YC1 Update
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??website now for free and their full ratings will be available (for purchase) in approximately one week.
?
Looking forward to another great season! |

Re: Unlimited ABs for 600+ PA-are we using it?
We are not. We increased the usage % and have unlimited crappy players? On Sat, Jan 4, 2025 at 9:07?AM Richard Tackabery via <rtackabery=[email protected]> wrote:

League Resources
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. |

Re: Important Update
The maintenance of the ROSTER tab on the Google spreadsheet has become a nightmare to maintain, and I will no longer be maintaining it. The Google sheet will now be used for everything EXCEPT the rosters. Those can be found in StratDraft. Those looking for the 2024 stats for all teams can find them under Draft Views, View My Competition.
?
The 2024 stats, and the 2025 YTD stats can be found here once the new season starts, ALL THE WAY AT THE BOTTOM of this page. |

Important Update
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.

Update
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. |

Update
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 |

SOM Range Ratings
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.
