Back to the Progressive Theme League Classifieds...hat in hand...
We have one 1992 team available in a 12 team - 2 divisions of 6 - progressive league that started with the 1970 season - the previous owner has reprioritized his time following a recent marital engagement, so this excellent team has become available
the "excellence" comes primarily in the form of a young Barry Bonds and a young Kevin Brown
But also for offense, some of the players you get: Frank Thomas, Roberto Alomar, Kenny Lofton and Jay Bell
The pitching staff has a starting rotation that could include: along with Kevin Brown, Jimmy Key, Pete Harnisch, and Mike Boddicker - relievers include Larry Andersen, Todd Worrell, Jeff Brantley and Mike Henneman
Also...this team has the next - overall 2nd - pick in the 1992 draft with Mike Piazza as the only player already selected...leaving players such as Jeff Kent, Moises Alou, Denny Neagle, and Pat Hentgen available
The 12 team format offers a rather unique opportunity to build a very deep team in a progressive league
Why play in a 12 team league? Well, the bottom line is that your division winner will play in the World Series...it's that simple....no worrying about a great team getting ambushed in the playoffs...win the division and you're in the World Series!!
League Rules
There will only be 12 teams in this league. There will be one division of six in each league.
The league started with the 1970 season
The draft order is determined at game 141. You must have won at least 40 games at that time or you pick 4th - unless you are taking over someone else's team from a prior season. Picks 1-12 for future seasons are determined by the inverse order of record at Game 141. Tie breaker will be the "expected win percentage" which can be found within the advanced standings. The team with the lower expected wins percentage gets the tie breaker advantage.
No DH, no salary cap, No AAA
Exclusive stadiums
No starting players out of position
Draft Picks may only be traded one year in advance.
No limit to the reserve list should your player be out a year in WIS database. Only players within the WIS database for a given season may be drafted.
