The 2019 TBL Annual 3 the TBL baseball annual Welcome to the 2019 TBL Baseball Annual. This is the twenty-fifth year of the Annual in the book format. This year we’re looking at the rebuild – certainly one of the most discussed topics in every TBL offseason. We’ve assembled a collection of insightful articles, including our lead from Robert, Joe Auletta’s deconstruction of the concept of rebuild, a Rich Meyer discussion of unbuilding, and a scholarly discussion of bullpens from Paul Montague. The staff would also like to thank Craig Musselman and Joe Auletta for help with Year in Review articles. Our usual collection of team and division articles, and most of our usual features are here. Once again, we’re glad to present the best of TBL, our great APBA league, now old enough to run for President. Enjoy the Annual and enjoy the season. Walter, Robert, Mark May, 2019 The T.Q.
