Clemente, one of the oldest and best (drama-free) private worlds is looking for 1 more owner for next season (31). We've just rolled over and are looking for new owners asap so we can get started.
We have one league-specific rule and that is an owner who fails to reach a .333 win percentage (54 wins) forfeits his or her first draft pick in the following season. However, there is a step-up process for new owners so you won't have to worry too much about it for the first couple years. Your first season you will only have to win 45 games to keep your top pick and your second year you only have to win 50. This rule is not meant to punish anyone, just to be a deterrent from tanking and to incentivize maintaining a degree of competition for all teams. I think it has been very successful at that so far and we have never had a team fail to reach the win minimum and hopefully we never will.
Sitemail me if you're interested or have any questions. And if you're new to HBD, that's fine...I can tutor you for a while to get you on your feet.
Here are the openings:
Jacksonville (NL South - 66-96) - 2 seasons ago, quasimango, a 9 year veteran of Clemente world left despite showing signs of improvement his last few years and a playoff appearance in season 26. He left a lot of young talent behind though, but neither of the coaches since then seemed to want to stick around. 2 seasons ago, desanders logged a close to .500 season and added a solid closer prospect. Last season, gregor199 didn't add much in the way of future talent, but lost enough to land you a top 5 pick in this year's draft. So there's that.

Chicago (NL North - 87-75) - After 13 seasons in Clemente, nmmi is stepping aside. This team made the playoffs 3 of the past 5 seasons and is still in great shape throughout the entire franchise. This is an easy win now or rebuild, however you want to take it.

Trenton (AL North - 57-105) - One of two teams to only manage 57 wins last season, Trenton will have the top pick in the upcoming draft. This to go along with a fantastic farm system and only about 26 mill on the books. The rebuild is already mostly done for you on this one.

Charleston (AL East - 96-66) - Coming off an impressive 96 win season and AL East pennant, this is definitely a win now situation. I'm surprised mikeg740 left after building up to this over a couple seasons.
