Anyone need someone for an email fantasy league for next year?  I follow
baseball fanatically enough that I've decided I should give it a try.
Ready to start any time... and I'm very dependable.

Hey folks,
   I'm acting commissioner of a roball league, and we have a conflict
brewing.  In general, we have rosters of 23 players.  Every two weeks,
you name who will be your starting 9 hitters, 4 starters, and 1 closer
for the following two weeks.  At the end of the two week period, those
stats are rolled into your totals for the year.  Here is the problem.

   Some teams have taken to making what they're calling "temporary
trades".  Things like "I'll give you Clemens for Sheffield, on the
condition that either of us can reverse the trade after two weeks."
In this way, people temporarily avoid slumps and injuries by finding
someone with a complementary problem.  I'm sorta torn.  On one hand,
that is what trading is about, and in theory such a thing could happen
in real life - one team is short an outfielder for a few weeks, but
has a surplus of pitching, another team has the opposite situation, so
they trade until the injuries are resolved.  On the other hand, some
managers have pointed out that this has a great deal of potential for
abuse, and I think they are 100% correct.

   Any thoughts/suggestions?  Anybody out there have a similar situation in
their league?  Anyone want to remind Ron Gant how to hit?

	Now that you mention trades, we just had one in our league,
not involving me (I'll get to that in a sec).  Here it 'tis:

Reimer ($14), Vaughn ($18), Cone ($21), Drabek ($13), Gooden ($29),
                          for                         Gooden ($29),
Olin ($3), T. Greene ($5), Lofton ($5), Harnisch ($5), andzalez
Juan Gonzalez ($5)


What does everyone think?

And mine (this was made last year):

I gave up:  McGwire ($24), Tartabull ($1), Ryan ($14), Nokes ($1),
            and C. Davis ($5)

I got:      Avery ($5), Puckett ($11), VanPoppel ($5), DeLeon (Ack!)                        E. Davis (Ack! $30!), and Biggio ($5)

Subject: More on Kevin Mitchell

Organization: Microsoft Corp.

Yes, Kevin Mitchell is going on the DL, but its not
really serious. When he sprained his toe the other
night, during the examination the doctors discovered
he had a stress fracture in his foot. He should be fully
recovered within 6 weeks.

As to the long-term picture, things look good. Mitchell
vowed to lose at least 20 pounds before next season. He
won't be jumping teams, either-- "I like it here, I plan
to stay awhile" was the quote. So you AL owners don't 
have to worry about him demanding a trade. He's bought
a house here so I really believe him.

I'm confident Mitchell will have a big year next year,
now that he's had a year to get used to AL pitching
(notice how much better he hit in the 2nd half of
the season), and after another year of healing for
his wrist, which he is now admitting really affected
his power this year. Keep in mind that both Edgar and
Griffey will still be batting in front of him next year--
does wonders for those RBIs.

(Of course none of this really matters, since its looking
more and more like there will be a lockout next year.)

Here are mine.  The names of the other GMs involved have been deleted to
protect the guilty.

Most lopsided for my team:  Last year, I traded Cal Ripken, Doug Jones, and
Tim Burke, and got in exchange:  Barry Larkin, Mark Langston, Chuck Finley,
Edgar Martinez, Brett Butler, David Cone.

Most lopsided against my team:  Before this season, when I sent McGwire,
Steve Finley, and Tony Fernandez for Lankford, Palmer, and GW Harris.

My favorite one was in '86:

I traded:

R. Henderson, W. Upshaw (remember him?), D. LaPoint (remember *him*?),
and some other player of no consequence.

I got:

W. Boggs, D. Mattingly, K. Puckett, and some pitcher.

This was the first time I had played Rotisserie, so I didn't take
advantage of the enourmous lead I had in BA after this trade was made.
Still, I'll never forget what one of the other GMs said to me when I
asked him what he thought of the trade: "You got robbed, Noel."

I have just assumed control of a team in a PBM league that uses

team from my roster I ran into one problem. Does Tim Naehring (boston
ss) have a card this year? He is listed on the super-advanced SB-CS
list but I can't seem to find a card for him - did I lose it or does
it just not exist?

On another note - when using the super advanced rules I found the X
chart for pitchers and catchers - but what abouut position players?
That green thing doesn't look right. Isn't there some chart on the
blue fold out sheet for that?

