The long-running Real Life Progressive league is looking for new Chicago Cubs and Boston Red Sox owners. You could inherit one of the two most revered ball parks in the country! The Red Sox are a really competitive team stocked with long-term pitchers (over 750 excellent SP IPs in 1982, plus 1,390 overall entering the draft), plus many long-term position players. They have the 6th pick in the draft. The Cubs have tons of big names at almost every fielding position, most for many years to come. Their starting staff will be in rebuilding mode in 1982, but bounces back strong in 1983, anchored by Tom Seaver.
This progressive league is like most, except that any player who started his career in a season is available to be drafted that season in the first round. In other words, in 1982, Don Mattingly and other "Prospects" can be drafted -- they started their careers in 1982, but were not WIS eligible. A prospect joins any players you have on the DL until he is WIS eligible. If you select a prospect in the 1st round (meaning someone who played in 1981, but wasn't WIS eligible), you can pick up your 25th player in the supplemental draft round, which occurs after the normal draft is finished. The rest is pretty standard, with 4 AAA that you select from the 1981 season, and a DH is used in the AL.
