The 2005 Team Icon League needs a new owner for the Twins. The Team Icon League rules are basically you can only ever have players that played for your team at some point in their career. There are two special cases for keepers listed below and if a player doesn't fall into one of those two cases then he is eligible for all teams they had at least one appearance for.

CAREER KEEPERS - Any player who has every season in WiS for one team will belong to that team. They cannot be cut, but may be put in AAA as the rules state below.
*Ryne Sandberg would still be a Cubs Career Keeper even though he had 6 ABs for PHI in 1981 because all of this WiS seasons 1982-1997 are with CHC

TEAM ICONS - Any player whose first ten or more eligible WIS seasons are with the same team, and who has had no more than 3 full WIS seasons with other teams (including defunct teams) will be designated a Team Icon and belong to the team whom he played 10 years for.

Any player who only played for one active team, while all his other teams are defunct (CHC, CLE, MIL, SDP, SEA, TEX) will be a Team Icon of the active team, even if it was just 1 PA/1 IP with that active team.
- If a player is traded during his 10th season he will still qualify and that season will not be used against his 3.

- Any Team Icon being may be placed on IR any season he did not play for your franchise.

The team we have open is the Minnesota Twins. Their roster is below. Their owner went AWOL in 2004 and they finished last in the AL West. They have the #1 Pick in all rounds. Trading is hot and heavy in this league as teams try to jump each other to get players that they need. The 2005 Draft is ready to go as soon as we get an owner for the Twins. C'mon in! We'd love to have you!

This is a league that has solid owners & it’s not your typical draft anyone progressive. Trading is hot & heavy as you have to strike when the iron is hot for your pool of unique team rookies.

This team is on the verge of making some noise in the AL.

It’s easily my favorite progressive.

#1 Pick means you're guaranteed Ervin Santana or you can trade the pick for a boatload more of future picks. Trading is indeed hot and heavy in this format.

And we're full.
