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...

The Surprise Zombies are not proud to announce the acquisition of infielder Gabriel Arias from Arboga for $60K, but we needed someone with good 2B defense and waiver alternatives are grim. Arias is pretty grim too, but I've been assured that he has a great personality and that goes a long way. In othe...

Aotearoa and Mudville are considering selling their 1st and 2nd round waiver picks. If interested in bid, please let me know by end of day, Sunday (4/5).

Austin cleared some roster space for new blood by sending Caden Bogenpohl and Alek Manoah to East Greenwich in exchange for $30K in spare change and the EGR #2-3 waiver picks. I stubbornly held onto faith in Manoah's comeback for years, but it's time to bid him goodbye. Perhaps that will the motivatio...

Austin expects to finish drafting soon with 5 open roster spots for carded players. That's not ideal, particularly since they have failed to add any waiver picks. They would definitely like some of those, but are also open to adding players in advance. The only real need is for a 3rd catcher who's good...

By popular demand, I'll share how the Surprise roster is shaping up and how you can help! SUR currently has 34 cards and will fill the rest of their uncarded spots in the IOD. McCutchen has found a new home, but there are still 3 players who fit into the useful, but nonessential category. All were FA addit...

Bali

Its a bit early, but Balis waivers are for sale. Make an offer and theyre yours.

Surprise acquired Washington's 1st round waiver pick in exchange for their own 1st round waiver pick and $10K in silver dollars. I'm sure this will rock the league to its foundations! In related news, both AUS and SUR are interested in acquiring 1st round waiver picks because we don't want Trav to hav...

After repeatedly failing to purchase another 3rd round pick, Austin settled for acquiring Cork's #4-6 picks for $20K in loose change and shattered dreams. Wow, these next few rounds will be hectic for me!

Adding Contreras and Hernandez has made a few Surprise FA acquisitions less essential to their plans this season. All 3 of the exciting players below are now available in return for cash, prospects, and/or pick considerations. If you want to get more creative, we can certainly talk about whether an...

SFE and WTN donate to the poor strapped windows and orphens funds of AOT as MUD as follows: SFE pays $250K for AOT #2-4 WTN pays $225 for MUD #2-4

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...
