Thanks! The pitching side looks much thinner but I think I've found one good candidate that I'll write up soon.

good stuff... like the angle. I am hopeful that having some solid GM's watching over the EBA flock will increase the player longevity on any given team.

Thanks. Yeah it's a really unique setup, I'm really enjoying getting to know it and hopefully the EBA community becomes just as active as the MBBA side.
