Expansion Seattle Mariners - Stats Only
 

I am starting a Historical Replay of the Seattle Mariners, starting with their 1977 Expansion. I will be playing stats only, except for Fielding and Speed. Granted, there will be some name recognition but based on what I'm seeing, the vast majority of players are unknowns to me.


I will be using the AI Player Evaluation Settings of 67/22/11 with Trading Difficulty set to Average/Neutral. Player Ratings are set to OOTP Engine, rather than Auto Recalc.


My first step will be trying to set the 1976 Amateur Draft to June instead of November because when I start the game up, it tries to give me #2 pick in the 1977 Amateur Draft (Toronto Blue Jays #1)

The 1976 Amateur Draft has been completed!


Some big picks were Eddie Murray to the Astros, Lou Whitaker to the Braves, Alan Trammell to the Twins, and Jack Morris going completely undrafted. He was picked in the 2nd round in my Test League, so I'm not sure why that happened. He's listed as "Fragile" although the Scouting Report sings his praises.

Playoffs saw 3 of the 4 real playoff teams , with the Phillies beating out the Big Red Machine, and ultimately prove the victor over the Yankees in the WS.

I suppose this should be in Dynasthy threads rather than Historical Sim?

I copied it over. This thread can be closed.
