agree. I don't have a good way to do it other than eyeballing lineups, was wondering if anyone else figured out an elegant approach
-
I haven't yet - though I'll probably get my act together later on this week. "Previews" are hard though given how we can platoon and play matchups.
-
has anyone looked through the rosters in any meaningful way to generate any kind of preview?

-
Hey GIGANTE - shoot me a text at (937) 546-8925 if you can and we can work out the details. Thanks!
-
Yeah I had already agreed to proxy for Blue Crew for tonight, but now that there might be a need for a full on replacement I would love to join the league. So if someone could replace me as Blue Crew's proxy just for tonight (Sun is set), I could take over for Speed wagon.
-
Just to be clear. A proxy is just a fill-in for the draft? Would this also be for Sunday if we don't finish? My father is in the other league with Tim and I and he might be a little tight getting back home for 8pm, but he said if you can't get anyone else he will do it. Although I can't say for sure about Sunday.

Also, thanks ELGIGANTE for the efforting!
-
Speed wagon will draft and participate if we cannot find a replacement. One of our proxies for Tim said he would be the replacement if we could find a new proxy for tomorrow night. So, in essence, we are looking to find either (a) a new Friday night proxy or (b) a new owner. But even if we fail on both counts we are still good to go. We are reaching out in the Slack community in an effort to fill one of those roles. But, moral of the story, we are still on.
-
We are still on for tomorrow.
-
so are we still on for tomorrow? Or are we still looking for filler teams?
-
Sorry Ryan. I asked two guys who like to do a lot of fantasy and don't mind joining late, but neither can do it.

All - I've posted on Slack to see if we can find someone. If anyone has a friend or moderately intelligent enemy who also happens to really like baseball please let me know. We're still good to go this weekend, but we can do a team swap if need be.
-
Do any of you know anyone who would be willing to replace me in the league? I really don't want to leave - but I had wrote about my issue Fri. night before and added to that is my alma mater is playing Fri. night during the draft and, potentially, Sun. during the draft. I have no interest in having a proxy draft. I'll still be there if no replacement (you don't have to worry about me not showing or not being fully engaged) - but, at this point, I'd rather someone else take my team. Thanks.
-
Hey all, we were able to get coverage for Tim on both Friday and Sunday, so we're good to go. Almost there...
-
For ease of finding me: beckryac at gmail dot com
-
If you're comfortable with it, would you folks mind emailing or private messaging me your cell phone numbers? They'd be handy to have if there are any draft issues. I would text only, and only if necessary. If you aren't cool with it, there's no need to send. Thanks fellas, we're almost there!
-
One week until draft day - enjoy these last few days of prep!
-
Ah....Found it. Thanks for the quick response.
-
Thanks for posting Bob. Everyone else: read what he wrote, then do that.

Yes, if you click on the Auction Draft link on the top menu, it will launch the draft application. From there you can search players and hit the "W+" next to there name to add them to your watch list for the draft. Doing this before the draft for draft targets will greatly assist when trying to find players to nominate.
-
I have a link titled "Auction Draft" at the top of the page. I thought everyone could see it, but I could be wrong (I'm a commissioner, which grants me super magical powers and extra links). If you can't see it, it's possible I lied to you in my prior message.

Where do I go to load my players? I'm sure it's right in front of me, but I can't seem to find it. Thanks...
-
As to the draft discussion, the most important thing you can do is BE READY TO NOMINATE. Don't let the nomination clock tick down on you. Have your player queue filled (I believe you can even start doing that now) and ready to roll. Draft day is looming and I hope everyone's draft prep is going well!
-
Kevin/Jamie - your Slack invite request has been sent and you should hear back shortly (the admin has to create the invite). Let me know if you don't hear anything back. For anyone else interested in Slack, you need only send a request for an invite to ottoneutrades at gmail dot com.
-
Hey folks, I've been away from a computer all day. I should be able to get to the Slack requests later on tonight.
-
In addition I'd say another subtle way to increase the speed of the draft is make sure you don't skip your nomination. It lets you have up 45 seconds (I think) to nominate, so if you skip everyone is waiting and then it resets for the next person. I noticed this happened quite a bit in my other draft. I don't know if it was intentional or not, but it eats up a lot of time when people aren't nominating.
-
I actually haven't done an Ottoneu draft from scratch (which was part of the appeal of joining this league). But I did a draft a couple weeks ago for my other league and it took over 3 hours and I only needed 14 players, so 8 for a full roster seems about right to me.
-
The last time I started a new Ottoneu league, the initial draft took about 8 hours spread across two days. It can move a bit faster if everyone has a full queue of players and starts nominations at realistic prices (I.e. Not starting Trout at $1 opening bid).

Hi, could you send the slack invite to my email? Not sure if I've posted it on here yet for everyone else but it's jamie_steed@hotmail.co.uk (creative I know). Also, just a quick question as I've not done an Ottoneu draft before, but roughly how long does the first draft take? It's starting midnight my time so it's no issue but wanted to guage how much coffee and red bull I should buy this week?
Cheers

Interested. Do you need my email?
-
Anyone interested in joining the Slack community that hasn't done so? Let me know and I'll get an invite sent your way.
-
I do know: it's the order you joined. So nomination order is:
1) Black Magic Ballclub
2) If you D’artaud
3) Down and Away
4) Blue Crew
5) Babip, Pecota
6) EL GIGANTE
7) Speedwagon II
8) The Only Nolan
9) Mccutchen this champ
10) WARHorse
11) All In Fair Warned
12) Bob Loblaw
If you took over a pre-existing team, you have that team's spot.
-
Not that it's a big deal, but do you have any idea about the nomination order?
-
Well look at that, Niv fixed it so that it automatically links. Anyway, I am getting pumped about the draft (8:00pm, Friday, March 27th). If anyone has any questions between now and then, please feel free to e-mail me at beckryac at gmail dot com. I'll be in touch shortly before the draft with some reminders and notes. Happy March!

Greetings! Sorry for the delayed response on joining the Slack community. It's invite only, so you'll have to email OttoneuTrades@gmail.com for an invite (he's the manager of the community). You can learn more about Slack here:
https://ottoneutraderumors.wordpress.com/2015/01/08/ottoneucommunity-on-slack-com/
AND here:

Sorry for the lack of hyperlink, but this is a "dead simple" board.

McCutchen, it's been 2 months since I signed up but I know I used my yahoo email address. I don't think you have to have an @ottoneu.com email for Slack.
