New Central Baseball League has 6 spots

CBL Commish2002 · 09-16-2002, 03:49 PM

The CBL (Central Baseball League) http://cbl-sim.tripod.com/index.htm is a 16 team fictional league. However, there is a twist to the league. I got this idea from the Baseball Maelstrom. Each owner will select a current MLB All-Star to join his team of fictional players. The MLB all-star will start at the age of 22, with half of his talent ratings, but his full potential in skill ratings.

Mission Statement

The CBL has been created to bring back 16 MLB All-Stars and reset their career to the age of 22. The goal of this league is to try and get your CBL all-star to end up having a better career then the player really did. Once all original CBL players have retired, a two week poll will be given to as many baseball "experts" as possible, and whoever's original player has the best CBL career compared to their original career will win a prize (value around 200 dollars)

Some Rules-

The player must be an all-star caliber player

You can not trade your CBL All-Star

All CBL All-Stars will have their ratings cut in half, with their abilities staying the same

All CBL players will start at the age of 22

Each team MUST make a team website and update it weekly

The CBL is free of most rules, as the owners will guide the way as we go along. If interested in joining, email me at cblcommish2002@yahoo.com with the MLB All Star you want. All types of owners welcome, whether you are a beginner or you are a 10 year veteran who has 20 leagues. As long as you are active you can't go wrong. Also make sure you are able to make a website (it can be the crappiest website ever, just put a little effort into it and that will be ok).

We will conduct a 10 round initial draft Saturday Night, 9 PM eastern time. You will draft your first 10 players (not counting ur MLB all star) and then CPU will finish the last 24 rounds

Players Taken:

Pedro Martinez
Vladimir Guerrero
Barry Bonds
Alex Rodriguez
Sammy Sosa
Nomar Garciappara
Curt Schilling
Randy Johnson
Chipper Jones
Ken Griffey Jr.

Still many MLB All-Stars left! Need a team leader? Take Derek Jeter! Need a proven pitcher? Take Greg Maddux! Need a Power Hitter? Jason Giambi or Mike Piazza will do the trick. The faster you join the better chance you have of getting your favorite player!

I'd be interested in the Columbus Clippers (even though I hate the Yankees). I'm new to online leagues but I would be a committed owner.

Good luck with your league.

seems like it will be a tough one to maintain so I'll follow your league with interest. If it works, power to you.

not enough people were interested... only about 10 responses came in. i can't really force anything thats there, so I'll just leave commishing to the people who are good at it

Also I lost a cornerstone owner who commished his own league, and a bunch of the people he got to join backed out. I guess I should've posted saying this league wouldn't happen, but no one was emailing me and this thread was on the 3rd or 4th page so I figured no one cared about the league. Sorry I didn't inform you Legend
