After a successful first season PTB has cleaned house and is getting new and fresh owners. Unfortuently towards the end of the year the previous commissioner had a family problem that some people seemed to panic after a short league break. Some others were forced to leave due to other personal reasons. It's a great league that is ultra competitive. Case and point my 106 win Minnesota Twins missed the playoffs by 1 game.

Avail Teams
Texas - Led by Stan Musial and Ivan Rodriguez this team needs some work done to compete with top heavy AL Powers that be but have a solid core.
Tampa - Needs some pitching depth but Willie McCovey and Mike Schmidt will help heal its lack of depth for the time.
Oakland - Need depth in free agency this year but have the star power with Pistol Pete, Tejada, Chavez Tim Hudson, and Zito.
Seattle - Tom Seaver, Ichiro, Manny Ramirez, Paul Byrd...nice right...now get some depth and they are hooked
Chicago A - Good team in a great division. Basically all your original sox with few changes plus jackie robinson
SF - No Bonds but Bernie, Sheffield, Mondesi/Sanders outfield aint bad plus they have Whitey Ford.
Atlanta - Loss of Maddux proved costly but quickness on top of lineup helped...nice farm system
Chicago N - The pitching staff is mind blowing...Nolan Ryan, Prior, Zambrano, Wood, Clement among a fury of others. Not to mention Rivera. Another hitter and they could be on their way.
Milwaukee - Milwaukee...need i say any more ick...*REBUILDERS DREAM*
Pittsburgh - Not as far away as some might think, Giles/Hank Aaron/Damon outfield combined with Garcia and Pettite make for a decent team that has a starting point.
Arizona - Salmon/Luis/Schilling/Kim/Honus Wagner aint a bad start combined with some decent prospects who will be ready shortly.
LA - Big Unit/Maddux/Griffey/Lou Gehrig...Nice starting spot ill say...Could go for title now or try to deal for top tier prospects...Versatile
