This is a fun and challenging league with a number of beta testers, come join the fun!

I know John is busy so I'll help out a little with the info about the league:


Main URL: Stats Only Baseball League
Reports URL: BNN Home Page
Boards URL: Stats Only Baseball League • Index page
Commissioner: John Armenia
OOTP Version: OOTPX (10.4.31 or 10.4.36)
Game Needed: YES
Players: Modern Day - Fictional Rosters
# of Teams: 14
League Time Per Sim: 7 days (14 between the Rule 5 and Spring Training)
First Season: 2009
Latest Season: 2010 Preseason
Special Rules & Settings: The league offers incentives for posting articles and also exporting, and it has no ratings visible for players how many leagues do this? We use feeders to get some statistical output on the players coming into the draft. Also, the Realistic Modern Day injury setting is used.
Currently Available Teams: FULL

The league officially opened in 2005 then quick simmed to the conclusion of the 2008 season to let the player development model start to take hold before actually taking control of the teams. The league expanded from 8 teams to 14 after the 2009 season and we had our first expansion draft. Should be an interesting season in 2010 with a number of untested players getting an opportunity in the big leagues

After one season I can tell you this league offers unique challenges not being able to see any ratings at all (not even defensive or personality). But I love it! Do you resign that 35-year-old vet who has been the model of consistency or do you let him walk and bring up the young prospect tearing up AA? Is it a career year or breakout season? Is the guy finished or was it just a bad year? How will that injury affect your star's performance?
