2025 DTBL All-Stars
Posted by: Kevin -- Fri, 11 Jul 2025 01:41:37 +0000
The 31st DTBL All-Star Game is tentatively scheduled for next Thursday, July 17 at DK Memorial Field, home of Marc’s Mavericks. Last year, the National Division All-Stars ended their three game losing streak with a 4-3 victory. It continued an impressive streak of closely contested Mid-Summer Classics. The last time an All-Star Game was determined by more than two runs was way back in 2017.
With National Division teams currently occupying four of the top five spots in the league standings, you might expect them to have a clearly stronger All-Star roster. I’m not so sure that is the case though. I would give the National squad a slight edge on the pitching side. However, the American squad looks a little deeper on the offensive side at first glance by me. There are far fewer first time All-Stars...

2025 Player Adds/Drops
Posted by: Kevin - 02/22/2025 11:24:47 - in DTBL DiscussionWith today being the first day with a full spring training game schedule, what better time to release the first draft of the players who are slated to be added to and removed from the league roster for the upcoming season? This could be a fluid list, so please let me know if you think the...

I will be posting the official draft roster in just a bit. One late change to the RP list. Since David Robertson remains an unsigned free agent, I have dropped him and replaced him with Boston's Justin Slaten. Since Kyle Finnegan re-signed with the Nats this week, he will remain in the league.

2025 Position Changes
Posted by: Kevin - 02/19/2025 22:50:19 - in DTBL DiscussionFor the past several days, I've been working on the 2025 DTBL player pool. I'm more or less done with hitters, but still have some work to do on the pitching side. I hope to have the first draft of the player add/drop lists ready in the next couple days. In the meantime, I do have the l...
2024 PAR update
Posted by: Kevin - 11/15/2024 12:54:20 - in DTBL DiscussionA heads up that I completed the post-season PAR update last night to incorporate 2024 league-wide stats into the formula and then re-ran the '24 PAR totals for individual players.
For hitters, most players saw their PAR drop a bit, particularly among guys who racked up signifi...
2024 Player Adds/Drops
Posted by: Kevin - 02/24/2024 17:21:55 - in DTBL DiscussionHere is the first version of the list of players who will be added to, and removed from, the league roster for 2024. Notably, there is a bit less turnover than usual this year. At the moment, we have 108 players who were not part of the league a year ago slated to be added for '24. This...

I hate to do this on such short notice before the draft begins, and without an official injury treatment plan being put in place. But in light of Lucas Giolito being diagnosed with a partial UCL tear that will likely cost him the season, I think I'm going to go ahead and replace him in th...

2024 Position Changes
Posted by: Kevin - 02/21/2024 22:41:29 - in DTBL DiscussionI'm just about done with my first draft of the 2024 DTBL player roster. But first, let's go over the players who will be changing positions in this league this year. As has been the case in recent years, this is another pretty long list. It's both quantity and quality this year. There ...

Posted by: Kevin - 02/20/2024 11:33:42 - in DTBL DiscussionOver the past few days, I've been hard at work compiling the pool of players who will make up the league roster for 2024. I should be ready to post the official position change list, soon followed by the first version of the player add/drop lists in the next few days. But first, a draft ...
2023 Player Adds/Drops
Posted by: Kevin - 02/27/2023 21:13:37 - in DTBL DiscussionBefore I get to the list of players who will be added to and removed from the league's player pool for the upcoming season, I want to mention that I made a slight adjustment to the position distribution of these slots. Somewhat counterintuitively, despite the NL now having a full-time des...

With today's news that Gavin Lux tore his ACL and will probably miss the entire season, there isn't much reason to keep him on the league roster for '23. Since he was slated to move from SS to 2B (in this league), I'm replacing him with 2B Tony Kemp.

2023 Position Changes
Posted by: Kevin - 02/24/2023 22:06:25 - in DTBL DiscussionIt is nice to finally be back to a relatively normal spring training schedule. I guess that's not entirely true with the World Baseball Classic set to begin in a couple weeks. But at least the regular season has a definitive start date this year. So we are going to return to our usual s...
2022 PAR update
Posted by: Kevin - 11/11/2022 11:57:25 - in DTBL DiscussionI have completed the update to all players' 2022 PAR values. As a reminder, this post-season update is done to include the recently completed season's numbers in the PAR formula, replacing the oldest of the five seasons worth of data that is used as the historical baseline. Throughout th...
PAR update
Posted by: Kevin - 04/02/2022 11:43:02 - in DTBL DiscussionBefore we get into the 2022 season, I want to mention the 2021 PAR update that I ran a couple weeks ago, shortly after the lockout ended. Usually, soon after the season ends, I run an update on the player PAR totals for the recently completed season. These updates incorporate adjustments...
