AFBL Inaugural Draft / Re: Inaugual Draft

I very nearly took Le?n. Lozano won out because of the year younger plus he's a finished product.

Yeah, I would have preferred the guy with the developed 10 stuff, especially since it could actually be higher than 10.

North Carolina selects 23-year-old Norberto Le?n as the first player in franchise history.

He's a bit undersized for a starting pitcher (5'9", 185) so he reminds me a bit of Pedro Martinez... hopefully he can be as good.

FYI there are a lot of broken links to images in statslab because OOTP14 puts some of the images in a different location than v13 did... hopefully that will get fixed soon.

I say start with the 16... no telling how much early turnover there will be.

Hey guys, Chappy here...

My name is Rob and I chose the North Carolina franchise because that's were I live.

I've been playing OOTP since version 2.0 and been in online leagues since version 4...

I've been Commissioner of the NPBL (where I met Streeter) since oh, 2003 or 2004.  I've been in several other leagues over the years (JOBL, Jamaica League to name a couple), but have been strictly in the NPBL for a while now so I'm looking forward to this league.

Hey Matt, I'd suggest we use 10-day DL assuming you sim 10 days per sim.  It enables owners to make moves at the end of each sim without having to rely on the commish to make as many mid-sim moves.

Team Press Releases / North Carolina's AFBL Franchise Mascot Finalists

« on: May 13, 2013, 06:35:54 am »

The AFBL's North Carolina franchise has narrowed down its candidates for a mascot to two choices, each of which represent famous (or infamous) characters in the state's rich history.

The first of the two finalists pay homage to Orville and Wilbur Wright, the aviation pioneers who first flew their plane in December of 1903 in Kitty Hawk, NC... North Carolina Aviators

The second finalist is inspired by Edward Teach, AKA "Blackbeard", who often came ashore along the coast of North Carolina, and was eventually killed at Ocracoke, NC...  North Carolina Pirates
