All across the country, hovered over laptops, ipads, phones, multiple screens, ---a multitude of men and women, anxiously check and recheck the STRATOMATIC website....wanting to be in the first few leagues of ATG 9. And with that monumental event many questions arise...

How many new players will join the fray? Rumors are "hundreds...?
Will Sutter be 8 million?
Will the trend of increasing salaries for bargain priced pitchers continue?
Will RiggoDrill still be a Yankees fan?
Will there ever be a stadium selection for Jerry Park?
Will there be a Sidd Finch card in this set?
Will we see a card for Hurricane Hazle?

these and other important questions may be answered today....or...tomorrow....or Thursday....or

stay tune

Probably not see a card for Hurricane Hazel, Roger Freed, or Roy Hobbs. Would make a great lineup though. Still awaiting for ATG 9 to be unveiled, the red carpet rolled out, test driven, and critiqued by everyone. The pricing of players seems to be the major concern. “Pedro Martinez 9.38 card was raised to 11.58... I can’t afford him now..! So were a lot of my favorite cards!” Ok, just adjust the salary cap from 100M to 110M and continue on. The 60M, 80M, 100M and so on are just standards, a starting point, a rounding out, a basis. Not so much of a big deal. And the opposing arguments will be, “You have just upset the NATURAL ORDER OF THE UNIVERSE WHERE CHAOS RUNS RAMPANT UPSETTING THE ESTABLISHED ORDER THAT HAS BEEN THE BASIS OF OUR EXISTENCE AND HAVE ANGERED THE SOM GODS THAT YOU EVEN SUGGEST WE DEVIATE FROM ACCEPETED STANDARDS!”

Huh....

Oh well..

Just my 2 cents...

Going to go hide for a while...

My teams lost again last night..

Sincerely,
Delivery Boy...

Don't forget about Joe Castle (known as "Calico Joe"), a promising 21-year-old rookie Chicago Cubs first baseman from Calico Rock, Arkansas who has posted career statistics of 21 home runs in 38 games and a career batting average of . 488. He is a man of extreme virtue, who donates his signing bonus to a variety of charities.

My guess is Friday May 1st @ 9am.....Hoping I am wrong and it rolls out Tue Apr 28 @ 9am instead.....I'm sure they are checking and double checking everything to MITIGATE roll-out glitches.....

i hope the community will be forgiving in the event it's not everything we are hoping for....it sounds like expectations might be unrealistically high.

I'm excited about GEEKing out on the bargains whatever they might be....would LOVE to finally use Kirby Puckett (my favorite player) that has been woefully overpriced and unusable all these many years.....would be great if he were the NEW Dave Henderson for $80 and $100 million leagues....probably not gonna happen....but wishful thinking :D
