It will be most interesting to me seeing where players who played in the LMB in real life turn out. Like Leonys Martin hitting close to what he did with Querétaro last year, or Cheslor Cuthbert (who played in the MexPac for Obregón) being a stud for Charros here. Also, is Cool Papa Bell a 2 way player or will he evolve like he did irl? When he entered the LMB back in 1938 he wasn't much of a pitcher anymore.
Another sidenote in case it wasn’t on your radar: Durango has been owned by Grupo Caliente since last year irl, which is why they have that name. Caliente’s the biggest betting brand in México, owned by the pretty shady Hank family (another rabbit hole right there). They’ve definitely got the money to build a competitive team (they already own 3 professional football clubs), but maybe they're using their casino influence to win the division, if you know what I mean  |
Feel free to add any flavour whenever the mood grabs as I know absolutely nothing about the league and would love to learn more. About my Conspiradores, in particular.
Are there many players who played in both the LMB and MBL? Would you have a list of them handy? If so, I'll make notes on the player pool spreadsheet and alert you when they are coming in.
CPB has come in as a pitcher only but I am pretty sure he'll become either a pos player or 2WP when his hitting develops.
