I'm with Bombo on this. Anything more than a day or two makes it near impossible for me to put the time and effort into making this work. If this were just drafting players, it would be one thing. But having to pay attention to an auction that is constantly being updated and having to focus on players to bid on and put up for auction would take entirely too much of my time and really busy schedule.

Yes - confirming what Santo said. My email to the league yesterday said March 1 was the goal, but we can start once everyone has signed up and the rosters are loaded, etc.

Bronx- I believe commish is shooting for 3/1 at the latest. If everyone gets in and feels good we can certainly start sooner.
Bombo- based on my experience I’d expect about week; but you shouldn’t need to pay attention for more than a few minutes a day. It will feel a lot like in season auctions.
Duran- I’m only seeing you in the dummy test auction, not the official one. Please confirm.
-
Maybe someone could let us know how long this thing typically runs? Is it days or weeks? Because I won’t be participating much if it’s more than a day or two. I guess that benefits the rest of the league.

Can someone remind me what day the auction starts..?
-
I just joined the slow draft auction room and I'm ready to go whenever we're ready to get the party started -- the sooner, the better!
-
Any the request of the commish I have created a dummy/mock draft to play around with.
It can be accessed using the password "test" at:
https://www.couchmanagers.com/auctions/index.php?auction_id=1073
I'll leave this open and running with the full player pool available for anyone interested.

Hi Owners - it took me under 5 minutes to sign up and join the draft. Want to thank Santo for helping to get us set up. As he said below, I will send out an email to the league with more information about format, timing, etc. First step is to get everyone signed up in couchmanagers. As soon as that is done, we can import rosters into this, etc. and get the draft started. Again, more instructions to follow.

Hey All, draft season is quickly approaching. Please join our league's auction here (Password is "Tax2025"):
https://www.couchmanagers.com/auctions/?auction_id=1074
You will need a CouchManagers account if you do not already have one; but you DO NOT need to pay for a subscription. Subscriptions are only required to host a draft, not participate. Please have your name reflect your team in the league; it can be adjusted via the settings pane within the auction.
-
Once everyone joins, I will get keepers uploaded into teams. The commish will follow up about start date, format, etc. as we're in the process of creating a document in regards to format, tips/pointers, etc. If you have any questions before then feel free to reach out to me via message. Looking forward to drafting!

Thats great Mark. If he wants to join the league, he first needs to join ottoneu - then all I need his is user name or email address and I can make the ownership change.

Nathan, I do know someone that would like to join our league. I’ve been in a yahoo league with him and Dave Hoffman the last few years. He’s very sharp and has won that league, so will be a worthy team owner. I worked with him at UNH, but he also worked with some of the Cargill tax people prior to their time there.

Hi Owners - unfortunately, one of the owners let me know today that they will be unable to continue in the league this year, so we are looking for a new owner. I posted on the community forum, but if you know of anyone interested, pls let me know. Team is Les Coureurs . . .

If anyone is looking to add a team, we’ve got an opening in my 4x4 daily league. Notable players include: Betts ($72), Carroll ($27), Harris ($19), Casas ($13), Willson Contreras ($11), Naylor ($10), Pena ($9), Burnes ($40), Lopez ($21), Cease ($19), G. Rodriguez ($15), Iglesias ($15), Williams ($14), Bibee ($12). If you're interested let me know; league is incredibly active and good folks, there's already been 20+ trades this offseason.

Congrats to Calvin. Was my own fault. Left 22+ IP on the table and that cost me. Note to self, don’t do that again! Was a fun year, looking forward to next year.

Wow. Was a good fight for 3rd Bombo. Shame it ended like this!
-
Sale scratched due to back spasms.
-
I’m up on Bombo by 43 points for 3rd… Only player left is Chris Sale for him tomorrow… Sale has averaged 39 points a start over his last 10 starts… Crazy close!
-
Thanks everyone for a great season. I will send out an email later today or early this week with some post season reminders.

Lastly, with CLE-HOU was outright cancelled today because it doesn’t matter, so that may have cost you if you had players from either team in your line ups today. Just unfortunate.

Thirdly, if scoring seemed a little wonky today, OF is a hard cap at 810, so it’s possible you have some points lopped off if you ended up over that. Eg I ended up at 812, so two of my OF games don’t count today.

Secondly, I’m sure you have seen that the Mets-Braves will play 2 tomorrow, and those games count. So the down-to-the-wire battle between Calvin and Bombo lives another day.

Hi Owners - I have posted on the Community forum to look for a new Manager for Group's team. If any of you know anyone who might have interest, please let me know. We've had some great new owners join the league in the past couple of years, but will miss Dan, who has been with us for over a decade.

Hi guys, I thought now would be a good time to tell you that I won't be back in the league next season. I've had a great time over the last decade-plus, but I head coach my son's baseball teams and there just isn't time to give this league the time I should.
My question to the league is whether or not I should engage in trades in the next two weeks or should I leave my team as it is? I don't want to affect league competition too much.
-
With Acuña out for the year, I think I’m best off selling. Judge is the only untouchable player. If you see any players that can help you, make me an offer.
-
Kind of a unique transaction but ultimately I can see the appeal for both sides.
-
Hit it right on the head (at least from my standpoint)…made the move with the sole intention of cutting him to create some cap flexibility both immediately and over the coming months.
-
To be clear, I'm not insinuating anything bad... just curious to hear their perspective thought processes.
-
From Santo’s standpoint it’s a way to create salary cap. From Chief’s perspective he put Chapman on the block and gets value for him. Just a creative trade.

MC was already traded? Well that was a great FA signing by the Giants …
-
So.. what’s the deal with the Matt Chapman trade?
-
Hey all, apologies for missing the draft -- I got sick yesterday and was asleep before 8. Fortunately, my roster is fairly full, so I'll close out with Free Agents.

The draft is now done - you are all free to trade, cut, add, etc. Set your rosters for March 20 for those of you w/Dodgers or Padres.

Ok -thank you Brian and Dan for showing flexibility. I pushed back the start time on the 3/18 to 9 EST/8 Central/ 6 PsT. Calvin, I hope that will work for you.

I haven't heard from the league yet, but I'll figure out something if they say no. I'm in for the 18th.
-
If Dan can make the 18th work for a live auction, let’s go with it (ideally an hour or two later than the current 6 pm CST) and I’ll try to make it work (and if I can’t, I’m okay hitting the waiver wire to complete my roster)
-
I just submitted for latest doodle. Still think we should consider slow draft given scheduling difficulties. In long run, would prevent the scheduling nightmare each season. But I’ll do live if that’s what people want. I am east coast fyi so the late start times are a bit rough.
-
Hey guys, sorry I’ve been quiet. I have been voting on dates/times though. My desire is to do this live. Date and time don’t matter as much as ‘how’. All my tools are setup for a live auction.
-
I have a trial beginning on 3/18 and it would be very difficult to join a draft that evening.
-
I'll check with the league about moving my practice from that Monday. I should have an answer early tomorrow.
-
For the two (Dan/Brian) who said no to 3/18, would starting later help? I know Group W (Dan) said he has stuff til 10pm that night, but not sure what time zone he’s in. Could a 10:30pm CT work? Not sure if we have east coasters or not…
-
I’m happy to draft next week if everyone is magically available, but I’m guessing not everyone has completed prep yet. Weekend is a bit tricky, but I could swing Thurs/Fri night.
