D-Train
(Preview)
So here's the thing, we all know Dontrelle went off the rails this year but he is young and will get plenty of opportunities. He's in the last year of his A, but won't get a card this year. Would still be worth a flier for rebuilding teams.

(Preview)
Proposed: During the C auction, a two-team owner cannot use one of his teams to START the bidding on a player owned by his other team. However, the two-team owner can bid normally on such a player AFTER an initial bid is made by someone else. Rationale: When you put a player on a C contract instead of cut...

2008 Season Fines
(Preview)
I do hate this part of being Commissioner, but here are the tentative fines for the 2008 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-s...

Surprise/Washington Trade
(Preview)
Thanks to the emergence of Chris Iannetta and the looming greatness of Matt Wieters, Surprise is cutting the AJP Era short after only one season. Although I would rather have the pitchers back who were traded to get him last year, this will have to do. Surprise sends AJ Pierzynski and Yohermyn Cha...
