Friends, sometimes life does, indeed, trump fantasy. I, personally, am going to have a much more busy Summer than I ever anticipated.
Heck, as evidenced by my absence from the publishing table for the last week or so, it has started already, and it has become clear to me that I – and my lack of time – will be a big obstacle in the middle of FBTM’s short-term future.
What does this mean for Fantasy Baseball Trade Market?
Unfortunately, until further notice, you’ll see much less content on the site. I’m afraid that this will be true for the remainder of the season. While we will still try to add something new as often as we can, it has become clear to me, that I have to manage to life’s priorities. To do that, something has to take a back seat. Writing, editing, and publishing will have to be that “something”.
Rest assured, as I can, I’ll still keep you up-to-date with daily “across the board” performers via Twitter (@TradeMarket) or Facebook. I’ll answer any e-mail questions that you send my way (or get it answered by one of the other Traders). Just e-mail me at fbtrademarket@gmail.com. I’ll toss out some of my famous editorial rants as time permits. Plus, I still plan (hope?) to roll out my “take” on – and method of measuring – quality starts.
Amidst all of this chaos, though, the good news is that the FBTM leagues are all cruising at full steam. Those will continue on under the FBTM banner, but I just don’t know if I’ll have time to report on our progress until the season ends. Finally, if invited, I hope to make a few more podcast appearances in an effort to help keep the Fantasy Baseball Trade Market name “alive”.
After my personal “dust” settles in the Fall, I plan to head into next off-season by running the 2nd Annual FBTM Expert Slow Mock Draft. Like this past Winter, we’ll hold a series of weekly mock drafts as well as promote a lot of pre-season keeper talk and player evaluation. But, in the end, we’ll have to see what life brings.
Until then, however, I thank each and every one of you in advance for all of your support and patience. Please keep us in the back corner of your mind, and remember … if you need some advice, we’ll still be here. As always, we’ll be very happy to help!

It’s not an easy job going from being a fan of the Tribe to a Braves fan is it? I did happen to notice that even with your very busy schedule you still seem to have found a way to claw your way to the top in the Premier League. Good luck with the move and all your future endeavours. Tim@RotoRob
