The Big League, one of the oldest progressives in existence on this site (started by seaphil in December 2004), needs 3 for the upcoming 2005 season

Instead of posting 3 rosters and leaving one (or two) old maids, a better approach might be to have an dispersal draft, where a new owner can pick their own players from the 3 compiled rosters-the 3 new owners would draft a full roster each

pretty much standard progressive rules-can have up to 10 real life AAA players, no DH, use real life MLB names, draft in reverse order, lottery for top pick consists of 4 bottom teams, wins floor for lottery-AAA players can be kept for future seasons as part of your MLB keeper list

feel free to ask if there are any questions I can answer

the Big League has 5 owners who are original members, and stayed the entire 8+ calender years-ceez, occsid, specsman, Cicero, and myself, plus an original owner who returned, cardinaldave, plus many legends of the progressive league field-flbarons, edsortails, rls1, Poddy, cdew8, gonoles777, jonstephen25, happyhours, cardsfan, heybatr34, etc

two valuable openings still remain-why not get mom the thing she wishes most for Mother's Day-you, spending more time on fake baseball

the three teams open will all draft somewhere between # 1 and #7 in round 1, depending on lottery results

 I'd like to come back.

dispersal draft begins this weekend
