ARBA Message Board

Eric · Eric

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...

All -The START TIME for the C Auction NEXT SUNDAY FEB 22 will be 10:00 am Central / 11:00 am Eastern / Midnight Indonesia Time / 4:37 am Eric Standard Time.

(1) "Expanded" Playoffs passes 14-0. As many people noted this was really just a codification of the existing situation. (2) Tiebreakers passes 14-0. Nobody likes coin flips. (3) Using MLB Rules passes 11-2. Weird that an MLB replay league would use MLB rules but ok (4) Limited Active Rosters fa...

Hello again! Of course I'm still interested in more substantial deals, but might as well try to get in on the prospect sale action too. $20K seems to be the going rate and I would take that for any of the following. AUS - Griffin Burkholder (PHI-OF), Brandon Compton (MIA-OF), Humberto Cruz (SD-RHP), C...

Hollywoo! is looking to make a last minute deal for a top-of-the-rotation level starting pitcher. Looking to move picks and top prospects, including: BRICENO, Josue (1B/C, Tigers): A massive riser who won the 2024 Arizona Fall League Triple Crown. By early 2026, he has surged into the Top 20 overal...

That did fill their biggest need at SS, but never fear, there are still pl...

Hi Men, I've had life issues that really is slowing down my hot stove, apologies.

Anderson 6) Carson Williams (not a C, but I'm full at SS) 7)...
