What is the TBGBL?

The Toronto Baseball Guys Baseball League is a simulation-based baseball fantasy league, in which owners draft and manage their own baseball team over the course of a 162-game simulated season.

How are games played?

Games are simulated using Diamond Mind Baseball v.9. Games are simulated on a central computer, so owners do not require the software to participate.

What are an owner's responsibilities?

Owners draft their teams, and submit detailed managerial profiles, instructing the program how to manage their team. Owners may also make trades to improve their rosters and are responsible for reporting any transactions to the admin at tbgbltrans@hotmail.com and in the TBGBL forum.

How many players does a team retain from season to season?

Teams may keep 4 players from one season to the next. They are also allowed to retain 3 players selected in the 21st Round or later. These players are known as Minor Leaguers. All other players are released into the general draft pool.

How are player ratings determined?

Player ratings are based on their Major League Baseball statistics. We are currently using the 2003 season disk to simulate season 1. We will upgrade to the 2004 disk for seasons 2 and 3.

How are divisional alignments determined?

Divisions were originally based on geography, but are not based on rivalries and traditions.. The Associations are named in honour of Fergie Jenkins and Larry Walker.

How does one become an owner?

Just ask. The league is free of charge, and potential owners may send an email request to tbgblinfo@hotmail.com. Currently, there are no vacancies in the league, but potential owners will be placed on a waiting list.
