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...

Sorry all, I was out of town Friday to Sunday and came back to the news that my mother had broken her leg and is in the hospital. So I really haven't been in tune to Strat lately so was surprised when I started getting emails about draft selections in the draft. I will try and get my pick selected by noon tod...

CMD send $25K to WAS for their #4 through #8 IOD picks and their #2 through #4 waiver picks

This is a very special day for the Contreras family because Surprise just acquired elder brother Willson to join William! Hopefully the good vibes will bring us some playoff success! Williamstown sent Willson Contreras, $211K in Venezuelan WBC memorabilia, and the WTN #5 for future superstar OF...

Both my teams have a lot of roster spots to fill and Phillip doesn't want to draft, so we made a couple deals. Don't panic if you're one of those bidding for their more expensive picks. I was only shopping in the bargain bin. Surprise sends $20K to Aotearoa for their #5-8 picks. Austin sends $20K to Mudvil...

While both Mudville and Aotearoa have some interest in players in the draft both rather move their picks for some cash (or if you want to free up a player on your roster, we would consider that as well). Anyone interested in getting some more draft picks feel free to reach out with an offer.

The Surprise Zombies finally made a bold move to shore up their injury-plagued pitching rotation by adding veteran ace Kevin Gausman from the Diego Garcia Gators! We're thrilled to welcome him, but the price was high! In exchange for Gausman and an exciting DGG #8, Surprise sent the following to Die...

AOT trades their first round draft pick (1.2) to SSS for $550k. MUD trades their first round draft pick (1.3) to EGR for $525k. Phillip to confirm.

As previously confessed, Austin got carried away with FA auction madness and added too many players. They addressed the resulting roster crunch today by shipping pitcher Jake Bird off to exotic Bali for $40K in spare change. Best of luck, Jake. We hardly knew you!

Anyone need/want Donovan Solano? 40k and he's yours. AA

Dave (Cork)

Cork is looking for a mid bullpen piece with 50+ innings. Prefer even (or close) ratings. Lefty preferred but not exclusive. For this stud pitcher we offer all of our waiver selections starting at 1.10. All inquiries will receive a response. Thanks, Dave

All - Since this is now our tenth year using Strat Draft for the IOD, I think that we likely all know what is going on. BUT, this is all here for our new owners and so that all of the information you should need will be laid out in one place for a reference.Two reminders up front. Please check your picks and...

Rick

After missing the FA Draft while galavanting across Europe and missing out on bidding for Nick Allen, Redwood is badly in need of a shortstop. If you have an extra one you can afford to ship off, we should talk. We are looking for a 3 range or better, with an e-rating of below 30.

Everything has been updated from the auction - please let me know if anything looks off!

EGR acquires the much-maligned Christian Walker from SUR for 150k in Astros vouchers sent to season ticket holders to compensate them for their acquisition of Christian Walker. EGR should hit a lot of HR this year, bu8t they will all be solo shots Eric to confirm.
