Sounds reasonable. Given it looks like the auction took 8 days last year, should we push the start date to March 10th? By that point, we'll be solidly into week-3 of spring games and there will be more injury info available, especially those ambiguous shoulder and elbow pain reports on pitchers that come out right at the beginning of camp.

I vote we start with 2 like last year as it goes pretty quickly anyways. Also do not start any auctions on the ottoneu site until the auction is 100% completed and the rosters have been imported. Or just wait till lake city gives the ok.

Looking at old messages on our site it looks like we did the auction from 3/12 to 3/20. We started with 1 or 2 nomination each(can not quite tell) and then moved to 3 then 4 as the player pool became more shallow. The reasons given was because you are unable to bid on players if you salary is tied up with another nomination that you still could lose out on. To me it feels like the player pool is relatively shallow compared to previous years with top end talent.

It usually takes about 10 days to complete (we could check this), so I’d vote pushing the start date out a bit farther. Maybe March 6-8 range. I think the more time we give it, the less chance someone gets hosed by a season ending spring training injury to a guy they just drafted.
Can’t avoid all those, I know, but at least eliminate as much risk as we can.
-
We changed it a year or two ago where each team always has 3 noms, so we'll certainly start that way again this year. I'll try to set everything up this weekend or early next week so we can start 3/1 and be done before Korea series, so get any last minute trades in!
-
I think it would be more fun to have 3 or 4 nominations for each team to start.

Sounds good to me on the slow auction. You guys really are on it for the slow auction. Quickly handling all the salary adjustments and importing the rosters accurately. Thanks for the extra work. Whatever date you all want to start is fine by me.

Nice of you BOP, but it's like $5 and I use it for my other league anyway so no worries!
-
Slow draft costs money. I vote we start the draft March 1. I volunteer to pay for it this year with an Amazon gift card of equal value. It’s not fair the commissioners pay the fee every year then have to manage moving the players back and forth. Thanks by the way, this has been a mostly fun league.

I prefer the slow draft

I would also like to wap up before the Korea series.

I agree and prefer a slow auction. I think the question is do we want to (do we have to for Ottoneu?) wrap up before the Korea series or not?
-
+1 slow auction
-
I vote for slow auction....it is always hard to get everyone together for a live auction....

With that said, I'm 1 of 12 votes, so I'm good with the consensus.

I thoroughly enjoy the slow draft for several reasons:
1. One of the most fun aspects of fantasy is draft season. I feel like the slow draft prolongs that fun and is something to look forward to every day for almost 2 weeks.
2. I enjoy the mini bidding wars between teams, the evolving bidding strategy as the draft transpires, etc.
3. Personally, with three young boys at home, it is much more difficult to carve out 2+ solid hours to concentrate on a live draft vs the flexibility
-
Would be fun to do a live auction again.
Even if we do 24 or 36 players then wrap it up with couch managers a couple days later. Scheduling is always difficult so I am good how ever we choose. 3/20 is the korea series with the dodgers & padres and 3/28 will kick off the rest of the season. I would say prior to the Korea series is ideal.

I vote middle march again like last year. But I could be ready whenever you guys want. Sometime before March 28 for sure. What if instead of couch managers we did a regular draft the evening of March 27?
-
Is there an estimate on the auction. Early March, late march, March 9th at 7:42 and 32 seconds pm, more curious than anything.

Hey all -- we have there teams who need to extend their teams for the 2024 season. You have until 1/31 to do so. PB BOP, Super Crazy, Gar-Ber, please extend your teams.
-
Would anyone like Max Muncy?
-
Two teams opened in the 20 team league! (I’m a co-commish). $20, hardest league in the Ottoverse. DM me if interested.
-
Wheeler, Webb or Castillo are available for equal or lower priced outfielder or shortstop with proven star quality. Get one now so you don’t have to pay inflated prices later! I can’t keep them all.
-
Excited for the team to be filled before the votes wrapped up. Welcome to the league

Please abandon this team. I was victim of a stroke on Sep 15, so I will have to quit my part time job losing my Ottoneu spending money, anyway don't have the same energy to manage so many leagues, will be quiting many leagues. Sorry to let you down guys, thanks.
