Interesting that you did a simulation if the Orioles had signed Grich and Reggie Jackson to extensions.  Would be interesting to see what would have happened if we hadn't traded Decinces for Dan Ford.   Or didn't trade for Glenn Davis.

I did not make that trade either! :D Maybe one day I'll write it all up. It was fun and pretty cool how it worked out.

I also saw a review on another website yesterday, apparently they have all kind of random, obscure leagues.  Like the Czech baseball league was an option.

My long-term sim is kind of ludicrous.  I have the majors, the real minors, the Continental League as a 3rd major, three levels of Continental League minors, the indy leagues as they existed in 2006, the leagues in Japan, Taiwan, Korea, Germany, Netherlands, Mexico, China, Cuba, several winter leagues, 5-6 fictional indy leagues, a Greenland Ice Baseball League, and a league in Sao Tome and Principe that plays a 230-game schedule.  50 leagues in total.  I closely follow my team in Whitehorse, Yukon in the CBL, and occasionally browse around the rest of the universe to see what kind of crazy things are happening.  Almost every league is free to trade with and sign free agents from every other one.  My league has been going since 1988, the rest of the universe since 2006.  The league files are like 8 Gb.

And if you really want some insight into the depths of my madness, I'm in the midst of a project to fix the ancient history of the Continental League.  When I discovered OOTP in 2000 I imported the CBL, but due to obscure technical reasons I couldn't bring in all the history.  When I go to the history tabs everything is complete from 2000-on, but pre-1999 is kind of a mess.  I'm trying to import hundreds upon hundreds of old players so that they appear in team histories and leaderboards using text/spreadsheet imports/exports.  It'll probably take many, many work-days to complete.  All for a league that never really existed except in my head.

Perfect for a lazy corona virus telework month.

    • Everything revolves around the health of the player. I think Gunnar has more. I think the collision with Mateo set Gunnar back and affected him in ways we will never know. I'm no mind specialist but Gunnar is young plays all out, and that had to bother him. I've watched that collision a number of times. No fault - just two players going all out and one is finished for the year. It just so happened that Gunnar got the yips and his batting went south soon thereafter. Maybe a coincidence but I think we will see a rejuvenated Gunnar next year and all stops are off. 
    • I’m not so sure the bolded part is true. I think a lot of that last bit can have to do with small skills: situational hitting/running, above average play in close games, generally things that can be boiled down to “luck.” I didn’t see this years team as having a major talent discrepancy from the 2023 version.
    • As great as Gunnar is can’t assume he matches last year. That said I like the odds of the team as a whole matching what we did. 
    • The real improvement of this team will come from within.    The 3-5 players they bring in from outside the org will supplement the roster…maybe put it over the top but the real improvement will come from those already in the org.
    • Yeah. -Would love to keep Burnes but I seriously doubt it. -I have a lot of faith in Adley.  - Holliday has huge ceiling even if he isn’t ready to be elite.  - doesn’t always work this way but the better your closer is tends to help rest of pen 
    • Nice OP. Thanks for the effort. Like the chart. Surprised it hasn't received much response. You sum up a lot of what I hope for as well. I'd add: I think a full - healty year of Westy will be even more valuable. I think Gunnar has even more in the tank. I want - hope that Holliday can develop into the lead off hitter and OBP table setter we need. And, I so want Cowser to cut down on strike outs and continue to develop as a professional hitter. I think he has the potential to cover for the loss of Santander while Big K develops on the right side. A lot to hope for but I believe these youngsters have a lot of potential yet to tap. And oh yes - I want Mayo to make Roy and all of us proud! Thanks again for the effort! I look at pitching as if we have a base. I agree with your points 1 and 2.
    • Postgame Pedro Martinez and Dusty Baker critiquing Clase tripling up on his weaker pitch before the Carpenter heroics. 78% cutters on the season for Clase - the key PA went cutter-cutter-cutter-slider-slider-slider.
