Our current progressive league uses players in the here and now. Your roster will consist of 34 sim eligibles (25 on the ML roster and another 9 on your AAA roster) and 16 DL/prospects. We play once per calendar year and the upcoming season is our 8th. Since 2004, we have kept our league, APPA, available by invitation only (for the most part) and would like to open the league up to some new blood.

So, if you are interested in a current progressive as I have just described it, and you will be hard pressed to find another quite like it, please consider one of these two rosters and contact one of the "founding fathers" directly for consideration. Eagle61, evil_twin, chazzzzzz, and myself (jrnyfan01). We are about to make cuts/drop-add/and draft for the 2012 season. One of the rosters posted can be yours, and then you can tweak it as you see fit.

We are hoping to draft in the next few weeks, so there will be plenty of time for you to draft prep. You will need to become familiar not only with current ML stars, but also minor leaguers in the wings, and recent draftees. Good times for a true baseball fan.

Thanks for considering APPA,
JRNY

We have a private APPA forum, so please accept my apologies in advance if you are trying to locate history about our league in the forums. 

Please feel free to ask questions in this thread if you like, or contact one of us (chazzzzzz, evil_twin, eagle61, or jrnyfan01) for additional details.

Other APPA owners include Oli35, rls1, deer454, beernoser, DodgerDon, crickett13, peekay, knowhim, magnum, rockrobster, maddove117, and many more advanced progressive veterans. We only have 1 available team this time around, so please contact one of us asap ;-)

I do a prospect ranking each year to gauge how each team has done in selecting their minor league talent - this team ranks #1, primarily on the strength of Trout.

This is a great group of involved owners.  You'll learn more about prospects and the minor league system than you ever thought you would.

Join the APPA. You'll be glad you did.

Have been thinking on the APPA league for years, even Felix Hernandez, a first season pick as a rookie is at the end of a long career.
