Screwed that up. Made a draft and not an auction. I had to change it. New link:

My apologies.

OK. I need everyone to sign up for the auction. Go to https://www.couchmanagers.com/mock_drafts/index.php?draftnum=46195 Password: baseball
Click "Join" on the right hand side. Please name your team as close as possible to the name in the league. As you populate the auction, I will update your rosters.
-
OK. We are down to 1. Poof. I'll email him soon and get everything lined up for Sunday.
-
Im good with Sunday.
-
Thanks to everyone for getting back to me. I'm still waiting to hear from Krushers, Poof, and Holy Owned. I'll send them a person email later today if they don't contact me soon. I'll update the rosters on Couch Managers tonight and tomorrow. Cross your fingers that we're ready to roll on Sunday. If we have to push it back a day or two that's fine. The first couple of rounds will be extra slow (12-24 hour auction times) and then we can speed up as we become used to the format again.
-
I’m good as well.
-
Sunday would be good.
-
I'm good to draft anytime, thanks
-
Well, that's 3 of us! Lol. I will begin sending out DMs to owners to weigh in on the auction start date. Still, I'd really like to start the draft sooner rather than later, and I want to make sure I have as close to 100% participation as possible. So, if you haven't responded back on the message board or in a PM, expect a message from me soon.
-
This weekend sounds good to me.
-
I'm good with starting the auction on Sunday.
-
My apologies. Sunday 2/28.
-
This weekend could be the beginning of the 2021 auction. I was going to import our teams into couch managers shortly. Can we agree to starting the auction in Sunday 2/29?
-
Welcome aboard. You’re right-Josh has some nice, young talent. Hopefully he can build a nice second place team behind mine. 😆 We are filled. I’m still looking at a March 1 start date for our auction. Any objections to that? Could start on Sunday 2/28 if we want to start on a weekend. No problems there. Happy Spring Training everyone! The 3 feet of snow in Chicago doesn’t feel as bad now that I can hear the pop of the leather in Arizona and Florida.
-
Evening folks! Josh here, taking over for Emmanuel Clase. Not a lot of star power but looks like a good young team is brewing. Looking forward to a fun (and hopefully full) season
-
Sadly, we lost an owner over night. I’ll come to the league first-do you know anyone interested in taking on this challenge? I’ll give us until the end of this weekend to find someone and then I’ll head into the Ottoneu board looking for a new owner.
-
Spring Training will begin next Wednesday. It also appears MLB will have a full season. If you haven't, please be aware of the rule adjustments for the 2021 MLB season: doubleheader length, DH use in the NL, and other potential alterations. I propose using Couch Managers again and beginning the auction on March 1st. That would give us a couple of weeks of ST for teams to finish signing players, and we will have a realistic idea of rosters.
-
If I read right the latest proposal by MLB to the players association was for a start on spring training games in late March, with real games by late April. That proposal wasn’t accepted but I imagine some version of it will eventually. I agree start that after the start of spring training games makes the most sense for start of slow draft but who knows when that might be.
-
Good morning-All cuts and trades have been processed. Now on to setting up our draft/auction. I assume everyone is good with doing the slow auction again. We just need to agree on a start date. I would like to wait until Spring Training officially begins-so maybe March 1 is a good starting point for an auction. All thoughts and suggestions would be appreciated.
-
Cut:
Ramos, Alfaro, Severino, Aguilar, Gurriel, Wong, Solano Camargo, Carpenter, Dahl, Cain , Verlander, Hendricks, Tanaka, Matz, Alcantara , Greene, Losiaga, Ottovino, Newcomb
-
Thanks for understanding. It was an honest mistake. Not trying to get one over on anyone.
-
Poof-I sent you a personal message-please reply ASAP. I'll take care of it.
-
Well, I came on to cut my players at 11:12 CT. Evidently the deadline was Eastern Time. I live Central Time zone and did not know this. Can I cut players?
