A little real life background on this league. After running solo drafts leagues for years and years I have changed my format. In fact many changes have come to the way I sim my baseball over the past couple of years. It has been a journey to say the least. A similar story to many people here I'm sure. DMB was the first big change that came along for me. I made the switch gradually over the last couple of years and it is now far and away my favorite and the only computer sim I spend any time with. The other big change was that I wanted to manage all the games in my league. I had run very large leagues in the past and would manage only a few teams myself. While I enjoyed those leagues, I wanted to be more involved in the entire league, to see all the action.

So with both of those big changes I decided to start from scratch. 6 teams, 90 games each, and I manage all the games. I started the league recently with 2009 players. Players from the following 4 real life franchises will be included in the league each year. Atlanta, Florida, Houston, and Boston. Additionally I included another 35-40 players from other teams around MLB to have enough quality players and to add some guys I just wanted in the league. These guys range from Pujols to Bobby Scales. Once a player is in the league, he remains eligible to play in the league in the future even if he is no longer on one of the feeder teams. Each year a very very few players from other teams may also enter league.

There are two reasons I am posting about the league here. First I have really enjoyed the other guys that post here about their projects and that has been an inspiration to me. You know what they say, imitation is the greatest form of flattery. Although be forewarned, I am a hack and my stuff will not be up to the standards that you guys are accustomed to here. The second and main reason for these posts, is that it gives me an opportunity to chronicle the history of my new league from the beginning. So thanks in advance for tolerating my small corner of the baseball sim world. More to come soon.
