league ideas

1. Field of Dream league with Baseball-reference top 25 plus 5 minor leaguers. 20-year challenge using real stats, and I'm the Diamondbacks.
2. Smaller FOD league with original NL teams and real stats. Contracts to keep lineups in check. I'm the Dodgers.
3. Allred Hall of Fame vs. MLB Team of the Century (real stats)
4. Small league (4-8 teams) that starts in the 1800's using real stats. Draft for each year's rookies, but must sign them to contracts (5-year max) before you can promote them to the majors. Free agent draft for veterans with expired contracts. Each team has a specialty based on their stadium dimensions (LH, RH, power, defense and H/9) except mine (regular).

4/23/2024 Testing out the new Fav Teams Dacecannon
It's interesting that the whole point of bringing in WAR was to favor guys who stat lines might not otherwise be great, but had hidden value, for a variety of reasons. Whereas this will have the opposite effect--favoring high stat line, low WAR players.
