The team up for grabs is a very poor one. The owner disappeared mid-draft, but never managed the team well. I think it will take several seasons until the team is able to compete for a postseason spot.

This team will be free. I am going to enter/manage the team until a new owner is found, and will transfer the team to the new owner. We are done with the 1976 draft, and waiting on owners to get their teams in.

Team plays in Tiger Stadium. The league itself is a pretty standard one, and has a lot of trading.

The team has traded its 1977 2nd-round pick away, but has two 1st-round picks in 1977.

Please do not take this team unless you understand that
A) It sucks,
B) It will take a lot of work to turn it around.

One player is on IR--C John Ellis.

P.S. I will also pay for the 4th season for the new owner (although you'll have to remind me, in all likelihood).

I'll take over this one.  I love the idea of a challenge.
