Grindstone Baseball League (Stats Only)

Full League Name (Initials): Grindstone Baseball League (GBL)
Website URL: https://statsplus.net/gbl/
Reports: https://statsplus.net/gbl/reports/news/html/
Constitution: https://statsplus.net/gbl/home/?page_id=27
Forums: Slack used for primary communication
OOTP Version: OOTP 19
Players: Modern Day
# Of Teams: 30
Exports Days: Monday-Wednesday-Friday night and a bonus sim on Sunday afternoon
League Time Per Sim: 7 days
Current Season: Inaugural season

Rules & Settings:
- Modern day league with all the modern day settings/financials
- Scouting ON
- Coaches ON
- Hitting/Pitching Ratings- None Displayed
- Other Ratings: 20-80

The GBL is a Stats Only (Stats mostly) league that started with a modern day 2018 season.We are currently in April of season 2.

If you've never done Stats only you owe it to yourself to give it a try. If you have any biases that you feel hurt your game (personally I hate anyone below 55 contact) this eliminates all of those. It allows you to accept players for what they are and really lets you get deep into your team.

We use a full feeder system (80 college/90 HS) for the draft and I have added almost all the pre-loaded 2018 class into those feeder teams for them to accrue stats.

Available Teams:

League is Full

Dont let the stats only scare you off, we all start with the usual fog of war, but being real life rosters, the potential ratings on players should sort itself out rather quickly. There is a solid group of GMs here, and the potential for the league to be successful falls on the GMs we have initially.

Matt put alot of time into 170 feeder teams, so we all look forward to filling the last nine orgs.

This is a great bunch of GM's alot of older guys from way back. Definitely know the game. Dont be turned off by the stats only part of the league. It will all fall into place.

mbyrd75 · 06-11-2018, 12:03 AM

Just need 7 more GMs to get this thing filled and started. Shows 8 open teams because I haven't picked a team yet. Don't want to take a team from potential GMs.

mbyrd75 · 06-11-2018, 07:14 PM

Need 4 more GMs to get started. If you've never tried stats only give it a shot. Really really fun and much more involved than usual.

I've added almost the entire 2018 draft class back into the feeder leagues to give us real stats to draft from. It's going to be a fun first season so don't miss it!

Seattle has come open due to the current GM having laptop issues and not being able to continue. They are untouched from the base file with no trades made. Let me know if interested. League is rolling STRONG!

mbyrd75 · 06-21-2018, 01:37 AM

Seattle is now filled. We do have one owner that has been inactive and may be replaced soon. Send me your info to get on the list

mbyrd75 · 07-06-2018, 08:05 PM

Pirates are now open

mbyrd75 · 07-08-2018, 02:34 PM

We are full once again

mbyrd75 · 07-09-2018, 11:03 PM

Couple of openings due to inactivity. Good time to jump in as the amateur draft starts this week!

mbyrd75 · 07-11-2018, 06:27 PM

Have had a bit of a mid first season cleanout both teams virtually untouched from the opening file
