dumb to do what I am trying to do. Why do we have the yearly increase on guys who are designated MilB? It totally screws teams like mine. I have to think about the future of my tenure based on this reality. By the time my guys are ready to compete I'll have to drop many of them... It's just dumb.

A better rebuild than the Pirates ever manage!
-
I've doubled the number of wins I had all season last year!

This just in…JD (old man) Martinez has requested a fantasy trade. States that he does not want to be part of a rebuild. Management wouldn’t be expecting much back for the aging slugger but they are willing to talk! JD will mash in June
-
Have faith that Gallo can turn it around and extra cap space? Send me a trade for a cheapies reliever and he can be yours. RPs under 6 points per IP need not apply
-
Well done swampy
-
Thanks, been a fun hot start that will be hard to keep up.
-
Shout out to The Swamp for holding 7th place in the OPL League...Congrats on being in the top 10 my fellow poolie!
-
I need to create some cap room. Anyone want to trade a lower tier prospect or something for Strasburg?

I need a co owner just to tell me when to play relievers
-
The long matchup made starters tricky
-
I buggered up my starts in week one....rookie mistake
-
This team is on fire right now and it’s so hard knowing it will never have a better week. Screenshot Ted our OPL standings.
-
The urge to overreact in mid April is strong.
-
Ya think, getting murdered here
-
Geez swamp, save some points for next week
-
Wow... Shots fired from Arthurian Legends before the first pitch of the season is thrown.
-
Happy Opening Day! Make sure your lineups are set for today (and tomorrow, etc.). Remember Week 1 matchup runs April 7-17. You still only get 9 Games Started for SP even though it's a long matchup. Remember that it's daily lineup changes, SP must start in real life to get points, RP must come in relief to get points, and...I think that sums up most of the tips I have for you! Message me (or post here) with any questions or comments. Good luck to everyone! (except maybe Lightsaber Metrics :D )
-
Commish Note: I re-added Betts' $1 players because of a misunderstanding with cap penalties. Rookie mistake and he messaged quickly asking for clarification. If anyone has questions about rules/cap/penalties/cuts, let me know! I recommend reviewing the rules page for everyone because ottoenu does have some quirks other sites don't have. But once you get the hang of it, I suspect you'll fall in love with this format.
-
Let’s hope haha...now let’s get this season on the go!!!!!!!
-
Corbin is the next Robbie ray
-
That’s right Corbin for 1$ laugh it up everyone Scouts tell me he will only be half as shitty
-
For the reasons you mentioned it is…not ideal. I have faith in their health! I think. Lol.
-
Legends, how bad are you sweating DeGroms shoulder right now? You can overcome that, but with the core of your offense being Judge/Perez/Stanton, one more injury could cost you a repeat.
-
Holy crap I panicked when I pulled up my roster and saw suspended next to Tim Anderson…
-
Yeah, it's blind bid waivers. If you scroll to the bottom of the page there is a link to the Rules, and the waiver add process is under rule V. I definitely recommend everyone review the rules as we get cracking on the upcoming season (especially the new folks who joined). I am happy to answer questions that come up, though!
Basic reminders: daily lineup changes, 9 GS cap per matchup (usually a week but week 1 is longer). Top 6 records will make playoffs.
-
New to the league but I assumed that it was blind bid waivers
-
Wtf. So there are no notifications that you are outbid for FAs? That pisses me off. Just lost two guys to that bs.

I agree, the success of any leagues starts with the commish and we're lucky to have a great one. This league will thrive 👊👍
-
I 2nd that comment A Love
-
sweet! good luck everyone! @Arthurian youve done a great job taking over as commish. Your on top of things!
-
Basically: the season is officially underway for transaction's
-
Cuts can be made now! Cap Penalties will apply according to rules. Trades can be made. Auctions can be started! Review rules as needed or ask questions here. I will fix the Nick Martinez issue when I get a second.
-
Looks like we are missing Nick Martinez
-
Looks like error might be on Swamp (just based on numbers). I am unable to check right now, but I can look into it later tonight or you all can let me know what errors you see!
-
Rosters are all uploaded! Double check you have the correct roster size and players. The import said there was 1 "bad data" but didn't tell me what it was, so...definitely double check!
-
Here’s the discord link for the new guys: https://discord.gg/UDCxxmFa

10-4
-
It won’t. Because of the 12 hour bid reset, it just will continue to run.
-
What time does the draft freeze again for the night?
-
Cuts should NOT be going through. Not sure what happened in the settings. Do not make any cuts yet. They have to wait until the draft is complete and everything is uploaded. Post draft, cuts can be made.
-
Thank you !!
-
Draft is live everyone! Head on over to Couch Managers for the first of many many trips this week. :D
Problem #1: Looks like CouchManagers treats Ohtani as 2 people. There is one "available" in this auction. He CANNOT be drafted (already owned by Betts/wakeford). So **Ohtani cannot be nominated** Anyone nominating him will have the nomination removed. (I can't figure out how to just delete the extraOhtani from CouchManagers)
-
You've done an awesome job. And I can't wait to start. Going to be fun! Haven't been this excited for baseball season in a long time. ⚾️
-
Yeah sorry. I forgot the time was set in there months ago, so it's been displaying the wrong time. Total coincidence that we picked the same day that was picked a while ago.
But yes LOG IN TO COUCH MANAGERS TOMORROW AND GET READY FOR DRAFT FUN.
Any other questions before we start tomorrow? Between new commish, new players, and 2nd year, I haven't anticipated all the wrinkles that might come up. :D
-
Ok so it starts at 8an eastern tomorrow morning and not 7pm. Good to know. Thank you
-
It's a slow draft on Couch Managers. I'm setting it to open at 8 a.m. tomorrow so that tomorrow during the day first bids can start rolling in.
-
Does the draft start tomorrow at 7pm eastern? Not sure why you said it's open tomorrow morning?
