1988 Progressive Franchise Twist - FULL Topic

This progressive started in the 1959 season and is now entering 1988. Twist the 1988 season for your teams roster.....and every subsequent season into the present.

We need owner for 1 franchise…. you can choose from the following:

***(SOME TEAMS WITH GREAT FUTURES.....cough cough Cleveland)***

Cleveland
San Diego
Toronto


*** This is a league where you will have some seasons that are just not good, and you know it, but you are owning a franchise for the good seasons. Franchise changes are first come first serve.***

RULES
Twist the 1988 season for your teams roster.....and every subsequent season into the present.

If you are new to the "twist" concept it means that you can use any season of a players career, as long as he played at least 1 game with your selected team that season. (Use https://www.baseball-reference.com/) If a player played 1 game for the Cardinals in 1988, then he is eligible to be used, and you can draft any season of his career.

Twist every season after that as we go along.
Usual Twist rules.....use roster at baseball-reference.com, use any season for any player on roster

*$108m for the initial 25-man roster you draft

*We MANUALLY DRAFT AAA - Each AAA player has a max of $1.5m salary.
(the purpose of this is for depth and these players still come from the real roster for your team) There are pretty much more AAA slots than you can draft. This is to assure enough PA and IP.

DH in BOTH leagues
No WW
No Clones
Use Stadium used by your team

ALIGNMENT IS FIRST TO WORST EVERY YEAR BASED ON WIN PCT. (So AL West is worst 4 teams) (This can be altered due to 2 team owners being split across the 2 leagues)

Doesn't this mean that you can use the same excellent season of a player every year?
Say someone took on San Diego..........couldn't they just use Gwynn's best season, and Garry Templeton's best, and R. Alomar's best and B. Santiago's best............year after year??

Yes, that can be how it works if you want, making sure to fit under the salary cap.
