It will certainly be a challenge. Especially with ratings on the pool of players may not be too pretty. But I've always wanted to do a fictional expansion in an online league, but with the Cougs going I never really had the opportunity to commit to such a tough task. And as much as I love this dumb team we were almost stagnant. It's more then reassuring watching the AI GM complete dismantle the well-oiled machine I built. I wasn't the problem, it was just bad luck all along. Maybe all that is needed is a fresh start? The best part is, our commish wanted to
move the Cougars to Milwaukee, and if we didn't fast forward, that likely wouldn't have happened.
I've spent most of my time writing baseball recaps for
The Figment Sporting Journal, but I do plan on doing some sort of continuation here. I haven't quite decided how I want to do it, or really had the time for it, but I have the 1952 league file ready for action. I think I'm going to start with monthly posts, but the focus may at times be skewed more to players who were mine. It may be hard watching what happens to some of them, especially the guys everyone likes. Whether through trade, injury, or performance. But I feel some ending is better then no ending. Well, maybe not []. I'm sure you'll be able to figure out who that is eventually. I wish I could still pretend all the wonderful things he could do.
Though considering we're just three seasons in, there could be plenty!
Once the team feels less mine, it will probably move to yearly recaps and more retrospective stuff. There's a lot of fun prospect and draft writeups, and I do want to get all my draft writeups. If I finish the 1952 draft, it'll be 25 full draft classes. 1972 will be the third year of the reboot, so I couldn't even complete those before starting a main thread for the Blues. Two is more work, but I plan on saving each yearly league file, so I can continue this at my own pace. There's always times I wish I had something to write, but I haven't been able to get fully invested into another project. Or even worse, I get fully invested, and something gets messed up that I don't want to put in the effort to fix.
