Using the mid-season stats so generously supplied by Kevin I can now compulsively pick apart the offensive performance of my Champs league Mulligans. The whole team has under performed so far with 47 wins versus the Pythagorean estimate of 57 with the...

I have only been on the site for a couple of years, but I have already observed that some managers do not even bother to set lineups or arrange pitchers for the away games. Then those same managers get wins because the lineup was set by the computer....

How it will all play out: In the Jr Circuit expect ERA's around 5 for every team in the East except California. I don't see any team challenging the Crush for the division title, while a wild card is a possibility for one of these teams if they...

So I just traded Matt Kemp for Jeremy Hermida. Being the great GM that I am I decided to do some research after I made the deal. Why did I make the deal, you ask? Because its PB that we play. I made the trade in a 24 team league, thus stats are pretty...

After losing a League Championship series with a team that had the league in offense and pitching (In a 7 game 13 inning thriller) I wanted to check the correllation between leading the regular season in hitting and pitching and winning the Championship....

Concerning the robot. First, let me say I've played many different computer games vs. the computer and the PB robot is smarter than most of those AI's. Now you must submit lineups that are different than you home lineups. 1 - Make sure you split...

Bill James introduced the idea that one can estimate the amount of wins a team should have from looking at their runs scored and runs allowed totals. It's not perfect but it's a good indicator of whether a team over or under performed. Over the...

As I did last year I looked back at last Spring's PB Rookie draft and took a look at where each player was drafted and their Value Over Replacement Player (VORP) which is the number of runs over what a replacement level player at the same position...

Today I met Bob Campbell and we went to the Diamondbacks-Yankee game as advertised on the PB forum. It was a nice day and a very good game (at least for the Yankees). Bob is the first PB manager I've met in person and it worked out great. The attached...

In W9 I had six first round rookie picks and high hopes for acquiring the base for future Mulligan teams. I had picks # 2,7,13,14,17 and 20. While that’s a good position to be in actually executing the draft successfully is no small feat. I picked...

I have been for the most part lenient on trade approval of late. However, in cases where I have perceived a serious valuation shortfall, I have made competing offers from UNM teams in the league. I view this as a positive step towards better balance in...

After another year of PB playoffs a big question for me was: It sure seems like the better team loses more than you’d think likely; is it different than in MLB or just the nature of short series? I took a look at all the post-seasons since playoffs...

Thanks to all of you for making PB a great game. John Meredith, Jeff Brown, Dave Milner and myself are going to do everything we can to make PB a better baseball community. Reaching that goal will hinge on our being able to first (#1) make the interface...

1. If two managers claim the same UNM team the manager with the least current teams gets the franchise. 2. We intend to start marketing this product as soon as we improve the interface and administrative functions enough to warrant the marketing effort...

Just checking out Carlos Beltran on my B8 Mulligans, who is batting .187. My impression is that he always underperforms in PB but check out his 2004 stats: MLB: .267/367/548 with 38 HR PB: .267/379/548 with 39 HR Astonishingly spot on....

FA picks are much more valuable to "managed" teams as these picks can fill needs. UNM teams use generic commish list and draft for future potential and much prefer rookie picks to FA picks! In fact a good strategy is to offer rookie picks you...
