In this thread, you can sign up to become a player in the Northwest League (read about the NWL in this thread). Because the Northwest League takes players let loose from the major leagues as well as brand-new players that don't get signed by one of the remaining 24 major league teams, you can choose to be either a free agent to start your career or a brand-new prospect, age 18-22 to be drafted. If you choose to be a free agent, your player must be at least 23 years old.

The 2011 season is currently underway, so the earliest debut date will be 2012.

The Rules (subject to change):

You can have up to 5 players active at any one time, but no more than 2 debuting in any one season. There is no limit to how many players overall can debut in a specific year.

How to Sign Up

Reply in this thread with the following information:

First Name:
Last Name:
Nickname (optional):
Debut Year (2012 or later):
Birthdate:
Free Agent or Prospect:
Preferred Position:
Alternate Position:
Specialty 1:
Specialty 2:
Bats (L/R/S):
Throws (L/R):
Character Trait (optional):
Place of Origin (optional):

For hitters, choose specialties from contact, gap power, HR power, eye, avoiding Ks, defense or speed.
For pitchers, choose from stuff, control, movement, velocity, duration, defense or hitting (this is a no-DH league)

For character trait, choose one of Loyalty, Needs Winning Team, Team Leader, Clutch Performance or Consistency to max out.

Place of Origin is not required, but given that this is a region-centric league, if you don't provide one, chances are you'll be from somewhere in the northwest. If you're okay with that, I'm okay with that.

You can also add any biographical information such as height, weight, uniform number. If you like, you can come up with a story for why your player is coming to the Northwest League rather than playing in what's left of the majors, or I can come up with the story.

Example:
First Name: Ben
Last Name: Watson
Nickname: Spud
Debut Year: 2023
Birthdate: 1/13/05
Free Agent or Prospect: Prospect
Preferred Position: SS
Alternate Position: CF
Specialty 1: Eye
Specialty 2: Defense
Bats: S
Throws: R
Character Trait: Clutch
