My wife gives me a hard time about my 6; I don't want to even imagine her ire at 15... ;)

I can't imagine how you found the time to manage 15-25 teams a day. Your job must give you a fair amount of breaks.

I have zero teams going right now and I sleep all day at work. I set the alarm clock for 9 hours when I clock in and get up from under my desk when it goes off. I work for the Brewers and cant find anyone to take that Jackwhip Braun so I just email the boss when I cant sleep and tell him no one wants him.

Man, I got a easy job as long as I don't read the emails coming back at me laughing at me and telling me "Good luck with that" and telling me to call that delivery guy and tell him I am sorry that I am even connected to that lowlife.

I would join the usual Friday draft plus sometimes a draft would happen during the week and joined that too. Most of my teams were unlimited cap or 200 but now I mix it up more and have been trying lower caps.


Never done a live draft (Strat) but I could see it captivating me if I did. Especially if I got all the players I wanted. :D

That was a great story, Chase. However, I was actually talking to Badjam, who said he once had 15-25 teams at once.

As I said before, managing 15-25 teams a day would probably demand a few breaks at work, if not an entire day sleeping under a desk.

Only took about an hour for daily tinkering with 15 or more teams. I'd have a couple high maintenance teams but usually it's just deciding if my regular pitchers would pitch or one of my righty or lefty dominant starters against certain teams. They were mostly high or no cap so I'd have a deep bench and a lot of flexibility when my team played on the road.

Only an hour for 15-25 teams? At 2-4 minutes a team, that's some impressive speed managing. If SOM ever brings back manager ratings and factors in speed managing into it, you'll be right there on top.

I used to play in non-tourney, non-keeper leagues more often than I do now.

I really love this game.

I love the mystery leagues, and 200x. I have fun with ATG every once in a while, and enjoy that too.

I've been in lots of keeper leagues in the last few years, and I enjoy them a lot.

I'm currently approaching the end of a really great AL round robin, and NL round robin, using ATG.

I'm going to change things up a bit in 2015 (2014 card year). I'll let my round robins complete themselves. I enjoyed them a lot, but I'm not going to renew that, just to lighten up my gaming commitments. I'm going to take a year off from the PC tourney.

A big thank you to J-Pav for taking over as commissioner for the 2015 PC tourney!

I'm staying in my keeper leagues. I'm really finding them to be interesting.

With the reductions I'm making, I'm going to just enjoy starting up and joining leagues - 200X, mystery, ATG - and just playing new leagues for the pure joy of it.

I used to say that 4 leagues at a time was all I could manage. I've been doing a lot more than that, especially during the PC tourney, and in the spring when the keeper leagues start. I'm going to cut it down to about 6 or so, and ideally 4, but knowing that the keeper leagues bulge that number upwards in the spring time especially. But most of all, I'm just going to do some leagues for the pure fun of it (maybe a live draft or 2), to experience the game without any constraints!

See you at the ballpark!
:)

PS - I hope to be gaming with you in a new league sometime soon! Looking out for some returning "friends of strat", including Marc! See y'all soon!

Ten Keepers I probably would go for one more keeper- heavy time commitment during FA draft time at the beginning of the year I usually go around 12 teams at once ( 10 keepers, 1 or 2 themes and 1 regular league but have gone as many as 14-15 if I am in the PC. And, I have no access at work--- I remember another post way back when, I think it might have been Altec, who said he had 20+ teams.
