Re: Application from Max Rozon - New Applicant
Hi Max… you won’t regret joining up. It can all be abut daunting at first, but there are lots of GMs more than willing to help you navigate.

57.6- Congrats Chico- It's Twins
Normally, going into Rule 5, I take an approach of one position per round. That is, if I need, say, a backup catcher and a lefty reliever, I focus on backup catchers in round one and lefty relievers in round two. This year, I decided to try something different; I simply took the best player availabl...

57.5- A Light Bulb Analogy
Am I the king of analogies lately, or what??? Anyway, this is not an original one. I’ve heard it said (by Bill James, maybe?) that investing in cheap ball players is like buying cheap generic light bulbs. Sure they’re half the price… but what if they only last half as long, and then you figure in th...

57.4- A “Bachelor” Analogy
I watch “Bachelor In Paradise”. Hey… don’t judge me… After a hard day of raking leaves, cleaning out gutters, etc., I don’t see anything wrong with relaxing in front of the TV and watching some superbly formed young women frolicking on the beach in bikinis. And the fact that my wife is right there w...

57.3- My FA Forecast
I've been at this point many times before. The stages of the free agency process are familiar to me. Here's what's gonna happen in each sim: Arb-FA Filing Sim- I make what I consider generous offers to a number of fine players. I walk around whistling a happy tune till the next sim, thinking about h...

Re: 2057 Media Guide Submissions
I’m willing to do what I did last season: a few fake “ads” and basically doing whatever else you need me to do. Hopefully I won’t have to write a bunch of last-minute team previews this time, but if that’s what you end up needing I’m here for you. Appreciate that. The ads were great. Instead of las...

57.2- Thanks, But No Thanks
Just a brief roundup of the three Gamblers that won’t be offered arbitration this year. Actually, I have a fondness for a couple of these guys, and I’d like to see them land on their feet somewhere. I just decided that if I replaced them with minimum-salary guys, there wouldn’t be too much of a drop...

Re: 2057 – Injury Data from BBA 2056
It would be interesting to cross-reference this data with the “prevent injuries” ratings of the teams’ trainers. I know my trainer is rated pretty highly in this, and I generally do okay injury-wise, so I hang on to him like grim death every time his contract is up…

1. “Muttering Season” is finally over. That’s what I call the time of year when I’m obsessively wondering what be budget for the year will be.

2057 - ATC generates cash (70PPT)
The Gamblers exchange 70 points for 7 million in cash.
This will help offset the 9+ million that I’ll have to pay at the end of spring training to get my bonus cash account back to zero. At least, that’s how I understand it…
