I've started an MLB stats-only league. It's now 2019, I expanded to 32 and took an expansion team (The Idaho Vandals (I'm a Navy fan but the Vandals are cool)). Did the expansion draft after one season at the Cubs and drafted only via stats and history.

It's awesome.

Seriously, if you've never done S.O., try it. Now, I've left fielding ratings on since you need something to grade fielding on (scouts process fielding in their reports so why can't I have it?) and I've left the stars on using only my scout's and not OSA at all with teh 50-33-17 system.

It's awesome.

The rookie draft is truly hit or miss and when one of your picks hits it's pure elation. My first pick as the GM of the Vandals just won the ERA crown in 2018 as we hit our first playoff season.

When you can pick up an All Star from a salary dump using only stats and history and turn him into the franchise leader in just about every offensive category except SB (Brandon Belt), it's just great.

I'll never go back to ratings. You've won another over, Wolf.
