NGBL: 1 Opening (Texas Rangers)

exoverge · 02-21-2005, 12:51 AM

The "Next Generation Baseball League" (NGBL) was formed under the concept of owners picking current teams and then simulating 10 years into the future to give the league a fictional feel, yet also preserving the MLB roots. Two and a half calendar years and 10 seasons have now passed since the inception of the league and the fictional players are almost in full swing giving the league it's own unique personality. We have since expanded to 32 teams and continue to make changes to improve the league. The league features an incredibly active ownership base that is serious about baseball, but also not afraid to let loose and have alot of fun.

We currently have 1 opening as we finish up the 2021 playoffs and enter into the 2022 offseason. Now would be a great time for an owner to start so he could get in there and make some immediate changes!

The TEXAS RANGERS have floated around .500 for the most of their in the NGBL. They are a solid team in need of an owner who can push them over their current state of mediocrity. The have two of the better hitters in the American League. 1B, Sanjurou Yasuhiko led the AL this season with a .375 batting average, a full 33 points higher than anyone else. Jose Solorzano (3B/1B) was signed by Texas last season via Restricted Free Agency and didn't sit on his contract. The corner man enjoyed his first 30/30 season slugging 34 HRs, driving in 122 RBIs and stealing 42 bases.

LEAGUE FEATURES:

- Currently Running OOTP 6
- Heavily customized website (http://www.ngbl.net) that takes BOSI v2x to the extreme
- Marketing revenue split equally among the leagues 32 teams
- Coaches / Scouts turned to OFF.
- RFA: All players 3.5 stars or greater with minimal loyalty will be exposed to a "restricted free agency" type process. These players will be exposed to open bidding, but the current team will also be given a chance to match the winning contract. For anyone tired of leagues that don't have elite players hitting the market should find this very appealing.
- Australian Fall League - This league gives teams a chance to send their prospects to play baseball in the fall. Teams are eligible to earn points to help "fill out" their player's ratings.
- United Asian League - The NGBL has come to an agreement with the United Asian League. This agreement will allow a limited number of UAL players a chance to play in the NGBL. All UAL Free Agents with a minimal loyalty will be permitted to negotiate with NGBL ballclubs. If the NGBL ballclub submits an offer greater than a UAL ballclub, the player sticks in the NGBL.

I would love to jump into this league. I've been looking for a league that showcases a "developmental league". Email has been sent.

Don't miss out on a chance to join one of the better leagues in the OOTP community. A decision will be made in the next couple of days.

A Texas owner has been found and accepted the position. I would like to thank everyone who applied for the Rangers.
