NGBL has 3 openings: NYY, SEA, SF

czzccr · 11-27-2004, 11:07 PM

The "Next Generation Baseball League" (NGBL) was formed under the concept of owners picking current teams and then simulating 10 years into the future to give the league a fictional feel, yet also preserving the MLB roots. Two calendar years and 9 seasons have now passed since the inception of the league and the fictional players are almost in full swing giving the league it's own unique personality. We have since expanded to 32 teams and continue to make changes to improve the league. The league features an incredibly active ownership base that is serious about baseball, but also not afraid to let loose and have alot of fun.

We currently have 3 openings as we enter into the 2020 playoffs. Now would be a great time for an owner to start and get to know his team in time for the offseason.

The NEW YORK YANKEES are a team in need of someone who enjoys a nice rebuild. Distant memories of the juggernaut they once were, the Yanks have just completed their fourth consecutive 100+ loss season. Things look to get better though in New York. They own four of the top 100 prospects plus they have a top 3 pick in this year's amateur draft. The right owner can lead the Yankees back to the top!

The SEATTLE MARINERS have just made the postseason for the second time in three years. The fifth ranked team in ERA is led by 29 year old pitching ace, Jospeh Brown. The Mariners have over $20 million coming off of the payroll this season so the new owner should have a fun time spending in this season's free agency.

The SAN FRANCISCO GIANTS are a veteran team where an owner could choose to bring in some free agents to make a playoff push. They are led by this season's NL Batting Average champion, John Stokes.

LEAGUE FEATURES:

- Currently Running OOTP 6
- Heavily customized website (http://www.ngbl.net) that takes BOSI v2x to the extreme
- Marketing revenue split equally among the leagues 32 teams
- Coaches / Scouts turned to OFF.
- RFA: All players 3.5 stars or greater with minimal loyalty will be exposed to a "restricted free agency" type process. These players will be exposed to open bidding, but the current team will also be given a chance to match the winning contract. For anyone tired of leagues that don't have elite players hitting the market should find this very appealing.
- NEW IN 2021: Australian Fall League - This league gives teams a chance to send their prospects to play baseball in the fall. Teams are eligible to earn points to help "fill out" their player's ratings.
- NEW IN 2021: United Asian League - All the details haven't been finalized yet but it appears that the NGBL is close to coming to an agreement with the United Asian League. This agreement will allow a limited number of UAL players a chance to play in the NGBL.

Please contact me on these boards, via AIM (NJohnF) or via email njohncan@optonline.net if you're interested. Please specify which team you are interested in.

UPDATE: Seattle has been claimed. New York and San Francisco are still available. It's the perfect time to join the NGBL. The playoffs start Tuesday (11/30) so you'll have time to look over your team prior to the start of the offseason.

The New York Yankees are now taken. The SF Giants remain available, and should be a major player in what's shaping up to be a very deep FA pool.
