pitcher opening on Peppers
(Preview)
The 55+ Peppers' roster is pretty much set, but we could use a starting pitcher. Should be able to log at least 4 or 5 innings by about June 1st. We were slow out of the box last year, going 0-9, but each game suggested that our record was an improving 0-9. We won 5 of our last 6, and nearly won all 6. We're eager...

Your opinion requested.
(Preview)
Does anyone else feel like this whole draft in the 55+ division should not be decided by the managers? This whole issue of a draft is too emotionally charged, in my opinion for the decision to be left up just the managers. Each of the managers has their own agenda, whether it be that they need help making t...

I have heard a couple of people propose a very simple compromise. What say you 55 GM's?
(Preview)
More than one person weighing in on the "Great Draft Debate" have proposed a very simple and effective compromise.
