TBL gearing up for 2017 draft

tblThe Transcontinental Baseball League is nearing their 2017 draft and by tradition, there is no lack of analysis, water-cooler talk and outright gossip about what teams will take who and when. 

The managers of the TBL take pride in their league and they go all out in writing up pre-draft summaries.  They are detailed, thought-out and even include TBL’s brand of humor.

All are very worth a read. 

Good luck to all of the TBL managers in the 2017 season!  Thanks to Steve Stein for passing this on!

I am an IT consultant by day and an APBA media mogul by night. My passions are baseball (specifically Illini baseball), photography and of course, APBA. I have been fortunate to be part of the basic game Illowa APBA League since 1980 as well as a frequent participant of the Chicagoland APBA Tournament. I am slogging through a 1966 NL replay and hope to finish before I die.

    Snort.

  2. Do you have all the owners you need?

  3. Interesting reading.

    ILLOWA League has its draft in early March. The pool of draftable players appears to be similar.

  4. Matt Benham: Yes, we had one turnover this year. Our league is very stable – we don’t have much change.

    If you send me an email at , I can put you in touch with our commissioner so we can add you to our backup manager list.
