The Commissioner's Corner - Week 1

The Commissioner’s Corner

From the man that brought you Weekly Matchups and The Month That Was series, he now bestows upon the greatest fantasy baseball league known to man The Commissioner’s Corner.

The Commissioner’s Corner will be posted weekly (hopefully) and will be a quick rundown of notable historical milestones, incentive updates, and other stuff I probably haven’t thought of yet. 

Longer, more ambitious articles and league analysis will pop up sporadically from the best writer in the DD, but for those not named Richie, I encourage you to get your own stuff up there. 

Kurt, no more hiding under the “but I’m busy being commissioner” excuse.  I want vintage Kurt this year – History Could Be Made’s and random shit that no one would think to put together.

Alex, I want to see more statistical data analysis that I don’t understand.

James, for god’s sake write a trade analysis.

Jarrett….keep, uh, just keep.  Keep.  Jason Keepnis.

So without further ado, 2015’s first Commissioner’s Corner!

League News

Good luck to everyone in their futile attempts to prevent the second ever Diamond Dynasty title defense.

I can get 50% off tickets for select Yankees games.  They are all during the week but there are 3 on Fridays (one in August, two in September).  I’ll send out another survey sometime soon to see if we can come to a consensus on one of the games.  Most of you said you’d be up for a trip – time to put your money where your mouth is!
