Jubilee Progressive
The Jubilee progressive is based on the concept that every 7 years, in times gone by, slaves were freed, debts forgiven and property restored. That final point is the concept the Jubilee Revisited Progressive League (JRPL) is based. League owners have the player rights to their chosen franchise returned to them every seven seasons. During the six seasons between, via rookie draft and trades, owners try to improve their franchise beyond what their MLB counterparts were able to field and best that MLB Won/Loss Percentage. That is a personally satisfying (or discouraging) unique challenge to the league. The other challenge is much more traditional....make the playoffs, win the World Series.
We need an owner for the Milwaukee Brewers. We're finishing up 1983 right now, so you could choose your keepers for 1984. Our next jubilee season is 1987, so you would inherit the roster below and get to draft and trade to improve the roster through 1986. Then in 1987, your roster would change to match the real-life 1987 Milwaukee Brewers for you to improve upon until the next jubilee in 1993. The draft order is based upon your franchise's real-life finish instead of how your team performs in the progressive league, so there is no benefit in tanking.
Let me know if you’re interested, and please ask questions if something isn’t clear!
