AAA Update
Strat Draft's conversion program left a lot to be desired this year. I have literally done at least 100 corrections based on emails from managers in my leagues. PLEASE VERIFY YOUR ROSTERS. Our draft is scheduled for Saturday, 2/8. I'm going to let the draft begin untimed a little earlier, probably Thursday, 2/6. If there are any players missing from your rosters in Strat Draft, you must report it PRIOR to the draft starting (2/6). The same goes for any players that may be missing from the draft. Once the draft begins, the player pool is locked.
?
There are also several reports of players showing up multiple times on their rosters, as well as players missing from the bottom of the My Competition screen which displays YTD stats.
?
I'm going to try to keep rosters and stats current on the GS, so please let me know if you see any discrepancies there as well.?

SD Conversions
All my leagues have been converted to the 2024 players. Please check your rosters. I am very disappointed in the number of errors that have occurred to this point with the SD Conversion process. If you see a player listed twice on your roster, there's no need to let me know about that. It's a bug in SD. There are also a number of players that are not appearing on the lower part of the page under My Competition, which is where the current YTD stats are. This is also a bug in SD, and no need to report this. What you should let me know though is if any player MISSING from your roster.
?
1. If you protected an uncarded player, they will NOT be shown on SD now. I will have to add them as Auxiliary players next week when I get back home.

Open Leagues
Hi guys, I have one open spot in each of two 20 team CM leagues. Both leagues are long running (one is 30ish years old, the other formed by people who couldnt get into that one) well run and fun. Departing team is average in each case.? If anyone is interested in being considered, please let me know ASAP |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

IMPORTANT UPDATE
The SD site has just converted from the 2023 players to the 2024 players. This means I need to restore files and check recent transactions to insure everything is correct. Unfortunately, this occurs at a time that I had to travel to Michigan for 5 days because of a gravely ill brother-in-law. Please do not send condolences. I'll be back Saturday night and then have an all-day pool tournament on Sunday. So it may be as late as Monday that I will have everything back up and accurate.

AAA Update
Hello all. Just a reminder that our draft will begin on Saturday, Feb 8th. We are less than 3 weeks away.
SOM has released the ratings guide on their website for purchase ($17 download). This includes all info from the actual cards this year. I believe they will be accepting orders for the game sometime around when we draft. |

Re: AAA Update
All, Jimmy asks a good question here that I'm sure will be asked again,?so I'll answer it now. As our rules state currently, our maximum number of ML protects are 12, which we all currently have right now.? 1) There will be a 23-round draft to allow each team to get to 35 players. If you use any of your picks on players with minimal usage or ineligible players (below minimum usage to play), do it at your own risk. 2) There are NO free agent pickups allowed. 3) If you trade away ML players and/or picks you may need to play with a roster under 35. 4) We have a 110% usage factor. 5) We allow unlimited usage of hitters with a .600 or less OPS. 6) We allow unlimited usage of pitchers with an ERA or 6.00 or higher. 7) The limitations for AAA players were lowered drastically this year to avoid teams stashing away useful players with lots of available usage and depleting the draft. With all this being said, we have 24 teams in this league drafting from a base of 30 MLB teams. 110% usage PLUS unlimited players. This should not cause problems if you draft/trade properly. There is more than enough usage to go around. I think the rules are fine as they stand now. If there are enough of you that feel that a 35-man roster is not enough to cover usage, we can consider voting to increase to 38 and extending the draft by 3 rounds. However, I'm sure we'll have the same issue because some guys will trade 3 players for 1 better player, or useful players with good cards for future players, etc., and then sweat out over usage penalties. The usage of 110% will not be changed for this year. We already voted on that. Free agent pickups will not be allowed? If two or more managers respond today and ask for a vote to increase the ML roster from 35 to 38 and add three rounds to the draft, I will put it up for a vote. I don't think this would favor any specific teams doing it before the draft starts.? Ken On Wed, Jan 8, 2025 at 11:32?AM Jimmy Rogers <jmyrgrs@...> wrote:

Re: AAA Update
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýHelp me understand..teams will not be allowed to carry a full roster of 35 players if you trade away draft picks or make a 2 for 1 trade??The draft will be completely exhausted by the 24th round and beyond but picking up players to fill your roster might keep you from having an over usage rule?

AAA Update
Just a reminder that our draft will start untimed a month from today on 2/8. SOM's fielding ratings are available on the strat-o-matic.com website now for free and their full ratings will be available (for purchase) in approximately one week.
?
Trading:
1. You guys may openly trade without limitation on roster space now that cuts have been made. Please remember though, there are only 23 rounds in the draft, so if you trade away too many players or picks, you will play with less than a 35-man roster (not recommended). The site currently shows rounds past Round #23, but they will be deleted.
?
2.?Now that cuts are in, picks later Round #7 may be traded for the upcoming draft.
?
3. You may now have more than (2) AA players after trades are made.
?
4. If trading for a AAA player, remember that they are not eligible to play in any games this year. Once designated as AAA, they stay AAA for the entire year.
?
Looking forward to a great season!

Final Cuts are in
Happy New year everyone! Thanks to everyone for getting their cuts and AAA assignments in on time. If you look at the 2025 tab on the Google Sheet (GS) and scroll all the way to the right, you will see the draft order. This is based on the total team WAR values from lowest to highest. I will wait until tomorrow before I update the SD site with the order. Here are some things I changed on the GS.
?
1) All WAR values have been verified and changed where needed. For instance, where some players were listed in WAR file with a 'Jr.' at the end of their name or a tilde on their name, the values displayed a #NA# instead of a value. I corrected the file to retrieve proper WAR values.
?
2) All WAR values of protected players that were lower than 0.0 were set to 0.0. This was actually done previously, and the purpose was to prevent teams from trying to gain an advantage in draft order.
?
3) All WAR values of your AAA players were set to 0.0 so they did not count in your team WAR totals.
?
4) All IP, AB, and BB of your AAA players were set to 0 in order to give you accurate numbers on your team's available usage for IP and PA. (AAA players may not be used in games)
?
5) Any team who was awarded a bonus protect had their lowest WAR value deducted from their team total.
?
If you see any mistakes (you shouldn't), notify me today. Here is the draft order pending corrections.

This is where we stand with cuts and AAA assignments. The deadline for submitting is TOMORROW night, 12/31. 9 teams have submitted, 15 still have not. To have a deadline with no penalty for not complying is useless, so the penalty will be a loss of your
8th round pick if not submitted by 12/31. In addition to this, if still not submitted by New Years Day, I will pick your 12 highest players according to WAR ratings (13 if you got the bonus) as your ML Players and do my best to make your AAA assignments, the
same way I would if I were managing your team.
?
PLEASE make these decisions for yourself. Keep in mind that AA and AAA players do NOT count towards your allowed ML Keepers and cannot be used in games this coming season. So for example, Atlanta has 26 players. None have been assigned to AAA yet. If they
were to assign 5 of these to AAA, they would only need to cut 6 more players (20 - 2AA - 5AAA = 13)
