Former Florida franchise (97-65, 1st in ALSouth, 31st pick in the draft)
http://www.whatifsports.com/hbd/Pages/Popups/FranchiseRoster.aspx?fid=6441
This franchise has won at least 89 games in the last 7 seasons with 2 World Series appearances and 4 division titles in that time. Junior Soler http://www.whatifsports.com/hbd/Pages/Popups/PlayerRatings.aspx?pid=6881764 is the reigning AL MVP (along with both the Silver Slugger and Gold Glove at 1B). Jesus Villanueva http://www.whatifsports.com/hbd/Pages/Popups/PlayerRatings.aspx?pid=7124083 and Ender Melendez http://www.whatifsports.com/hbd/Pages/Popups/PlayerRatings.aspx?pid=8443929 make this one of the most dangerous lineups in Knuckleball. Vasco Molina http://www.whatifsports.com/hbd/Pages/Popups/PlayerRatings.aspx?pid=7920774 leads the rotation and is just 24 and under club control for 8 more seasons. This is an instant playoff team for its next owner.
Former Albuquerque franchise (96-66, 2nd in NL West, 30th pick in the draft)
http://www.whatifsports.com/hbd/Pages/Popups/FranchiseRoster.aspx?fid=6465
This franchise has won at least 90 games for 8 straight season with 4 world series appearances in that time frame. They have won 8 division titles in Knuckleball's 12 seasons. This has been year in and year out a top franchise in this world.
Former Los Angeles franchise (53-109, 4th in Al West, 1st pick in the draft)
http://www.whatifsports.com/hbd/Pages/Popups/FranchiseRoster.aspx?fid=6449
This franchise has been the victim of a turnstile in ownership after starting the first 9 seasons as one of the best teams in Knuckleball. Forunately, it is still setup well for a rebuild if an owner will commit to it. Only 7 salaries on the ML team are above minimum, with the highest being 6.5 million (33.7 total between the 7). Davey Bazardo
http://www.whatifsports.com/hbd/Pages/Popups/PlayerRatings.aspx?pid=7300475 is the highest paid player yet is not on a bad contract and should have some trade value in a rebuild. Top prospects include Goucho Brown
http://www.whatifsports.com/hbd/Pages/Popups/PlayerRatings.aspx?pid=9026821 Leo Lange
http://www.whatifsports.com/hbd/Pages/Popups/PlayerRatings.aspx?pid=8844212 Buzz Norton
