EXPANSION TEAM LEAGUE - Who will win?

USF · 04-12-2020, 08:56 AM

My ABL online league creates contests throughout the year to earn participation points for us within the league to help improve their organization. One of my new ideas this year was to have each GM of the league pick a winner on some quick replay scenarios based on the history of MLB.

So for my first project, I decided to use the Expansion teams from 1960-1990 to see which one of these teams are the best according to OOTP :-)

These are the results after Month 1. I will update as the season unfolds. If you have ideas and suggestions for our 2nd league contest, please share them with me!

Strange that the Colt .45's are last. They actually managed an 8th place finish in their maiden season ahead of the Mets and Cubbies.

Agree, also from what I read online before i created this league the Angels are the highest rated team of the bunch.

One team that is doing about as you would expect is the 1977 Toronto Blue Jays. They were awful. So were the 1969 Padres yet they're two games over .500. The AI must have itself a soft spot for the 62 Mets who are infamous in many circles as the worst team of all time.

W9-1 past 10. 62 Mets making a move!

The Jays were a bad team for sure, living in Toronto at that time everyone was a Doug Ault fan after Game 1 in the snow!
