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 just started 1989 and one owner has gone MIA, so we need someone to take over the New York Mets franchise. Their roster is listed below. You can play with this team, make trades and drafts through 1992, then in 1993, your roster would revert to that of the real-life 1993 Mets. Let me know if you have interest and I can get you the more comprehensive rules for the league. With your promise of intent to stick with the team, I'll send them over to you for free.

A number of quality players to build with on this team!

The Mets have the 4th highest salary this season - they should be a competitive team under the right manager!

Come take over the Mets and shape them as you wish!

I'm running this team for now, but would be glad to hand them over to anyone who wants to take them and plan on sticking around with us!

Thanks, Husker - it'll be good to have you!
