Crap!!! I'm up and I'm away from my computer. Heck, I even have to use my previous nickname and account I left on my girlfriends computer! This is 'David of Montreal'. Could someone make a good pick for me? If not, just use the AI auto-pick and I'll take what they give me. T...

Thanks for the clarification guys!

Not over Bayne, I still think he's crap. But I was already ALMOST completely tired of league play and this has pretty much capped the tank on it!

I'm done here, please find someone else for to run Ottawa ASAP.

I really don't blame you for trying to put the full court press out on marketing Bayne, but he's 35, a defensive equivilent of a "Please don't hit it to me!" sign, he's taken 7 rating drops already this season (in addition to 8 he had last year) and in the last ...

In a 24 player league the original post has already had over 30 hits. Unless something changed did this really need to get bumped to the top over new and far more current offerings?

The talented Relief duo RHP Nelson Bergeron and LHP Kent Marquardt remain avalible for trade. Their combined salaries of a paltry $1.65 Million buys a very solid relief corp for this and next season. The two compliment each other very nicely: Marquardt- the hardthrowing lefty strikeout specialist (t...

I'm on your e-mail list... (sniff-sniff) ..that's beautiful man. If I had an e-mail list, you'd be on it too! :) And I'm sorry, but I have to inform you that offering to buy good players for cash was already under copywrite to George Steinbrenner. I suppose I could have started m...

from *Bob* Roberts. "My name is Bill!" Considering the small fortune I'm paying him this season, I should be able to call him 'Oral Roberts' if I want to! :D Hmmm....that actually might be worth trying. I could use some divine intervention this season. Praise Be! --...

And why not? At least in this case? So far in league voting I've had a remarkable propensity to frequently (and then, completely) disagree with league concensus on issues of player ability. In some part, that's why I started writing my 'season preview grading' articles instead o...

Sorry Chris and Kieran, but I think I'm going to hold to my strict neutrality and abstain from voting. I really admire your energy and enthusiasm for this all-star game balloting project, but I'm with still with Kent Brockman from 'The Simpsons'- "I've said it befor...

Heh-heh... :) Well, just to let everyone know- Ottawa is currently projected to have $5-7 Million over the cash cap and I'd be willing to give all my cash up for a half-decent prospect, let only a really good one. If anyone's interested, an auction could be in order. As it is, I'll li...

When I first joined the CBL I found that alot of weak-hitting, good-fielding players were being slighted for their good-hitting, weak-fielding brethern. My first moves as GM was to grab them up by the armload and I've been riding them to success ever since. I think of even last year where my cu...

To Dawson City:
2B Ed Alexander
$2 Million cash

To Ottawa:
Dawsons 4th round draft pick

--Dave/Ottawa

Interesting. How many draft rounds do the other leagues use? Still, I wouldn't want to see too many free agents sitting unsigned. I had enough of that playing solo games against the AI. But there should be at least a few one star veterans looking for work at every position. This might just be a...

I think the problem will be self-correcting now that everyone is aware of it. Next off-season dollars to donuts there won't be a single free agent who's going to have less than two or three contract offers, no matter how bad a player they are. The bidding will drive the price's up sli...

I don't have a problem with the lack of FA's in last week of June. Teams will just have to factor in during the regular free agency period to make sure their minor leagues have enough depth to cover any potential injuries. Last off-season I made sure I had: 1 extra SP, 1 extra LH RP, 1 ext...

SP Vince Bell

I've got 2 players who qualify to start at 2B: John Foley : Past Slick Fielder award winner at SS has incredible range (A) and great hands in either middle infield position. Good rated hitting against right handed pitching. He's one of ONLY three A ranged 2Bmen and is ALSO one of only thre...

To London: SP Leigh Blauser (AA) SP Scott Markel (A) Ottawas 1st and 3rd round draft picks. To Ottawa: 2B Chris Bowie (AAA) RF Jeff Calhoun (AAA) Wow, I think this is the most talent I've ever traded from my team! But I'm really impressed with Bowie and it's like they always say- you ...

To Dawson City: CF Bill Harris RP Noel Molina (AA) To Ottawa: LF Rigo Rosales (A) Thanks Mat and again, welcome to the league ! Hopefully you get some good use out of Harris. His glove is outstanding, so at the least he'll give you a good defensive in the outfield. I was using him to fill in fu...

I don't think it's your ballpack factors. If that was the case, it would likely show as a favouring one side of the plate, the other side of the plate or both sides of the plate. Looking over your starting pitching staff the first things that jumps out at me is their split stats. I know it...

Umm... I have no clue as to why there is any fueding an-a' fussing about this all-star game stuff. But I DO know that where ever Scarecrows "2007 CBL All Star Ballot" link took me crashed my browser out when I was in the middle of things far more import than this. :mad: In hin...

I tried Bosi but it wouldn't include draft picks so I sent my offer to your e-mail.

--Dave/Ottawa

To Summerside:
RP Alex Paradiso

To Ottawa:
RF Charlie Jenks

--Dave

Congratulations and welcome aboard!

Prepare for the bombardment of trade offers...


--Dave/Ottawa

I dropped you an e-mail for Charlie Jenks. He's not an all-star but the guys I'm currently using in right truly suck. In fact, how my team has managed to stay competative the last 3 season with the horrible outfields I've used - I'll never know. I'm starting to feel like the...
