YC1 Marco Luciano eligible for injured reserve available for a draft pick
I will trade him to whomever offers the best draft pick by tomorrow night, assuming I get at least one offer. For the past five years he has consistently been one of Baseball America's top 60 prospects. Larry YC1 Texas

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. 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

YC1 League Update
2
We now have a full league other than a manager for the Chicago Cubs. I will have one for them 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
