This team has a nice core of quality players and huge yawning voids in several positions. Unfortunately, there's not much viable trade bait, but as the subject line implies, they do have more SS than they can use. My current whim is to roll the dice with Ian Desmond going forward, or at least until it...

Starting after the C/FA auction and up to the day before the inverse order draft, members may announce their selections, one-by-one, in the order of the draft. There will be no deadline for any member to announce and no member should feel pressured to announce a selection prior to such date.

I formally propose that any new owner will be allowed to cut, at no penalty, one player they inherited on his/her roster. This player will be put into the FA auction and the owner will not be allowed to re-acquire this player in this auction or via trade/waivers. For clarification purposes, I propose t...

Guys, I am still in the process of sorting through what I have, but one guy who is definitely on the block is Vernon Wells, who is coming off his long-term A contract. He had a nice year but isn't really an A player any more. Sewell could use a major league CF or MIF in return. -Kevin

There are an abundance of starts on WAD. The following pitchers are available: Mike Leake, Brett Cecil, Kevin Correia, Jason Hammel, Zach Duke, Felipe Paulino. In addition to these guys, I am willing to move the following if the price is right; however, wouldnt mind giving them another year or two a...

Not much to offer. Looking to trade Rich Harden, Brad Penny, Nick Johnson, and Aaron Rowand. Along with any of my draft picks I am in need of a 1st baseman, a closer, and starts. I am also interested in picks and minor leaguers.

Travis

Ahh, where to begin? The following long list of players are available: Mike Cameron, Darnell McDonald, Vlad Guerrero (will be in the C this year), Scott Rolen, JJ Hardy, Travis Hafner, Derek Lee (will also be in the C this year), Jason Kendall, Gavin Floyd, Daisuke Matsuzaka, Jeff Niemann, Barry Zit...

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...
