The podium is on the stage at the north end of the Ballroom, and entering from a side door, the PEBA Commissioner ‘Harry’ Castle walks to the stage…

10:03 AM
Welcome Ladies and Gentlemen – welcome to the 34th Annual PEBA Winter Meetings!!

10:04
The PEBA DJ was unfortunately on a data-crunch, or bad signal, or F-U internet leave, and he apologizes for not providing his normal array of hits…
Sean - Kentucky
10:05 AM
I am around all day - willing to discuss most players on Kentucky
Mike - Borealis
10:05 AM
Welcome everyone – GM’s, owners, and the few media members who have been permitted to attend the events – you’ll notice Mark Gunter in the back trying to hide from George Crocker. Today we have a few items of League interest to discuss – but I’m sure that the bulk of the discussions will happen behind curtains, at the bar –
@Lenny- Bears
is already in-line for a bourbon – Dude, it’s not time yet. We may even see conversations under the tables of the Ballroom…

10:07
Before we get to the mundane, I want to congratulate the Florida Farstrider organization and GM
@Thad - Farstriders
for the organization’s ninth Rodriguez Cup.

10:08
We’d also like to congratulate the 2040 Sovereign League Champion Tempe Apollos and their GM
@Brian - Tempe Apollos
– Apollos for their fine season, returning to the PEC – and first since the 2013 season and their long banishment to the WIL.

Brian - Tempe Apollos

Mike - Borealis
10:09 AM
Procedurally, please send any trades you have in a Direct Message to me, Dylan and your trade partner. Please be sure to include the ACTUAL (not what you think) minor league level of any minor league player dealt. Once we announce the trade, please post it in the forums as normal. The Commish will then confirm the trades and adjust the Draft Pick Trade Tally as needed.
10:10
We will move through the four days of Winter Meetings (plus one day) throughout our time here and any announcements of signings will be made at that time. When we are done, we will have a new file posted for you to download.
10:11
ALERT: One of the most important things to remember is if you have Rule 5 players to protect, you must do so before Tuesday’s sim!!! Or forever hold your peace. No roster moves are allowed between Tuesday and Thursday’s sims. This is very important if you’ve traded for a Rule 5 eligible player!
10:12
I will also make every attempt to sweep up any FA who may sign in the next sim…
10:12
@Dylan - Wind Dancers
, do you have anything to add?
Kevin - Evas
10:12 AM

All of my arms (except Castillo) are available at the right price. Barra would be very expensive, but theoretically I could move him.
The pen is wide open for the right price. Some good talent there.

It's time for the results of the preseason predictions from 2040. Thanks to all who participated. Like in golf - lowest score wins. First I would like to congratulate Dylan for picking all 3 IL award winners correctly. Also some fun facts on the predictions... Chuck predicted the Dixie all correct and Great Lakes completely wrong; Mike the Rising Sun all correct but Transatlantic all wrong; and thanks to all for the most people not being able to figure out the Great Lakes again this year. And now for the results:
11:20
Bob infinite parallel universe
Sean 12.5
Mike 1
Frank 1
Dan -3
and now for our top 3 winners.....
11:20
in 3rd place we have

ANNOUNCEMENT: (edited)
Mike - Borealis
11:36 AM
With the advent of the Development Lab and its (potential) overlap with traditional PEBA Winter Ball, I will remind you that players who are chosen to attend Winter Ball are not eligible for Development Lab in the same offseason. Those who have attended Winter ball in the past are eligible and those who go to Winter Ball this offseason are eligible in the future. This prevents any developmental ‘double-dipping’ during any one offseason.
It is incumbent upon the GM to be honest about this, as it is acknowledged that checking is tedious - but note that any violation will cause the player to revert to their previous state.
Thank you.
Kevin - Evas
11:43 AM
Should we have a Dev Lab log?
Mike - Borealis

Fargo’s 6th round pick
Fargo receives:
RP Fernando Sanchez (PEBA)
Frank - Amsterdam Lions
12:17 PM
I'd take Cedeno's peak over Lujan, who's the 3B that's just ahead of him in career WAR. Lujan was quite valuable for a few seasons after he turned 37, and Cedeno was basically done at that point.
Brian - Tempe Apollos
12:17 PM
Right about the time he became an Apollo
Dylan - Wind Dancers
12:18 PM
I think the longevity of a player's peak erases those final years of low production.
12:18
If he was a one or two season star then sucked for the rest of his career, that would be one thing (edited)

Knopp, Raines, Lujan if we are looking at WAR.

