Jag and Gudim have both recommended Dave Mueller to me.
Hey John Paul,
I've been informed that there's an opening in the IBC, and also that it's a great league to belong to. I'd be happy to join!
A bit about me - I've been playing in DMB leagues for over 20 years now, mostly in a now defunct league called the GBL, and now in the BCMBL. I recall drafting Vlad Guerrero before he made the major leagues! Before that, I played Strat-O-Matic - actually I've probably been playing sim baseball for almost 40 years now, on and off...mostly on.
Thanks!
Dave Mueller
I sent him the roster and he said he thinks it would be a full rebuild, which scares me a bit because I don't want to see Kershaw dealt for pennies on the dollar.
Looks like a long-term rebuilding project. There's Kershaw but very little to support him, and little hope of piecing together a team to compete with the prospect-type players available. What was their record this past year? An option would be to try to do just enough to squeeze into the playoffs and then try to ride Kershaw, but it's pretty unlikely to work. In real life, one might try that, but it's probably better to start the rebuild now, while Kershaw has more value.
I trust Gudim, but the last bit makes me slightly uneasy.
