We were the only ones to gain WAR so far.

And since SABR was formed in 1971, it wouldn't be much of a stretch to say that there are some sabermetricians following this league. Doubt anyone would go the Moneyball route though.

We need a good fifth in our starting rotation!

Abdul-Haqq Imad Al Din's FIP of 4.12 is the 3rd best among free agent starting pitchers, and his BABIP of .277 isn't shabby either (although you really need three full seasons of pitching to be accurate with BABIP.)

Ahmed was a risky pickup this season, but he has stellar ratings, and is only 30 years old. He had an abysmal season with a 6.00 ERA, so no guarantees, but I would expect him to bounce back this year. The risk is yours.
I'll take Ahmed.

What major-league teams still have the "default" logos?

I downloaded a hat and jersey creator for OOTP, so I can work the logos and colors into better-looking jerseys than what the game's internal generator does.

Here's an example I made from my own game, a Pan-European Baseball Championship League:



I can also make cap and jersey logos. What we have now is fine for a general team logo, but... ehh, it doesn't work for the caps and jerseys (No offense, Ralepozozaxe)

If you'd like the programs, here they are:

http://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/ygl565hr1zeelo9/Ballcap%20Creator%20setup.exe

Interface may be a little clunky for those products, but they work.

I'm designing a hat and jersey logo for the team... and I just want to say that "I" is a VERY boring letter... and I don't want to combine it with a C unless we want our team to be nicknamed the Cents.

You know, that kinda gave me an idea... Maybe make the "I" look like one of the minarets of the Hagia Sophia. It would fit in with the "formal" team logo.

I honestly wouldn't be opposed to changing our team colors as a whole, if that were the desire of the thread. It was default white and red, which worked with the Pete Rose thing AND it's the colors of Turkey's flag, so I just rolled with it.

I'm all for sticking with Cincinnati red and white, since Pete is still the GM after all.

Also, the new logo looks snazzy as all get out! I'd wear one of those Constantinople's caps.

Heh, thanks! I love playing around with making logos in Inkscape.

I don't know if I can export a team in OOTP... I would love to send my Euro Baseball Champion London Mets over to battle the C's and see how that turns out in an exhibition match-up.

Since we're in the championships, I'm making a championship trophy right now in Blender. In real world measurements, it would stand about 4'4" tall and be about 2' wide.

Here's the trophy:



And as to the measurements I stated in the last post, it's actually about half that size now. (that means of course, the silver baseball with the gold stitching on top of the lid is not official size, needless to say.)

I'll make renders of the individual awards soon. They are probably going to be home-plate-shaped glass dealies, but I'd like to hear any suggestions you guys might have.
