HOW DO YOU SPELL RELIEF? (FULL) Topic

R-O-L-A-I-D-S . . . . With Twist

The Rolaids Relief Man Award was an annual Major League Baseball award given from 1976 - 2012.   

The WIS data base lists 74 "Reliever of the Year Awards," with 35 given to relievers whose team won 90 or more games during his award winning season.  

I will throw all 35 teams into random.org.  When you sign up, you get one of these teams - -  exclusively yours.


The TWIST:
  • All owners are allowed to twist up to 5 players.
  • You do NOT have to twist any player or you can twist under your allowed limit of 5 - up to you.
  • You CANNOT twist a player to one of the 35 teams listed/available (this could come up in the multiple award years by Rivera and possibly one or two others).
  • You CANNOT twist your "Reliever of the Year."
LEAGUE:  24-TEAM
CAP:  $100M . . . . .  
NO:  AAA, WW, Clones, Live Play, or Trades. . . . . .
YES:  Designated Hitter
STADIUM:  Choose the home park your "Reliever of the Year" played in.
ONE Random realignment prior to play.
