Vancouver (AL West) - is led by
Bob Darensbourg (2B) and
Cesar Rios (1B) on the offensive side with
Yorvit Nunez (SP) and
Bill Rossy (RP) on the pitching side. The minors has several players from the draft and internal pool.
Tony Figureoa (2B),
LJ Friend (3B),
Adeiny Beato (SP),
Ronald Bailey (SP),
Asdrubal Baerga (SS),
Dicky Wanatabe (1B),
John Hayashi (SP),
Marcell Leon (LF), and
Yimi Castro (1B).
The team had 79 wins last year. They should have the 17th pick in season 59's draft. With a couple of moves, the team could compete for the division this season.
Atlanta (AL East) - this team has a protected first round pick in season 59. It also has decent and relatively young up-the-middle defense in Benito, Alex, and Miguel. Despite winning 77 games and being a bit more of a veteran team (very good veteran pitcher, #2 type starting pitcher, rubber arm bullpen piece), the franchise does not have a bunch of bloated contracts. It is a very manageable team with some decent farm pieces -- #19 overall pick from season 58, #15 overall pick from season 56, an mlb ready 3b, another mlb ready infielder, a COF/!b type with speed and power, a gold glove type SS, a first round pick that will likely develop into a decent infielder.
This franchise should be covered for infield for a while. If the new owner found some bats, it could easily compete long term.
San Diego (NL West) -- will have the 24th pick in season 59. Lots of talent -- Jones, Coggins, Reed, Williams, Herndon. All five are age 30 or under. It also has plenty of other talent. You really got to check out this team. It can compete with anyone.
World Rules:
1. The one season MWR is 55 wins or a .400 expected win percentage. The two season MWR is 120 wins or a two season .400 expected win percentage (Runs scored over two seasons ^1.81)/[(Runs Scored over two seasons^1.81) + (Runs Allowed over two seasons^1.81)]
New owners are exempt from MWR their first season. Owners that come halfway through a season are exempt from MWR for the remaining of the season and the following season.
An Owner that does not meet the MWR will forfeit their team.
2. Minor league rosters are to be maintained. The expectation is to have rosters that are rested within reason. Position players are expected to play a position that relates to their abilities within reason. Examples of rosters not being maintained: A DH playing SS, a SP with 0 rest starting a game.
3. Player(s) to be named later are not allowed in trades.
4. The world chat is to be used for positive discussion and debate that move the league forward.
5. If the commissioner perceives the name of a team "not in the best interest of the league" the owner must change the name appropriately.
6. The Rule 5 Draft will not be discussed on World Chat after rosters have been frozen, this includes all owners in the league.
7. If you have someone in your household or a friend whom you live near playing in this world,
it must be disclosed immediately when that person joins this world. If later it is found out that this situation exists, the owners will both be removed from the world immediately.
8. If you decide to leave the world during the season, you will let the commissioner know and the commissioner will find a replacement for you. If you have yourself replaced, the new owner agrees that they may be replaced with a new owner that the commissioner chooses.
