The rumor mill has been churning once again, and the word on the street is that the Virtual Bush League (VBL) is under consideration by the Commissioner. Reports have indicated that Mark Smith managed to acquire a Nintendo Wii and that he has his eye on the newly released MLB 2K8 game (click the image above to download a video preview). This game is reported to be able to allow online play and could form the basis for a virtual league during the months where at-bats are low and players want to stay sharp.

More details around this are to follow, but league members are encouraged to seek out a Nintendo Wii and this new game over the course of the next year.
