Am I the oldest GM in the IBC?

Much belated happy birthday, Jim!

Nothing beats Treehouse in New England. Their location at Sandwich on the Cape is perfect.

LASTLY

Nils: Miami to Pittsburgh
Jake: Pittsburgh to Miami
Matt: TB to Detroit
Larry: KC to TB
Mark: SF to KC
Ty: Houston to SF
Pat: Cleveland to Washington

Open teams: Cleveland, Houston.

These moves will be made TONIGHT, so logins will change. If you have issues logging in, reach out to me.

Last call on picks 1 and 2. Fairly sold on my direction with them but open to moving either still.

Draft picks have been converted to actual picks.

Good with me

Cardinals released Payton 22-Martin

Cardinals signed Frank 24-Elissalt

Cardinals released Mason 24-Molina

on Jake L's behalf, Pirates/ soon to be Marlins bid $20

This is where we are at:


Nils: Miami to Pittsburgh
Jake: Pittsburgh to Miami
Matt: TB to Detroit
Larry: KC to TB
Mark: SF to KC
Ty: Houston to SF

Open teams: Houston and Washington


It doesn't appear anyone wants Washington. Not sure we have any Astros fans here. So this may be it.

Aaand the next (and probably last?) domino to fall is that Ty wants to take over SFG. He's a Giants fan. No issue here either. Lots of movement but with a handful of new guys I don't really have any issue with any of these moves. Nothing is upsetting divisional parity.

Ok. Spoke with Pat who is also fine with Larry to Tampa.

Mark D. (yes, he's been mostly a ghost so far but he's around) is a Royals fan and wants to move from SFG to KC. Again, I see no problem with this.

$7 Solak

Agreed.

Matt has asked to move from Tampa to Detroit and that request has been granted.

Jake has decided on moving to Miami and will take over the Marlins.

This leaves the Rays and Nationals as current vacancies, should any current GMs feel like moving.

Jake Levine will take over Miami.

Assuming Kratky is approved to move to Detroit, that leaves Tampa Bay (Ben's roster) and Washington (Ian's roster) as open.

Working on it

Matt has requested to move to Detroit from Tampa. I see no reason not to allow.

Unfortunately, we've decided to move on from two solid GMs but they've been lacking in participation for the better part of a year. Ian and Ben are being removed from the league. Neither of them have logged into the site in roughly half a year and neither has responded over the last week and change....

I haven't heard from anyone. I think it's time to move on from both of them, unfortunately. That would make a couple of openings for relocation. I know Nils has been pinging Jake about leaving Miami. I'm against a minidraft because I don't think either roster is super strong and it's fine to deal wi...

Ben went AWOL in June/July, and hasn't logged into the site since. I sent him a message on Facebook this past week. He read it but hasn't replied. Ian hasn't logged in since May and hasn't responded to any communication since, either. I haven't heard from him in months, either. What do we want to do...

Murakami was posted and so were his ZiPS. .237/.363/.454 with 26 HR at 3B/1B. My guess is he'll be a top 5-10 pick based off of prior drafts but I could be wrong. Anybody interested in him, I'm happy to talk shop with #2.

Below is the draft order for our upcoming FYPD early next year. 1. Cardinals 2. Yankees 3. White Sox 4. Giants 5. Blue Jays 6. Braves 7. Athletics 8. Dodgers 9. Tigers 10. Reds 11. Mariners 12. Brewers 13. Royals 14. Diamondbacks 15. Padres 16. Astros 17. Nationals 18. Orioles 19. Mets 20. Twins 21....
