you gotta give this one another look. most league openings are for broken-down teams, or patchy leagues with limited history. here you get a long-running league manned in part by guys that have been simming fake baseball games together since microleague in 1988.
i know, you're gonna say you have actually seen winning teams open before--full of old dudes on bad contracts!!!! but that's not the case with either of these squads. the defending champions have a young pitching staff, a lineup full of dudes in their prime, and $12MM in cap room. but they're in the toughest division and no team has repeated in five seasons. you're starting from a solid base, but there's plenty of work to do if you're gonna stay top of the heap. detroit has narrowly missed the playoffs two years running in a wide-open division. it's a mix of vets and youth throughout the roster + $20MM to spend. these are excellent opportunities that are not to be missed.
we're a bunch of fake baseball nerds just as interested in the history and making goofs as we are the stats and cranking out the sims. if you look at the boards you see that we're just now restarting after a long layoff. we're about to start both FA and the draft, so it's an ideal time to join.
long story short: come on in, the water's fine.
