BUT, this is all here for our new owners and so that all of the information you should need will be laid out in one place for a reference.Two reminders up front. Please check your picks an...

As a public service, I've decided to post an explanation of this complex topic. It is always the hardest part of the ARBA rules for new owners to understand and can even trip up some who have been around for a while. It's almost as if our rules have developed over the course of 3 decades and been written b...

We came close but no cigar on a few different offers on Mr. EDC, rumors that the Reds might put him back on 3B only complicates decision-making on the inept DG management. Further bad news that the BAG (best Gator available) Josh Whritenour will unergo TJ surgery and miss the season. We were prepared...

Mudville is looking for insight into the possibility of moving the following players. I don't expect a trade to get finalized before tomorrow's deadline, but would like to try to work something out prior to the salaries deadline on 1/16. (We would announce the trade in the 2nd trade period.) I am o...

Hello all! As you may have noticed, the 1st trading period ends this Saturday, the 11th. Never fear, operators are standing by to make deadline deals for Deadwood and Austin! Deadwood has been more active, completing 3 trades so far. They're still shopping for SP, RH RP, OF vs. LHP and maybe some 2B hel...

Yes, he's available! Need is an "almost Elly De La Cruz" that plays 2B or CF. Other ideas welcome, but I'm obviously not offloading here. Also willing to sub Masyn Winn if preferred... Other future-based ideas welcome... Best, Don D. DGG

Deadwood's 2024 lineup featured huge contributions from the 1B trio of Brandon Drury, Mike Ford, and Garrett Cooper. Drury somehow hit an insane .342/.400/.690 in 350 PA. We clearly would have won more than 122 games by playing him more, but the other guys had their moments too. Alas, Deadwood expec...
