Shiner spent some more of that cash they failed to spend in the auction to fill out the bench. This time, they acquired the adequacy of Ryan Rua for $120K in Traveler's Checks. The 2nd trading period sure is exciting!

I went a bit crazy in the C draft and have some available IP if anyone is interested. Cash would be fine.

All - Thanks to all for another smooth Auction! The site should be updated with all the auction information, including updated Rosters and Money Balances, and a list of the untaken FA. All Untaken FA will be available in the draft for a B1 salary just like a rookie and, if not drafted, will be availab...

All -The START TIME for the C/FA Auction SATURDAY FEB 18 will be 5:00 Central / 6:00 Eastern / 4:37 am Eric Standard Time. In a vain attempt to avoid the problems we have every year with AIM, I would like to use the MUCH more user-friendly and stable slack.com. Later tonight I will be sending an invite to...

Let's get the 2nd Trading Period Party started! Yeah, this blockbuster will really shake the league to its foundation...or absolutely not. Shiner sends $80K in gold doubloons to Bali in exchange for nominal catcher Curt Casali, who might have purchased more cheaply in the auction if I hadn't tempo...

Is anyone short of abs in LF or basically anywhere? I need to pick up an additional 40 starts (Unl are welcome). I have some mediocrity in the likes of Cody Asche, Hank Conger (yay!), Ryan Rua. I'd also be willing to trade some RPs. Let me know if anything jumps out at you. Aaron

Because I'm a crazy dreamer who thrives on abuse, I'm going to throw this out there and see what happens... Anyway, Surprise brilliantly allowed their 2 RH closers to depart in the auction and failed to adequately replace them. I'm sure that will inspire many sympathetic tears, so if you have a good R...

Eric · Eric

Surprise has some truly great benches over the years. 2017 looks like a glaring exception, although at least they own Tomlinson, so it's not a total loss. I definitely got carried away with adding cheap bench players and need to unload at least one of them. The most available is Ivan DeJesus, who is...

Eric · Eric

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!

Mike

Whose team has 196 starts, but could use an extra hitter? That's right.. Rome. For those of your who decided against taking out a second mortgage to afford Ricky Nolasco, hit me up... There's a deal to be made.

All Rosters should be up to date, as well as Money Balances. Please check your roster and let me know if anything looks wrong asap. The Free Agent and C Player lists are also current and are listed in the order in which they will be available for bid at the C/FA Auction. Thanks, -Tom

All - Since nobody has objected to Rick's proposal to start the C/FA auction a little earlier, I am currently planning to start it at 3 Eastern / 2 Central / 3 am Indonesia / 4:37 am Eric Standard Time. Since this is a change from both prior process and from what was on the calendar, I will for this year acce...

Ken · Rick

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." Does that mean the last free ballpark change year was 2014 and now that its 2017, its another free change year? Strat complete...
