New 1995 historical league looking for owners

Sabermetric Baseball · 08-31-2010, 12:21 PM

League: Sabermetric Baseball Sim (SBS)
Website: Sabermetric Baseball Sim
Reports: Major League Baseball Home
Sim Days: Sunday, Tuesday, Thursday

The Sabermetric Baseball Sim (SBS) is starting fresh with a 1995 historical league. We were originally an extremely active OOTP 10 league with 3,500+ forum posts, but have recently decided to restart and after tossing around a few options came up with this starting point. Unique to this league is that all players are starting with their MLB debut team (rather than their team on 1995 Opening Day).

We are using a specially-crafted database that has all players enter the league in their age 18 season (instead of the year before their MLB debut like with Lahman). This database does not have the same problems as similar databases floating around here. All fielders have reasonable fielding ratings, all pitchers have reasonable endurance ratings. All rookies have correct service times. All teenagers start out with reasonable ratings, instead of being MLB ready as a teenager.

Coaches, scouts, free agent compensation, and Amateur Draft bonuses are disabled. We are using "Low" for the injury frequency, and "Average" for position player fatigue. There's a $125 million salary cap, and a $25 million max cash. All ratings are on a 1-10 scale. This is *not* a recalc league.

This league has an Arizona Fall League where teams can send their top prospects, and a [league redacted] league with a bidding system.

You can see from the web site that this is a heavily writing-based format (the articles can be ignored, as they were written for the OOTP 10 league). Writing is not required, however moderately high participation is expected to keep up with everyone else.

Please email sabermetricbaseball@gmail.com if you're interested in joining or have any questions.

Good question, that might be valuable information!

Here's a list of the currently available teams, I've had quite a few owners join already. I will edit this list with updates as they become available.

Houston Astros - Home Page
St. Louis Cardinals - Home Page

As an owner I can attest the previous version of this league is well run with some great owners.

Its your chance to change history

Just joined the league a couple of days ago and in my book, first reactions are everything. I can report that entry was friendly, informative and professional.

After opening up the league file ... the mix of players are pretty well spread out, I think it is going to be alot of fun.

High recommendation for this league and without reservation at this time.
