Who can build the best team from 1 decade of a specific MLB franchise? Let's find out! Anyone's invited to join, but please pay attention to your team and adjust fatigue settings, etc. accordingly throughout the season to keep the league's competitive balance as even as possible.

THEME RULES/NOTES (see post below to claim your team/decade...*please note change from prior seasons of now $75mill salary cap and that if an owner has 2 teams, only 1 of the teams can be a deadball era team from 1920 and prior years in order to be able to split the divisions and leagues by era as evenly as possible, and lastly the change that only the WIS generic ballpark can be used now to take away ballpark advantages and make it a level playing field...no pun intended):
1.) Must draft players from only 1 MLB franchise (all Yankees, all Red Sox, etc.) & w/in a specific 10-yr timeframe (i.e.: only Yankees players from 96-05, only Red Sox from 04-13, only Senators/Twins from 1956-1965, etc.). Can NOT draft players outside of 10 years apart & from different franchises to your roster or that ineligible player will be removed & replaced with an eligible player or your team can be removed if unresponsive to sitemails or messages to fix your roster.
2.) No clones.
3.) No waiver wire.
4.) No DH.
5.) No trades.
6.) Award winners are allowed.
7.) $75 million MLB salary cap.
8.) Optional AAA manually drafted "average" pitchers and "above average" hitters (between around $700k-$1.8 million for aaa pitchers salary & around $1.5-$2.6 million for hitters salary...2 pitchers, 6 position players, no AAA salary cap) from your same chosen team/decade OR can have WIS randomly assign your "average" AAA pitchers or "above average" AAA hitters (your choice). Manually drafted players not from your same chosen team/decade will be removed & replaced by WIS randomly assigned AAA players if you are not responsive to sitemails or messages to fix them.
9.) Must choose WIS generic stadium with 1.0 ballpark factor so there are no ballpark advantages and everyone has the same ballpark.
10.) There can be the same franchises owned by more than 1 owner (for example, there could be 3 different versions of the NY Yankees chosen).
11.) An owner can own up to 2 teams in the league. Leagues & divisions will be aligned by different eras/decades as best as possible (i.e.: deadball teams will be in the same division as each other), & owners with 2 teams will have each team put into different leagues.

Teams claimed so far and feel free to copy/paste to add to this as you claim one and draft your roster to enter the league (once it's filled, it's filled, so I won't be able to save spots that could delay it from getting started):

1) lb_bunk80: New York Yankees 1959-68
2) vaugheyj: Cleveland Indians 1989-98

ATTENTION on what looks to be a slight change the WIS made to "average" AAA manually drafted players!:

It appears they are now about $1.5mill-$2.6mill or so range for hitters and $750k-$1.8mill for pitchers, so slightly different than previously from what I can tell.

This actually screwed up my roster I was working on where I ended up having to use a different version of Mick instead of the 61 version I intended to as I had couldn't manually draft the version of Bill Skowron to my AAA team that I was planning to with his salary at like $2.6mill so had to draft him on my main roster instead.

Please be aware of this when drafting you teams, and apologies for any confusion or incovenience this may cause from prior leagues.

There was also a suggestion to move the roster changes deadline cutoff back, and I was only able to remove the roster change deadline instead when adjusting the settings for the league, so I went ahead and did that for this one.

64-73 Angels, please. Hope the simulator is kind.

We'll run back the 07-16 Padres.

I'll run the Simulator again for the upcoming league.

California Angels 1982-91

I'm going to enter two teams again. This season I'll use the 1916-25 St Louis Browns and the 1929-38 NY Giants. Stepping out of my comfort zone and using eras I don't normally use.

Decided on 1st team. Detroit Tigers 2006 to 2015
