Just curious about everyone's take on this since we're almost through our first season.
In my opinion, it feels like maybe the talent level has risen a bit? There have been several guys with ratings that I would have evaluated to equate to league average production but when put into action have performed a bit worse than that.
And I guess maybe some statistical evidence is that Pat Barry's OPS is 40 points lower this season yet his wRC+ is within 2 points of last year's number.

Re: Side-Effects of Contraction
I have mixed feelings on the contraction. I think the FA market became more flushed with talent making it more difficult to make trades. But I like having human managed teams rather than AI.

Re: Side-Effects of Contraction
One thing I've noticed is the odd pattern of players drafted highly recently by the old PEBA teams who then are released...
Also, we need to do something about the schedule - it has been a hot mess this season...
