I am still looking for managers for three teams but I have been advertising a lot and am certain we'll have a full league again soon. 1. Rule change changes/additions are due by Thursday night, 10/31. 2. If anyone has not been able to get on the StratDraft site with their credentials, please let me know so I can resolve the issue. 3. Since we are on StratDraft now, I am going to add a tab on the Spreadsheet called 'CALENDAR' with all important dates. 4. I have the draft scheduled to start on 3/1. We will progress slowly through the first two rounds then speed it up a bit as usual. 5. Regarding the list I published last week for '2024 MLB Rookies', this list includes ALL MLB ROOKIES according to MLB, not just the ones available for you to claim. Some of these players are already on some of our rosters. 6. Feel free to send me any rookie protects and IR Roster players. I will update the spreadsheet accordingly. 7. I'm not going to keep track of late CM's this year, late results, or auto-played games. If the games aren't completed by the deadlines, and there was no request for an extension, they will be auto-played. 8. Looking for your opinion on using a Google Spreadsheet for our league. I used this last season in two of my leagues. Once I set it up, I send invites to it, similar to this IO Group. Once you have the link to it, save it, and you will have access to the league file on a live basis, as it's updated. It eliminates constant sending out and downloading of the spreadsheet, and the data is always up to date. I also used this last year to show current YTD stats for all MLB players, the same way Flory did. It is also accessible from your cell phone as well. Please let me know your thoughts about this. Looking forward to another exciting season in 2025. Ken

Regarding this move, it was not a decision I took lightly. Mr. Flory has been unresponsive to requests for help for weeks now. I don't know if he is okay or not, or just has an attitude (which is normal for him), but in either case, we were not getting the support we needed. This site was going away very soon, as Nick himself has admitted, and I inquired about buying it from him and he was not interested in selling it. It was time to make the move. I am trying to build the best league I can without the help of that site. Some managers in the leagues I run have dropped out or are considering dropping out because they either don't care for SD, or they are loyal to the Flory site. I'm trying to manage these leagues and find replacement managers where necessary. If you are strongly considering leaving the league because of this, PLEASE LET ME KNOW TODAY. I don't want to find out a little at a time and continuously have to post league openings. This is what you can expect for this coming season and beyond. SD provides current YTD MLB stats for your team (same as Flory) at the bottom of the 'View Competition' option. You can look at all the teams in the league this way. We are using IO Groups for league communications, which arguably is better than what we had with Flory because you can always go back and view past messages in one common place. We are using Google Sheets instead of an Excel spreadsheet now. This allows you access to it at any time with current up to date information and is accessible through your cell phone as well. No downloading required. I am also providing YTD MLB stats on this sheet as well for all MLB players. I am putting as much info on this sheet as possible, so it's one-stop shopping. If you have any suggestions, I'll gladly listen. If you are not sure you want to come back, please reply here, or email me privately at deerparkmets@.... If you are happy and staying in the league, you don't need to respond. Thanks, Ken

If trading is open in this league, the Dodgers have the following available: CA Kyle Higashioka 2B Michael Massey My needs are mostly at CF and a LH reliever. -- Daniel Reed Los Angeles Dodgers

Just took another look at my team and realized it's going to be a long year in Tampa Bay. Anyone on this team is available. Skubal would take a major haul, so please no ridiculous offers for him. David Peterson also had a very good year. Other popular players could be Matt Olson and Marcus Semien, both perennial 1's. Take a look, there's more as well. All offers must make my team a better future team. Not looking for 30+ yr old players in return. Make an offer or two. Motivated to make deals. Ken TBA

Hi Everyone I manage to have TONs of ABs in the players I expect to keep. If you are in need of ABs and want to give up picks and/or players with future potential and lower ABs let me know. Not looking to trade good players for junk - these players are still have good 2025 projections Here are some available players: Josh Bell - 603 PA, 97 OPS+ Cedric Mullins - 499 PA, 107 OPS+ Taylor Ward - 663 PA, 111 OPS+ Joc Pederson - 367 PA, 151 OPS+ Vinnie Pasquantino - 554 PA, 111 OPS+ Nolan Schanuel - 607 PA, 101 OPS+ John

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. Ken

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. nick flory

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.

