P Michizane Nakamura. Just focus on his numbers against right-handed batters. His 9 stuff and 10 control means he OWNS the heavy side of the platoon to the tune of the .284 OBP allowed. If you have room for a righty specialist, there's probably nobody better better at this price with 2 more years of team control. OF Manny Flores . Total swiss army knife player that hit .300, stole 60 bases, and put up 4.6 WAR in a full-time role. He can play every outfield position well, and his infield ratings mean he could actually play every infield position well too, if needed. No platoon split issues. One more year of team control.

Alright guys, the merry go round has stopped spinning in Mumbai, and it's time to tear it down. The win now window has slammed shut due in large part to the recent league-wide changes in salary demands. This is a legit fire sale. Every single player on my roster is available. Normally, one would say that if it's not bolted down, it's for sale. In Mumbai, it's gotta go even if it's bolted down. This is one of the most talented major league rosters in the WBA. A bunch of perennial All Pros. Yes, some of my guys are impending free agents, but that just means that you can get them for a 5th round pick or a cheap lottery ticket prospect and try to get a head start on signing them before they hit the open market. A THIRD of the twelve top free agents according to Huck are Mumbai players. Want to win a championship? I guarantee that the team that does next season will have signed one or more Mumbai players. Don't let the opportunity pass you by. LINKS: Under ContractIsko Fflunker - It's like he was created in a lab--five tools is a complete understatement. The ratings seem outlandish. 7 contact (.300 hitter), 10 power (50 HR) with no platoon split, 8 eye (100 walks), 50 SB speed, and gold glove defense range in center field. Still earning the minimum, not even arbitration eligible. You'll need to blow me away with your offer if he's involved. Tony Gutiérrez - Probably deserved the IBL Cy Young for having an 0.91 WHIP pitching in Mumbai. 10/6/7. Stud in his prime. Signed to a very reasonable $8.7m per season contract for three more seasons. Domynguos Belsar - Two Dominant seasons in a row despite playing in the Mumbai launching pad. 8/7/6, just signed a one-year $1.4m deal. Augustyn Eidenschenk - Closing in on a hall of fame career at 2B. 4 Gold Gloves, 2 Silver Sluggers, still putting up 3-5 WAR seasons. Yi-mou Fen - It's not easy to find a gold glove SS that can hit 20-35 HR a year. But this guy can. Just $2m per year for two more years. Manny Flores - Tore up the IBL after being acquired at the trade deadline. Exceptional fielder that will hit .300 and steal 40 bags. Not even arbitration eligible yet. Impending FA (so available for super cheap if you want to try and sign them before they hit free agency and get bid up by other owners)Jesús Huerta - Best third baseman in the IBL, maybe the world. 14+ WAR over the last two seasons. Serhat 'Conman' Karpat - The greatest SP in WBA history. 7/7/7. One more good season left. Asking for $11m. Balya Virendra - One of the best closers in the league. 10/7/6 with a career 2.73 FIP and 149 ERA+. Asking for $8m.

Monday January 27, 2110 (MUMBAI) The Mumbai front office has just emailed season ticket holders that the conman cometh. Serhat "Conman" Karpat, wideley considered one of the greatest pitchers in WBA history, is on his way to Mumbai to lead the Cobras rotation. And that's not all. The Cobra private jet is making a short stop on the East coast of the USA to pick up Mumbai's other pitcher acquisition, Andrés Ortíz. Mumbai manager APMP hopes that Karpat immediately takes Ortíz under his wing and mentors him during his transition to the IBL. Little needs to be said about Karpat. Still going strong at 35 years of age, Karpat will be the highest paid player in Cobra history this year (and probably the next two years as well). Ortiz is a strong, durable righty with a 95 mph cutter and, like Karpat, a propensity to keep the ball on the ground. This will be vital at Cobra park, which fans around the IBL affectionately (and sometimes derisively) call "the launchpad." Anything can happen in the WBA. But at this point, it's safe to assume that the Mumbai brass is probably done with the blockbusters. They may need to start digging in the couch cushions though. $20.7 million comes out to a lot of rupees.

With Andy Stone having been traded in a blockbuster to Melbourne and then immediately dissing his new team, Mumbai manager AP MP fielded several questions regarding the Andy Stone saga in today's press conference.
"Man, I haven't ever seen so many reporters here to ask about a FORMER player!
The following is my official statement on the matter, and I won't take any other questions...you'll have to ask Andy or our league commissioner.
Andy had an opt-out after this year but never indicated that he would exercise it. In fact, our original plan was to sign him to an extension, effectively forcing an 'opt-in,' and we even started discussing it with Andy. But we quickly learned that we were just too far apart. Andy's age and injury history meant we couldn't offer the money or years he wanted. So, ownership decided to include him in the package being sent to Melbourne.
I feel for Melbourne, but there's nothing I can do. When Andy was traded to Melbourne on October 26th, he was a Cobra, and had not opted out of his deal. When the league executed the trade a week later on November 2nd, he opted out immediately following the trade execution, which resulted on Melbourne being unable to start talks on negotiating an extension with him. When I came into the office on November 2nd, I had a message from Andy's agent that Andy opted out. I think the agent just screwed up, because the the ink on the Melbourne deal was dry, and even the mail message telling me Andy had opted out listed him as a Melbourne player."

