League Message Board
-
Finally made my cuts, I responded to old trade talk messages. Welcome new owners and I’m ready to talk trades!
-
Now I want to get a $999 player for real! I think I could secure the loans, the tough part would be convincing one of you to bid $998.

Love the name! Also, confirming $5 in arb coupons has been applied to both teams. JRam for $5, then Doyle/Adames/Albies (that’s what those transactions are, no more joke transactions to troll weather report lol)
-
Thanks to everyone for the welcoming to the league. Looking forward to being part of the league.

Thanks! Happy to join you.
-
Welcome to the new owners.
-
I thought I would celebrate my new team with a new name. So I renamed “A Team of My Own”. The new moniker is the Woebegone Whippets. This in the fictional baseball team from the fictional town of Lake Woebegone in the geographical center of the real state of Minnesota. Tip of the hat to Garrison Keillor.

Anybody want this Sam Weatherly guy? :D

dispersal draft is complete and rosters have been updated with the results. let me know if anything looks off.. ATOMO and Rotoball10 have $5 of arb coupons i'm allowing to be used freely (on any player, since arb is wacky now with the changed rosters) otherwise they are ready to roll for offseason trading mode
-
While it would be fun to broadcast the results of the dispersal draft, my thing on that is it provides additional information to the rest of the league on owners’ valuations, that the rest of us don’t have on each other. For example, if you see ATOMO drafts Moncada in the 40th round, you might see that as a great buying opportunity because ATOMO doesn’t value him higher than at least 39 other players. I’ll get the results in order to import rosters, so when you see me trade for Moncada… 🙂
-
Welcome new owners!!
Will the picks for the dispersal draft be posted in real time on this message board?
-
Great idea, I like it.
-
those two managers will have a snake draft to build their rosters. the player pool of the snake draft will be all players (and current salaries) that are currently on the DILLIGAF & ATOMO rosters. allows for better balance for both rosters on day one of new management
-
Excuse my ignorance but what is a dispersal draft?
-
Welcome!!
-
Welcome to the two new managers.
-
in the biggest signing news of last night............ we have a replacement owner for DILLIGAF! that means both vacancies have been filled, so please join me in welcoming the new managers to the teams formerly known as DILLIGAF and 'A Team of My Own'! They will conduct a dispersal draft later in the week, and I will be granting them each $5 in Arbitration Coupons, and from there, i'd expect by end of week they'll be fully operational in offseason activities. thanks!
-
coupons now applied (pending JJ - needs another pick for their $1) and i have removed the owner for ATOMO. Dilligaf and ATOMO are currently without manager, but otherwise all other 10 teams are allowed to proceed in offseason trading (once they cutdown to legal). thanks
-
Hey all quick update - Going to apply arb coupons tomorrow morning, pending response from 3 teams, one of which being ATOMO, who I am about to consider in need of replacement if i don't hear back tomorrow. that'll make 2 open teams for next year. I have one interested manager in line, but will start looking for a 2nd.. because we have multiple teams being replaced, I will likely conduct a dispersal draft, and allow the two new mgrs to snake draft from both rosters. will continue to share updates
-
Hey league, today’s first day of the trading window, I owe yall a form for arbitration coupons. I’m traveling today, but will get the form setup this weekend. Reminder, order of operations is: arb coupons applied for all teams, cutdowns, then trading is open. (Teams can choose to not immediately cutdown, but must cutdown before trade negotiations). Will send a broader message with next steps since we’ll need a replacement, and I will see if I can catch ATOMO to see where they’re at for 2025. Thx
-
Appreciate the heads up, DILLIGAF. Will be a bummer losing one of our founding managers, but taking a year off makes a bunch of sense. I’ll pass along my contact to your e-mail and would love to hear from ya if you ever want back in! Thanks for 7 great seasons here!
-
As some of you noticed, I really neglected my team this year. Not limited to this league but the others I am in also. This is not fair to you and can affect the standings. I am stepping back from FBB for the next year or more. This is a great league and all of the owners are fantastic. It been a fun run.

Going to bring in a manager from another league to do arbitration for A Team Of My Own. ATOMO, reminder, if ya make it here before tonight you can still edit the allocations
-
Arbitration is due today!! Please don’t forget 🫡
-
Reminder just about 1 week til arbitration is due
-
Congrats Miami. This season has been a fun ride and the most competitive that I have been apart. Glad a finally not finish in 4th place. Look forward to doing it again with everyone next year.

Congrats again Miami! Was fun to watch the final weeks. Thanks all for another great year.
-
Congrats Miami! Thanks to all for a season that was as fun as a fifth place finish could be. 28 in-season trades! A month of the top of the standings changing almost every day! This league really delivered, again.
-
Thanks, Carp! Man, I can't believe it.. The season decided to end on a good day for me I guess, but jumping up from 3rd over the final weekend will definitely be something I'll remember. AVG, ERA, WHIP, SB.. the narrowest of margins throughout, gotta love 5x5. I really can't believe I held ya off another year, Carp, you built an incredible team. Shout out Stugotz as well for spending more days in 1st than anyone else, and deserving the title as well.. Congrats everyone on another great season!
-
Congrats to Miami!! 3 straight chips with me looking up at you from 2nd, one of these seasons I hope to get you.
-
Should be fun when we all need ratios, lots of changes.
-
This is going to be a wild finish.

Well then…………that was not expected
-
As if this league could get any wilder ... it looks like we probably now have a Monday doubleheader which will count, and which we can auction for on Saturday!

Good luck, all! Should be some fun
-
4 teams 2 points apart, gonna be a fun final week. Good luck to all!!
-
Deadline over, 6 teams within 9 points of 1st place as I type this. 4 teams either tied or within a half point from 1st. Gonna be a fun month! Good luck to all!
-
I was definitely surprised there wasn't more competition for him!
-
I saw Noel get auctioned immediately after homering in 3 leagues. He went for $15, $7 and $2. Pretty crazy range.
-
that Skenes kid is electric! Just hoping for health because he looked like the real deal. I’m not a pirates fan but their core is really exciting and fun to watch, hopefully a sign of good things to come from them
-
That's awesome you let the kids watch!! What better way to spend a Friday at school. Ownership better open up the pockets. Brewers had 3 aces but never gave them hitting. Pirates are lining up to do the same. Cruz, Reynolds and Hayes are a great start but gotta get them more.
-
Agreed, I had my middle schoolers watching it in class today haha Even they appreciated it. The only bright spot to being a fan is Skenes and Jones because ownership sucks
-
Nope Brewers, I hate that he's in the division lol but I appreciate great pitching. He's gonna be so fun to watch. His delivery and velo are effortless.
-
Are you a Pirates fan?
-
What a dominant performance for Skenes, that was really fun to listen to on the radio. I hope you enjoyed that Miami!! 🤣
-
I did a very un-scientific search through our trades and also found Realmuto (7 trades!), Abreu (6), Betts (5), and Ryan Pressly (5). Even so, hilarious that Hays ranks so highly; and I'm glad that JJ is now filling the "wash my hands" role with Senzel. :D
-
I remember cutting Snell in 2022 then whoever picked up Snell cut Hayes so I claimed him lol. Actually helped me before I traded him with Casas for Berti 🤣
-
Looks like a CVS receipt! 6 trades involving him, I bet that’s a record
-
Ha, and I had way more entries in that than I should have. I wash my hands of him!
-
Austin Hays' transaction history is truly epic...
