SARMLB 2030

Lead Story - 2/16/2019 2030 MLB Season Preview +: Over .500 -: Under .500 #: Playoff Berth AL East Toronto Blue Jays +# Baltimore Orioles + Boston Red Sox - New York Yankees - Tampa Bay Rays - BAL- The 2nd Wild Card race will come down to the Angels and Orioles. While the Orioles will certainly benefit from a full year of a resurgent Alex Abercrombie, their season banks on resurgent seasons from Tyler Rice, Colby Coleman and Larry James, among others. Unless those guys return to form, I don’t see a postseason appearance in the cards for the Orioles. BOS- The Red Sox continue to try and build a competitive team despite financial limitations. But a lack of serious star power in the rotation will come back to haunt them. NYY- The Yankees signed two “big time” pitchers in Val Donald and Earl Wall as former ace Michael Arroyo continues to age. But they continue to lack a good bullpen and their great offense has been bipolar over the last five years. This will lead to another losing season for the Yankees, as the memories of the great Yankees continue to fade away. TB- The Rays continue to rebuild, so another losing season should be in the cards. However, they might be closer to taking over this division than you may think. TOR- Despite what the World Series trophy says, the Blue Jays were a better team than the Twins last season. I expect the Blue Jays to be the best team in baseball this season. (Tbh everything after the Blue Jays winning the division should be taken with a grain of salt) AL Central Minnesota Twins +# San Antonio Bandits - Detroit Tigers - Chicago White Sox - Kansas City Royals - CWS- Let’s just make this clear: the White Sox are terrible. But they will likely avoid the bottom of the division because of another horrific team... DET- While I do see a better showing than the 68-94 season they put up last season, it will be a long time coming before this team is competitive again. KC- The Royals opened up the checkbook just a little bit this offseason, but make no mistake: they are not even CLOSE to competing. MIN- The Twins took a couple of big losses this offseason, as Huey Allegri signed with the Dodgers and Zac Dickson elected to sign with SD. But this is the AL Central, which the Fraternals could win even with a minor league squad. It probably won’t last for long though... SA- If there is one team that could legitimately take over the AL Central in the future, it would have to be the Bandits. They have shown aggressiveness this offseason in free agency, signing Cedric Bishop, and have the potential to be a great offensive team. It’s still a long road before this team can become contenders again, but the future is very bright. AL West San Jose A's +# Vancouver Volcanoes +# Anaheim Angels +# Seattle Mariners + Texas Rangers - ANA- Two years after tanking out of a postseason spot, the Angels look like potential contenders for the West. As I stated before, the second wild card will come down to the Angels and Orioles. The Angels made a lot of big additions to their roster (Huey Lyles, Caleb Cuthenburg, etc.) and hope that youngsters Egan Kelly and Eric Breiner make big impacts. It would not be a shock to see the Angels in the middle of a heated race for the division. SEA- The Mariners have been one of the more confusing organizations in baseball. A year after winning 82 games and seemingly headed towards postseason contention, they sold off pieces last season. This year, a mid-80 win would not be a shock by any stretch, but I wouldn’t be shocked if they sold off again after that. SJ- The A’s made moves this offseason with Tomasevsky and Archer, and all signs point towards a breakout season for young SS Kurtis Freeman. The A’s will avoid a fourth straight wild-card game and prevail to win the division. TEX- In case you missed it, it’s roster blowup season, as the Rangers run out a AAA roster (and Robby Nelson) for 2029. VAN- The Volcs followed up a World Series season with a great 103-win season but lost to the Blue Jays in three in the ALDS. It’s no surprise, as the offense on this team currently consists of Abe Owens, the hope of a resurgence from Victor Carter, and a bunch of all or nothing hitters. Their lethal rotation has made them a division winning team every year, but I believe that next year will be a different story. NL East Atlanta Braves +# Philadelphia Phillies +# Washington Nationals - New York Mets - Pittsburgh Pirates - ATL- Down by a few games in the standings last season, the Braves came back to win the division and were two games away from the World Series. The Braves are about as complete a team as the Blue Jays and Padres and will give the NL a tough time. NYM- The Mets have had some potentially great players on the field over the last ten years, but it has never clicked for them. One has to believe that maybe it’s time to get young and sell off the team, as it does not look like the Braves and Phillies will ever slow down. PHI- The Phillies are still a great team, there’s no doubt about that. But the Braves have developed into a much better team and after a painful Wild Card Game loss last year, it might be time to stop praying for a Philly Championship. PIT- Last year started out terribly as team chemistry problems arouse for the first time in the Dale Waller era. While they “rebounded”, the Pirates dynasty came to a CRASHING halt last season and I fully expect the Pirates to hit the bottom of the division for the second year in a row. WAS- The Nationals could be so much better, but they failed to effectively use the budget space given to them. If they had a good offseason, they could’ve competed with the Braves and Phillies. Instead, they are looking towards another losing season. NL Central Houston Astros +# St. Louis Cardinals - Milwaukee Brewers - Chicago Cubs - Cincinnati Reds - CHC- The Cubs finished 38-122, having the worst record in the modern era in MLB history. Most of their money went towards getting two great relievers, but that may not be enough from preventing another 100-loss season. CIN- If you were expecting decent Reds baseball this season...you were dead wrong. HOU- The Astros put out the best rotation in baseball last year and didn’t lose much besides Brent Honeywell. You combine that with a good offense and...who am I kidding. The Astros will run away with this division...again. MIL- Once again, it’s roster blowup season out here. The Brewers are in a decent position to build for the future, but for now, just focus on the tail end of Mike Trout and Clayton Kershaw’s careers and Alex Donald crushing baseballs. STL- The Cardinals will finish second in the division...with less than 75 wins. NL West San Diego Padres +# Las Vegas Gamblers +# San Francisco Giants + Arizona Diamondbacks - Los Angeles Dodgers - ARI- The Diamondbacks made some improvements last year, and I only expect them to get better from here. Another great season will Yamasaki will only help the Diamondbacks develop into a potential danger in the NL West. LAD- This is the part where I would suggest selling off players and starting fresh, as there is zero chance the Dodgers can try and compete this year, but everyone already knows that there is no chance in hell that happens. LV- The Gamblers send out a great offense led by Felix Stuart and a pitching staff that could potentially do some damage in the NL West. However, they will play in the Wild Card game for the second year in a row because... SD- Jay Slater might have overtaken Bragan Kelly as the best GM/owner MLB has seen over the past 15 years. This offseason, the Padres turned a dead Jake Thompson contract into Zack Dickson and Yentura Ratoe. On paper, the Gamblers look like they field a slightly better squad. But if anyone knows Slater, there will be great moves to make as the division race gets tighter. SF- Lost in the shuffle between the Padres and Gamblers are the quietly waiting Giants. Last season, they were right there in the division race before collapsing and missing the postseason completely. This year, I would expect more of the same: a three-team bloodbath for that division title, and the losing two teams fighting with the Phillies for those two wild-card spots. Postseason AL 1.

