AFBL Competing in OOTP Grand Championship League

[mstreeter06]

Hope you checked out Bingo's hitting ability Matt - one of the guys from another league I'm in is very jealous... you might have a Babe Ruth on your hands... 7/5/6/6/5 hitting and 7/7/10 running skills...

Make sure you use this guy wisely.. if you need any advice on how best to use a "two way" player let me know.

Yeah another plus in drafting him. I'm excited to see what he can do!

I was forced to use a Draft List (my list was simply best available based on gold stars which explains 3 RPs in first 7 rounds...) for Rounds 3-7 although I hand picked my 3rd round pick since AFBL has the #1 pick. I'll update this with HTML reports of the players when they are available.

80s era baseball (low power), DH enabled, 30-man roster, injuries/development OFF, 1-year tourney rosters don't carry over...

3rd Rd: OF Ron 'Berserker' Hodges: 6/6/7/7/5 9-arm 9-stealing 10-baserunning
4th Rd: RP Austin 'Grizzly' Leach: 7/10/7 94-96mph 7-fastball 9-changeup
5th Rd: OF Roberto 'Crabby' Moreno: 6/5/2/10/7 8-arm 6-stealing 7-baserunning
6th Rd: RP Spencer Adams: 7/8/10 92-94mph 6-fastball 9-slider
7th Rd: RP Dave 'Cupcakes' Farmer: 6/9/6 89-90mph 7-stamina 7-fastball 7-curveball

Rounds 8-10 in a live draft on Thursday night.

Do you guys only play one season to decide "the champion" or will you still be drafting for this in 2025?

Haha we're picking up steam with the drafting but yes it has been a slow process. It's a single season challenge so AFBL will need to win it all this year !

Well that makes the veterans valuable then, and the draft is crucial.
