After a lot of internal debate for the last 6 months or so and after talking with some of the ExCo, I've decided to resign my post as the GM of the White Sox.
While I really do still enjoy the league. the last few years my activity level has been steadily declining and the IBC has unfortunately been moving lower & lower on my priority list. Frankly, the IBC and the White Sox would be better served with a more active GM.
That being said, it was definitely a fun time being a part of the league all these years. Best of luck to all of you in the upcoming season.
I hope the ExCo was sure to tell you that you were welcome back anytime. It sucks to lose a good GM and an original GM. Take care Brett and best of luck in everything.
Brett's departure brings the number of Original Members (draft participants) remaining down to 6. Myself, Nils, Nick, Andrew, Aaron and Nate.
Fun fact, of those 6, 4 of us have won titles.

And of the two who haven't, we've been pretty dang close

Goes to show you how much easier it is to win when you don't take over some other dumbass' mess.

Of the Three Gm's who have won who weren't already members on Draft Day, JB joined up by Opening Day, Gabe joined on 4/12/02 and Pat joined 4/30/02

Yeah, it takes a while to not only build your talent base but to get the type of attractive players that make you a serious factor on the trade market. That might have been the most frustrating part for me for a year or two. Good players would come available, but I literally would have had to trade all of my assets to get one of them.
I think the league is in an interesting place right now, as those of us who came in around three years ago have had ample opportunity to build, and those guys who had the jump on the rest of the league after bending over the weaker sisters in the early league for a few years have had enough time pass that it's taken real skill to keep themselves on top. The next season or two will be very interesting.

yeah, seeing two Pirates banners at the top will be a bit of a yellow blitz, but interesting indeed.
Oh, is the end of the year going to be like awards day at elementary schools? Is it everybody gets a banner day? Cause that's the only way we'll be seeing Pirate banners up there
