If you look at it that way, sure, I agree with you. All leagues have their own "OOTP Universe" of sorts, which usually takes it's own turns as the league goes on. But I'm referring to the leagues that consider themselves "realistic" in the way that they tend to take things out of the MLB, stamp it as a rule to be "realistic" when in fact, the rule they just set up isn't realistic by any means of the imagination. For example, I've seen a couple of leagues that established rules that say Team A cannot make more than 5 trades in a given season, because doing more trades wouldn't be "realistic". There is no such rule like that in MLB (as far as I know), which makes the rule unrealistic.
(edit)
I didn't want to hijack this thread at all. I wish the thread starter the very best in whatever league he decides to join.
