Of course surprising things actually happen…I was pretty surprised anyone on my team not named Yordan or Strider got hit with any arb $$.

It would be pretty surprising/disappointing if Grissom has a starting job at any position for the Braves going into 2023.

I put Grissom on my trade block, if Swanson signs elsewhere that changes things
-
Day 1 trade! Nice work.

Yeah, Bat, I think it's unusual and I also realized during arbing that I was spending a disproportionate amount on pitching across all my leagues. Just a bunch of really good young arms right now

Beer got the least arbitration at 14$ , close to the minimum of 11$
-
I was told when I started in the league that nobody's arbs pitchers or prospects so much , and to not arb guys I want to trade for
-
Perhaps younger and or comeback SP that were lower priced had break out years

(I didn’t count Ohtani in the 7 so I guess it’s 7.5.)

Anyone else feel like they spent a surprising amount of arb $$ on pitchers this year? Looks like 7 of our top 11 arb targets are SPs (and I put $1 on all these guys too except Strider who I couldn’t arb and Manoah). I don’t know if this really is unusual but it feels like it is.

If anyone is interested in another league, there's an opening in a league I just joined. Here's the team: https://ottoneu.fangraphs.com/1350/team?team=9260
It's a $20 league with a $80 side pot so there's good cash prizes. And lots of experienced managers.
Message me if you're interested and I can figure out how to connect you to the commissioner.

Vlad was lummox at 1st only fat Sano was worse
-
Freeman too
-
Olson , Goldschmidt, Gurriel to the eye are currently the best imo
-
Then there’s the statcast bersion, which thinks Rizzo and Vlad are about equally bad (and sees Christian Walker as a kind of defensive god among 1Bs): https://tinyurl.com/e2rkhj4v Good luck figuring out the right answer.

I am confused about fielding ratings. Vlad has positive 3 DRS which is a pretty good score, and he's top-10 on some of the BBREF stats, and missing completely on others. Rizzo has -3 DRS, but Fangraphs gives him a higher defensive WAR.

Usually GG are an automatic 1 fielding rating in strat o mastic, but there has been rare instances where they gave out a 2 to GG winners , and no 1 was awarded . They had Vlad as a 4 last year , and they are pure analytics well before moneyball
-
Abreau is better than Vlad even
-
Rizzo was the choice
-
Could have been DJLM, but he only played 30 games at first, so they gave him the utility GG.
Vlad Jr., is at least a way better 1B than 3B.

Any non-subscribers want a month of Joe Sheehan’s “Under the Knife” newsletter? He’s most useful on injuries but general thoughts on baseball are interesting too. Not sure how much he’ll publish this time of year. Am sure he’ll try to get you to subscribe, but it might be worth it to you.

Yes,that totally sucked
-
Yeah, that league was a blast until CBS moved the chatboard off the live scoring page.
-
Also the Sunday night drama, where Kevin would pull out a come back win by decimals.
-
I used to miss H2H , but no so much anymore . Miss the live chat room and 10 pm drunken rantings . Also miss the waiver wire order for adds ; if near bottom I'd make tons of moves if near or at the top I'd mize and wait for that out of nowhere star.

I think this is the correct list of original owners: Me, Brent, Kevin, Schmegs, Drew, Mikey, Pat, and Hitch (though Hitch dropped out for a couple years and came back). So eight? I think Brent, Kevin, and Hitch have been playing in various leagues together for at least 20 years. Brent, Kevin, Fred, Charles, and I played in the predecessor to this league on CBS for a half dozen years, though I think that league had been around for some time before I joined in 2008.
-
How many original owners? I know I joined about 5 seasons ago.

Tati's owners are delighted by SD advancing, as all these games count towards his suspension. However, he will start season.only Util eligible.

Next year will be our 10th season. Impressive!

Otherwise, thanks for a really fun season. I am already looking forward to the auction (Sunday, March 12, 2023, 7:00 Eastern, 4:00 Pacific).

Some of you have not contributed your $20, if you haven't either do so, or expect to kick in $40 next year.

Supplemental Payouts went out today. We paid out an extra $100/$45/$45/$50 for total prizes of $300/$145/$95/$50.

How are people planning on watching the playoffs?

Well, they *were* locked when I looked at the “cut players” page around 930.
