IN SEARCH OF THE PERFECT TEAM USING THE APBA BBW COMPUTER GAME
The latest Sim Auction featured the players from four World Series teams spanning a century of baseball history, creating an interesting blend of old-school legends and modern-day superstars. This was the first auction in which all the participants were prior champions. Andy Palomino, Steve Andrusko, Anthony Spencer and Jason Besly squared off in what developed […]
The latest Sim Auction was defined by strategy, unpredictability, and a razor-thin margin of victory. This edition introduced a new twist: bidding on players’ careers from the decade of the 1970s rather than specific seasons, with the final selections left up to the randomness of fate. It injected an element of uncertainty that made the […]
For this auction we are going to deconstruct four great 100+ win teams from the last 20 years to create 3 new teams! Usually the number of real teams is the same as the number of Sim teams, but I was curious to see how adding an extra team would affect the bidding, let’s find […]
For this auction we will deconstruct two of the most dominant teams in baseball history, the 1906 Cubs and the 1927 Yankees! What will make this auction interesting is that these two teams were dominant in completely different ways. The Cubs were triumphant with pitching and of course the Ruth & Gehrig led Yankees dominated […]
Our next auction will highlight some of the best seasons from three iconic Hall Of Famers – Juan Marichal, Willie Mays & Joe Morgan. In my opinion, the position that requires the most specialized skill of any sport is that of the pitcher, it is also the position that allows the athlete to develop his […]
When selecting teams for Sim Auctions you want to incorporate great teams or great individuals seasons. For this auction we’ve chosen the 1941 Red Sox and the 1999 Red Sox. The teams themselves were not dominant, although they were good teams (the 1941 team won 84 games and the 1999 team won 94 games), the […]
For our next APBA Sim Auction we deconstruct and re-assemble four great Chicago Cubs teams of the past – 1969,1984,1998,2016. The 1969 team was perhaps one of the most famous 2nd place teams in history, they will always be remembered for blowing a 9 game lead with two months to go in the season to […]
What would happen if you took the players from four great Angels teams of the past (1979,1986,2002,2014) and made them all free agents, then conducted an auction to create four brand new teams? Who would build the best team? Let’s find out! Although the team has had an identity crisis over the years, never quite […]
One of the reasons I started playing Fantasy/Rotisserie Baseball back in 1989 was to try to extricate myself from the dysfunctional relationship that is being a fan of a professional sports team. Most kids become fans of a team because someone in their family was a fan (father, uncle, brother, etc.) – that didn’t happen […]
For those of you who lament the current usage of starting pitchers (or should I say lack of usage) – this auction is for you. I obviously love analytics and interpreting numbers or else I would not be involved in these auction projects, but the reality is that strict adherence to what the numbers say […]
