Current Status of the League
« on: September 26, 2014, 11:05:42 PM »
Fellow GM's of FGM,

I am writing this letter tonight about FGM because the current status of this league is not where we need to be. This league was once the greatest league on the site and contained the best and most active GM's. It used to be the "Major leagues" of all the baseball leagues. This is the league that started PROFSL and should be the best league on the site. That is currently not the case however. It has fallen behind other baseball leagues like Moneyball and Scouting department. This year we have had more inactive members then I can ever remember in the history of FGM.

If we are going to get this league back on top, where it belongs, we need to do better. We all need to do better, and that starts with me. I have not done a good enough job as commissioner during my time. The easy thing for me to do would be to resign from my position. But I have never been the type of person to take the easy way out. FGM needs a leader, someone who can put this league back on top, and I intend to do just that.

The one thing that I must ask from each one of you is for your patience. We will not be able to solve every problem or issue over night. The most important thing that you can do is remain active in the league.

I recently brought up some proposals for changes to the league that I thought would help. I was rather disappointed with the amount of discussion and the participation we received from the current RC committee. My aim is not to insult the current members of the RC, as many members are among the most active managers we have, but to make sure that the members of the RC are doing there job to help shape the league. If we are going to improve this league then we need a strong RC to do just that. I have posted a separate thread (http://www.profsl.com/smf/index.php?topic=175893.0) asking for a roll call of the current RC members. You have a week to respond and say if you would like to remain on the RC or would like to step down. I know that many of us have busy lives in the real world and that some may not have the time to participate as much as they have previously. I just please ask you to take the time to think of your position and if you are up for the task at hand.

Another post I have added to the main board is a Suggestions board. This board will remain active at all times and anyone in the league can post a suggestion on how we can improve the league, a change they would like to see or anything else. My goal is that once we get an active RC established we can appoint someone from the RC as monitor of this board. Their duty will be to monitor any suggestions and bring them to the RC for discussion and a potential vote. I have created the board already and it can be found here (http://www.profsl.com/smf/index.php?topic=175897.0).

The last thing I must do to the league is issue a call for help. There are many tasks that have fallen behind in the league and if anyone would like to help please let me know. Currently Bhows and myself have been trying to handle all of the tasks and it is just too much for 2 people to handle. In the past Colby, Corey, Paul, Howe, Dan Wood, and Roy have all done a lot of work for the league. If any of you have the ability to help with anything and would like to volunteer your time send me a PM.

Your Commish,

Shooter

Rick should be named interim commish, he should be offered the position full time as well. We need someone to move this forward.

The rules clearly state that you need to remain active. Shooter has been largely passive this offseason. Now free agency is delayed. This league is slipping and the leader hasn't lead. This product is nowhere near where it could or should be.

A great example is the trade committee, where there has been almost no leadership. Something needs to change.

I think we need to confirm with Shooter if he can still carry out the commish duties or not and if he can be more active than he has been. If not we need to elect a new commish.

Shooter has been online for days. Colby bumped this thread days ago. I believe for thd health of this league shooter is simply AWOL and as such we need a new commissioner.

I will personally assist whomever is selected in any capacity.

  • indiansnation: Giants To Sign Blake Snell March 18th, 2024 at 8:45pm CST • By Anthony Franco 8:45pm: Snell receives a $15MM salary for the upcoming season and has a $17MM signing bonus that will not be paid until 2026, reports Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle (on X). That indicates he’ll be deciding on whether to opt out of a $30MM salary next winter, although the delayed date on the payment of the bonus reduces the team’s short-term commitment.  8:23pm: Blake Snell is in agreement with the Giants on a two-year, $62MM contract that allows him to opt out after the upcoming season, reports Jon Heyman of the New York Post (X link). San Francisco adds the defending NL Cy Young winner to the top of a staff that also includes last year’s runner-up, Logan Webb.  ADVERTISEMENT
