ARBA Message Board

Rick

The Redwood Pioneers have just finalized their first trade with new management. Redwood sends Justin Turner (3B) to Surprise for Luke Gregerson (RP). Happy day, the Pioneers will now have no Dodgers in the dugout!!

According to the old adage, you can never have too much pitching. However, Shiner's roster is rather crowded right now with 15 of them. In particular, I would like to clear out one or more of these youngish pitchers retained on no-bid C contracts. 1) Matt Barnes (Bos, RH, 2 GS, 47 AIP) 2) Felix Doubro...

Thanks to all for a nice smooth auction last night! The results are posted and the Rosters and Money Balances have been adjusted. Please let me know ASAP if anything looks wrong. Thanks! -Tom

As a new owner with a team formulated by someone else, I'm eager to put my imprint on the franchise. Last night's auction draft was a start, but now the real work begins. Just about everyone is available on the roster who is not named "Posey", but I'll highlight perhaps the most interestin...

Good morning! Congratulations on surviving another year of our CFA Auction Madness! Unless you didn't, in which case I offer my condolences, but do wonder why you're reading this. Hopefully a ghost would find something better to haunt than the ARBA Message Board, but I digress... As usual, the a...

All -The START TIME for the C/FA Auction SATURDAY JAN 30 will be 6:00 Central / 7:00 Eastern. As in the last several years, the Auction will be conducted via an AIM Chat Room. I should be online a little early to invite people to the Chat, but if you don't get an invite please send me an instant message or e...

Ye Olde Commissioner

All - For a variety of reasons I will set forth below, I am proposing that, effective this year, we change the way that the IOD is conducted. In short, I would like to change from a "live" all-night chat room draft to using StratDraft, an online drafting site developed specifically for use w...

The Redwood Pioneers (formerly HAV) have elected to use the rule allowing new owners to expunge one player from their roster during the offseason and have rid themselves of JJ Hardy. Mr. Hardy WILL BE AVAILABLE AS A FREE AGENT THIS SATURDAY AT THE AUCTION. He has been randomly placed at #4 in the FA or...

Ye Olde Commissioner

All - Michael from HAV has decided that ARBA is not the right league for him. Taking over HAV (which will presumably be renamed shortly) is Rick Cantor. Rick is an experienced Strat hand and we greatly appreciate him stepping in mid-offseason. Rick's contact info is on the Team Info link. Welcome...

The Horsemen are tearing down the foundation and rebuilding. After free agency Robinson Cano and Justin Verlander will be on the block for future considerations and stopgap solutions. Anyone interested can email me at senatorochinero@gmail.com. Please be aware I have been in a rodeo before. I do...

Y.O.C.

All - The current date for the IOD is 2/27. I've been asked if it would be possible to move that to 3/5. That's fine by me, but I know it's possible that the new date doesn't work for others who have planned to be available for 2/27. Thus, if anyone has issues with 3/5 please let me know by posting or email...

Eagle-eye Brasher noticed that Cody Martin should be on the FA list, so he has been added to the end of the list.

Ye Olde Commissioner

Hey all - Thanks to all for getting the rosters in! I have updated the Rosters and Money Balances and have posted the lists of cut players and uncarded cuts, as well as the C Player and revised Free Agent lists. The C and FA lists show the players in the order on which they will be bid for the auction. Please...

Yes, that's right, it's a World Series update! Although everyone's been focused on 2016 for a while now, we still have some unfinished business from the 2015 season. The Surprise Zombies (124-38) earned this opportunity to defend their championship by defeating Austin and Washington. Trying...

I had given up on making any more deals before the 1st trading period deadline, but then our new Rome rivals added A-Roid! Hey, aren't we supposed to be the villains in this tale? Well, we clearly couldn't just sit back and let such a brazen move go unanswered, and since Jon was suddenly paying attenti...
