1/20/2019 2004 Hot Stove League Welcome to the 2003 winter meeting here in New Orleans. Here is a timeline of the 2004 season up to the start of the season: #Sunday (20 Jan)- All rookies have been imported to your team. IF there is anyone I missed, let me know. I will do a final sweep for missing players as my last chore before the season starts. I have opened drops, trades and ranking for the Supplemental draft. PLEASE use the draft if you're still short of players or have a position not manned. The minimum effort I ask is to have your team ready before the season starts. At least have an eligible player to cover an open position and your roster/lineup done..... - I will convert any dh positions to their second and third position that they've played in real life. I will be take requests for SP/RP conversion, provided they have pitched as both. This should give you guys enough time to trade and drop your roster down to 28 players until.... #Friday morning(Jan 25@ 7am pst)- Drops are closed so you can do you draft choices. Reminders will be sent out the day before the cutoff(Thursday morning) so you can rank players. If you have not dropped to 28 players by Friday night, I will do this for you but you might not like who I choose to drop(ie -based on players' ranking regardless of age/potential.) #Sunday morning (27 Jan@ 7am pst)- Supplemental Draft Day. If you are looking to pick up players via the draft, you can drop as much as three more players because the draft is five rounds. You will need to rank your picks, this will not be automatic. The draft will be set up so you can raise your roster up to 30 players. #Monday morning(28 Jan)- Spring training starts with 8 games a day for 3 days ending Wednesday night. Your minor league, free agency and drops will open after the eighth game(day 1) which will be around 6pm(give or take an hour)PST. #Thursday morning(31 Jan)- Season starts! Please have your 5-man rotation and lineup set. I DON'T WANT TO GO INTO YOUR TEAM AND SET UP YOUR ROSTER/ROTATION! I will fix your lineup/rotation if not done beforehand. ###The following teams are available if you would like to switch teams now: Arizona Diamondbacks, Chicago White Sox, NY Mets and Texas Rangers. Teams will be open to anyone else on the public boards after this post. If you are wondering who I have listed as injured or DNP, message me and I'll send a team list with the year I have them listed as returning to your team(or free agents). If there is any questions or you are missing someone, let me know. Supplemental Draft Order Colorado Rockies Milwaukee Brewers Detroit Tigers Philadelphia Phillies Tampa Bay Devil Rays New York Mets San Diego Padres Boston Red Sox Cincinnati Reds San Francisco Giants Anaheim Angels Chicago White Sox Texas Rangers Baltimore Orioles Florida Marlins New York Yankees Minnesota Twins Chicago Cubs Toronto Blue Jays Kansas City Royals Los Angeles Dodgers Seattle Mariners Arizona Diamondbacks Pittsburgh Pirates St Louis Cardinals Oakland Athletics Houston Astros Atlanta Braves Montreal Expos Cleveland Indians Home-field advantage results that will start this season: The result of the poll for home field advantage during the World Series is done. The results: From a total of 18 votes- 5 votes- Winning league that's won the All Star Game. Even though this is the choice according to today's real-life league, it isn't a popular one due to the randomness. 5 votes- Continue to alternate AL- odd years, NL-even years. 8 votes- Best record hosts series(tie-breaker is run differential). In my opinion, best for transparency. There is a new inductee to the Hall Of Fame while there we won't have a new nominee for the Veteran's committee. I will post the Veteran's Committee Hall Of Fame nominees once the season starts.

11/24/2018 2003 Hot Stove League 2003 Hot Stove League Welcome to the 2002 winter meeting here in Nashville. Here is a timeline of the 2003 season up to the start of the season: #Saturday(Nov 24th)- All rookies have been imported to your team. IF there is anyone I missed, let me know. I will do a final sweep for missing players as my last chore before the season starts. I have opened drops, trades and ranking for the Supplemental draft. PLEASE use the draft if you're still short of players or have a position not manned. The minimum effort I ask is to have your team ready before the season starts. At least have an eligible player to cover an open position and your roster/lineup done..... Also due to a certain team lack of scouts for their minor league, Boston Red Sox will receive 2 players of their choice AFTER the draft to at least get closer to the minimum of 25 players their roster. - I will convert any dh positions to their second and third position that they've played in real life. I will be take requests for SP/RP conversion, provided they have pitched as both. This should give you guys enough time to trade and drop your roster down to 28 players until.... #Friday night(30 Nov@ 7pm) Drops are closed so you can do you draft choices. Reminders will be sent out the day before the cutoff(Thursday night) so you can rank players. If you have not dropped to 28 players by Friday night, I will do this for you but you might not like who I choose to drop(ie -based mostly by players' ranking.) #Sunday morning (2 Dec@ 7am pst)- Supplemental Draft Day. If you are looking to pick up players via the draft, you can drop as much as three more players because the draft is five rounds. You will need to rank your picks, this will not be automatic. The draft will be set up so you can raise your roster up to 30 players. #Monday morning(3 Dec)- Spring training starts with 8 games a day for 3 days ending Wednesday night. Your minor league and drops will open after the eighth game(day 1) which will be around 6pm(give or take an hour)PST. #Thursday morning- Season starts! Please have your 5-man rotation and lineup set. I DON'T WANT TO GO INTO YOUR TEAM AND SET UP YOUR ROSTER/ROTATION! I will fix your lineup/rotation if not done beforehand. ###The following teams are available if you would like to switch teams now: Anaheim Angels, Arizona Diamondbacks, NY Mets, Colorado Rockies and Texas Rangers. Teams will be open to anyone else on the public boards Wednesday morning. If you are wondering who I have listed as injured or DNP, message me and I'll send a team list with the year I have them listed as returning to your team(or free agents). If there is any questions or you are missing someone, let me know. Supplemental Draft Order Milwaukee Brewers Colorado Rockies Texas Rangers Detroit Tigers Tampa Bay Devil Rays Boston Red Sox New York Yankees Philadelphia Phillies Florida Marlins Chicago White Sox St Louis Cardinals Kansas City Royals Houston Astros Chicago Cubs Cincinnati Reds Seattle Seahawks New York Mets San Diego Padres San Francisco Giants Los Angeles Dodgers Baltimore Orioles Arizona Diamondbacks Cleveland Indians Minnesota Twins Pittsburgh Pirates Toronto Blue Jays Oakland Athletics Montreal Expos Atlanta Braves Anaheim Angels Reminder for the home-field advantage results that will start this season: The result of the poll for home field advantage during the World Series is done. The results: From a total of 18 votes- 5 votes- Winning league that's won the All Star Game. Even though this is the choice according to today's real-life league, it isn't a popular one due to the randomness. 5 votes- Continue to alternate AL- odd years, NL-even years. 8 votes- Best record hosts series(tie-breaker is run differential). In my opinion, best for transparency. I will post the Veteran's Committee All Star nominees once the season starts.

11/21/2018 2002 Road To The World Series League Division Series Atlanta Braves vs Pittsburgh Pirates(season series 6-1 Atlanta) Pittsburgh ended their season with the Braves and unfortunately, their playoff run ended with the Braves.

Oakland Atheletics vs Toronto Blue Jays(series 5-4 Oakland) This series went the full five as LF Shannon Stewart banged out nine hits for Toronto as the Blue Jays slipped past the A's to advance to the LCS. A's Brian Giles left the final game at top of the ninth when he injured himself twisting in the batting circle with the score tied. Cleveland Indians vs Anaheim Angels(series 6-3 Cleveland) Anaheim continued their late season surge as they swept the Indians.
