Best Indy League Find
This is an AI run team, they signed this guy 4 weeks after the season started. He just won ROY.
One of the best I can recall seeing from an Indy League. _ |

Things like that shouldnt happen tho. Indy guys are not gonna be superstars. People should be complaining about this rather than the draft classes

Plus, a rare occasion is not much different than some kid drafted in the late rounds who probably never will play in the majors. Then suddenly one day the light comes on, he's a late bloomer. Maybe he changed his life style, diet, exercise regime. It happens. Unfortunately these type FA's don't come with any history, so we can't look back and see if that's what happened. For me however, in my little OOTP world , that's exactly what happened. He never got drafted, kicked around the Indy Leagues for a few years, and then one season things just started coming together for him. St. Louis happened to have a Scout in the right place at the right time and they grabbed him. Now he's making history. |

If it had happened even one time in the modern baseball model maybe... But there had never been an indy leaguer win any kind of post season award like that. I can't even imagine too many, if any indy leaguer ever even being an all star

Seems the biggest success story from the indys has been David Peralta

"Anything" can happen once, or maybe even twice. Unless someone can show OOTP lets this happen too often, I appreciate the variability in the game to let "weird" things happen now and then.

It will happen every couple seasons if you have the option for these FAs to come into a league

Can't agree. I've played a great many seasons in OOTP and never had an Indy player win an ROY. Have good years, yes, but never break out to a headline. |

I have seen superstars come from the generated Indy Leagues only 2 or 3 times over the last 10-12 years of playing OOTP, which is why I turn the generated players off and use the Indy Leagues that come with the game (I may be a little bias there ). The best I have ever signed was a LHP who washed out from the Rockies (I forget his name) and I had a string of injuries to my bullpen and needed an arm for my AAA team, so I purchased him from the Atlantic League where he was leading the league in Wins, ERA and Ks and had him go to AAA where he allowed 1 run in his first 18 appearances and had only walked 2 in 23 innings. I had another injury in my pen so I called him up and he went on to play with me for 6 more seasons and never had an ERA over 3.00 in that span. I finally let him walk because I had younger option ready to come up and he went on to play for 4 more seasons in the bigs before playing 3 more years in the Atlantic League and retired at 39.

All random generated players I stay away from. Indy isn't as bad as those monsters from Cuba that get created.
Maybe its better in 21 but I stopped using it around 19 and never tried it again. Full universe. No random guys. |

It has happened in real life. Daniel Nava and Kerry Ligtenburg.

I know players have played in the majors Nutt. But I was saying they've never won ROY or any other award of that caliber. Nava and Lightenburg ever play in an all star game even? Peralta may have done that at least

I read before the average mlb team buys out around 7 Indy contracts every year.
Have to look for talent everywhere |

I've got no problem with players coming to the minors or even the majors from indy teams. That's realistic. What I think isn't is one of them winning a ROY
