I try to avoid what I call "Domination Syndrome" where I feel the need to take advantage of the AI to grab every great player I can. (I am soooo guilty of this in the past). Now I have some simple rules to keep the league competitive, even though I know the future, so to speak. Stilll, I can put together some nice runs.

Basically, I don't allow myself to initiate any trades or shop any players. The only trades I can accept are the ones I am offered (default trade settings). As you know, in OOTP12, that means very few quality offers, which works fine. I sometimes pull off 1-2 per year. Other years, there are none. I made no trades in 1919. If I pick 16th every year because I keep winning, so be it. There are a couple other ways I try to keep some realism, but I won't bore you.

I just finished the 1919 season using Spritze's tremendous High School Debut No Asians Database. This Cubs team won the Pennant for the 5th consecutive year, and it's 4th World Series during that span, defeating the Chicago White Sox in a crosstown series 4 games to 2. Here's my lineup, backups, and pitching (and a few of my best prospects in the minors.)

C Wally Schang
3B Heinie Groh
RF Bobby Veach <-- won batting title
LF George "High Pockets" Kelly
CF Edd Roush
1B Joe Judge
2B Ray Chapman
SS Charlie Hollocher

IF Buck Weaver
IF Del Pratt
IF George Cutshaw
C Biz Mackey
OF Clyde Milan
OF Billy Southworth

SP Babe Adams
SP Smokey Joe Williams <-- Cy Young Award
SP Hal Carlson <-- Rookie of the Year Award
SP Waite Hoyt
RP Al Mamaux
RP Ray Kremer
RP Rube Marquard

Final record: 95-45, NL Champions, World Series Champions

Top Prospects on the Farm
Jim Bottomley, Jud Wilson, Bill Terry, Dutch Ruether, Jesse Petty, George Uhle, Cy Williams, Cecil Davis, Henie Meine, Sheriff Blake, to name a few
