Actual rule proposals are due 11/6, so feel free to workshop things before then but get me the actual proposals on/by the 6th. I am personally going to propose eliminating the cap on pitcher GS in the regular season, as I completely agree with Rick that it's pointless when we have an IP cap and, frankly,...

Dennis

Hi Guys, Well after another year of both teams at .500 or better it's time to see if there is any value in the players on these two teams. Absolutely everyone is available. Except my top prospects. Before you trade take a look and see if we can work something out.

Joe C

This first year was a blast. Thanks for everyone understanding the mistakes I may have made. And special thanks for to Dennis for showing me around this league and helping the new guy out. As is the plan, my team is open for business, except for my prospects. I am mostly interested in draft picks, cash,...

In the Federal League Wildcard game, the South division Redwood Pioneers (99-63) visited the Central division Surprise Zombies (111-51) in the one-game playoff. Surprise sent David Price (5-1, 3.72 ERA) to the hill and Redwood countered with Chase Anderson (14-5, 2.64 ERA). Redwood struck fir...

Sewell sends Starlin Castro to Bali for Jon LEster and 75K.

Okay, I should probably post something about Shiner's plans for 2019. They certainly have a very crowded roster, with a bunch of rookies more making up for attrition from last year's team. Juan Soto! Starting Pitching is definitely at the top of their wish list as 3 of last year's top starters implod...

I have updated the Draft Order, Money Balances, and New A Player lists. Congrats to Jake deGrom, JD Martinez, Blake Snell, and Blake Treinen on joining the ranks of the A Players! Please let me know asap if anything looks wrong.

Eric · Jon

I think I have to go for it this year, despite the crazy division. So I'm looking for win-now pieces, specifically: At least one, maybe two starters LH DH type Help at 2B, C Usual prospects and picks available, plus a mountain of cash. I also have the following cards that could be of interest: Jonathan Sc...

That's right! It's time to announce the results of Ye Olde Draft Lottery for the 2019 ARBA IOD! FEEL THE EXCITEMENT! This is truly one of the most glorious traditions in ARBA and continues to be conducted through the most infallible methods devised by modern technology.Cut up paper into the number of...

We current have a limit of 30 cards, with up to 5 additional little A players. What would people think of changing that to 32 cards, with up to 3 additional little A players? Its always been a bit of a challenge to cover 1450 innings and all of our positions with 30 rosters slots. And, to a point, I like the c...

Kevin

Sewell doesn't have a big trade block, but they do have a logjam at 2B, so Starlin Castro (B5) is looking for a new home. He hit 278/329/400 and has everyday PA. I'd like to trade him for a pitcher or an OF/DH type. Bounce-back candidates Zach Cozart, Kole Calhoun and Drew Pomeranz will be availabl...

Kevin

Springfield's rebuilding efforts have produced a few successes... but not enough yet... so some veterans are available. I am definitely looking to move one of the shortstops Marcus Semien (B6) or Jordy Mercer (B1). Semien is full time, Mercer about 470 scaled PA. I am happy to keep all of the fol...

Aaron

Bali has a few spare parts and a few holes to fill. First, the guys who are available: Matt Duffy-3b, finally healthy (for the most part) 560 tpa, .294avg, .361obp. Nick Tropeano- finally ?, not great, but 14st, 4.74 era, 1.30 whip; I guess for those who need Starts; Nick Castellanos can be had, but rea...

Hollywoo looks to be an interesting team next year. The pitching staff is crazy good and crazy young, and looking to be even better in a couple of years due to great depth as we work past the "Great 2017 Run of TJ Surgery." But . . . we have nobody who can hit. Literally. It is brutal. Jed Lowrie is proba...

The 2018 regular season is over and Surprise came up just short of their hated SFE rivals again. Time will tell who luck favors in the playoffs this year, but I've already started thinking about 2019! I'm sure all you Zombie fans out there will be glad to hear that this team still isn't going away. The big...
