Shiner Still Searching for a Catcher
(Preview)
We somehow ended up with only the uninspiring Carlos Perez, so yeah, we're still searching. SHI has plenty of cash to throw at the problem and I'm open to other suggestions. Shiner might also have some interest in other bats, such as 1B vs. RHP or maybe another OF. Let's talk!

Ballparks
(Preview)
In the rules, it states "A free ballpark change will be allowed every 3 years and for any team that has a new manager. The next free change will be for the 2014 ARBA season."

Start time of C/FA Draft
(Preview)
Guys, Since I've been a member of ARBA, there has been much chatter about attendance at the C/FA Draft. Personally, there is no way I can make a Saturday night draft, that is, if I don't want to spend the next week sleeping on the couch. Weekend nights are family time or date time, not strat time, lol. So...
