OOTP5 League has Two Openings

[rem]

<a href="http://www.orioleshangover.com/abl/abl.html">ABL OLDSCHOOL</a> is a 1996 Historical League which has almost reached the 1999 Trade Deadline and finds itself looking for a Reds and Cards GM. But first a bit about the league, one of the main drawing points of the league is the unique experience of watching today’s players develop in the minors. Towards that end we do not import rookies from a database based on debut year but instead the Commish creates them based on year drafted preventing players from immediately being major league ready. I know of only one league which uses this approach and that league is molded after this one and run by a friend of mine.

Details:

• Three Live Seven Day Sims Per Week (Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday @ 5:45 during the week and 3PM on Weekends)
  
• Average 10 GM's per live sim. I'm hoping that a new 5:45 sim time will draw 15 or more GM's. Record is 17.
  
• We use Catobase and BOSI
  
• We let the winning Managers in the LCS select the Reserves and Pitchers. Starters, as with end of season awards, are elected by the league
  
• Free Agent Compensation System
  
• Active Message Board with plenty of article content, including a ghost writer.
  
• E-Mail is sent post sim and headlines (complete with pictures) are included on the Front Page after nearly every sim
  
• In the leagues nearly one calendar year of history only two sims have not been run live (one because only one GM showed up) and no sim has been missed without advance notice.

Back to the teams, both present a difficult challenge. The <a href="http://www.orioleshangover.com/onlinerosters/team26.html">Cardinals</a> have 85-90 win talent but have the second highest payroll in the league. Rebuilding around <a href="http://www.orioleshangover.com/onlinerosters/p1528.html">Marcus Giles</a> (8 in hits) would probably be the wisest move. Prospects <a href="http://www.orioleshangover.com/onlinerosters/p1654.html">Austin Kearns</a> and <a href="http://www.orioleshangover.com/onlinerosters/p1598.html">Aubrey Huff</a> should also be considered cornerstones although they are still developing.The <a href="http://www.orioleshangover.com/onlinerosters/team23.html">Reds</a> are more of a challenge having little talent aside from <a href="http://www.orioleshangover.com/onlinerosters/p10.html">Robby Alomar</a>, who unfortunately has the richest Free Agent contract in league history, and 17 year old Double-A pitcher <a href="http://www.orioleshangover.com/onlinerosters/p1732.html">Jerome Williams</a>.

This is a top notch league run by a dedicated commissioner. Many high quality GM's who have taught me alot. The message board can get spirited but it's all in fun. This is a great opportunity for a veteran or rookie to online play.

This message has been approved by Uncle Buc.

The Yanks came open and were filled almost as quickly, so we are still looking for a Reds and Cards GM.

This is one of my favorites....probably because i have won 2 of 3 world series. Huge diversity with gms. We have new guys, old guys, smart gm's, a couple of those wierd ones. You name it we got it, and it has been a ton of fun.
