Dynasty - United Players League

[Clemente21PIT]

Hi!

I've noticed that player dynasties are becoming more and more popular. So, I have decided to make an iOOTP Player Tracking Dynasty.

About 5-8 players (depending on number of player names received), will be added to the 2014 draft in a fictional league and I will track them, provide stats, and give league updates every month of the season. Every draft, another player will be tracked until I reach a total of 15 players. When players retire, I will add an additional player. I hope for this dynasty to be similar to the Adopt a Prospect thread on the OOTP Dynasty Reports forum, but with the AI making all the player decisions itself.

The league will be 24 teams, with 4 total divisions, divided among 2 sub leagues. Trades and Finances will be on and I will manage an automated team that rotates each year. I will have no impact on the team since the computer will manage it.

If you have the time, please come up with a player name, number, nickname (optional), position (and two backup positions), and nationality (optional). Players will be assigned the highest possible potential ratings I can assign to them. Thanks!

Thanks to ZTO333 for the idea of starting a player dynasty!

Additionally, if you have ideas for team name and location changes, let me know, I may just add them in!

I hope to start reporting on my league tomorrow!

[ZTO333]

Wow thanks for mentioning me! This is gonna be really interesting. Here's my player:
Name: Charlie Church
Nickname: Diesel
Position: 1B, C
Number: 24
Nationality: American

I'd prefer a lower contact, high power kind of player if possible. Thanks!

[Disco Dog 13]

Great idea there mate!!!


Name: DISCO DOG
Position: SP
Number: 13
Nationality: BRITISH

Some obscure pitches please not a fastball .... Bit like RA Dickey

Not fussed with a massive potential .... Just sufficient to be a 4th or 5th man in a rotation

[phillupi]

Count me in.

Name: Salvatore Lateano

Nickname: Sam

Pos: CL

Number: 13

Nationality: Italian

Must have a screwball and 100+ Fastball. If you need a 3rd pitch make it a change up.

[johan25]

Sounds Awesome!

Name: Johan Froeberg
Pos: SP
#19
Canadian

Must throw a forkball. Lots of movement but only throws around 87-89(like a Mark Buehrle)

Unfortunately, he cannot be Italian.
So, if you could pick one of the following, that would be best.

Make him American.

Here are the ratings and overview of Salvatore Lateano:

BTW: if you would like any edits to your player, let me know!

[Clemente21PIT]

Salvatore Lateano was drafted 2nd overall, after Charlie Church (more details later). Lateano was drafted by the Honolulu Prodigy who have a weak bullpen and will most likely put Lateano in their bullpen soon.

[Sam_15]

I want in!

Name: Sam Parsons
Nickname: Moose
Pos.: LF (RF, 3B backups)
Number: 33
American

High contact and gap; moderate power; low eye, speed, and defense. Thanks, looking forward to this

[Clemente21PIT]

Thanks Sam_15 and all others,
I have made the first four players and I plan to post their ratings later today or tomorrow
sorry, for the delay but i am busy for the next couple of hours

Very cool. Can you make him a lefty?

[Ike348]

Seems a day away from the forums made me miss out!

When you need to add the next couple of players, count me in:

Isaac Schmidt
American
B: R T: R
Second baseman, high contact, very low power kind of guy. Think of Ben Revere's ratings.
Second position: 3B
#20

[Clemente21PIT]

The #1 pick by the New York Skyscrapers is: 1B Charlie "Diesel" Church.

Church is a 9 at catcher, and an 11 at first base.

If there are any edits you would like, let me know.

Salvatore Lavateano is now a lefty.

[Clemente21PIT]

Johan Froeberg was drafted 10th overall by the Baltimore Bears.

Froeberg is the top prospect on the Bears and due to a weak rotation, he has a chance at making the team as a starter soon.

Note, he is projected for the bullpen because (I think) his pitch speed is so slow. I'm not quite sure what to do about this. If anybody has recommendations for how to go about this, let me know.

[Clemente21PIT]

Sam "Moose" Parsons was drafted 13th overall by the Washington Wolves.

The Wolves have a crowded outfield with three talented outfield prospects in the minors (including Parsons). However, there is only one third basemen on the active roster.

Any edits you want will be added if you want.

[Clemente21PIT]

Just so you guys know, I am still working out my format for this and at the same time coming up with new ideas, so if you have any preferences or ideas you want to share, just add a post of your own!

[Clemente21PIT]

Isaac Schmidt was drafted 17th overall by the Tampa Bay Flame.

The Flame have a crowded and talented infield. However, Schmidt is their best position player prospect so he may force a player out.

Schmidt is an 8 at third base, and a 15 at second base.

[Clemente21PIT]

Disco Dog was drafted 8th in the 3rd round, at 56th overall by the Fresno Rattlers.

The Rattlers have extremely strong pitching, but at the same time, Dog is their best pitching prospect.
