1855 Off-season Thread
Ok, so we're going to expand by two teams this upcoming year as I mentioned last year. We won't do an expansion draft because we have two owners out of the pocket (CGO and WIN) and instead, we'll just add the two new teams and they'll just join into free agency like everyone else starting this year.
For draft purposes, the new teams will pick 3rd and 4th respectively. The owner of the A.L. team will be muns, he was the GM of a juggernaut team back in the old days of FOOL with the Hartford Harpooners winning over a dozen titles. So he's a fast-sim veteran for sure and while things do get quiet around here (hah) he'll at least be an active owner helping us muck things up a bit. I'm going to take over the new expansion team in the N.L., after 16 years in the AL and a year off, it'll be nice to try something a little different.

First veteran's committee Hall of Fame candidate to discuss:
Justin Gorman Linked to his player card. Basically one of the most dominant players in the league when he first showed up, but his career fell off a cliff. I think I'd vote for him, but I'd be curious to hear what other people think. |

So a new file has to go up here in the next little bit to accommodate expansion. I'll post when it's up.

The new schedule is hilariously one I requested from GMO over at OOTP back in 2008.

For the record, the new file isn't necessary for anyone other than muns. It's just largely for decoration if you want to see the new (no images yet) teams actually listed in-game. I can't install the new schedule until the pre-season.
Your exports will work with the file that's out there right now. Last edited by Young Drachma : 07-23-2012 at 09:38 PM. |

Looks like expansion fever is in the air. We have two more super experienced OOTP guys coming over to join us.
Which would put us back to our original 12 teams. |

I actually wouldn't vote him in. I think he had 7 good years and couldn't keep it up to warrant entry in. I do however think he is borderline and could see why people would want him to make it |

Welcome Subby who will be joining with the AL's newest franchise, the Lake Tahoe Syndicate. Doc P (or whatever he joins FOFC as) will be the head of the NL's Gettysburg Gomers.
We're alive and kicking in SLOP even more than before! |

OK, new file is up. Tomorrow night I'll sim FA2. We'll sim all the way to the start of pre-season, so if you have any offers you want to make you'll want to be sure to get them in. We'll load the schedule then too.

Wichita has a T in it. I recommend you incorporate that into your logo.

Doc P is now "Gomer". And I'm happy to take over another crappy fake team and try to lead them to fake respectability.
BTW - Where's my baseball card? |

Tonight's export for FA2 will take us all the way to pre-season, so if you want any of this free agent action out there it'd behoove you to put in a bid.
Fanks. And you still have 3.5 hours, since deadline isn't until 10pm eastern. Just wanted to remind. Last edited by Young Drachma : 07-25-2012 at 05:42 PM. |

Salavisa is San Diego's franchise guy. He shouldn't have been in the FA pool. Just for the record.
