Ken (Florida GM) and I have done a few last season, but his schedule didn't permit it recently.
They could still come back, given any interest/technical know-how!

I listened to one, it was very interesting. I would do one on London's woes but wouldn't know where to start.

Awesome! Welcome, David.

Welcome to the league!

Welcome David! Perhaps you can be the one to return the Underground to their former glory.

Welcome David!

Thanks for welcomes. Hopefully I can turn London around. Looking forward to writing team articles.

Could anyone give me a heads up on how good recent drafts have been and how busy the trade market is?

Check out statslab. All the history there

Welcome David! This is my first season in the PEBA and am really enjoying it so far. The trade market seems pretty active for a league with such longevity. I waited a little while to get my bearings but I made two deals this year. I dealt a middle reliever in a smaller deal and also made a second larger deal where I moved my ace SP and a pretty good platoon OF. Take your time, with the scouting it may take a little while to get a feel for things. If I had made some deals right away it might have been as ugly as my first draft! I thought the talent level was amazing but soon after realized my scout just loves "tools" players so I drafted a lot of solid athletes that aren't very good at baseball! Pay attention to the stats more than I did when it comes to draft prospect and minor leaguers. The ratings seem to fluctuate a bit with scouting on. If you're a veteran of scouting leagues you probably know this, but the PEBA was my first experience with it. Enjoy!!
