Yeah, I'm a little late to the trade post party this year. I did finally dare to look at what has become of the mighty Surprise Zombies, and it ain't that pretty at all. Ah, that orchestra of tiny violins is so very beautiful... On the plus side, SUR technically doesn't have any big holes, but does have...

SFE kicks off the trading season by sending young ace-to-be Wade Davis, slugging catcher Tyler Flowers, and prospect Chris Withrow to FTW for some aging pitcher dude, Roy something. I think he's on the Phillies.

All - Per the below message, we have two unowned teams. I've been trying to find owners for these spots for a couple of months now to no avail. I've been looking around and talking to other commissioners that I've encountered, and most Strat leagues have either 24 or 26 teams. We, of course, have 28. ...

MLB Trade Chips: I'm not dying to get rid of any of these guys, but they can be had if the return is enough. I'm outfield rich, so I'm looking to flop for positional need/upgrades.

By *FAR* the worst part of being Commissioner, I have assessed the fines for the 2010 season. First, the good news - there were no unexcused late series this season. Many thanks to everyone for keeping things running smoothly. As per usual, all fines were waived for teams that changed hands mid-seas...

Hello everyone, I'm really excited about becoming the new owner of the NYC franchise, and hopefully I can bring a winning team to the "Big Apple". I thought the nickname "Freeedom" would be very appropriate in honor of this great city and what it stands for. As Tom mentioned, I'...

Ye Olde Commissioner

All - Joe H. has decided to cut down on the number of leagues he's in, so he is going to be departing us. Thanks to Joe for a great season and good luck in his other leagues.

FTW has Hallady, Howard, Lilly and Dickey availble for trade. Jose Bautista can also be had. Granderson and Drew available but will be in C Auction if not traded. Need starting pitching, 2b and cf.

Y.O.C.

As you may all remember, we implemented a rule last year that the order of the first 5 picks in the first round is determined by weighted lottery. The results last year were a big upset, with Houston getting the first pick despite its 1-in-16 chance. The 5 teams with the worst record this year were: JRS 2...

Y.O.C.

As the offseason officially begins, we still have two ownerless teams - SKM and JRS. If anyone knows of someone who might be interested in taking on these teams, please let me know ASAP. Also, see the next post....

Mark Buehrle, Justin Masterson, Edinson Volquez, Sean Rodriguez, Miguel Tejada, Ryan Kalish, and anyone in the minors are on the block. BTM is looking for upgrades to starting and relief pitching, 2b, SS, and OF/DH.
