Stadium: Whatever you want

You will choose one franchise when you sign up, and draft the second after we are full. Number next to each franchise is the order for the draft (only 24 of the 28 will be taken). Rank was determined by franchise wins from 1969-2008. Each franchise may only be chosen once in the initial sign-up and once in the draft round. Example: You choose Toronto when signing up, and thus would draft your second franchise no later than fourth. Or if you choose the Reds when signing up, anyone taking the Yankees, Red Sox, Dodgers or A's would draft after you in the second round.

To be eligible for playoffs, your team must draft at least 1700 PA and 500 IP from each of your franchises. Because franchises may only be taken once at sign-up, please be sure you will stick with the league before signing up.

Mets-Athletics and Braves-Astros were champions in first two versions. Highly competitive league in which any franchise combo can be competitive. In first two seasons combined, one team was over. 600 and three were under .400 (two of those were .395). In those two seasons, 19 franchises (or franchise combos) have been represented in the playoffs.

I'll take the rays/marlins combo.

Okay so say I jump in with the Twins, when draft time comes I could then draft a team that was taken in inital signups like say the Astros?

Yes, each franchises will be available once upon signup, and once in the draft.

Okay, give me the Mariners josh.
