I've played in the league for the past 12 seasons and have had a blast. We have a great group of dedicated owners and an active Slack group - always plenty of friendly banter over the course of each season.

Opening day is around the corner, so give Andy a shout and grab a team today!

The quality of baseball is exciting in this league. Lots of offense - batting leaders can flirt with .400 and HR leaders can reach 60 but it is not out of control either as it is still hard to find a guy to pop 30 and there are some truly legendary pitchers. And unlike a lot of OOTP, there is not an excess of big league quality relievers. Seems a good chemistry settings-wise all around.

I joined as a second league to be in as there are less frills but it turned out to be a more fun league for me.

Crab Apple Cove - A team on the good side of a rebuild with a decent farm and some great young talent. Last in the division now, but for how long?

Boston Revolution - A team with an average farm system in the middle of a rebuild. A tough division but some upside as they should hit their peak when other teams are on the downside - a project team for sure.

Washington Monuments - Washington is in a lot of pain. They need a great GM to get them back into the top tier team. The good news is that such a challenge is always rewarding!

Redstone Ridge Raptors - Redstone has had some top picks recently so they have a couple of top tier young players however they are still in full rebuild.

Updated for January 7th:

Philadelphia Cheesesteaks - Top 6 Farm system, a team of nobodies, lots of financial flexibility and no pressure to win for a while..a great time to take over the team and fulfill your baseball destiny

Orlando Rum Runners - Orlando is on the bubble with some great young players. Their division is highly competitive with similarity placed teams so a playoff run is also in the mix.

I would be interested in joining your league. Just picked up the game but have played for years. Not the best but love the game!
