I'd have hated to see them go anywhere else, especially since they're still both good players.

Finished talking myself into a draft pick. We're actually on Buffalo.

Carolina selects Billy Chapel, Jr. of the Citigroup Digits #1 overall.

Bo Jordan went #2 to Yellow Springs.

Alternatively debating the pros and cons of three players whilst visiting a sick friend in the ICU. I'm getting there.

I haven't had a real chance to analyze the team yet (I will!) but Des Moines winning 88 games with that pitching staff might be optimistic.

If you're looking for the most active team in the offseason, you've come to the right place: the Las Vegas Hustlers preview. Last year, I previewed Louisville, who maneuvered adeptly in the offseason, grabbing tons of veterans and won 84 games, their most in fifteen years, and stayed mathematically...

On the flip side, it gives more independent events to write about.

He's suggesting 4.

Yeah, but there's the risk involved that the "signer" team can ALWAYS get stuck with the albatross contract. In many cases it's not really being "stuck" so much as it's being given the 1% chance to actually get the guy. 99% of the time, the team that drafts the player's going to take the player. The...

And yet the #1 pick will almost certainly be a pitcher. I think.

The team that drafts a Rule 6 player almost never signs the Rule 6 player. Usually, someone else in the league signs the guy, then the team that drafted him just takes him right back. But what if the team that signed the Rule 6 guy was really hoping that they wouldn't match, so they could keep the g...

BTW, I noticed that Matt tried to deal Julio Chacon to Atlantic City, who had signed him before Las Vegas matches. Normally we have to wait until June to trade free agents, but I love what they were trying to do; it's like NBA restricted free agency when a team with the rights to a player can either...

If he did, I'd have been very, very impressed.

Rafael Avila has been one of the more productive on-base men in the history of the MBWBA. That's why the Carolina Kraken signed him to an eight-year deal in 2006, and it's why, today, the Kraken brought him back. Carolina signed Rafael Avila to a one-year deal with a team option today, making him a...

Isn't this illegal until June?

Monday, February 10th, 2014 Las Vegas Hustlers: SP Cees Breeuwer was injured when he collided with a parked car while drunk. The Diagnosis: torn thumb ligament. He's expected to miss about 2 months. Someone did that to me once. Totaled my car and I wasn't even in it - I came back to find the car mi...

The missed exports are a concern for me, but we had such an outstanding year last year in that regard that it's less of a concern than it would be otherwise.

I'd love to be able to properly utilize the 7 day line-up and all of the micromanaging that comes with it. The only question is time constraints for the simmer (you). But if you'd be willing to do the sims, I'd love to have more of them. I voted No. Not that I don't like the idea, but I fear the am...

Why is there a bonus for Montreal? they were previewed last season..... Whoops. My bad. But I am not going to retract the extra PP because of my mistake. It's 1 PP. If an error was made, I would not mind removing the one bonus point. I took Montreal because I wanted the team not the extra point. Th...

You posting reminds me of something: if Charles Puckett and Bopper Kengos both retire in the same year there's almost no chance that they don't finish 1-2 on most people's ballots. That would be cool.

I'd happily say all three of them.
