Limited mid-season trading
(Preview)
Gentlemen,
Not proposing this yet, but wanted to start discussing some kind of mid-season trading. My inclination is to give it a shot to see how it works out, but limit it the first couple of years to minimize unforeseen bizarrity and stress on the commissioner, the statistician, and all of the m...

Has trading season begun already?
(Preview)
SFE doesn't want to miss out. I don't think I'll have to sell these guys too hard.
Beltran. OPS around 1, cf1 defense with Mets doing so well, still youngish
Schilling. Took Boston and SFE to the winners' circle, has regained his form
Thames. Everyday LF/DH for best-...

Have any Suns or Tourists?
(Preview)
I've a vacation planned soon and expect to catch a game or two between the Hagerstown Suns and the Asheville Tourists. Let me know if there is anyone you want a report on, but bear in mind I'm not a baseball scout, I just play one in a Strat league.

League Openings
(Preview)
Just wanted to let everyone know that the Cooperstown Baseball League has two openings now. Doug Frye filled an opening earlier in the season. This is a great league for you sickos who can't get enough of the prospect stuff. This league is structured like MLB and features a 40 man r...

Doug Davis vs Humble, revisited
(Preview)
In an unbelievable deja vu situation, Doug Davis again found himself with a no-hit bid versus Humble. This time the home fan support (all 1,052 of them) was a bit of an extra kick, and Doug avoided several 20% double chances on his card to close out the 3-0 win, allowing no baserunners after the 6t...

Almost no hitter
(Preview)
In game 6 of the series SOS @ SPR, Serenity starter Gil Meche didn't allow a hit through four innings. He then walked the bases loaded with two out in the fifth, and that left him fatigued, so I brought in Brad Thompson. Boy that felt weird- yanking a starter who had a no-hitt...

Doug Davis vs Humble
(Preview)
Doug Davis was on in series 7 at Humble taking a no hitter into the 9th. With 2 out in the 9th Davis faced Carlos Lee for the no hit bid. Unfortunately Lee hit a double off Davis and was followed up with another hit to lose the shutout. Oh so close!

CM and instructions for series are due within 48 hours of the posting of league stats from previous series. GM who needs or wants to play a series early may give commissioner and road GM 7 days' notice of intent to play series early and must allow road GM 72 hours to send instructions.

Old IODs
(Preview)
I have posted, within the "Past Seasons" section, the IODs from 1997-2001 (and also fixed the previously-busted link to the 2004 IOD).
Since those drafts were before the Net was what it is today, I had to scan in hard-copy documents to be posted, so you will need Adobe Acrobat to read them. I be...

Figures...first time since I've been in ARBA that I own the top prospect in the minors and he also turns out to be the biggest **** in the minors. I hope he gets suspended for the season.

Depth Chart
(Preview)
Yet in another shameless attempt to generate some activity on this board, I humbly submit depth Charts for my team.
Jose Bautista and Russell Martin both got called up to the majors this weekend.
You will also notice I have no full-time 2b at this point heading to next year.

Strat patch 11.02c
(Preview)
is available on the Strat website...http://www.strat-o-matic.com/patch.html
Don't know if anyone else had trouble but I couldn't import series 3 results. Installing the patch fixed the problem. Everyone should download and install the patch so we are all current.
