Minor League Ball 1986 Replay using Strat-O-Matic

Guys:  Thought you might like this... Sporting News is rerunning every game of the 1986 baseball season using their online strat-o-matic product.  They've got some celebrity managers running some teams, like Curt Schilling (Red Sox), Doug Glanville (Phillies), Will Leitch from Deadspin (Cardinals), and Sean Forman from baseball-reference.

Disclosure:  I'm working at SportingNews these days, but I still think it's pretty cool.  Glanville's been blogging, and it's been really interesting stuff.

Minor League Ball Strat O Matic

Hey guys:
Any Strat o Matic players out there?
I'm new to Strat, but I've kind of been bitten by the "bug"...

Where do Strat guys hang out online?
Do you play the Computer game version, the original dice, or the online stuff at SportingNews.com?

If you play multiple versions, I'd love to know what the pros and cons are.

Thanks for any help/advice/suggestions

Minor League Ball Fantasy Baseball Emergency

Here we are, just 2 weeks away from the start of the seasoon, and TQStats comes out with a brand new release.  And let me tell you, for a deep league - people who love minor leaguers - it's awful.

We've used them for more than 10 years, and they threw away all our history. They jumbled our rosters, and changed our salary structure, and every team is missing minor leaguers, and not even obscure ones, but the Yunel Escobars of the world.

No warnings, no beta - nothing.  As commish of this 19 yr old league, I have to tell you I'm fuming.

I think All Star Stats is going to be my replacement, as others won't support our categories, and CBS has issues with their commissioner site navs...  I'm an online marketer, and I'm lost trying to figure some things out, and whether or not they'll fit with our arcane setups.

AAArgh!

Any ideas?
