Sometimes I'm looking at something RSL-related and there'll be a player, or a game, or a stat that'll catch my eye and I'll go "hey that's pretty cool/interesting/funny/remarkable." But it's usually not cool/interesting/funny/remarkable enough to warrant writing a full article on it. Or maybe it's...

Figured we could just have one thread, sticky it, and update it at the beginning of every off-season for the next two years? That should work. It's organized both by which teams have new picks, and which teams have traded picks. Draft Picks by Teams Traded TO Atlanta Storm Philadelphia...
A big reason why I created the Rising Star League was because I believed I could bring something extra to the online OOTP league experience. One of the ways I plan to make the RSL a unique, fun, and interactive experience for everyone is through the RSL News Ticker. The News Ticker will serve...

Initial League File LEAGUE RULES 1. History a. The Rising Star League began play in 1990, with computer simulation taking place until the conclusion of the 2007 season.
Today's Opening Day sim has been run, and the file is now available. Welcome to the 2019 Regular Season! Included in the Opening Day sim file is a full image update, for those of you who have been pestering me to no end for one :mad:
New York Cosmos Get: P Matsudaira Iida P Tom Ingram (AA) P Lawrence Boulter (A) OF John Garris (R) C Anastasio Soto (R) Minneapolis Vikings Get:
Figured I would get this started. No matter the outcome for us in the playoffs we have a couple guys up on the block this off-season. RF - Cesar Herrera - Hasn't been as good as I expected but still a damn good player who shows signs of being a MVP kind of guy. C - Curt Johnston - Had a off...
The Cuban Baseball League's Granma Alazanes have announced their intention to offer their 19-year-old prospect, Jorge Martínez to the RSL via the International Player Posting System. We're going to try things a little differently, in an experiment some people have asked me for. Instead of using...
As you guys hopefully know, I'm always looking for ways to make the league better. Whether that involves making the league more fun, or more competitive, or more realistic. At this point in time, there are several ideas I'm kicking around, and I figured the best way to gauge relative interest...
It's been a blast, but lately some life/work stuff has been negatively affected by my increased attention/obsession/borderline-clinical-addiction to OOTP. I've decided I need to step away for a good long while. You've all been great, even with the occasional dickhead moments between us. ;) ...
Thanks mostly to Josh's efforts, we now have Statslab working for the RSL. Statslab is like Getch on super steroids. It does all the same things - better - and then some new things as well. I'm still playing around with it, so not everything is available and turned on, but you can get lost in...
Is anyone else having an extreme rash of long term injuries this year? I don't know if the switch to 11 did it or if it is just coincidence but I've had 5 pitchers already go out for the entire season. That seems ridiculously high. Many, many other 3+ month injuries and they seem to be mostly to...
3/3/2017 Since the hiring of Owner/General Manager Alex Beckman at the beginning of the decade, the Minneapolis Viking front office has been as active as any other in the Rising Star League. Over the last season and a half, Minneapolis has gone from buyer to seller to buyer again, in classic...
INITIAL OOTP11 FILE Welcome to the 2019 Offseason! Congratulations again to the San Francisco Reds, and the rest of the playoff teams for a postseason full of awesome performances. A playoff appearance shouldn't be taken for granted, as it's a real good accomplishment on its own - just look at...
2016 Season Recap: Twas the Juggers best season yet with 104 wins. Our second consecutive playoff appearance, which was unfortunately marred by THAT moment... a single tragic playoff inning in which Chris Grays was an unexplained scratch and Mabuchi Nitta dropped the ball. Ouchies. Way to...
It's the most wonderful time of the year. The 2019 Draft Class is complete and the Draft is ready to begin. BIG LINK TO UTILITY You guys know the drill. If this is your first season with us, you should be able to log in to the utility by using the password "baseball" and set up a draft...
Is IRC down or is it just me?

The offseason is over, Spring Training is run, and it's time to embark on the 2018 Regular Season. Forget what happens in the postseason, the real test of a team is over 162 games. I hope everybody is ready for another excellent season of baseball. First thing's first: Opening Day will be held...
Alright so we did some long term predictions, but what about the short term? There are two players currently on pace to break a couple single-season records, do you guys think either of them will be able to do it? Philadelphia's Lan-fang Li's chase of the single-season home run record has been...
Note: In 1969 the Seattle Pilots played one season in MLB. They had two beat writers then, Steve Farber was one of them. Now since we're in (soon to be) 2018 and rebuilding the franchise here his son, Glenn Farber's, take on the team. The Seattle Pilots are back again. When the Rising Star...
