Re: AAA Realignment?

If some choose not to fill their minors that's their problem...6 teams are filling their minors and two aren't the stats from player the Jim Unknowns won't have that much of an impact... I don't agree. In a six-team league, I play five other teams. If two of them are made up largely of Jim Unknowns...

Re: #2 pick becomes useless the day after the draft

UPDATE In spite of the insta-plummet in his offensive ratings, I went ahead and treated Bednorz as if he were my #1 draft pick last year (since he was my #1 draft pick last year). I made him the everyday left fielder at AA, and batted him third in the order. He responded with a .247/.359/.424 line (...

Re: Do we allow Cash in trades? If so, any limitations?

I don't see any reason to set limits aside from the obvious one that Rob mentioned (you can't trade what you don't have). It's already accepted that the Commissioner will be monitor all trades and will veto any that seem grossly unfair. I would expect Steve to use that veto power whenever he deems i...

#2 pick becomes useless the day after the draft

Behold the tale of Ryszard Bednorz , the prospect who wasn't. You may have clicked on the link and asked yourself, "why the hell would anybody use the #2 pick in the draft on that guy?" The knee-jerk answer is "nobody", but the after-the-facts-are-known answer is "probably anybody, because 'that guy...

Re: 2018 Inter-league Schedule Vote

If 2/3 of your PCL GM's wanted the DH, would you institute it? The question is rhetorical because I know the answer (not that it would even reach the voting stage). Right, some things are just not on the table. And if you had said "I know there's some support for interleague play, but I'm sorry, it...

Hell, it only takes 2/3 to override a Presidential veto or to amend the Constitution.

Re: 2018 Inter-league Schedule Vote

I do not like the uneven number of home/road games vs opponents in the other league. Besides offending my sense of order, it just strikes me as entirely unrealistic. I don't like it either, but it actually isn't unrealistic. It is, in fact, exactly what happens in real life. Since 2013 (when the As...