It's been 3 seasons running now that Knopp has not won a Royal Raker.
RJ - Sandgnats
12:24 PM
He's slipping

Dylan - Wind Dancers

Knopp - 107 WAR in 8 seasons (active)
Raines - 96 WAR in 19 seasons
Lujan - 95 WAR in 18 seasons (active)
Cedeno - 86 WAR in 18 seasons
Frank - Amsterdam Lions

As stated above, he should quit

We should make him wait a season to get elected just to see heads explode.
Andy - Fishermen
12:27 PM
joking aside, it would be crazy if he's not 100% if he keeps it up
Sean - Kentucky

Considering he has got a good chunk of that WAR against me, I don't think I should need to vote him in as well.

Yep. That would have been great, Andy

I think the next round of players to be added is looking kind of thin, so maybe we can clear out more long time guys next time

Procedurally, please send any trades you have in a Direct Message to me, Dylan and your trade partner. Please be sure to include the ACTUAL (not what you think) minor league level of any minor league player dealt. Once we announce the trade, please post it in the forums as normal. The Commish will then confirm the trades and adjust the Draft Pick Trade Tally as needed.
10:10
We will move through the four days of Winter Meetings (plus one day) throughout our time here and any announcements of signings will be made at that time. When we are done, we will have a new file posted for you to download.
10:11
ALERT: One of the most important things to remember is if you have Rule 5 players to protect, you must do so before Tuesday’s sim!!! Or forever hold your peace. No roster moves are allowed between Tuesday and Thursday’s sims. This is very important if you’ve traded for a Rule 5 eligible player!
10:12
I will also make every attempt to sweep up any FA who may sign in the next sim…

It's time for the results of the preseason predictions from 2040. Thanks to all who participated. Like in golf - lowest score wins. First I would like to congratulate Dylan for picking all 3 IL award winners correctly. Also some fun facts on the predictions... Chuck predicted the Dixie all correct and Great Lakes completely wrong; Mike the Rising Sun all correct but Transatlantic all wrong; and thanks to all for the most people not being able to figure out the Great Lakes again this year. And now for the results:

ANNOUNCEMENT: (edited)
Mike - Borealis
11:36 AM
With the advent of the Development Lab and its (potential) overlap with traditional PEBA Winter Ball, I will remind you that players who are chosen to attend Winter Ball are not eligible for Development Lab in the same offseason. Those who have attended Winter ball in the past are eligible and those who go to Winter Ball this offseason are eligible in the future. This prevents any developmental ‘double-dipping’ during any one offseason.
It is incumbent upon the GM to be honest about this, as it is acknowledged that checking is tedious - but note that any violation will cause the player to revert to their previous state.
Thank you.
Kevin - Evas

I'd take Cedeno's peak over Lujan, who's the 3B that's just ahead of him in career WAR. Lujan was quite valuable for a few seasons after he turned 37, and Cedeno was basically done at that point.
Brian - Tempe Apollos

Right about the time he became an Apollo
Dylan - Wind Dancers

I think the longevity of a player's peak erases those final years of low production.

We have our 12th Trade of the 2040 Winter Meetings:
12:43
The Gloucester Fishermen and Amsterdam Lions have agreed on a deal…
12:43
Gloucester Receives:
CF Jorge ‘Bucky’ Rosas
Amsterdam Receives:
LF Jack Tate (A)
Gloucester 4th Round Draft Pick
Andy - Fishermen
12:43 PM
And almost 5, if Long or Benjamin get 1 more vote, would be 5?
Kevin - Evas
12:43 PM
Yep. That would have been great, Andy
12:44
I think the next round of players to be added is looking kind of thin, so maybe we can clear out more long time guys next time
Andy - Fishermen
12:44 PM
I am 90% sure I voted for both of them so...not on me.
Michael - Hitmen
12:45 PM

@channel Please remember that with today’s post-WM sim, you MUST roster any Rule 5 players you want to keep - and there is no rostering of players between Tuesday and Thursday’s Rule 5 draft!!!
