WINTER BBM

Winter BBM allows you to replay the baseball season after all the stats are in.

Sounds easy?

Well, you'll still have 9 other managers in your league trying to do the same, and you'll still have to maneuver your team during a 54-game season. And it is a well-know fact that ballplayers would rather be playing golf in Florida in February, so you will need to find a real good way to motivate them!

There are a few basic differences in rules during the Winter BBM season:

  • All players who played in the previous regular season will be active for the winter season.
  • In the case of traded players the league that the player finished the regular season in is the league that player will play in Winter BBM.
  • All stats for all players are available, and will be used randomly on a daily basis.
  • The draft in all winter leagues will be a four-round draft with all infielders drafted on one day.
  • Each league is on a slightly different draft schedule depending upon when the league filled with 10 teams so please watch your headline pages as it will tell you exactly when your league's draft begins.
  • The winter league season is 54 games. There aren't playoffs in winter leagues, however the Commissioner will buy an ice cream sandwich to each manager who visits the Commissioner's Office in the Bronx within a snowball's throw of Yankee Stadium.
  • We will be stocking the BBM store with appropriate winter attire so stop by and visit sometime. Batting gloves take on a whole new meaning.
  • We are currently in contract negotiations with representatives of the Abominable Snowman in the hopes that he will sign to throw out the first pitch in all BBM Opening Day games. Apparently, his representatives are worried that he will re-aggravate a rotator cuff injury suffered during an arm-wrestling match with Godzilla so they are proceeding with caution.