Today's Toronto Star listed the Dodgers as having sent Astacio out yet
again.

Me, I'd let Pedro's ERA get up over 2 before I sent him back down.
(And, according to your post, he has a 3.25 ERA in Albuquerque as a
starter.  What on earth are the Dodgers doing?)

But what do I know about quality starting pitching?  I'm a Jays fan; I haven't
gotten to see much of that lately.  :-(

Hi, all.

  The MUDVIL Rotisserie League is looking for two new owners for next season
to run expansion teams. Some notes about our league:

1. It's based in the NJ/PA area, with Draft Day being held annually in
Willingboro NJ. You *must* be able to make it to Draft Day to be an owner.

2. We're an NL league, playing by (more or less) straight Rotisserie rules.
Next year, we're adding Runs and Strikeouts as our 9th and 10th statistical
categories. There are currently 10 teams in the league; we're adding two
to keep pace with NL expansion.

3. Our expansion teams will be allowed to draft players from the existing
teams, just like the Marlins and Rockies. This should give them a fighting
chance to be competitive.

4. Our league has been going since 1986. As a result, we're pretty good at
this, IMHO. Beware.

5. We play for a reasonable sum of money - 20% of the base rotisserie dollar.
Thus, your $260 worth of players on Draft Day will cost you $52...

6. Our stats/transactions/etc are all done via email.

Let me know by email if you're interested. All applications will be considered by
the owner's committee (just like Real Baseball (tm))...

	I think your mode of thinking is correct.  Although he has had a great
AA-AAA season, the Dodgers have no reason to bring the 'kid' up.  Hernandez has
indeed been doing an admirable job offensively (let's not talk about his defense
tho, ok?), and the best Piazza could hope for is 40-50 AB for the rest of the
year.  LA is wise to keep him down.

OK, I'll confess.  I've done two blunders.  Last year,
early, I was getting killed by Deshaies and didn't
really believe that Grissom was for real, so I traded
Deshaies and Grissom for Kal Daniels and Mike Maddux.
Deshaies went on to have a miserable season and
Maddux had a good one, but for a reliever, not all
that great (a few saves, a few wins... decent ERA/ratio
but not a lot of innings overall...), but Daniels disappeared
and Marquis stole another 45 bases or so... 
Maddux' salary was $10 & I didn't keep him;
Grissom was at $10 through 1993 (now extended, 
$20 through 1995) and Daniels was in the last year
of his contract.  I ended up with Deshaies again as a 
free agent this year...

Then early this year, Mike Morgan is 2-4 4.2 ERA, Hollins
is hitting .230, McElroy has 3 saves in the first week and
looks like he's the closer... I traded Morgan, Hollins and
Teufel for McElroy, Gary Scott and Geronimo Pena/Luis Alicea
and had to throw in my #1 farm pick for next year...

so, Morgan starts throwing shutouts, Hollins starts hitting
a ton, Teufel even hit ok for a few weeks; McElroy has only
gotten 3 more saves for me, Scott is gone (replaced by
Colbrunn) and I've gotten good results from Alicea and
Pena while they've been healthy, which hasn't been much
of the time.

Pena is at $5 though, so at least I might have something
to show for it if he plays next year.  I had to waive
Alicea a couple of weeks ago because I was shortstopless 
and couldn't swing a trade (Pena was still DL; now I have
Benavides for SS and cut Rex Hudler).

But I did pick up Deion Sanders for Alex Cole.  Sanders is
at $7 and Cole expires (coming over from the AL for a player
not owned means that you go on the waiver wire but only
for the rest of the season).  And Eric Karros & Sid Fernandez
for Kal Daniels and Bruce Hurst.

And before 1991 I traded Hal Morris at $10 for Bip Roberts
at $12, Marquis Grissom at $10, Mike Morgan at $4 and
Paul Assenmacher at $7.

So, win some/lose some.

PS I tried to void the Hollins/Morgan/Teufel deal because
I was sick with food poisoning all day and the other owner
kept calling and beating on me to do a deal before the
weekly deadline, but the commissioner said that was my
tough luck...

	Ban such trades.  In our league, there is an (unwritten) rule that a
traded player may not be traded back to his original team for a period of 
thirty days.  Temporary trades simply create too much potential for abuse.
