If a new owner takes any of these teams and then returns for the NEXT season, I will send you a $10 loyalty credit for coming back!

TREX Progressive* is halfway through its 20th season. We're using players from 1930 and 1970, progressing one season at a time, so next year it'll be 31/71, etc. Many teams will have a few players left from 2010 as well, but we haven't been drafting current players since 2001. Those few contemporary players will "expire" after the 2011 season. 

120 million cap, no DH, no WW, trading of draft picks only one season ahead. Unlimited DL for players who don't have a WIS season for whatever reason. No AAA (6 players provided only for the sake of balancing out in-season trades. If AAA players are acquired via trade, they must be sent to the minors or set to rest so they do not play.) All off-season trades must be balanced and picks traded must be actual picks 

Draft order is set at the 120 game mark, worst to first, except that a team must win 40 games by then or will pick no higher than first. Ties are decided by run differential.

Standard 24 teams, six divisions. Any stadium can be used, as long as it is from 1930 or 1970 and no other team is using it.

*At first, we were a 51/91 dual era progressive, and the name was just random. Later, we decided to phase in early era players from the 1920s - our "dinosaurs" - one player at a time, until we changed our dual eras. Thus the significance of the name.

Pittsburgh (Three Rivers) looks like a Big Red Machine in the making: Dave Concepcion and Joe Morgan up the middle, Perez at one of the corner spots, Gary Nolan dealing. Great foundation for success in the 70s

Capitol Hill owns all its future picks and a second first round pick in the 31/71 draft.

Last season drbernabo led an abandoned team straight to the World Series title.

We've started our season but will be looking for replacement owners for next year for these three teams. Let me know if you want a head start with a free team transfer....

Current Records:
Atlanta 52-30 (one games up in WC race)
Pittsburgh: 46-36 (five games up in division)
Capitol Hill: 39-43, 4 games back in their division

I'll take a shot at the Pittsburgh franchise if it's still available.

You'll missed the boat on this one - league presently contracting - if a team becomes available in the future you should jump on it with both feet and not let it get away again
