sweet, thanks.
-
done!
-
Hey, I also somehow didn't get Manuel Machado put on my team even though I won the auction for $3 (See player 195). Can you add him to my team?
-
Help says coin flip
-
What's the tiebreaker for the blind auction bidding? Is there one?
-
To start an auction: Click on Free Agents in the top bar, find the player you want, click on "Free Agent" by their name and then "Start auction" on their profile. Don't forget to enter your own bid.
-
Sabr, there's no way to give you a "window" without getting everyone in the room to sit there and watch you pick. I'm going to open up the 48-hour auctions, and you can nominate players and put in bids along with everyone else.
-
sorry if i held up the draft start. was also commuting from chicago and completely missed everything. any way i could get a small window to build my team before you all feast on them?
-
Shall I start the 48 hour auctions?
-
I've found a way to start the draft at 6:30. We will go on as originally planned.
-
rather confused. we are NOT starting at 630EST?
-
I got less drunk than I expected last night, so I actually woke up later. I'm really sorry, but it's going to be 8:30 or 9 EST by the time I get back. I'll get on as soon as you can, but I won't start if people are missing. Really sorry.
-
If we can't finish tonight, there's a new option explained in the second paragraph here: http://www.fangraphs.com/fantasy/index.php/ottoneu-improvements/ - "You can even do a live auction for part of the league, and then switch to the 48-hour auctions..."
-
You can also go to "Sortable Stats" up in the top menu and sort by $ value. Hard to find the minor leaguers and prospects though.
-
go into the auction and use the list on the left. last player the first day was latos, i believe.
-
So, since I missed a giant chunk of the draft, is there a GOOD way to see everyone who has been taken, other than looking at everyone's rosters and buliding my own list?
-
I got so excited I almost exploded my appendix. I'll try to stay calmer on Sunday :P
-
Carlos, we're starting at 6:30 EST. However, I'm traveling that day, so it's possible I'll be late. I'll post on here what time I leave Chicago and estimate what time I'll be ready to go.
-
I don't think we finalized a time on Sunday, right? 7:00 PM EST? 8? What works best? I know one manager wasn't available until 6:30 at the earliest, so we should finalize a time a few days in advance so we're all ready and on the same page.
-
I just Googled "Raelian" to find out what it was. Cosmic, man!

As we talked about during our last round, let's pick the auction back up again on Sunday, say at 6:30. You can't actually start without me, so I apologize if I'm late. I'll post here when I'm leaving Chicago.
-
3rd session on Sunday works for me...objections?
-
there is a fangraphs app, but it's just stats access, no fantasy or even writing
-
no app that i know of. just browser. fangraphs has a mobile site, but it doesn't look like there's any mobile auction room.
-
SabrTooth - is there a fangrapghs app, or do you just use your browser?
-
I should be able to go as late as needed tonight. But I still think it could take 6-8 hours to completely knock out the rest of it. Let's get far enough that we can finish in a third session.
-
I agree. I'm ready to hammer as much out as possible tonight. I think it will go quicker now that people are a little more accustomed to the format. And of course the dollar amounts will be lower.
-
i can go as late as people want tonight. in fact, that would be my preference to go as long as we can today and knock it out. i'm getting anxious.
-
Tonight I could go longer than 10 if we can swing it w/ everybody. Sunday night might work based on what you guys are saying, as well, I'd be up for putting time in then as well.
-
i did the last on my phone. Pain in the ass. Ddin't refresh, and it felt like I was always seconds behind everything. For instance, I clicked raise bid on Nolasco at $12, and it ended up bidding at $18.

(cont.) if i absolutely have to, i can use my phone. the draft doesn't work perfectly on it, though; i can't scroll through my watchlist or the previously selected list. and who knows how the actual auction works without one running right now.
-
i'm going to be out of town from thursday at about 10pm through sunday at about 4. i really couldn't have a third session any earlier than 5 or 6 sunday.
-
I'm also available to go past 10ET if that somehow works out. After that, how about a long draft window this Sunday? Personally I'm available at any time for any # of hrs (though preferably not too early so I can sleep off the night before a bit).
-
my team is going to be the fantasy baseball equivalent of the miami heat: a handful of the best players in the league, and NOBODY else of note.
-
And I won't be available 11 or 12. I can go as late as necessary Wed, but someone said they're done at 10EST. I can do Thursday, after 6EST as late as you want. Then no one has yet said unavailable Mon 14th, so maybe then.
-
just a heads up, i agree with Queen City, as I won't be available from March 15-19
-
Awesome, glad we got a response. Luckily, you didn't miss that many players (only 10% of the total roster space).
-
Fantastic Schpiel! Welcome aboard!
-
Sorry I missed the back and forth on drafting - I frankly didn't realize this league was heating up already. I'm in and committed. Wednesday and 8:30 eastern works for me.
-
(Cont'd from below) ... Otherwise it's going to take weeks and unfortunately I am unavailable March 17-26. That said, I had a great time Sunday and can't wait til this thing gets going!
-
Also, a couple thoughts on drafting... I know it's tough and maybe impossible to get everyone together for more than 2-3 hours, but I think at some point we need to have a pretty substantial chunk of time devoted to drafting this league.
-
I don't know exactly how it would work, but if you message the ottoneu email they are usually really helpful and could probably work something out. I'll ask a couple friends if they'd be interested.
-
is it that easy to replace a team? how would we do that?
-
24 hours of no response from Schpiel. Anyone have any friends they can convince to join?
-
I'll make it work out here. Personally, it would be easier for me if we did this during work hours:-)

I emailed Schpiel last night, no response yet. Did someone mention they could only go til 10EST Wednesday? What time can WCers start?
-
There's tons of great players out there still... hopefully some for cheaper :P
-
Well, it is part of the game. But another strategy, which might bite me royally in the ass, is to let several teams take themselves out by spending too much. We'll see
