As far as I can tell, in the Arizona League, the Peoria Padres are missing. Also, in the Gulf Coast League, the Winter Haven Indians are missing as well.

Odd numbers of teams in a league issue. Though the actual schedules are available, it was decided to keep those leagues at even numbers of teams to avoid any possible issues with the odd number structure of both leagues.

I stand corrected. Is there an issue, or is it assumed there would be an issue?

And I'm bummed that my Padres got the ax...

Considering that MLB was considering axing the Arizona League and Gulf Coast League altogether, perhaps the game is just getting a headstart on the MLB plans.

The leagues in question are little more than exhibition leagues anyway; the teams all play at their parent clubs' spring training centres and attendance is non-existant.

Though the AZL and GCL got a reprieve for this season, the long-term plan for MLB is still to eliminate these leagues and rationalize the remaning Rookie/Short Season A level structure.

Yeah. It really depends on whether MLB cares enough to foster more kids' dreams. In other words, do they leave more teams (ie a combo of the SS and R leagues) so that more kids can play, or do they ax them and have the freshly drafted players start at lower A levels? Personally, I prefer the former, but that's me.

Back on the former: Is it possible to create a quickstart that occurs before the initial draft? In other words, can you form a quickstart that, once loaded, will generate a inaugural draft pool and start on 1-1-2006 every time? Sorry, I haven't tested to see if this is possible, and I don't want to spend the time fleshing out all of the names of teams, etc, if it will just start with the same inaugural draft pool. Thanks.

MLB just feels there are too many leagues playing short seasons and wants to simplify the lower levels.

The Pioneer League was to have been promoted to Short Season A level, giving every MLB team its own affiliate at that level; the Appalachian League status was uncertain. It was either going to be operated as a co-op league with players left over from other organizations or it was going to be folded.

Just downloaded your Quick start. I noticed that your MLB Defense award is "Glove Glove" rather than "Gold Glove"

Thanks for the great work!

Thank you!

I'm having trouble accessing the two sites mentioned in the first post. Is this quickstart located anywhere else? If not, could someone else host it?

Thanks!
