Jubilee Progressive
The Jubilee progressive is based on the concept that every 7 years, in times gone by, slaves were freed, debts forgiven and property restored. That final point is the concept the Jubilee Revisited Progressive League (JRPL) is based. League owners have the player rights to their chosen franchise returned to them every seven seasons. During the six seasons between, via rookie draft and trades, owners try to improve their franchise beyond what their MLB counterparts were able to field and best that MLB Won/Loss Percentage. That is a personally satisfying (or discouraging) unique challenge to the league. The other challenge is much more traditional....make the playoffs, win the World Series.
We need one new owner. We're just starting the 1986 playoffs, and 1987 is a Jubilee season, so you would get the real-life roster of one of the open teams (listed below) to start with in 1987. From the roster listed, you would need to drop enough players to get down to 25 - unless you select the Twins, who have only 24 players. For them, you would draft one player that another team dropped to fill out your roster. The draft order is based upon your franchise's real-life finish instead of how your team performs in the progressive league, so there is no benefit in tanking.
Let me know if you’re interested, and please ask questions if something isn’t clear!
