All,
Just wanted to state my activity level may have appeared down this year as I didn't login much or trade much. But I was setting lineups this summer, working from my fairly deep minor league roster for fill-ins most of the time. I was again hampered by my summer work duties, but this summer was my last at camp. I hope to have more free time next summer.
I also want to say I want to give this league one more shot in 2014. If I can't put the Royals in the top five by end of next year, I'm going to bow out. It's been frustrating watching the same teams win year after year, and I'm beginning to question if I have what it takes to compete in this style of league. I've been managing this team since 2008, and while I feel I've made the team better than it was, it's been a painful process.
That said, I look forward to figuring out what to do with my team. I'll probably wait until mid-December to make any major trades as I always like to do research beforehand, but we'll see how it goes.
Best,
Shawn
