SKY was a juggernaut in the playoffs, winning their first 10 games and
going 12-2
with a 2.36 team ERA on their way to the title.

SKY used a three-man rotation in the postseason and they were all
effective.  Nestor
Cortes, acquired in a late season trade, went 2-0 with a 2.54 ERA and 30
K's; Cristian
Javier, acquired in an early season trade, went 2-0 with a 1.23 ERA and 25
K's; and
Blake Snell went 2-1 with a 1.31 ERA and 26 K's.  Alexis Diaz was lights
out in the
bullpen, allowing only one hit and no runs while striking out 14 and
notching six saves.

DRAFT
-----
The progress of the draft will be updated here:
http://almanac.ibl.org/Drafts/2024.html

We are now in the lists portion of the draft.  Matt Sivertson has
volunteered to be
the Draft Administrator.  Thank you, Matt!

Lists for round 2 are due tomorrow morning -- Monday, February 5 at 12PM
Eastern
/ 9 AM Pacific.

You will receive an auto-reply email upon receipt of your list
(no auto-reply means your list has NOT been received!)

- Subject must include the team abbreviation and round
e.g. "MCM draft list Round 2"

- list the picks you have in the round at the beginning of the message
e.g. "MCM has 2 picks: 2-7, 2-16"

- if you have no picks in the current round please send in a note
explaining that you have no picks (unless you're done drafting)

- if you have agreed to trade picks be sure to explain whose list should be
used and which picks are affected
e.g. "MCM has traded 2-16 to MAD, use MAD's draft list for that pick"

- conditions are allowed with draft lists but please keep them simple, if
they are too complicated for the Draft Administrator to follow you run the
risk of being stuck with whomever is selected

- if your conditions involve identifying players by position or other label
(i.e., choose the next relief pitcher on the list) then indicate clearly
which players correspond to each label

- you can submit a list for each pick or one long list, but if your lists
have been exhausted you will PASS on the selection

- do not submit your list as an attachment, the message will end up being
discarded by the anti-spam filter
