All,
?
Just want to make some important points and remind everyone of upcoming deadlines.?The first two are requests from me to you. PLEASE...
?
1) When sending me emails with questions or any type of league issue, PLEASE include which League and Team you are asking about. I'm flattered that some of think I can remember the exact league and team you manage, but I run seven leagues. Trust me, I cannot remember.
?
2) I am getting some emails in most of my leagues complaining about the volume of emails coming through. This was a common problem on the Flory site because there was a simple feature called 'Trading Block' which allowed a manager to send out emails as often as they liked to the entire league about what players they were interested in trading. Please respect your fellow managers and do not abuse the IO Group for this. Managers do not like getting the same emails over and over again. If this problem doesn't resolve itself, I will reluctantly put a rule in place to discourage this :(
?
3) I have been putting a ton of work into the Google Sheet. I am trying to standardize it across all my leagues. In addition to the ROSTER tab, which all leagues have now, I will be creating tabs for 'Batters in Draft' and 'Pitchers in Draft'. Some leagues already have this and the others I am still working on. These tabs will be updated as I record your cuts. My plan is to keep all current YTD stats updated on the ROSTER tab. This will ease some of the pain for those of you who loved that feature on Flory (I know I did).
?
4) STRATDRAFT takes precedence over the Google Roster tab as far any player discrepancy goes. Please check and make sure your team is correct. The Roster tab is only there for your convenience and to help you plan, manage, and monitor your team.?
?
5) Once the deadline for player cuts or protected player lists has passed, there will be no further corrections to rosters in SD. What does this mean? If you have a player like Ohtani, Soto, etc., and they are not showing on your team, they will not be put on your team. There has to be a final date for corrections. Check your rosters sooner than later.?
?
UPCOMING DEADLINES
?
1)?Final Roster Cutdown is 1/31. This is a little more than 6 weeks away. Please make your cuts on the StratDraft site. If you have any trouble doing this, refer to the SD Help tab on the Google sheet for instructions. Your player count is tracked on the Rosters tab with your team. Maximum protected players are 25. Also keep the rookie protects coming as well as your IR list. See the rules regarding the criteria for IR players. A rookie counts as part of the 25, IR players do not.
?
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to everyone.

YC1 Marco Luciano eligible for injured reserve available for a draft pick
I will trade him to whomever offers the best draft pick by tomorrow night, assuming I get at least one offer. For the?past five years he has consistently been one of Baseball America's top 60 prospects. Larry YC1 Texas

I have added a ROSTERS tab on the Google Sheet showing everyone's rosters, stats, and total IP and PA (including our factor). StratDraft will always take precedence over the Google Sheet as far as roster accuracy. If you see any problems with your roster on Google, please let me know and I'll fix it.

The following is an update on the future of the Flory site. Although we chose not to use it this year, a know a lot of you are still in leagues that use it and may not have received his latest update. Here it is (edited for spelling errors). Key comments have been boldfaced. Sounds like we made the right choice.
?
Promised something soon, here it is.
The Flory.net SOM baseball league sites will scale back in
2025.? ? All full serve leagues will be allowed to end their
current seasons with full service.? After that, they will
be self-serve.? As long as the site is up, self-serve
leagues can continue as they wish.? There is one bug I need
to fix that was not advancing leagues to their next season,
basically, repeating a season.? If you need move your season
forward, let me know and I will take care of it.
My plan is to, after the Super Bowl in 2025 (I have a
football pool on the site), start bringing the code on the pool
up to the current level of code so as to reduce the cost to
me for the service.? There are only about 20 programs there to be?
upgraded as opposed to a few hundred in the baseball site,
that won't happen.? There will be periods where the baseball
site will act strange (unknown what that means) as I work on the?
pool programs. I will try to announce those times on the
site when they happen.
After I get the pool programs upgraded, it probably means the
end of the baseball site.? Will have to wait on that.
in my current state, it's the best I can do.? Got even worse
when I came down with covid for the 2nd time.? Ugh!? And
once again, I know there are many well-wishers amongst you,
and the sentiments are always appreciated.? But please
don't send any replies to this email regarding my health and
well-being.? Reading emails can be difficult with my vision.

All,

SOM has released their annual Range Ratings. They had the Sneak Preview the last two days on X (Twitter). I'm attaching the file here. I must say, I am pretty happy with the accuracy of my projections in my first year doing them in comparison to LBB's results, especially considering they have been doing them about two decades now. Take a look yourself. I will be looking at what I can tweak to make them even more accurate next year. This should help quite a bit with border line cuts.
