Random historical debut league with two openings

ussbcfella · 06-05-2023, 09:42 AM

The Unexpected Super Stars Baseball Conference (USSBC) is in October of its 8th season and is looking for General Managers for the South Jersey Pine Sox and the Vancouver Canadians. Upon joining the league, you may rebrand and/or relocate your team. USSBC is a random historical debut league. We are currently in October of 2027, mid-draft.

South Jersey finished 80-82 this past season. They have some good pitching and a quite good bullpen featuring Frank Pastore, Ed Doheny, Dave Anderson, and Charflie Guth - and a solid position player core featuring Barry Bonds, Fred Snodgrass, Walton Cruise, and Ivan Calderon. You could take this team in any direction you wanted to. Vancouver finished 95-67, winning its division. The team rode its superlative pitching to the playoffs. The Canadians boast knuckleballer Cy Falkenberg, Chad Billingsley, Daisuke Matsuzaka, Tom Phoebus, George Davis, J.R. Richard, and Al Schroll on the pitching side, and Dick Allen, Greg Luzinski, Andy Carey, and James McCann on the position player side.

We use an ***-style draft lottery in the first round of the rookie draft. First, teams that missed the playoffs in the prior season submit their draft picks. If multiple teams pick the same player, the player is assigned to a team by lottery. This process iterates until the picks of all teams that missed the playoffs have been made; then the picks of teams that made the playoffs are made in the same manner. Rounds after the first are held as a straight draft.

Scouting is turned off. OVR and POT are turned on. Ratings scale is 20-80. Ratings over 80 is turned on. Draft pick trading is turned on. Sims are Tuesday-Friday and Sunday (except in the off-season when we do daily sims). Regular season sims cover 7 days. We use Slack to communicate. We are always tinkering, so the league loves a GM excited to contribute and shape the league.

We are currently using OOTP 23 and plan to move to OOTP 24 during the in-game offseason following the 2023 All-Star Break.

If you are interested in joining please DM me or reply to this post.
