NOBL (National Online Baseball League) - NOBL Website!)

We have been running for 20 seasons (way back to v4) and are entering our third season on OOTP 2007. We started as a purely fictional league with real team names in 2001 and have made it to 2021 which we have just started. What started as a 20 team league is now 24 teams strong.

We have 3 openings this season which I will detail below however If I had to sell someone on NOBL I would emphasize the following

1) Consistency - there are 12 GM's that have been in the league at least 10 seasons and 9 that have 15 seasons or more (heck 5 of us go back to 2002). We aren't going to break up our community and just dissapear like some leagues. I have been the commish since 2003 and since this was my first league (as it was a lot of us in NOBL) it really means something

2) Parity - Everyone has a chance at a winning team. There are always reasonable FA's, teams looking to trade, and there have been a lot of different teams at the top (including an expansion team). We have an 85m cap and its opened up the league tremendously in the 12 plus years we have had it

Openings

Braves
(2006 NOBL Champion, 2006-2009 NL Champion)
2020 - 65-97 (4th)
Farm: 1st
Outlook: In a division with 1 teams that just lost the NOBL Championship, 1 team that was the NL wild card, and another that was in the wild card to the last sim, Atlanta will need to make some moves to take their talented group of kids and make it a 4 team race. Atlanta has a good young core and with a few moves could vault into playoff contention

Cardinals
2020 - 79-83 (3rd)
Farm: 13th
Outlook: Talent wise has enough to compete in arguably our weakest division. Stl has a really nice staff headed up by 28 year old 21 game winner Kieth Co and 3 hitters but not much else

KC
(2007 & 2015 NOBL Champ)
2020 - 57-105 (4th)
Farm: 11th
Outlook: Time to rebuild! Has 2-3 really good young parts but mismanagement has led to this once proud franchise in need of a major overhaul. This team will be a challenge but has the #1 pick in a GREAT draft class.
