FK6 Twist League: Season XXVII (1901-2010)
 
Any Team w/ .480 or Higher Winning Pct.

and

Each team has the option to sign one free agent from a 3-year window surrounding your team selections' year. It can be any MLB team with a .479 or lower Win Pct. (SEE BELOW FOR MORE INFO)
 
$95 Million Cap, twist players to any career year, no DH, no Clones, no AAA, no Waiver Wire, Yes to Trades. 
 
350+ AB, 150+ IP, 50+ pitching appearances= MANDATORY ON ROSTER
 
 
WHAT IS A FREE AGENT ??? Any player from a 3-season window as your selected team and on a team with a .479 or lower winning percentage is considered a free agent. (Example: your team is 2002 Giants. Your free-agent window is 2001, 2002 or 2003 and you can pick any MLB player as long as they were on a team that finished with a .479 or below winning percentage) All free agents signed are with a no-trade clause (they will be the only players that must stay on your roster for the whole season) and FREE AGENTS are not allowed to be TWISTED... Only one instance of a free agent player allowed in the league ... All free agents are first-come, first-serve. Signup for this league early and designate a free agent and you have that player's rights. If you decide later, while working on your team, that you don't want him, you can put him back on the market.
 
 
SPECIAL RULE FOR PARTIAL SEASON FREE-AGENTS:  If a free-agent played with more than one team during a season and one of those teams finished with a .479 or below winning percentage, WE WILL ALLOW the full season to be used, ie. WIS database offers a 2010 version of Cliff Lee with Seattle Mariners (.377 win pct.) which means his full season can be used as a free-agent. Another example is full-season of 2009 Matt Holiday with Oakland Athletics' as a free-agent. 
 
IS THERE AN ALTERNATIVE TO NOT PICKING A FREE-AGENT ??? If you don't want to use a free-agent, you may leave one of your mandatory players off your roster. In addition, you must designate one of your three most expensive players and tag that player with a no-trade clause.

harnclan, well... i guess we could call it retirement from the Phillies... and then you can go manage a new franchise for 25+ seasons.
