Can speak for certain, but the draft I did last year, there wasn't a position difference issue, but cant speak for certain
-
It's pretty basic but seems easy enough to understand. Other league manager brought up that position eligibility on Couch Managers is not the same as Ottoneu. Might wanna keep that in mind when drafting

TBD messaged separately and brought up a valid point. Let's start Wednesday March 6th. That means we should finish Friday March 15th or Saturday March 16th. I can then upload rosters and everyone has 2-3 days to double check and make sure all is set for the season come March 20th. If no objections or concerns, I will kick off the process next week. Be on the look for a not in the league chat on logging into couch managers.

Hi all been a busy at work so will look to get couch managers details setup and out the door next week. I want to confirm some draft date timing. I expect the draft to take about 10 days (that is what happened in my other league last year). With that said we have the first set of games in Korea Mar 20-21. To give ourselves some cushion I suggest the draft to start Friday Mar 8th. We can see some spring training, potential injuries, and enough cushion for the games on 20,21. Thoughts? Issues?
-
Thanks TBD! I’ll plan to send an a note out sometime in middle of February. Am thinking to shoot for a draft start date first week of March. Any issues with that? Reminder as slow draft players will be around for 24 hours (with additional rules if someone outbids). Anyways I’ll reach out soon
-
Hey league Spanky’s Crew 2.0 is going to head up the slow draft. Please keep your eye on the message board as we will need to do a few extra steps to get going. We will confirm everyone is setup and understands the way it works before starting it which most likely will be in a couple weeks.

Last season is when it mattered most and it paid off in the sum of 8 gazillion dollar contract that somehow counts for $1 against their cap. Stupid dodgers

Same here, won't be a major factor in draft anyway

I'm cool with a slow draft or a live one

Yeah I wanted to make sure everyone renews before setting a date. That timeline makes sense and think we are fine to do the slow draft. Specific date obviously a bit less important to lock in if we are going that way; which again I think we will try out this year.

Realize cuts are tomorrow but I know my other league is already scheduling the draft. @Commish - TBD we good to move forward with couch managers and slow draft? I heard a few back and forth but nothing totally against it. If so, i'd suggest we shoot to have a draft date of first week in March. First games are in south korea on 3/20 and 3/21

Austin Riley has reported to camp "In the best shape of his life".

Riley is very disappointed in these leagues lack of fair interest in him. We will be keeping him for him to reenact revenge during the season.

We won’t be allocating money this far into the off-season sorry

Live or Slow draft either is fine for me. I have never slow drafted before so I am interested in trying. Anywho - any chance you guys want to give the new people a chance to spend our arbitration money? Seems unfiar to have what 75$ not allocated?
-
My preference is also for a live draft, but this does seem easier to schedule.
-
Either way, probably won't be drafting, I like my roster as it is for now.
-
I'd honestly prefer live as I don't think it'll take that long for a live one, however saying that we're all in different time zones and it may be quite difficult to get a time and date that we're all open to.
-
Couch manager works for me, anyone opposed to a slow draft.

As teams continue to bid below $50 (e.g., $40) my bid will continue to be the high bid. Couch managers automatically raises a players bid by $1. In example above I would be winning the Juan Soto bidding at $1. Other than that here are some below links for you to reference. If no issues with slow draft I have asked TBD to start considering some dates in the middle to end of February so we can have our teams set come early March.
-
If someone outbids the current bid within the final 8 hours the clock will reset once the 8 hours is up. Note: this can be unlimited but usually goes quick because either a team does not have the necessary funds to keep bidding or doesn't want a player for long. As part of couch managers you can set your high bid amount. For example, if I want Juan Soto and am only willing or able to spend $50 on him I can input my max bid as $50.
-
An explanation of slow draft and couch managers (Please note: I am providing an explanation based off how a slow draft was performed in my other league. There is the potential for change but this approach worked quite well). A slow draft is one focused over 2-3 weeks. From couch managers perspective, each team has ability to nominate 2 players at a time and that player will be up for nomination for 24 hours. You won't be able to nominate another player until your players have been drafted
-
Hi all. The commish asked me to send over an explanation and some links for slow draft so those of you who are unfamiliar can get a sense and we can determine if that works for the league. I think it makes sense so bear with the long explanation and let me know if questions:
-
I’ve never done it but super open to it

My two cents, Couch manager is excellent for slow drafts
-
In another league we do a slow draft vs a day. Via a site called couch managers. I prefer it to a one day draft just because allows for more flexibility. I’d suggest that if possible
-
Welcome to our new league members. I’d like to do it as close to the season as possible so please message me if particular days or times are no good for you to draft.

Hey everyone, I am really sorry for the inconvenience, but I have realized that I am not going to be able to be an active member of the league this year. I don't want to be the guy who never sets his lineup or responds to trades, and this league seems like it is pretty intensive, so I am going to withdraw and let you guys find someone who will be more competitive. Sorry again!

Trading Julio or Jram but looking for a big package. Hit me up if interested

We will have to wait to see who all renews I haven’t heard from a couple owners

I don't think it's active yet. I believe it will be through a link on the prize tracker site. When I went to the HH thing Viv mentioned there's this new payment system. I believe he was more focused on getting payments for Fantasy Basketball and Football up, so I'd have to imagine withdrawing will be next. So it's right now TBD TBD ;)

Has anyone figured out how we get paid?

Looking foward to a repeat next year 😉. I'm a Mets fan so I need to have my success in fantasy as real life MLB isn't as kind to me haga.

Great season ya'll was super fun. To follow up TBD. Yea, I live in the area so was only like a 30 min commute. Meetup was very small (it rained very heavy that day). Niv (Creator) was super cool, kept bringing out buckets of beer all afternoon. Was super interested in hearing feedback and requests for future enhancements for the site.