-
Happy cut day! Looks like we have 100% participation the past 2-3 days. Just remember-cuts are due by 11:59pm ET TONIGHT!
-
Good morning. Please review the following this week: 1. The keeper deadline is jan 31. Cut any players w/o penalty this week. 2. If you haven’t already, be sure to renew your team.
-
Let me know what players interest you from my team. Message me the players and I’ll look to see if anything works.
-
Don't forget: This is the last weekend of Arbitration. Must use all your money. Take the 15ish minutes and try to get this done. It will improve the health of the league. Stay safe out there everyone!
-
Thank you! I was not sure if my team had enough left in the tank to close it out. I'm happy we were able to have this shortened season, at least. And, like Chance said, hopefully we can have something close to normal for 2021.
-
Congrats! That was quite the race to watch the last week. Well earned. Arbitration begins on October 15. Arbitration is a great way to create balance in the league. I hope that we have a great and busy off-season and baseball in April.
-
Congrats Ka' - that was quite an impressive last month to pull out the win. Looking forward to an active off-season and something close to normal for next year's season.
-
I’m selling! Make your offers. Looking for players to keep for next year.
-
Hi all! The 2020 season begins in some form on July 23. Who knows how long this thing will last? In any event, I hope that everyone is healthy and safe. I'd love to have everyone be able to participate in this new, weird, and abbreviated season. Good luck out there! Stay safe.
-
Got it. The 2020 season has been activated.
-
I'm missing Jurickson Profar from my roster. But everything else seems good.
-
Sorry-Noelvi Marte was removed from Covid 9's roster. I'm working on placing him on Krusher's team-the system isn't cooperating.
-
LOL! True. Hey everyone! Rosters are updated. Please review your rosters. Black Bats will be sending everyone some insulting offers. Again, stay safe. Strange days are ahead of us.
-
All the more time to send you poor trade offers
-
Yes. FWIW-we are going to be a long while before we see baseball.
-
After that can we start picking up people?
-
Update: I will finish importing rosters into Ottoneu today-tomorrow. I believe I have time. I think it's safe to say it's been a weird week. Everyone please stay safe.
-
Just letting you know that I’m done drafting players on couch potatoes.
-
No hurry. No worries.
-
OK. Thanks Poof and others on the CM message board. Let's finish the auction on CM. I think it's down to New Team (Slave to Ks) to finish his draft, so I'll leave it open for a bit to allow him to finish. I'll begin importing more names to rosters this weekend. CM is blocked at my work, so it makes it very difficult to import stuff from my phone to computer. I'll have to wait.
-
I think the draft should continue on Couch Manager unless the owners remaining are done with draft. They should have the option to complete their roster via draft if they choose to. I do think a deadline to submit nominations should be set for the remaining owners. If they do not nominate by that deadline, their draft should be considered finished. That's my opinion.
-
While I still need to import rosters from Couch Managers to Ottoneu, I propose we stop the auction and use the available waiver wire as a means of finishing off rosters. None of this can happen until I import rosters, so it probably will be at least a day or so before anything can happen. I welcome any disussion on this move.
-
Fixed. Michael Chavis $6 to All Black Bats.
-
Appears as though I've been awarded an erroneous $6 Michael Chavis. (Everything else looks good. Thanks for all the work, here.)
-
OK. I just imported rosters from the auction to Ottoneu. Steven Matz to Starling Marte. Please double check my work. Names and salaries. Please let me know where I need to adjust. Thanks.
-
Hey everyone-In my haste to get the auction moving along, I probably overshot the target a bit. I readjusted some of the time limits (12 to 16 hours. Redraft 6 to 8 hours). I subtracted noms that were plus 3, and put them back down to 3...I will do this as the auction continues. The auction has grown a little wild, and this is my fault for rushing into the weekend hoping to get a bulk of this completed.
-
Added 2 noms. Adjusted time. 12 hrs/6 hrs. Will adjust on new noms.
