Change In Schedule
I did something stupid with my account at my hosting company and, as a result, the league site is down. I think it will be up in the next 24 hours or so. However, until then, you will not be able to upload changes.
As a result, we are going to have to change the upcoming schedule.
As it stands now, presuming the site is functioning again by noon tomorrow, the schedule will be as follows:
Next Spring Training Sim: Thursday night, Dec 30
Final Spring Training Sim: Tuesday night, Jan 3
Opening Day: Sunday, Jan 8
Second sim of the season: Wednesday, January 11
Subsequent sims will be on Wednesday nights.
My apologies for the delay. The problem was totally my fault and not that of my hosting provider.

Sorry, folks, but family plans got in the way of the sim last night.
The third week of Spring Training will be done tonight.
Some people have written to me about the upcoming schedule due to travel, etc. I will post the upcoming schedule tonight.

Starter wanted
I'm looking to upgrade my rotation before the season kicks off. I don't have much financial flexibility, but if you think we can work something out, let me know.
Please note, I'm not interested in dealing either Ignacio Lopez or David Seibel unless an offer blows me away.

Cleveland/Seattle Trade
In a minor move today Cleveland/Atlanta made a trade today with Seattle. Cleveland acquired AAA 1B Tabito Hara for their 6th round pick in the upcoming draft. Hara is expected to be the starting 1B for the Steamers in the upcoming 2020 season.
Cleveland Trading Block
It is time for another SDMB season and it is time for another dismantling of the Cleveland Steamers (Soon to be moving to Atlanta, but not sure when).
Here is what I have to offer:
3-time all-star and all around great guy C Herman Gossard. Catcher is always a tough position to fill and Herman has been at the top of his game for years now. A life-time .311 hitter (which is what he hit in 2019 - so he is not slowing down at all). Can really pull it all together for your team and manage a good game.
2-time all-star and 3-time gold glove winner at 3B Ronald Quijada. Sitting at 300 HRs with a solid 13 year carrer, this veteren can give you the leadership you need to bring home the trophy as he did with Seattle in 2017. He has more BBs than Ks lifetime and just knows how to get on base, score and drive in runs (which last time I checked was really important in winning games).
All-time single season batting leader (.370 in 2013) CF Monte Goss. He has a very favorable contract for the next 2 seasons and is a life-time .317 batter and can be a steady contributor in the #2 spot in your lineup.
All of these guys can be yours for very cheap. I am not looking for much, but it must be in the form of draft picks and/or prospects or it will not be considered.
Shoot me an e-mail at jgoldman99@yahoo.com and we can start the conversation.

Many thanks to Michael for filling in the last two sims.
A number of people have asked about the Danville opening. Truth to tell, I'm still up in the air about what to do about it. I was considering upgrading to version 12 or 13 of the game after the next season. As such, I wasn't sure that I wanted to convince someone to buy version 9 for only one season.
If you have any suggestions about the Danville opening, feel free to post them in the comments.

More Retirees
With the turnover to the new year, a number of players retired. I'll throw the complete list at the end of this post, but a few notes.
Starting pitcher Ed Scull played 13 years in the league and accumulated about 40 wins of value above replacement. That's a very nice career. In fact, he's 15th among starters in career value. Scull started out as a first round pick (#6 overall) by Ohio in the 2003 draft.
Outfielder Tony Demiras, who was the #2 overall pick in the 2005 draft, managed to play 13 years in the majors despite a cumulative value of seven runs BELOW a replacement player. He conned me into trading for him at least once, and perhaps twice now that I think of it.
Starting pitcher Franklin Lakey was part of the inaugural 2002 draft, a 34th round pick by Shackamaxon. He had 12 years in the majors. Just nine inaugural players left active now.
Reliever Jefferson Theriault was one of the players created in my organization when we filled out the AAA rosters as part of expansion in before the 2003 season. He also was what I thought was a fringe piece in my second ever OOTP trades. Theriault went on to be the sixth best reliever ever in career value--just ahead of Frank Caroll and just behind Pedro Morales. Curse you, Nate!
Anyway, here's the list of guys who retired in the last sim.
SS Deon Bolivar
RF Cornelius Bondy
CF Edward Boothe
MR John Bowden
LF Barry Brooks
2B Nathanael Burton
RF Jesse Carroll
SS Ronald Chambers
