Home Plate Baseball League - OOTP 6.5 League - Looking for One

Raderick · 10-30-2006, 09:32 PM

Hello all!

The Home Plate Baseball League (http://www.hpblbaseball.com), an OOTP 6.5 online league is looking for someone to join a very active and outgoing online league. We've been around since March 2004 in one form or another, so we have longevity and interest in making this league work long term.

The league is currently in the middle of free agency, but you still have time to sign some top players like Carlos Lee and Brad Radke.

This league is nowhere near the usual run-of-the-mill online league that many have been a custom to. Here are some of those reasons:

BOSI Database
CATO Database
Custom Financial system. We use a revenue sharing, payroll expenses cap (not to be confused with a salary cap), our own three-tiered cash cap that is based on revenue from the previous season and a luxury tax system - all of these do that does what we want to achieve, keep the league competitive, give the small market teams the ability to make competitive moves, and let the large market teams be able to spend (with a cost).
Franchise Player System
Active owner base
Full and small league files for your Internet connection taste. The full league file is 14.12 MB and the small league file is 4.25 MB (as of Sunday's sim)
All new rules are voted by the league owners.

The openings are for...

The San Francisco Giants. The team has had a revolving door of poor ownership and is in need of that one GM who can committ some time into rebuilding this team. The pitching staff is pretty good but the hitting needs a lot of help.

The St. Louis Cardinals missed the post season in the 2006 season, but they continue to field a playoff-ready team without an owner. They may have one of the best line-ups in the National League, while their pitching staff is average at best.

The New York Mets made it to the World Series as the wild card last season, why we don't know, but they did. The team has a good combo of solid hitting and a good but aging pitching staff.

If you are interested in joining the league, please send an e-mail to raderick24@cox.net or create a post on the Non-Owners Forum.

I am very surprised that no one is interested in joining this league.

We now have an opening for the Minnesota Twins. The team won the American League Central in the 2006 season, but their owner went MIA and was relieved of his duties.
