if you are looking to join a DMB Simulation league, email me at sirkit76@hotmail.com. It is looking like we may have as many as three openings this coming offseason (that have been hinted at. Could be more). We are a 30 team league with 25 man active and 25 man reserve rosters. All three of the expected vacancies are teams that either made the play-offs or just missed out on them this year (Oakland, Tampa Bay, and Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim). Two of the teams were managed by wives of other GMs and they grew tired of it, and the husbands have been doing most of the work and are tired of it. We sim once a week and you can set all your depth charts and such before every Friday. You can check out the league website at:

We try to keep the website updated well, but we do fall behind a little. You do not have to have the program, me or the commish run the sim (we alternate seasons). We run a 3 round draft each June/July that consists of any minor league, college, or other MLB Draft eligible players that aren’t on a roster already. We have a bidding style free agency with a fluctuating salary cap depending on improvement or regression in your team’s performance. Drafted players are under your control for 6 seasons (with an increasing salary every year you use them) and you have the option of signing them to a longer deal after their 4th season at a competitive price… but it keeps them off the free agency market. The rules aren’t completely updated, but most of the committee members can usually answer any of your questions in a timely manner.

Apologies for being late replying to your email. I am a procrastinator. So if it takes a few days, you know why. In the email just let me know the extent of your fantasy/simulation experience. I already know that you know baseball well enough, so you don’t need to try to prove that lol. I can then forward your email to the rest of the committee members.
