Welcome to the first update of the Create Your Own Player - Season. I originally planned on simming through 1 in game month per week, but because that would take way too long to sim out your players careers, i'll do half an ingame season per week. This week, because it involved the initial draft of your players, I simmed from June 1st, 2007 (Draft Day) to the end of the Major League Season. The next update will go from the beginning of 08 Spring Training to the 08 All Star Break.

I'll post an update once a week on Sunday.

If anyone just reading this for the first time wants to get involved, post here, and you'll be on the waiting list for the next time I allow new player made draftees.
