Strat-O-Matic Baseball 365

Hoping to play Daily 365 for the first time. Any advice you can give a new guy?
Also, a simple question…if a player is traded in Real Life, is that player also traded to another franchise in Daily 365? I would assume this is the case. Thanks for any help you can give me!

Rule #1 - Salaries are meaningless in DAILY 365. They are frozen on day 1 and whenever a new players enters the pool.

Welcome to the Daily Game! It's a lot of fun. The first leagues will hopefully open up during the first week of April.
When you're drafting or picking up players, make sure you're looking at the cards themselves, as stats and salary don't tell the whole story. A good card is a good card, even if it's a cheap guy you never heard of.
Player cards update every morning at 9 AM eastern. Always a good idea to browse free agents to see if you can replace any subpar player cards on your roster.
I'm not sure I understand your question... You can draft any player from any MLB team, and it doesn't matter if he gets traded, or even sent down for that matter. (Maybe you're talking about franchise leagues? In which case yes, you would have to trade a player if you no longer owned his rights.)
Any more questions, just ask!

Thanks, jjii66. Nice to know there are people like you who are willing to help out. Cheers!

1. ask questions....best place is probably here because of widest audience, more perspectives, and greater cumulative knowledge base.....in 1-2 years, i've probably asked at least 15 or 20 questions about various elements of the game, and can't think of any that went unanswered

2. read the forum archives especially one part where it talks about base running, and more

3. show a link to any of your teams....it's one thing to give general team building managing advice, but oftena much better learning tool is to have others review your team and point out weaknesses, upgrades, suggestions

good luck, see you at the peanut stand

Great input, Big Fred Whitfield. Thanks for the advice and the link. I'm excited to have a team to post in the very near future. I'm reminded of the feeling of opening the box of my first Strat-o-Matic game 55 years ago. Can't wait!

I got mine around the same time, lol.....remember before Amazon ??? haha....we have to wait 1-2 weeks for delivery for most things.....excrutiating for a kid haha.....

I used to send away to companies for free stickers (sometimes u needed to add a small fee), like AC Spark Plugs, or Bardahl Racing, Pennzoil, etc...which I used to decorate my lunchbox, school folders, and anything I wanted to look cool...and those also took weeks to arrive

talk about that old Heinz ketchup commerciak with Carly Simon song, "Anticipation" ;- 0

good luck, it's fun revisiting and continuing old loves Like SOM

I was never allowed to complain about slow deliveries. My Dad was a mailman. Haha

I didn’t buy stickers, but I did buy a lot of Baseball Card Packs with that piece of hardened bubble gum inside. I’m pretty sure each time it set me back a whole nickel. I still have some of those cards (at least the ones that survived the Great Basement Flood of 1976).
