We need 2 replacement owners for a progressive which started in 1970. We will be entering our 19th season (1988).

Rosters for the 2 teams and actual stats for their players for 1988 are shown below. Interested owners will be given immediate access to the league's private forum, which contains league rules and prior seasons keeper lists and drafts.

This is a 16 team league and since there were 26 teams in real life there is plenty of talent available.

As this is a very stable league and I am looking for long term owners, I will review interested owners progressive league history before awarding the team. Please indicate interest below.

The first task of new owners will be to post keeper lists for the teams as we are currently in that stage of progress.

The first team available is the Philadelphia Phantoms (NL team). The Phantoms current record is 68-56, leading their division by one game.

The 1987 roster for the Phantoms is as follows:

Scott	Bradley	C
Bo	Diaz	C
Pete	O'Brien	1B
Ryne	Sandberg	2B
Mike	Pagliarulo	3B
Tony	Fernandez	SS
Scott	Fletcher	SS
Matt	Williams	SS
Ivan	Calderon	OF
Mel	Hall	OF
Shane	Mack	OF
Lloyd	Moseby	OF
Danny	Tartabull	OF
Willie	Wilson	OF
Bill	Madlock	DH
Doyle	Alexander	P
Jim	Deshaies	P
Kevin	Gross	P
Andy	McGaffigan	P
Dale	Mohorcic	P
Randy	Myers	P
Eric	Show	P
Rick	Sutcliffe	P
Mike	Witt	P
Todd	Worrell	P

Of the above players, only Madlock retired after the 1987 season.

Actual batting statistics for the Phantom Players for 1987 were as follows:

OK the team is yours- I'll give you immediate access to the league's private forum.

Please post keepers once you have had time to evaluate the team.
