New minor league system - Page 2

Curve Ball Dave · 03-10-2021, 08:26 PM

Just to do a proof of concept, I used a 21 league I'm not going to continue once I get 22. I added the American Association to AAA, moved teams from the PCL and IL, regenerated schedules for all three, and the whole process took maybe five minutes. Given this dry run, I don't anticipate any issues at all putting the traditional minor league system back in place and it won't take very long. From the time I get the Beta version (I pre-ordered) and when I get the public version a few days later that's plenty of time to jot down notes to make the whole process relatively quick and easy.

Same here, I hate seeing MLB just wipe them away. I understand the reasons, just would have preferred it not to happen.

I always bring Jose Fernandez back.

One of the first things I do when I start a new league, after juicing my favorite player "a little," is rectify certain glaring omissions from the HOF, including Dale Murphy, Tommy John, and certain accused/actual steroid users.

I thought they were in the 30’s? Didn’t believe you yanks were still discriminating in 2021, that’s really shocking

Sadly, pick your poison in my country.
But back to the OPs position. I think he was implying that the Negro Leagues were still playing, which would be interesting. We do have a sub 6 feet basketball league:

I would never go to the trouble to set something like this up but it would be interesting if there was a modern day Pacific Coast League, i.e., a professional league that paid better than the minor leagues where you might have near-MLB quality players who just want to play there instead of taking a chance in the minors.

What was really amazing was I had a client that in the late 50s and early 60s played in Class C and Class D leagues in Texas. He was a Mets farmhand and he would tell me stories of going to some small town in west Texas and hope and pray that it would have grass on the infield or even if the hotel was close to the field.
In theory, you could create that PCL or whatever you want to call it.
In the 1940s, the Mexican League was trying to make themselves as good if not better than the MLB. And we had the Federal and Players leagues of the 1910s.

Moonlight??
