This is season 2 of the theme that is just wrapping up.  For this season, the rules are basically the same, but we're blacklisting the teams already used.  I will allow one year of overlap in teams already used.  See the next post for blacklist.

Here are the rules:

Find any consecutive three year span of a franchise during which their cumulative record was .500 or below.  Then draft your team from that franchise for those three seasons.  No twists and no clones.  No DH.  Cap will be at 90 mil for this round.  Also, no AAA, injuries, WW, trades.  We'll use what we draft. 

One year of overlap between teams will be allowed, but no more.  Use the stadium your team played in.

Please reply if interested and reserve your team, or if you have any questions.  When you reserve a team, I'll send you the league number.

Phillies 84-86, my teen years of bad to really bad baseball began here.....

Thanks for uberquik sitemail.
Beverages have been flowing and team will be entered tonite!

I'll be in, but my initial thought for a team is just too bad for words.

you missed the 2001-2003 cubs on the blacklist...

So I did.  That was my team before, and they were so bad I think I created a mental block in which I no longer even register their presence on the screen.  Thanks.

Orioles 1998-2000 please. 

Refresh my memory.  With split seasons, we only use the stats for the time the player was on your team, right?

I'm down again...will revert with team.

1970-1972 White Sox

Hey busterglen.  Ideally, that would be the case.  But it's too hard to check every roster for partial seasons, so my only requirement is that you use seasons from your team for your years.  If you find someone who had combined stats, that's ok.

back with the Twins 1999-2001

I'll take the '09 - '11 Diamondbacks!
