One of the OOTP community's longer running leagues, The RLPA, has a few openings in it's latest incarnation, The Preboot. RLPA is in it's 12th year simming after starting with a group of associates brought together at Baseball Think Factory. Our website and forum is located at www.rlpa.org

RLPA Preboot is a historical league based on the model of our highly successful RLPA Classic (2005-2031) and RLPA Reboot (1985-2012). The Preboot start with the 1962 and contains all 20 real-life teams. We do not use managers, personnel or scouting. I've redone all the player hitting, pitching and fielding ratings to make sure that they are realistic. We have not altered the game-generated personality or injury ratings. Also, the league will have the normal average rating of 100 for talent changes, so it is possible that players will have the normal type of career changes, like Reggie Jackson might fall apart and that Reggie Otero will become a star.

CURRENTLY, we are looking for at least three expansion owners. Before the start of the 1977 season, expansion teams will draft 20 players from the existing 20 teams. New expansion owners can chose one of the following franchises as their new teams: Kansas City Royals (AL-DH), Toronto Blue Jays (AL-DH), Seattle Mariners (AL-DH), Texas Rangers (AL or NL), Milwaukee/Atlanta Brewers (either AL or NL), San Diego Padres (NL-No DH), Montreal Expos (NL-No DH).

You can take a look at our website at www.RLPA.org

We think that you will really enjoy our community. You might also consider taking one the existing available teams in our long-running hybrid fictional league, RLPA Preboot

Hope to hear from you or see you on the RLPA forums,

Excellent, Dave! Welcome!

Please go to our website at www.rlpa.org to introduce yourself and get familiar with the league. I expect the expansion draft to start the second week of June.

Currently, our two AL expansion teams are available. New expansion owners can chose one of the following franchises as their new teams: Kansas City Royals (AL-DH), Toronto Blue Jays (AL-DH), Seattle Mariners (AL-DH), Texas Rangers (AL-DH), Milwaukee/Atlanta Brewers (either AL-DH).

If you are looking for an existing team or a NL team, our Atlanta Braves franchise is looking for an owner. The Braves aren't a good team but they have the third best farm system in the game (w/ a boosted Tony Bernazard, Lou Whitaker, Alan Trammel and Gary Roenicke), an excellent young reliever in Larry Andersen and one of the better young outfields in the game. They will also get one of the ten top picks in the 1977 draft.
