Jubilee Progressive needs 2 for 1988 Topic

Jubilee Progressive

The Jubilee progressive is based on the concept that every 7 years, in times gone by, slaves were freed, debts forgiven and property restored. That final point is the concept the Jubilee Revisited Progressive League (JRPL) is based. League owners have the player rights to their chosen franchise returned to them every seven seasons. During the six seasons between, via rookie draft and trades, owners try to improve their franchise beyond what their MLB counterparts were able to field and best that MLB Won/Loss Percentage. That is a personally satisfying (or discouraging) unique challenge to the league. The other challenge is much more traditional....make the playoffs, win the World Series.

We need two new owners. We just completed the Jubilee year, so you'll get to select your keepers from one of the rosters below and select who you want to keep and draft who you want going into 1988. The draft order is based upon your franchise's real-life finish instead of how your team performs in the progressive league, so there is no benefit in tanking. The draft in the year immediately after a Jubilee season is very strong because it includes a lot of free agents from the teams that aren't in our league, so you'll get a chance to make some big improvements in your team.

Let me know if you’re interested, and please ask questions if something isn’t clear!
