This past weekend, I experienced some technical difficulties that led to a profound sense of loss for me: the Excel spreadsheet that I had been using to keep track of updated MLB rosters for the past five years or so somehow became corrupt and stopped functioning. I encountered the same problems with all the various backup versions I tried, so I'm assuming the issue happened many months ago - possibly due to passing the document across different computers using Dropbox, or too much copy-pasting of cells with too many different formats, or maybe it just fell victim to the general bad luck that seems to befall every electronic device I come into contact with. In any event, while it was frustrating to lose the past 2+ months worth of work I did to keep it up to date since the end of last season, I now get the chance to step back, take stock of the situation, and decide what's really important for me and my database needs.
But unfortunately, the hot stove season won't wait for my soul searching, and the transactions are piling up. Luckily, after the 2018 season, I uploaded a truncated version of my database to Google Drive, where it still lives in all its color-coordinated glory. I haven't decided whether to use that document as a starting point for 2019, or if I want to start completely from scratch (possibly using the player pool from the next MLB: The Show video game as a baseline, since my workbook was getting rather crowded with obscure free agents and inactive players who I couldn't bring myself to delete). But for now, I'm going to use this Google Drive version to bring back a feature that I like to do every year (sometimes twice!): All-Acquired Teams!
Obviously, with the offseason still in the rather early stages, these lineups won't pack a whole lot of punch, but the benefit to starting this early is that we can see a representation of how the transaction market develops. As with previous offseason versions of this feature (as opposed to the trade deadline versions), I'm going to make separate rosters for the AL and NL, and as with my 2018 Fantasy Astrology Recaps, I'm going to use this post as a hub with links to both rosters and also some charts taken from my database. Enjoy!
