We are looking for two replacement owners, so we can start our 1940 draft. This is a 12 team league (hence the name "Dirty Dozen") which started in 1920. Goal is for fast turnaround (as long as everyone posts keepers quickly!). We are a group of veteran and new owners, so a fairly good mix.

We are a single season progressive, with catch that you can keep max 20 players going into each season, to prevent loading up. Also, there is a first round draft lottery for the bottom four finishers to offset any tanking. The rest of the picks are worst to first.

There is no DH (its 1940!), trades are encouraged. You can use the 6 below average AAA players also.

It should be fun as we enter "the War Years".

Please post or sitemail your interest.

OK - you get the fifth pick in the draft.

If you take Cincinnati then you are up to select in the draft now.....

Team is a rebuild, but some good pieces are coming off IR in the next several seasons:

Mickey Vernon, Goody Rosen etc.

Sent you a site mail.

Did Husker take the team?
