Dream Team Baseball League

Because he's one of the more intriguing players in this year's draft, I want to bring everyone's attention to Ben Rice and make sure you are aware of the rules regarding catcher eligibility so you aren't caught off guard as to what his position could be in future years. He's likely to only moonlight ...

Before I get to my first draft of the 2026 player add/drop list, a very relevant announcement. I believe for the first time since this league expanded to ten teams, I am increasing the size of the DTBL player pool from the 400 it has been set at for almost three decades. I'm adding ten new slots to ...

I'm just about done with my first draft of the 2026 DTBL player pool. As is customary, I will kick things off with the list of players who will be switching positions for the upcoming season. Coincidentally, of the seven players switching positions who were keepers this year, more than half (four ...

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.

With 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 there are any ...

For 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 list of ...

A 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 significant steal totals ...

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 the draft ...

Here 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 is down from ...

I'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 are some very ...

Over 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 procedural ...

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.

Before 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 designated ...

It 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 schedule of ...

I 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 this season ...
