ARBA Message Board

Y.O.C.

Everyone please officially welcome Eric Mikel as the new owner of the Alger Heights Gila Monsters. I am particularly proud to have more reptile-based teams in the league. Eric is an experienced and savvy Strat owner, but he is still getting up to speed on the deep minor leaguers. ...

Y.O.C.

With Don's departure, a new manager for the other half of BUD/PET is needed asap so that that team can have the (admittedly abbreviated) chance to make trades, get its roster done, etc without slowing up the offseason. Thankfully, Kevin has graciously agreed to take over the other team. Whi...

There are numerous web sites for different Strat leagues with leagues looking for new managers. Has anyone posted to any of them? I have looked at a handful today and have not seen any ARBA postings. If not, I suggest we create an advertisement for our need to fill an existing team with a small descripti...

Eric, The real reason this league exists is for the awesome flare ups that erupt on the message board on a regular basis. The baseball replay is just a necessary evil that allows this fun to continue. Welcome to the league!

Don

Gentlemen, Kevin asked me about some guys on the Bud/Pet rosters, and it brought to attention three corrections that should be made. Buda has Stanford OF Michael "Taylor," not Michael "Tavares." That should be "Chris Tillman" of the Mariners, not "Craig Tillman." Christian Rodrigu...

Ft Worth sends Jason Botts, along with 100k in small unmarked bills and their #2 pick to Humble for Casey Fossum.

I fingered out, with help from Travis, that I have one too many Major leaguers. So I am selling one pitcher-Your choice. I would like cash and or minor leaguers in return. Thanks: A-

Don

The early going, showing just how insane I've gotten Don opts to go first, calls his team the Petty Squabbles. Eric calls his team Buda and has been asked if he will rename. Petty--Mauer Buda--Morneau, Bonderman Petty--McCann, Arod Buda--Andruw, Young Petty--(lunacy strikes)...

Eric

With their 12th deal of the offseason, the defending ARBA champion Surprise Zombies made their defense even more unlikely by trading away 2 more members of last year's major league roster. That brings the traded total up to 15 and very few of the rest are expected back. This tim...

Don

Gentlemen, I am coming around to a thought that maybe owners shouldn't have two teams, but I'm not going to try to force anyone else to drop a team. I think my reluctance to drop one of my teams has always been primarily motivated by having to lose those favorite players from each team. Of course, I'm...

Eric

Uh-oh, I'm starting to feel the trading fever again. 11 deals is just not enough! The prospect buying market may have dried up by now, but I'll throw out a few more names just in case anyone cares. So what if I just got most of these guys...I want more new blood! Expend...

Okay, I'm an idiot. Less than a week after scolding poor Kevin for not planning his life around my original offseason schedule, I am forced to admit that my wife reminded me this weekend that we have a long-scheduled vacation that includes Saturday Feb 17, the scheduled date for the C/FA Auction. ...
