WAS/KC Trade.
(Preview)
WAS sends Alex Bergman, Kyle Lewis, Rhys Hoskins, and Bryan Reynolds to KC for Goldschmidt and J.D. Martinez. And a side note I have had offers on Scherzer and for him I would like a good young carded player in a deal. other than that let the dismantling of KC continue.

IOD Date
(Preview)
Okay, so, I've gotten more feedback about the date for the IOD. The 18th doesn't work for some people, the 4th doesn't work for some people, and the 11th doesn't work for me. So, in the event that we don't use Strat Draft, we need to get a date that works. With the C/FA on 2/18, I think we have the following c...

Other Rules Change Proposals
(Preview)
Some other rule change proposals - one that I received and one from me. Others more than welcome! (1) No current "tired" pitcher can be used in a game IF there is an available pitcher who is not "tired". If all pitchers available pitchers are tired, then a tired reliever can be used, but like the curren...

Strat Draft
(Preview)
I thought it would be useful to have a thread to discuss using Strat Draft for the IOD. For those of you not familiar with Strat Draft, it is at www.stratdraft.com Login credentials were sent around last year as we have used the site for dispersal drafts and to recruit experienced owners. If you can't...

Bali's offseason
(Preview)
The team is finally beginning to shape up after several years. We would still like to upgrade at 1b and Catcher, and I wouldn't mind picking up another young arm with some upside after losing Heaney to TJ and Rubby DLR having his own elbow issues... and of course Kyle Zimmer never making the majors becau...

Gary will be missed.
(Preview)
It was with a sad heart that I read the announcement that Gary was leaving the league. Gary was the last founding father from the organizational meetings to the original 1982 season I joined the league in the middle of that 1982 season but was not around for the beginning. He did leave the league for seve...

Rome vs Goo
(Preview)
In their previous meeting, the Umpires of Rome pummeled Clayton Kershaw, winning 12-3, so the team came in expecting to put some runs on the board. Except that Kershaw is really, REALLY good (he K'd 11 over 8 innings, giving up 1 run on a Melvin- you'll always be BJ to me- Upton). And so is Marco Estrada...

SPR trade block
(Preview)
Looks like SPR will be putting their 30-somethings (and 40-something!) on the block and playing for 2018. Picks, carded or E prospects, and bounce-candidates all of interest. I expect some of these guys will be in the C auction if not traded. Encarnacion would be kept on B12 though. Edwin Enc...

A note on trading
(Preview)
Obviously per usual custom everyone should feel free to tentatively agree to trades whenever they want. HOWEVER, since we will have 4 new owners coming in, nothing will be official until they are in and know the rules and official trading starts. Note that that may mean that the official start of the...

New Owners Needed!
(Preview)
This is the annual call for new owners. Unfortunately, after many many years of ownership Gary will be stepping down from AUS and DBX. We are also losing Matt and Eric M. So we have 4 teams up for grabs - I am thinking that we will once again have a redraft. There are some great players on these teams - DB...
