Spahn has just rolled with 4 openings. We are a private world with two world rules.

1. Winning % Rule
All owners are required to maintain a .400 better winning % at the ML level every season. If a franchise has a season where it falls below .400 winning percentage they will be notified. A 3rd consecutive season under .400 winning % will result in automatic removal from Spahn.

2. Minor League Management
All franchises are required to maintain full rosters at all minor league rosters, minimum 25 players with more recommended. Those 25 should include an appropriate number of position players and enough pitchers to prevent their pitching staff from falling to 0 stamina for an extended period. There is no expectation to daily management of the minor leagues or of talent level and no minimum winning percentage in the minor leagues. You can have the AI manage all levels of the minor leagues. Violators will be warned and expected to correct deficiencies in their minor leagues at the soonest possible time. If the offending owner fails to correct the problem or becomes a persistent offender that owner will be subject to removal.

The last few rollovers we've averaged 4-7 open teams and we usually fill relatively quickly.

[reserved]

NL South
Former Oklahoma City Franchise The two best players are pre-arbitration in LF Wells and SS Milligan. Veteran 3B Lollar and power hitting 2B Casali provide further support in the batting order. The team finished under .500 last year mostly because of a lack of pitching depth as SP Barkett is the best starter in the rotation. The team focused on pitching in the draft last year getting SP Choo. Top pick 2B Wood lurks in the minors too, and so does 1B Coulter, SP Martin, They have a fairly low payroll and the 10th overall pick in the draft.

NL West
Former Tucson Franchise - A good team with 9 arbitration eligible players so there's some flexibility in salary and roster decisions. RP Jones returns from injury to anchor the bullpen but the Ace is SP Walters who is followed by SP Palmeiro. Last year they drafted 2B Barnes in the first round. They also have IF Brown, RF Buck, CF Park, RF Bradshaw, SS Wagner, 2B Stahoiak, CF Silva, and 1B Sojo in the minors. The farm system is not top heavy but it is deep (with ML ready talent) and that gives any new owner a lot of options and flexibility. They will pick 18th in this season's amatuer draft.

AL East
Former Hartford Franchise The owner of this team has verbally told me he's coming back, but hasn't yet. They will have the 3rd overall pick in the draft this year. Last year's 4th overall pick was SP Lennon and two years ago the 2nd overall pick was SP OBrien. Three seasons ago they took SS Gonzalez with the 3rd overall pick. Other prospects are SP Landrum, SS McNeil, 1B Rivers, and RP Gongora. The team figures to have a very low payroll with only 2 players making over $1 million and 12 players eligible for arbitration. The best players in the Majors are 1B Dunn, SS Stone, and SP Evans.

AL South
Former San Antonio Franchise

AL West
Former Santa Cruz Franchise Has been a steady franchise finishing over .500 for 6 straight seasons and having one owner for the past 10 seasons. Despite all that success, they have no outrageous contracts and a medium payroll. The young CF Pagan is the star of the franchise, which has only 4 players older than 30 years old. A starting staff of SP Guerrero, SP Morrison, and SP Pujols is a pretty solid foundation. C Wilson and 1B McCarty provide some depth behind Pagan in the lineup.They'll pick 17th this year. TAKEN

I sent the password out to two people interested in Hartford (AL East) and Oklahoma City (NL West) so I'm just waiting to see if they join before taking time to write detailed descriptions.

I like all the prospects in that AL East team. Good one to grab
