ARBA Message Board

Eric · Eric

As a public service, I've decided to post an explanation of this complex topic. It is always the hardest part of the ARBA rules for new owners to understand and can even trip up some who have been around for a while. It's almost as if our rules have developed over the course of 3 decades and been written b...

Rome sends its 3rd round pick and $125 to HAR for Diego Castillo... You know... Once trades are legal

Kevin

Springfield, after sucking for several seasons, might actually be ready to crawl out of their cave and compete this year, but needs help at C, 3B, 2B (vs RHP) and bullpen. The main trade chip here is either Willy Adames, who posted a .735 OPS as a 23-year-old SS, or Marcus Semien, a solid SS coming off a...

Kevin

Of possible interest to rebuiding teams: Scooter Gennett and Ender Inciarte are good players whose 2019 seasons were wasted due to injury. Inciarte performed in line with career norms but in only ~200 PA, and Gennett was a write-off who didn't even have the decency to keep his BA below .200. 24-ye...

Hi All, Mudville has a bunch of odds and ends that it wants to get rid of (especially some of its farm team). I suspect the team is going to be rebuilding for the next couple of years, but have nearly 30 minor players last year. I hope to look closer at everyone in the coming week or two, but will try to respon...

Unlike Surprise, the 2020 Shiner team is loaded with young talent and should remain competitive. However, there are opportunities for improvement. Most notably SP, RP, CF, C, and maybe RF. I'll list some potential trade bait below. Batters: Raimel Tapia, Jose Peraza, Martin Maldonado, Billy...

A big Hollywoo Hello: Need catching? Hollywood has am embarrassment of riches. Caratini: Switch Hitter .794 OPS Kelly: broke out after no longer being behind Molina -- .826 OPS Vasquez: 521 PAs, .798 OPS, was CA2 last year. LuCroy: You know him and can do worse. 328 PAs, .660 OPS Looking for he...

After 6 straight seasons with at least 111 wins, it's time for the Surprise Zombies to take a break...and break up their team. So, who's available? The short answer is "anyone but the precious few players younger than 25", but when have you ever known me to settle for the short answer? Therefore, I'...

That's right! It's time to announce the results of Ye Olde Draft Lottery for the 2020 ARBA IOD! FEEL THE EXCITEMENT! Once again, YOC has one of his teams in the bottom 5, so I'm forced to conduct this again. It had better not end up with him getting the top pick again... This is truly one of the most gloriou...

Travis

Where to begin.... Looking for 3b, 2b, OF, and many many starts Looking to move: Jake Arrieta, Austin Barnes, Diego Castillo, Jaryd Dyson, Logan Forsythe, Ian Kennedy (30 saves), Daniel Norris, Brad Pea****, Derek Rodriguez, Jake Rogers, Hector Rondon, Mike Stanton, Rowdy Tellez, and Joey Wendl...

Travis

Looking for 2b and outfield. Also looking to upgrade at ss over forced current starter Machado (tired of missed x chances on a 3 ss). Looking to move Tony Watson, Matt Wieters, and Manny Machado (in the right deal for a ss). Always interested in picks and prospects as well.

Aaron

Bali will be looking to upgrade our offense this year, after coming up just short in our life's mission. The following players are available for trade, while we try to upgrade at: 2b, LF/RF, CF, DH/1b; Jackie Bradley: 567 tpa, good D; Eric Hosmer: full time 1b, good D; Mallex Smith: 566 tpa, all OF...

This is only a test of the ARBA Message Board System.

I totally forgot to post this, but Max Scherzer pitched a No Hitter at Rome in the first week of the season, causing fans of the Umpire to gripe "why can't we get player like that?" (Scherzer once played in Rome).

I'm not sure if this is more or less impressive than Nola's no-hitter for GAL, but the pitching giants of TER (current team ERA 5.12) managed to throw 9 no-hit innings on the road at Diego Garcia, with nominal started Jose Lopez going 3 innings followed up 5 frames from The Inexplicable Matt Moore, then...
