This is really impressive. Packed with good stuff again, and the look is really clean and inviting. A tip of the hat to Aaron and Justin for the previews, too: provocative opinions and fun reading ... well done, all!

Re: Your 2040 BBA Media Guide!
Outstanding as always.
I actually don't hate our predictions this season. I think we can do a little better but maybe that's just my homer opinion. With 8 rookies and 5 second year players, this is probably "our figure it out" year.

Really enjoyed your submission...it was equal parts "Shoeless' personality" (which is a great additional to the eclectic mix of our GMs) and "that feeling when you get the call," something all of us can relate to.shoeless.db wrote: ↑Sun Sep 29, 2019 6:49 pmCrazy.

I appreciate Ron's note about what a bookstore is, way before my time.

NOTICE OF LATE ADDITION!!!
Due to an email screw up of some sort, I messed up and did not get Scott's ever-cool 5-season draft hindsight into the original edition. I've since remedied this, and updated the document. Many apologies to Scott for the slight!

Re: Your 2040 BBA Media Guide!
Losing Jim Armstrong is something I don't lament at all, really. Without Martin or someone like him, I don't win two titles in a row, probably. The fact that Armstrong turned into one of the best pitchers in the BBA is cool, but where I was drafting I wouldn't have gotten him if he were like that when I drafted him. So the whole thing turned out surprisingly well for everyone.

Re: Your 2040 BBA Media Guide!
It's hard to see exactly tell what a player's ratings were going back that far when there were traded. But it looks like he took a serious bump after being traded. It's hard to predict those things and your results speak themselves.aaronweiner wrote: ↑Mon Sep 30, 2019 10:55 amLosing Jim Armstrong is something I don't lament at all, really.

Still, there has to be a little regret... right?

It's hard to cry with regret when you've got two recent Landis trophies on glinting on the mantle shelf.

Re: Your 2040 BBA Media Guide!
That's a work of art right there. I'm going to print off the UMEBA projections and frame them when I win the league (or just pretend I never said this if they are right).
They say it don't be like it is, but it do!