For the second offseason in a row, Mumbai went out and hugely upgraded their offense. Last year, deals were reached with Singapore to add Ninfa Sator and with Paris to add Harsendu Dhruvasula. Both players paid immediate dividends, putting up all-star caliber seasons as Mumbai romped to the IBL Championship Series. Chicks dug the longball. Perhaps emboldened by their ability to win high scoring games in 2109, and still feeling the sting of not being able to land Cheslav Zamorov, the Mumbai brass has now added Bhuvanacandra Dwijen to what is clearly most fearsome lineup in the IBL. As an added bonus, Dwijen very likely has the team friendliest deal in the entire WBA. Nearly 200 years after the New York Yankees' famed Murderers' Row, Mumbai has one of its own. Behold the Cobras projected batting order when fully healthy (2109 stats in parentheses). - CF Ninfa Sator (.268/.405/.463, 32 HR and 62 SB out of the leadoff spot)
- 2B Augustyn Eidenshenk (.327/.363/.469, 224 hits to lead the IBL)
- 1B Ahvana Subbarayudu (.335/.411/.631, missed his second career triple crown but still hit a personal best 51 HR and set the single-season RBI record with 155)
- LF Harsendu Dhurvasula (.285/.416/.521 with 33 HR and 37 SB)
- RF Bhuvacandara Dwijen (.257/.374/.575 with 47 HR and 133 RBI in Melbourne, now moving to a friendlier hitter's park)
- SS Yi-Mou Fen (.245/.319/.479 with 36 HR and 102 RBI)
- C Kitaba Nzibo (.294/.370/.519 with 28 HR)
- 3B Ah-Cy Liang (.241/.349/.425 with 17 HR and 75 runs scored)
While Dwijen is clearly the headliner in this latest trade, Imazighen Kitur also comes to Mumbai in the deal and adds a quality, cost-controlled, shutdown arm in the bullpen. Kitur, Roberto Flores, and Balya Virendra will form an impressive late game trio, and that's before you consider the tantalizing (yet still unrealized) potential of Chua chay Chan and the possibility that future hall of famer and longtime Mumbai favorite Falco Venema returns. It would not be surprising if Mumbai looks to add starting pitching depth during the winter to try and offset the loss of veteran leader Andy Stone and the ace potential of Abjeljilill Abedi to a division rival. But the team has a definite identity for the foreseeable future. Chicks dig the longball.

Mumbai is exploring changing up its roster composition a little bit in an effort to get over the hump. Players open for discussion include: SP Jose Ramirez - He's a legend in the twilight of his career but still can give you 150 innings with a 3.50ish ERA. He's an impending free agent with a demand of $5 million, which I can offer but can't really afford. I'm happy to to a sign-and-trade or maybe even trade him to you outright if you want to take a stab at signing him on your own. I suppose you could wait until he's a free agent but hey, we all know the WBA is notorious for overpaying free agent pitchers, so why not beat the competition? Harsendu Dhurvasula - 5 star player, a power/speed guy that is especially nightmarish for RHPs. Easy candidate for 25 HR and 80 RBI in the middle of your lineup, and blazing speed to swipe 35+ bags a year. Super Durable. Only $3.9 million salary. I'm willing to part with him for the right price (which will be high). Bhuvacandra Dwijen - 5 star player that's an even better bat than the previous guy but doesn't have the stolen base capability. We're talking MVP level - .310 50HR 130 RBI (which is what he put up a couple years ago). Laughable $1.7 million salary this coming year. Expected to fetch a ransom if traded. Those last two guys are my starting corner OF, and I'm willing to consider moving one of them to add a superlative defender/high average guy in CF so I can move Sator out of CF. Mumbai also continues to look for a long term answer at catcher and I suppose I'm always interested in cash/pitching help (this season I think I have a stellar rotation but could listen about bullpen help).

It's not April 1st, so people don't quite know what to make of manager AP MP's comment (captured on video, secretly, by a fan late last night) that the Mumbai brass were going to make a push in the upcoming owner's meeting to ban Left-Handed Pitchers from the IBL.
"They're the devil to our offense...the ABL can have them, and ownership agrees," grumbled the longtime Mumbai skipper. "Sure, bin Fath is a great kid and has a chance to be our first homegrown pitching star, but Virendra was a disappointment. And did you see our bats go silent against Black Forest?!"
Crazier things have happened, but in this humble reporter's opinion, the chances of this rule change going through are about as high as Santo Domingo's chances of taking the WBA crown next year.

So I was able to recover the first 4+ rounds of the IBL draft from a version of the Draft Selections page that was in my Google Chrome cache from Friday. If anybody here has a more recent cached version of that page, this same process can be used to recover additional rounds. The Chrome cached version of the page was compressed in gzip, so I used a modified version of the python code at https://gehrcke.de/2013/09/recover-a-gzipped-html-response-from-the-browser-cache/ to decompress the page. Attached are the cached compressed page from Friday (called "ootpou.htm") and the recovered html page (called "decoded.html") after running the python code. As you can see, the decoded HTML page renders just fine in browsers and includes all of the picks in the first four rounds, plus the first two picks in round 5. So does anybody have a Google Chrome cache of the IBL draft selections page from later in the weekend?

This will require an amendment to the WBA Constitution, so starting a discussion thread.
My proposed implementation involves the team sending the pick to make a draft selection according to the receiving team's reference during the draft. Or the commish can make the selection. The commish would move the drafted player to the correct rookie roster post-draft. If needed, $1 could change hands if something has to be exchanged from each side.
Example: Mumbai trades Darchiev to Santo Domingo for 2006 1st round draft pick.
Implementation:
Mumbai receives $1 today
SD receives Darchiev today
Mumbai tells SD to draft Mikel Trouts next draft.
SD drafts Trouts.
After draft, Mumbai receives Trouts, SD receives $1.
Mumbai votes FOR this proposed amendment.

Looking for a top flight starter since I've lost my ace for the rest of the season in the middle of a pennant chase.
Willing to discuss most prospects and I also have some middle infield surplus at the major league level.
