This is an OOTP5 League. The game is required. Those new to OOTP online leagues are encouraged to join us.
We are just about to start the 2013 post season, so now would be a great time to step in and start working your magic on this team.
Milwaukee is currently a middle of the road team in arguably the most winnable division in HFTC. Their farm is currently ranked 11th and they are going to have a lot of wiggle room salary wise next season for FA and/or trades. Don't be put off by Milwaukee's most recent 100 loss season, they have been ghost-managed the last two seasons (no trades or FA offers, simple roster management and extensions). Our previous Milwaukee GM got married and moved. I was ghost managing them while giving the previous long time owner a chance to get his life organized back to where he would have time for HFTC. Unfortunately, that never happened and now Milwaukee is available to a new owner.
Below is some more info on HFTC. If you are interested or have questions, contact me or post in our
waiting list forum. Please include your contact information including email and AIM handle if you have one.
