Also it's super fun throwing leagues together, just be careful about retiring a team cause you can't bring them back...has been something I've run into a couple times that kind of bummed me out that's why I brought it up.
Anyway enjoy!

Good point on the retiring of teams. I likely wouldn't retire any teams but just assign them to lower level leagues/minors as the universe develops.
I'll leave the "joke" issue alone after this comment. It may truly be innocent in nature but a dry wit almost never translates well to the written word, especially in internet forums. At the same time, I have been on these boards on and off for eleven years and have seen a long term pattern between good-natured humor and unnecessary needling with a wink and a nod.
This obviously is not isolated to our community here but, intentional or not, it leaves a bitter taste and creates a toxic environment in what should be a fun and relaxing diversion. It is a shame as all involved have such great knowledge of the game (both OOTP and baseball IRL) with most posts being very helpful and constructive. It just got to me last night. I apologize for feeding the distraction and will focus my comments only on the game going forward.
