World Series Games 1-4

Shiner made the Series in its traditional manner, posting the best record in the Continental League at 109-53 and winning its division by 12 games. They then promptly dispatched Wil...

Big Puma Block Party
(Preview)
Lance Berkman is available in trade. Things broke a little differently than Rome was anticipating, and the big guy is now a little superfluous

Bali went overboard in the C draft and now has an abundance of everything.
(Preview)
Seriously, I've got something like 66 players. I'll need to package two or three cards for a prospect. Some players available: Lombardozzi, Forsythe, Maybe Alex Rios, Tim Federowicz (or however you spell it). They'll be more once I figure out who all I drafted and where they'll play. Probably shou...

Need a Great Starting Pitcher?
(Preview)
SFE has AJ Burnett available. 3.30 ERA in 30 GS, well over a K an inning, allowed a paltry .231 / .304 / .335 line on the season. Looking for prospects, picks, etc. Note that he has recently denied the earlier reports that he was thinking of retiring and says that he will pitch next season, for PIT or som...

Shiner Seeking 3B
(Preview)
Perhaps this was obvious enough to anyone who bothered to read my last post, but I'll do a fresh one anyway. The new and not-improved lineup for 2014 has other issues, but I think the most glaring one involves Adam Rosales playing 3B every day. <shudder> Ideally I'd like to add a good 3B, but a...

Rome seeks OF help
(Preview)
Rome is in the market for a 5th OF type who can play good defense in RF, and maybe hit lefties a little bit. Let me know if you've got someone available.

The Cold Light of Day
(Preview)
Good morning all! Is the auction over yet? Wow, that was a rather brutal marathon experience, but thanks to Tom for keeping it moving along. Did your teams end up with everything they needed? If not, perhaps you'll consider some of Shiner's excess players. They headed into the auction with only 3...

League Officer Vote
(Preview)
Since we were supposed to do this in early January, I figured I'd kick it off. I vote for things to stay the same, assuming everyone wants to keep their roles.