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.

I have put the links to our Google Sheet in Strat Draft (SD), along with the help instructions I created for how to make cuts, trades, etc. These are two separate files that can found in SD under Front Office, League Office, League Files. Please do not email me asking for a link to the Google Sheet. I have given it out so many times already, and now it will be in SD as well.

Cuts, Rookie claims, and IR designations are due by 1/31. I have been very busy with non-SOM stuff lately, so if you don't see your designations on the Google sheet (GS) and already sent them, please forward them to me again. If you have any questions about this, please see the RULES tab. You will see your rookie protects and IR designations on the first tab of the GS. You may not see your rookies on the SD site yet. Once SD has imported the 2024 player set, I can add them. If you still have not been in the GS, the link can be found in SD under Front Office, League Office, League Files. Protecting a rookie will cost you your 1st pick in the draft. The IR is limited to only 2 players. Hitters must have 90 PA or less and pitchers must have 30 IP or less AFTER THE 120% FACTOR. The Draft will begin 3/1. I will open it up earlier on an un-timed basis. Note: SOM's fielding range 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. Looking forward to another great season!

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. Ken

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 are protecting 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. Make sure that you account for them in the number of protected players you're keeping and remember not to double-count any players that may be appearing twice on your roster. REMINDER: Protects are due in 8 days, 1/31.

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, 3/1. I'm going to let the draft begin untimed a little earlier, probably Thursday, 2/27. If there are any players missing from the draft in Strat Draft, you must report it PRIOR to the draft starting (2/27). Once the draft begins, the player pool is locked. Roster Cutdown Day is 1/31. Cuts MUST be made on Strat Draft. Rookies and IR players are due by 1/31 as well. Rookies and IR Roster - Please make sure your rookie selections and IR designees are showing on the 2025 Tab in GS. The number of IR players there updates the number of protects you are allowed on the 2025 Tab. There appears to be several teams who have not yet claimed any rookies or designated anyone for the IR. 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, but no promise on when yet. Ken

According to my count, the following teams are over their maximum number of keepers by the following amount. 1 - Chicago-NL (Available IR spot open) 5 - Cleveland (Available IR spots open) 1 - Detroit 1 - New York-AL 6 - New York-NL 5 - Pittsburgh (Available IR spots open) 5 - Seattle (Available IR spots open) 8 - St. Louis (Available IR spots open) to verify your rookie claims or IR designations, please check the 2025 tab of the GS. FYI - I will have limited availability tomorrow (Thursday) and very limited availability Friday (1/31). If you need help of any kind, it would be best to reach out today. Rookies and IR designations must be emailed to me. Cuts must be done on the SD site.

If you need to cut players, I'm looking to deal one of my players for two or more of your cuts (depending on who they are). I'm in rebuilding mode, so not looking for good cards for this year. Early bird gets the worm. Tampa Bay

New York AL will trade P Trevor Rogers with his 148 innings with the 120% for a late round 2026 draft pick if anyone is interested. Thanks Greg

I received the following email today from a fellow league member. I have not confirmed this, but I'll assume he's correct. Roster Cutdowns are due 1/31. Here are some players that have been identified as not being owned by a team. This cannot be right. After 1/31, these players (and potentially others) will be part of the draft. In the StratDraft list of available draftees there appear to be some discrepancies. This is not an exhaustive list. I did my cross referencing with Flory. I hope they are available but I doubt it Guys that look like they are on a team but are listed as available: Juan Soto Michael Busch Sean Manaea Chris Sale Simeon Woods Richardson Carlos Santana Frankie Montas Ryan Yarbrough AJ Puk Spencer Horwitz Dylan Carlson Miguel Vargas DL Hall

If anyone needs a decent catcher or 2B or SP, I have the following available: CA Kyle Higashioka 2B Michael Massey SP Marcus Stroman I'd like back some CF at bats and RP innings. -- Daniel Reed Los Angeles Dodgers
