5dkl league draft - B_T@ylor7 on clock til 4:20pm EST

Greetings Mike,

Been a pleasure engaging you here--I'm a newbie to this whole prospect thing and am still finding my way, but all the owners in this league are great owners, baseball fans, and just great people!

We all will approach the decision point you've reached, and we're sad to see you go. Glad to hear your health is doing fine--good luck and good fortune to you!

Dear Friends:

The time has come for me to retire from StratOMatic. I will miss you all and wish the best for each and every one of you. My health is ok but I have headed into the "whats next" period of my life and I need to make some adjustment.

Respectfully
Mike Lopp

I copied Mike Lopp's post to this page so that everyone would be better able to see it, since the original post was at the end of the previous forum page. If anyone has any suggestions for a replacement manager, please feel free to contact me with a suggestion, else I will post a call on the message boards at the beginning of next week.

Oh man, All the best, Mike!

I'll ask our other league to see if anyone else wants to join.

Thanks,

Ted

One-of-a-kind keeper league seeks new manager to replacing retiring manager. As the league name suggests, you have the opportunity to reshape your rosters numerous times during each calendar year. Each draft offers a different twist as well, since no two draft formats are exactly the same. We have 40-man active rosters, as well as 20-man "minor leagues" comprised of prospects. Check out team8 (highlighted in yellow) on the league spreadsheet to see the current team roster. The final draft of this calendar year, limited to players who made their MLB debut in 2024, will be held in a few weeks.

2003 season play has concluded in this league, to be resumed once the 2024 card set is released. In the interim, there will be three abbreviated drafts: two free-agent drafts and one prospect draft. Thus, there is year-round "action" in this league.

This franchise will pick 3rd in each round of the upcoming "rookie" free-agent draft.

All drafts are four rounds, except spring free-agent draft where a team is allowed 12 picks.

If you are looking for the most entertainment for the buck given the announced price increases at Strato 365, then this league might actually be for you.

If you are worried about the time it will take you to rebuild a team into your own image of what a baseball team should be, the structure of league will provide you a faster path to that goal than any other keeper league that I am familiar with.
