Cleveland Available Players

noletime1995@... (MICHAEL DUNCAN) — Sun, 13 Apr 2025 09:11:15 -0700

Rebuilding time for Cleveland

Rojas has a fantastic card, mashes RHP and a 1e5 at SS.

Iglesias crushes LHP, good VR, a 2e6 at 2B with versatility.

Tanner Scott- stud reliever

I’m looking for prospects in return, perhaps picks and would need appropriate abs and innings as well.

Rays Availables

DEERPARKMETS@... (ken christianson) — Sun, 13 Apr 2025 08:33:12 -0700

This team needs to rebuild and is offering the following players in order of value (pretty much). All offers considered.

No Low-ball offers on Ohtani please.

1. Shohei Ohtani - no intro needed. #1 player in MLB (don't even tell me about Judge, LOL).

2. Reynaldo Lopez - one of the better SP's in the set.

3. Joey Bart - one of the better catchers in the set - hits both sides well - 28 yrs old and primary Pirates catcher.

4. Robert Suarez - very good closer - looking like one for next year too (so far)

Tampa Bay Rays

GS Stats

DEERPARKMETS@... (ken christianson) — Tue, 08 Apr 2025 10:22:25 -0700

The Rosters tab on GS should be accurate with the MLB current stats now. I'm sure there will be guys I missed that aren't matching exactly with player names in the database I use, such as players like Michael Harris II, Vladmir Guerrero Jr., etc., and players with tildes in their names. I have fixed many of these already. If you see any players who have had appearances in MLB this year that aren't showing stats on GS, please let me know and I'll fix them as well.

LZP has been updated in the Cloud today. You can always go to our league in your SOM game and click Cloud, View League Status to see the last time I updated it. Then you can re-download it if necessary.

PLAYBALL

DEERPARKMETS@... (ken christianson) — Mon, 07 Apr 2025 07:18:28 -0700

Our season is now underway. I have auto played all games through last Saturday's date, 4/5. You should re-download the LZP each week to view results. Click File, View Print Files. This will show you the box scores and the PAC files. You can check if you have the most recent file by clicking Cloud, View League Status. Every Saturday morning, I will autoplay the games up to that Saturday's date. I will send out an email once the games are played. Before doing so, I will pull all CM's from the Cloud, so make sure you have revised CM's (if you desire) by Friday nights. If you make a trade, you MUST push a new revised CM.

Google Sheets (GS) is now the go-to for Rosters. We will no longer use Strat Draft. For any future trades, send and confirm them using the IO Group.

Regarding the current stats showing on GS, I'm working on getting everything working correctly. The first issue I had was my source file was changed as far as moving fields around, so I have to re-code my sheet. The bigger problem is the use of the accent characters (tildes) on players names being used this year. I have to make our players names match exactly in order to pull the stats correctly. I'm working on it and hope to have that fixed this week.

Good luck to everyone and let's have another great season!

Update

DEERPARKMETS@... (ken christianson) — Sat, 05 Apr 2025 07:33:37 -0700

Tomorrow night, Sunday 4/6 is the deadline for your first CM to be submitted. The first Play Ball file will be uploaded Monday, 4/7. To have a deadline without a penalty is useless, so the penalty will be your 7th Round draft pick. If this happens I will also auto-create your first CM. You can push a new one whenever you have a revised one available.

4/6 is also the deadline for roster verification. Strat Draft (SD) will no longer be used. All players shown on Google Sheets (GS) will be official.

Current Status

Unclaimed teams and no CM in the Cloud - ATN (Ardan), SEA (Dan)

No CM pushed - WAN (Leo)

CM's pushed with errors - None

If you have not yet downloaded the latest patch, please do so. You can find it on the SOM site. I tried to attach it but IO won't let me.

Everyone else is good to go.

2025 Stats

DEERPARKMETS@... (ken christianson) — Tue, 01 Apr 2025 08:05:33 -0700

Google Sheet (GS) Rosters now reflect the 2025 actual MLB stats. If you see #N/A or blanks in the columns, it means the player name didn't match up with the player name in the file I'm using, or they have not appeared in a game yet this season. If you see any players who you believe are truly missing, please let me know.

Sunday night -

1) First CM is due

2) SD no longer used

3) trades will be done announced (and confirmed) via the IO Group

DEERPARKMETS@... (ken christianson) — Sun, 30 Mar 2025 06:23:28 -0700

Just a reminder about this prior email. 4/6 is a week from Sunday. First CM's are due. GS will take precedence over SD on 4/6 as well, so if there are any discrepancies on GS, I must know by then. I have updated columns on the 2025 tab of the GS showing the teams that have claimed their teams and submitted their CMs. Green means it has been done successfully.

Disregard the part about games being due the last day of the month. This league is strictly autoplay now.

IMPORTANT - Please READ and SAVE this email

DEERPARKMETS@... (ken christianson) — Mon, 24 Mar 2025 08:51:39 -0700

Sorry about the length of this, but it's important, all the way to the end. If you're in more than one of my leagues, you don't need to read each one. They are basically the same. I'm going to address the common questions I am being asked in all my leagues. I will answer here (save this) so I don't have to reply to each and every manager asking the questions.

