Hey, Mattingly has rolled and has 10 openings. This is a great league with a ton of high quality owners dedicated to sticking around each season - ten of the 22 current owners have at least 1 WS title, with 46 between them. Add in a bunch of newer owners with a fresh excitement about the game and building their own contenders and that number should increase. Maybe it'll be you.

As far as teams go, there's a mix of everything. If you want to contend immediately, we've got that. If you want hot prospects, we've got that, and if you're looking for a ground-up rebuild, we've got that too. If you're interested, shoot me (krindor) a message and we'll get you in and get started.

AL North
Cleveland Curse Franchise - Led by Storm Bush, they won 97 games last season, and have some solid young professional hitters with more on the way (Reynaldo Lopez). Likely best served by improving the pitching staff and contending, but there's always trade demand for young hitters so could move either way.

Toledo Mudhens Franchise - The opposite of success, these guys were terrible last season and the season before. The ML roster has a few nice pieces (Bert Randolph), but lacks the depth and high-end talent to contend right away. Luckily, this team is armed with the #1 overall pick and some lurking talent in the minors (chiefly Norman Newson). This is a rebuild, but in position to get started right away.

AL East
Hartford Federalists Franchise - One click tells you a lot about this team. Led by 26 year old, 2x Silver Slugger shortstop Dixie Sutton, this team has a lot of high-end, young talent. Add 27 year old Dom Griffey, 27 year old Bucky O'Day, and 26 year old Mitchell Hendricks and this team has a lineup ready for years to come. Some good minor league prospects also ensure this team the flexibility to contend as the seasons pass.

AL West
Anaheim Halos Franchise - Another team with high-end talent, including Jordan Coles, who I've personally tried to trade for more times than I can count. Probably makes sense to hold him though with ace Victor Pujols in the last season of a big contract. This is a team that needs to decide which way to go, right now they don't have the needed depth around their stars to compete at the highest level.

NL West
Scottsdale Slumdogs Franchise - Knocked out in the NLCS last season, this team is clearly loaded with talent. Players like Edgardo Rodriguez, Jose Carrara, Joshua Newman, and Miguel Galvez are elite talents at the ML level and still in their prime.

San Diego Electrics Franchise - A playoff team last season led by veteran Theo Rivera and young stars like SS York Hultzen, SS Tony LaHair, LF Charlie Castner, true ace Stuffy Hall, and a score of quality supporting castmembers. This team has kept me out of the playoffs the past two seasons and with the age of their stars, there's a good chance that keeps up.

NL North
Tacoma Rainiers Franchise - This one's a rebuild, but has a good foundation for it, with almost no contracts past this season. In addition, they've got promising young 2B Raymond Skipworth and young prospect pitcher Juan Ruiz and a few potentially promising options in the lower minors. Additionally, they are part of an ongoing 4 season competition (currently in season 2) of rebuilds, with the winner getting up to $50 in WIS gift cards. Contact me for more details about the competition.

Syracuse Sliders Franchise - After a long time contending and leading the division (9 consecutive seasons), this team has finally ended their run and has a fairly bare cupboard. They've got the #6 pick and the rebuild starts now.

NL South
Huntington Water Buffaloes Franchise - This franchise is led at the ML level by Asdrubal Pescado, an elite defensive SS with enough bat to contribute at the plate as well. There's a collection of adequate, but not exceptional talent (including SS Jo-jo Edmonds waiting in the minors). Additionally, they are part of an ongoing 4 season competition (currently in season 2) of rebuilds, with the winner getting up to $50 in WIS gift cards. Contact me for more details about the competition.

San Juan Conquistadors Franchise - This team was in pretty rough straits a few seasons back, but has been cleaned up some and look closer to turning the corner. Not a lot at the major league level, but some prospects are on the way. Yamil Uribe will likely be the first to arrive, and could either be surrounded with FA or traded for more talent. This one will likely require some care over a few seasons.
