The 1997 single season Icon Progressive is looking for an owner to take over the Twins mid-season. The team is currently in first place through 50+ games and are well positioned to continue their success. Take over the team for free for the rest of the season and who knows you may get some credits out of it. We just ask that you stick around at least for 1998--maybe longer.
It's a unique concept with just a few rules that may seem a bit more confusing than they really are:
The basics:
Salary Cap: None
Waiver Wire: No
AAA: 12/6 below average SIM generated + career keepers with fewer than 60 IP/150 PA in the given season.
Trades: Absolutely
Transaction deadline: No (though trades must be complete by 120, you may use AAA the entire season)
Alignment: 24 teams, three divisions as close to real life as possible (the Tigers, Brewers and expansion teams are absent)
DH: AL only
Keepers: Unlimited. Any players assigned as career keepers remain with the team their entire career.
Keeper Rules:
CAREER KEEPERS - Any player who has played his entire career for one team (or entire WiS career) will belong to that team. If a player has played for several teams but has only racked up 50 AB or 25 IP in a season for one team he will also belong to the team for which he played the bulk of his career. So if Player A plays four full seasons for the Dodgers, then goes to the Cubs where he only nets 30 ABs and is traded to the Mets where he gets another 30 he will be still be considered a Dodgers Career Keeper.
TEAM ICONS - Any player whose first ten or more eligible WIS seasons are with the same team, and who has had no more than 3 WIS seasons with other teams (including expansion teams) will be designated a Team Icon and belong to the team whom he played 10 years for.
-Any player who racked up more than 25 IP/50 AB with a single active franchise, regardless of seasons with a defunct franchise (Brewers, Tigers, Rockies, Marlins, D-Backs, Rays) will be the property of the active franchise.
- Any Team Icon being may be placed on IR any season he did not play for your franchise.
- Any player who played every game for an expansion/defunct team or has fewer than 25 IP/50 AB will not be eligible to be drafted by any team.
*Every other player who does not fall in to one of these rules will be eligible to be drafted by any team he appeared in 1 game for (any team that shows up on his B-R page at the time of the draft).
