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...

AOT trades their first round draft pick (1.2) to SSS for $550k. MUD trades their first round draft pick (1.3) to EGR for $525k. Phillip to confirm.

As previously confessed, Austin got carried away with FA auction madness and added too many players. They addressed the resulting roster crunch today by shipping pitcher Jake Bird off to exotic Bali for $40K in spare change. Best of luck, Jake. We hardly knew you!

Anyone need/want Donovan Solano? 40k and he's yours. AA

Dave (Cork)

Cork is looking for a mid bullpen piece with 50+ innings. Prefer even (or close) ratings. Lefty preferred but not exclusive. For this stud pitcher we offer all of our waiver selections starting at 1.10. All inquiries will receive a response. Thanks, Dave

All - Since this is now our tenth year using Strat Draft for the IOD, I think that we likely all know what is going on. 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 and...

Rick

After missing the FA Draft while galavanting across Europe and missing out on bidding for Nick Allen, Redwood is badly in need of a shortstop. If you have an extra one you can afford to ship off, we should talk. We are looking for a 3 range or better, with an e-rating of below 30.

Everything has been updated from the auction - please let me know if anything looks off!

Eric B · Mike (Grove)

EGR acquires the much-maligned Christian Walker from SUR for 150k in Astros vouchers sent to season ticket holders to compensate them for their acquisition of Christian Walker. EGR should hit a lot of HR this year, bu8t they will all be solo shots Eric to confirm.

I'm sure that the question that everyone is asking after seeing my post on Surprise. Thanks, I'm so glad you asked! Austin also got rather carried away in the auction, adding 7 players and spending a lot more money than Surprise. However, they only had 21 carded players heading into the auction and ar...

Surprise got carried away in the auction, adding 8 new players! In particular, they got carried away with adding low PA IF. They didnt spend a lot on those guys, but the roster feels too crowded and there are still needs to fill. Please let me know if youre interested in any of the following. 1) Christia...

Mudville is looking to move their picks for the upcoming draft. Their first round pick (1.3) will be likely auctioned off (assuming multiple team interest). The rest will be moved first come first serve (see price schedule below). Prices for Other Picks (All Picks are 2nd in the Round) 2nd Round:...

Springfield took Weston Wilson for 40K early in the auction, but subsequent additions made him unnecessary. He plays 1B, 2B, 3B and LF (range 4 at all) and his .651 OPS is pretty good by the standards of unlimited characters. Looking to sell him- best offer even if its less than 40K.

San Francisco sends Kyle Isbel and SF's 2nd round pick to Washington for Austin Wells and WAS's 3rd round pick.

Mike G

EGR sends Patrick Bailey to Cork in exchange for Teoscar Hernandez Dave to confirm. In related news, this means that Sal Perez is moving back to C, so if anyone has a spare 1B option, ley me know.
