I haven’t done an Open League in years (since they got rid of AAA)

Why do I feel like I want to do this?

I thought of this because I have a Team (Pembroke Country Day) I used a long time ago in the Open League (sin AAA) and it had plenty of D Gloves but better Range and would usually win 90 or more games ....

I mean I have a team built that I’m looking at and just trying to wrestle around in my head what an optimum stadium would be. If I can choose between the two and be satisfied I might enter sometime this weekend

No idea if the team will be good or not

Not surprisingly, the team I had entered into the other bounty is also suited to try for this one as well...

MLB142493 (Open League)

Team: No Runs Allowed

1st 27 games (1/6 of season): 21-6

Team had 35+ plays at that point, so it's not on track, but it got off to a pretty poor defensive start with Roy Cullenbine making a boatload of errors, so maybe it'll get on track later.

Giving it a go, team Murphy’s Law entered into MLB142526

Playing in Target, drove K/9 and BB/9 as low as I could while still getting what I think is decent pitching, so the ball will be put in play and in Target hopefully stay there.

Have no idea if my offense is going to score runs

With one game left I’m 85-76 and have 184+ plays, this was a fun challenge despite the fact that I missed both criteria

Not sure what I’d do different were I to try things over

I designed a team and am going to give this a go but 250 + plays seems very ambitious. Even with A+ range at every position, getting 250 is going to be difficult. 200 might be more realistic while still difficult.

I was thinking the same but have not had the time to make a Team or Experiment

So let the Number of Plus Plays be 170 And 92 Wins to Gather More Interest

Ranger Rovers entered into MLB142707. I want lots of balls in play and League Park II seemed like the best fit for that. Took a pitching staff with high OAV, good HR/9, low K/9 and low very low BB/9. Ignored catcher range becuase I'm not exactly sure what that is supposed to do. Looks like DCNats4000 is in the same Open League with his team.

Summa Cum Laude (named for a bunch of A+ grades) entered in MLB 142707. I went with Hilltop, hoping the +3 on 1B, 2B and 3B gives my guys lots of opportunities to turn hits into outs. This was a fun team to build. I have no idea how they'll do since this is vastly different from the teams I usually build.