The Padres will be looking for vengeance after losing in six last season, but they will be no match for the Blue Jays. The series will go to a full seven games, and the Blue Jays will come out victorious to start the new decade. (BTW, if this all plays out, it would be 122 years of misery for Cubs fans)

Lead Story - 2/10/2019 A NOTE TO NEW OWNERS ARRIVING FROM THE JOIN LEAGUES PAGE! (If you have been an active participant in SARMLB, this message should not concern you.) Welcome to the league! You should be receiving a message shortly after joining. Keep in mind that this league is different from any other custom league on PC. I would highly suggest reading the rules and asking questions to the commissioner (bbfan20013) and longtime members of the league (bragankelly, jayslater, etc.), as well as reading this. https://www.pennantchase.com/home/tips If you are new to PennantChase or if you have a shaky reputation around the site, you will be put on "strict watch". Besides looking at the rules and asking questions, I expect you to do the following: 1. Do not join the league and then immediately quit. This is the most frustrating thing to see as a commissioner running a public league. If you do this, then you are getting banned from the league. 2. If you are quitting and rejoining to get a specific team, don't do that. PC automatically assigns you to a team based on a predetermined order from when the league started. You must message the commissioner to move you to a specific team. 3. This league REQUIRES owners to actively improve their team by trade or free agency. As per the rules, if you are inactive on Pennant Chase for 15 days, I reserve the right to boot you from the league or remove you from your team. Moreover, if I get a sense that you are just sitting there doing nothing with your team, I will cut you from the league. 4. All the moves you make will be placed under strict watch. If I feel that a move you made has no intention of improving your team, I will reverse the move and message you telling you why I did it. If you make another move, I will give you a warning. If you make a third bad move, you will be cut from the league.

At the weekly offseason press conference, Aaron Boone was asked about the 2030 season, and the loss of three players in the Rule 5 draft. “We feel pretty good about 2030,” Boone stated. “however, there are still question marks, as the organization continues to recover from the mistakes of the previous GM.” Boston has just missed the playoffs for the last 2 seasons, and while fans are excited about the team, they are not optimistic about 2030. “We have some great teams in this division, Toronto is a juggernaut, Baltimore has Abercrombie, and even the Rays are looking more competitive,” said Boone, “we have our work cut out for us this season.” When asked about the Rule 5 draft, Boone replied “We just don’t have the cap room to bring in any more developmental type players. We feel like we are building a solid minor league pipeline, which should pay off in a few years. We believe Keith Shaw was maxed out as a AAA player, or backup at best. Defensively, he brings value, but we are happy with the signing of Ulrich to play 3B. Bud Curry, same thing. Bringing in Wilson Bailey to compete with Li at SS, we saw Curry as a career AAA SS. It looks like Milwaukee will start him at 2B. We didn’t like losing Leo, but with so much OF depth in the organization, he may never have gotten a shot honestly.” With Spring Training just around the corner, it will be interesting to see if Boston has made the right moves to stay relevant in 2030.
