Andrew Miller Needs a New Buddy
(Preview)
Because I'm a crazy dreamer who thrives on abuse, I'm going to throw this out there and see what happens...

Surprise Scum and Villainy
(Preview)
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...

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

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...
