The No Whining Progressive Early Edition (NWPEE) is looking for two one new owners

If you're interested, here's the poop on what the NWPEE is all about...

- We are a dual progressive set to enter our 39th Season, 1923/1988

- The NWPEE has a Constitution (available in the league forum) which spells out all of our rules. Owners are strongly encouraged to read it over... in the event of any league issues, the Constitution has the final say.

- We pride ourselves on our quick seasonal turnover. The 1923 / 1988 Draft goes on the clock Saturday, October 21st, the day after the conclusion of our regular season.

- In order to discourage tanking, the NWPEE has a completely random draft order. The draft order is determined at or around the All-Star Break. And yes this means that the eventual WS champion can end up drafting 1st over all. Rounds then proceed in a serpentine fashion. i.e. 1-24, 24-1, 1-24, 24-1... and so forth.

- One of the unique features of the NWPEE is that, in order to ensure that there is a constant flow of good players available (and to mitigate somewhat the effects of the random draft), the NWPEE employs Contract Points. They operate much like a salary cap. Every team has a Contract Point ceiling of 80. Contract points are the equivalent of Years. So, if I draft rookie Jay Buhner in this draft and allot him 10 Contact Points, I would own his rights from the 1988 season until the 1997 season. He will then return to the pool of draft-able players. Once "signed", a contract is ironclad and cannot be renegotiated, unless the player is traded (see Constitution) or dropped.

The number you see beside each player is the number of Contract Points they have going into the 1923/1988 season.

The open franchise locations are Anaheim, Milwaukee, Pittsburgh and Toronto. Although one of the teams will have to be located in Pittsburgh, in order to maintain the NL/AL balance.

If you have any questions, please feel free to SM me...

A fabulous league, with a steady commissioner. Random draft order means there is ZERO incentive for anyone to lose. Both teams have good talent and roster flexibility. And both have very high draft picks in a good year for it. You can lock up a HOF player at pitcher or 2B - Randy Johnson, John Smoltz, Craig Biggio, and Roberto Alomar will likely be the top four picked.

Thank crazy... and yes, both these teams stand to pick up a very good player with their 1st round picks this year.

I would do team #1
