An owner is stepping away from progressives, so we have an opening in the 1997 Space Age Progressive League.

Space Age is a 20-team league that uses a 4-year cumulative win total to determine draft order. There's a 20-keeper limit each season, which keeps rosters fresh and the trade wire active.

No trade vetoes; DH in both leagues; most teams play in historic ballparks or may change to current home park.

Team is a rebuild with 1st pick in this year's draft, with high draft picks expected for next few seasons with favorable status from the 4-year cumulative draft.

The current owner has posted a keeper list, as we're headed into the draft next week. This can be amended by the new owner. Current owner has offered to see through the draft and start the season if there are no immediate takers. Thanks for looking! hb

but my gawd this team is a trainwreck, how is it even possible that a franchise has nearly no starting pitching beyond 1997

But...............I will take on this monstrous task. (Are there any open cities I could consider moving to if I prefer that ballpark?)

I will also post keepers soon, as there will be some changes

thx

Awesome! Details on the way..

Got your SM but phone having trouble verifying my humanness from my beach chair. . Will respond when I can get a better signal this evening.

lolol no worries.

Since SM not working consistently. ..

Sure, any unused ballpark from 1946 to 1997, that's not affiliated with a current team

Thanks. Gonna move to Toronto - SkyDome

Once added to the league forum I'll post my keepers there as well
