One opening in UBN

The Ultimate Baseball Network (UBN) has one opening for the Anaheim Angels.

http://thehickmans.net/ultimatebaseball/

The UBN is a 28-team present-day league using OOTP6, currently in 2013, and we use a traditional 1-10 ratings system. We run 7- and 14-day sims (7 in April and September). Financials are ENABLED, coaches/scouts are DISABLED.

There are several interesting aspects to the UBN, such as revenue sharing, a marked players system (teams get compensation for losing players to free agency), an unrestricted free agency system (players must become "franchise players" in order to resign with their team between the ages of 32 and 34), and the option for team ad campaigns and luxury suites.

The team in question, the Angels, have several very good major-league ready prospects, such as 1B Bobby Ladner, C Harold Rizzi, C Darrell Antoine and 2B/3B John Kanode. They also have an excellent one-two punch of SP's Vincent Phoenix and Juan Rivera. Add to that the two big sluggers 1B Casey Kotchman and LF Zach Ripley, and great hitters like 2B Richard Wood and SS Antonio Perez, and you've got yourself a pretty good ball team. And I can't forget the great defense up the middle, and the low payroll.

The downside to the Angels is that aside from their major-league ready prospects, the rest of their minors system is pretty barren. Also, they currently have only three relievers, and it is now past free agency.

This is a good team to work with, but getting enough relievers to fill out the roster could be a challenge. If you're up to that challenge, or have any questions, please contact commissioner Tom Hickman at thickman1@wi.rr.com, or myself at ajsmith_03@hotmail.com.

For the record, my team (Milwaukee) and several other teams have extra relievers, so we might be able to help you out.

Are you using OOTP5 or 6?

Sorry, I missed that. We're using OOTP6. I'll edit the initial post.

I can vouch for the UBN also - it's a great league with a dedicated commish. I've been in the league for most of the past 10 seasons and am ready to start 2013!
