OOTP Developments Forums - View Single Post - Anyone created a Random Debut League yet?

Only in his third season, but Ron Santo appears to be on a OOTP mission to make sure no one questions his whether he is hall of fame worthy in OOTPland. Santo won a triple crown in his rookie year which of course led to a league MVP award as well. In his second season his average dropped to .312, but he continued to drive in runs at monster clip. He's currently hitting .380+ in June of his his 3rd big league season and once again he is driving in runs. Santo hits 3rd for the Seattle Mariners, right in front of Trevor Story who is also an rbi machine. The Mariners have been to the post season multiple times and finally won a World Series in 1986. They are once again right in the thick of thing in 87 trailing the White Sox by a 1/2 game.

Cal Ripken, like Santo is also in his 3rd season in the bigs. Ripken stars for the St Louis Cardinals. Ripken hit 47 bombs in 1985, followed that up with 45 in 86 and currently has 18 in June of 87.

Addie Joss looks like he may be the first pitcher to reach the century mark for wins. Joss currently sits at 88. The above screenshotted Rich Wilkens is right behind Joss and Rube Waddell is right behind Wilkens. Waddell and Joss are division rivals with Waddell pitching for the San Diego Padres and Joss for the Los Angeles Dodgers.

I'm really loving this years version of random debut, but I'm still worried the complaints are coming in regards to how fringe type players are having successful careers. After 6 seasons, Mandy Brooks is one of my leagues top home run guys. Brooks in real life played 116 games back in 1925/26. He hit 15 home runs total, but he did hit 14 over 349 at bats in 1925. Brooks success in my random is a huge surprise and is a great storyline. Wilkens being among the wins leaders is another surprise. Benny Ayala hit 47 home runs back in 1985 and followed that up with a 20+ bomb season in 86. He's hitting them at a solid clip in 87 as well. Thing is, I'm also seeing great performances by great players as well. Rod Carew has won multiple batting titles and has a career batting average in the .340 range after 5 and 1/2 seasons. In the past few years it was common for Carew to hit for a lower average as the leagues were in my opinion too stacked with superstars.
