BYU 14 · 12-04-2012, 08:35 PM

With the imminent demise of my X-Com dynasty in the next turn or two I am moving on to my next interactive adventure after a battle well fought against the aliens.

This dynasty will take place in a universe I have set up to model Baseball on the early 20th century as closely as possible.

The setup contains the 2 major leagues, with reserve clause and 5 independant minor leagues. The minor leagues will not have the reserve clause to emulate the constant jumping of players that took place between minor league teams at that time. I am using the spritze HS debut database with added minor leaguers and negro league stars. All players will debut as free agents and be available to sign by any team in the land. The high minors have financial capabilities close to the majors, while the lower minors are adjusted accordingly.

Leagues:
Majors - American and National Leagues - Reserve clause
High Minors - Federal and Pacific Coast League - 4 year free agency
Mid Minors - Eastern and Texas League - 2 yr free agency, adjusted finances
Low Minors - Cape Cod League - 1 yr free agency, adjusted finances

Trades are enabled between all leagues

Your career:
Will you be able to work your way up from the low minors and get purchased by a major league team, taking the diamond with the likes of Cobb, Wagner, Mathewson and Lajoie? Maybe you will go straight to the majors from high school or perhaps you are doomed to a career hopping from minor league team to minor league team, hoping for the chance that never comes, or finding contentment as another Joe Hauser.

Player info: (you will debut as a 17 or 18 yr old)
Name:
Position:

For postion players pick three 'premier' stats from the list below:

For pitchers pick two 'premier' stats from the list below

Stamina
Hold
Defense

As well as 4 pitches ranked 1-4 (Fastball, Curve, Slider, Sinker, Knuckle Ball, Screwball, Cutter, Changeup, Splitter, Forkball, Circle Change or Knuckle Curve) Velocity will be determined by pitches chosen.

Potential will be determined by a random number generator, with current ratings being a percentage of potential. Premier ratings have a chance to be higher than normal, but that will not always be the case.

Year by year updates will be done, so this should move at a good pace and each season will include players stats, highlights, injuries and transaction as you try and earn your spot in the revised issue of "The Glory of their times"

This will start as soon as the Aliens defeat us in the X-Com dynasty.

Welcome to our first two players, leaving the comfort of home to try and make their names in the hallowed Green Cathedrals.

David Ginsberg a 17 year old SS from Stamford, CT known as a baseball rat, first to the park and last to leave. He is projected as a high average hitter with a great eye and good power, though he grades out as a poor defensive player, but he can fly on the basepaths.

Jason Friday is an 18 year old Catcher from Monaca, PA said to be too smart for his own good as his teammates back on the mill team found him arrogant and condescending. Though he projects as a poor contact hitter, he has enormous power and is very patient at the plate, with a reputation as good defender with above average speed.

Welcome all, I will get everyone signed up to this point in for the 1904 season. Anyone signing up after will debut in 1905 so we can spread it out. Should be starting in a couple of days or less, depending on our X-Com performance

Want to, if at all possible, try to see how a pair of brothers do. If they're twins, sweet. But I couldn't decide on CF or P, so if this goes through, cool. If not, either one works.

We can do brothers, I have simmed '08, so they will start in '09 after I get my writeups caught up

I am only taking up to 4 a season, one cause we have a ton of player now and this will spread careers out too.

He's a relative of mine, not immediate, but close enough that I wanted to make him. He was an actual MLB player.

Cool, I will put him in for 1911 - I am going to closing signups now since we have 20 players total and it will get a bit unmanageable if I keep going. Once some players retire I will take some more
