#117012
To "twist" means to choose from any season of a particular player. For example say you select the Mariners for 2014-2016, you can choose any year of any of those players that you want. The player must have minimally faced one batter (pitcher) or had one AB (hitter). Use baseball-reference.com for team rosters for individual seasons.
* Each owner can select up to two franchises. They will be placed in separate conferences. But you can select whichever 2 you want, regardless of which conference they are in as far as the current MLB is formatted.
*Each season the owner who improves his/her squad the most, i.e. shows the biggest improvement over how the actual squad performed in real life, will be awarded a $10 gift certificate from administration! See forum post below available teams for more information.