1) Cloud Numbers - All the codes for Cloud are on the 'Cheat Sheet' tab of the GS.

2) CMs - Are always due on the 6th of the month

3) Games - are always due on the last day of the month.

4) Claiming teams - If you are not familiar with how to claim your team in the Cloud, see the bottom of the RULES tab.

5) Pushing CMs - If you are not familiar with how to push your CM to the Cloud, see the bottom of the RULES tab. You must claim your team PRIOR to pushing a CM.

6) Minimum Usage Requirements - If you have players that do not have at least 60 PA or 20 IP showing in the LZP, they are ineligible and WILL NOT be in the LZP. They are still yours and will show on your GS Roster.

7) CM Requirements - These are the things you must have in every CM

a) A complete Starter Schedule for the entire season. This may be changed every month. If you are not aware of how easy this is to do, in the game, highlight your team and click Team, Update CM. Then make sure you have at least 5 starting pitchers listed on the right and click SAVE. Then click Team, Update CM. In the category box select Starter Schedule. Then click Generate and select Even Distribution. Ta Da, done.

b) Starting Pitchers should be INACTIVE. Your active roster should be no more than 22 players, which will be position players and relief pitchers. Select Team, Promote/Demote Minor Leaguers to check you are within the limit.

c) You MUST have a backup on your active roster for every position. OFs are never a problem because an OF can play any OF position. However, catchers (and SS) are sometimes overlooked. If you have one guy who has C, OF, 1B, 2B, 3B, and SS on his card, technically he could count as your backup for every position.

d) You must have at least 2 lineups - 1) vs LHP and 2) vs RHP. Lineup #3 is used for vs reverse LHP, and #4 for reverse RHP. You may use as many lineups as you like, BUT MAKE SURE each one has a player assigned to every position.

8) LZP in the Cloud - I update the Cloud often. To make sure you always have the latest version, click Cloud, View League Status. This will show you the last time I updated it.

9) If you find the players on your roster in the LZP are incorrect and ask me to make a correction, please wait until I do, and you re-download the LZP BEFORE pushing a new CM. If you don't, this will sometimes cause players to drop from your roster. NEVER move players from Free Agents to your team, or anywhere at all. This also causes problems.

10) STRAT DRAFT - SUCKS! I can't even tell you how many hours this site cost me in fixing all kinds of problems with the importing of rosters (something which has to be done every season), guys were drafting players and they were still not showing on their SD roster, and errors appearing on many trades that I had to fix manually....and if anyone noticed, when a trade is made, SD doesn't even include the name of the league on the trade announcement. I brought this up to SD and was told it was a minor issue, and they did not intend to fix it.

Effective 4/6 (the day CMs are due), WE WILL NO LONGER USE STRAT DRAFT. Google Sheets (GS) will be the bible for roster information. This means if you have any discrepancies between your SD roster and your GS roster, I must know by then. GS will be used. I will be creating a TRADES tab to track trades. When making trades, you must email the trade via the IO Group, and the other party must confirm it the same way.

Next season we will see how everyone would like the league to run going forward. I will tinker with a way to use GS to be able to draft with, or we can use the new and improved Flory site. I have spoken with the group undertaking this effort, and they are looking at testing it out on some of the winter leagues. They will get the bugs out and hopefully it will be ready to go for us summer leaguer's next season. At this point, they haven't gotten very far with it yet. This will be an off-season discussion PLEASE, not right now.

YC1 Arizona looking for 10 or so good starts

beaverjero@... (Jero Beaver) — Sat, 22 Mar 2025 13:07:43 -0700

Hello there,

Arizona is looking to add a starter that has 10 good starts for this season. Needs to be good enough to get me a few wins.

We would be willing to give a draft pick according to your needs and could part with

Gary Sanchez- C

If you need a defensive replacement in the OF, Kevin Kiermaier could be part of a package. Even though his bat isn't worth more than a wet noodle.

Please let me know if this sounds like something you would be interested in.

DEERPARKMETS@... (ken christianson) — Fri, 21 Mar 2025 06:37:30 -0700

1) There are still 11 teams that have not claimed their team in the Cloud.

2) First CM's are due 4/6. Make sure you include a complete starter schedule for the entire season. It can be changed.

3) Please double-check your rosters in the game. If you find any discrepancies after 4/6, you will play short until the end of the April block.

4) If you see any discrepancies in your GS Roster, please let me know. At this point, this is for your convenience only. However, I'm considering not using SD at all anymore and using the GS as the master file for rosters. There are a lot of issues with SD, including errors in processing trades, and players who were drafted not always showing up on the SD roster. If I do this, I'll give everyone at least a week to make sure GS and SD match.

5) We will definitely not use SD again next year. It will either be the new Flory site, or a league run on GS. Let's hold off discussion on this until we see what the new site looks like and costs.

The LZP is updated in the Cloud. The Cloud #'s are in the GS on the Cheat Sheet tab. The Roster tab on the GS should be up to date as well. If you see any problems, let me know. I had 5 drafts running at once, so I might have missed one here and there. As always, SD is what we go by. The GS should match. That is there for your convenience only. I would think you would want it accurate as it's a good way to view your team as a whole.
