Greetings all! Just a reminder that our draft is set to start promptly at 9:00pm EST this Thursday, March 24. Please note the new rule for this year regarding player nominations: failing to nominate a player will automatically mark you as “finished” with the draft. That means you will be unable to nominate or otherwise draft ANY player once you miss a nomination. So…don’t miss. I look forward to “seeing" you all in a few days!

Welcome to @keefsmitty who has graciously agreed to join in the fun of The Show. He's in four other ottoneu leagues and has decided to take on Yo Adrian...Beltre (though, I'm assuming we'll see a new name soon). He'll be making some cuts here shortly, free of charge. Again, welcome and thanks!
-
If anyone has someone who might be interested please let me know in the next 24 hours or so. Otherwise I’ll post to Slack generally. His team hasn’t lapsed into “abandoned” yet, and I’d like to have someone in place before it does. I’m hoping he’s just been away and will be back.
-
Just an FYI - we might have an opening. Yo Adrian…Beltre is the only team that has yet to pay his league dues (they were due on Saturday). He’d indicated he was participating and I texted with him as recently as last Thursday with him indicating he’d pay on Friday. He hasn’t paid yet and hasn’t responded to the last couple of texts. I’d like to add someone who is either (a) on Slack and/or (b) familiar to someone already in the league.
-
Based on the responses received, the draft date has been set for Thursday, March 24 starting at 9:00pm eastern. Get excited!
-
All, please complete the following survey regarding draft format, date, and time: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/K3HBBDH - an e-mail with a link to that survey has also been sent. Additionally, please fill out the doodle at the link posted by WARHorse (thanks Jed!). While we will do our best to accommodate everyone's preferences, we will serve the majority in the best way possible. Lastly, please pay your league dues - several of you are now past-due! Thanks for your understanding and action!
-
I created a Doodle schedule poll to see what dates people are available to draft. There are no tiimes listed -- I figured we could narrow down to potential dates first, then figure out times separately. Please fill out as soon as you can. http://doodle.com/poll/qxnheh3k2bewwfh5

I am looking into the site now to see if it can meet our needs. If you want to see what an auction on the site looks like (generally) you can go here: http://www.couchmanagers.com/auctions/?auction_id=18 If anyone has a problem with doing something like this, please let me know.
-
I've done slow auctions before, and I love the process. It could be a little messy to do it for ottoneu though, needing to keep track of specific team keepers/budgets and then manually importing rosters. What happened to our tentative auction date?
-
The general idea would be that there would be a handful of players nominated at any given time. Auctions would be open for some period - say 12 hours or so - and people could bid during that period. Any bid with two minutes or so remaining would kick the time period to respond out another 2 minutes.
-
Given everyone's schedule, I'm looking into a possible slow, online auction that we could conduct. I believe couchmanagers.com runs those, but I want to make sure it would suit our needs. Assuming the cost isn't too stupid, I'll cover any fee. If anyone has used couchmanagers or has significant problems with this, just let me know.
-
Ryan and I are discussing auction dates. Do you guys prefer weekend or weekday?

Hello! A quick announcement: team Paul Bunyan has a new owner (again!). Shank decided he didn’t have enough time for two leagues - something about having a real life or some such nonsense - so mreshke has stepped in to take his place. He’s an ottoneu vet himself and the team remains in good hands.
-
Correct - it is tomorrow (Sunday) night. Early Monday morning for our British friends.
-
Ryan, you said the deadline is midnight on the 31st which is in 7.5 hours. Just confirming, it is actually 11:59 PM on the 31st. (Tommorow night)
-
That is good value. All I can get for $50 here in CA is a bump of meth and a handy from the guy behind the liquor store. Ahhh...is what I've heard.
-
You can also mail your payment to me - cash only - and I will totally not spend it on loose women and booze. $50 goes a long way here in Ohio.
-
Ryan, thanks for the assistance on paying. I'm having a slight issue. What's the cc # again?
-
This is the link to the user dashboard: http://ottoneu.fangraphs.com/userdashboard
-
No worries. Click on the Ottoneu banner and it will take you out to the user dashboard. To the right of where our league is listed you will see a link to renew. Let me know if you have any trouble.

Sorry for the stupid question, but I don't recall what the payment process was last year. How do we do so?

3) A few of you still need to pay your league entry fee. The date for that payment varies slightly by person, but they're all within the next few weeks. YOU MUST PAY YOUR FEE BY THE DEADLINE OR YOU WILL AUTOMATICALLY LOSE YOUR TEAM. So, you know, pay up. Don't leave us with some random jerk. We much prefer the jerks we have here.
-
2) The trade deadline is at the same time as the cut deadline above. Trades entered into before midnight on Sunday will go through. No trades are permitted after the deadline passes. Any players you acquire via trade after midnight eastern tonight will not be able to be cut.
-
Just wanted to send out a couple of quick reminders:
1) The cut-deadline is midnight eastern standard time this Sunday, January 31. Any players you want to cut MUST be cut before that time in order to avoid any cap penalties. In order to participate in the draft you must have at least one roster spot available (under 40) and at least $1 available (under $400) per open roster spot.

Ryan Zimmerman just sent me a text: "So glad to be free, former employer such a tool". I don't endorse that sentiment of course, but he definitely seemed pissed.

Denard Span was mistakenly added to Yo Adrian Beltre at $9 following the trade last week, instead of the $8 it was supposed be. Just changed it, to let you know.

My $17 Cespedes is on the block. Primary return would have to be solid UTIL bat. I'm always open to creative ideas though. You can reach me on Slack @beckryac or by text at 9375468925.

Denard Span should go to Yo Adrian Beltre, once trade between Chicago Orphans and myself goes through.
