So, with all the worst to first dynasties, I thought is might be nice to start one with a different twist. I decided to find the two most in-ept teams over the last 15 years and have a race to see which one I could bring a World Series trophy to first.

After alot of thought, I settled on my Kansas City Royals, who have not sniffed first place in 15 years. (Well, we did briefly in 2003), and the Pittsburgh Pirates, who have also been in-ept during that same period of time.

I have also set some ground rules for these 2 small market teams.

1) I can only trade players for prospects or older (34+vets)
2) I can only sign minor league free agents, free agents coming off injury, or free agents 34+.
3) I can only sign 1 "Big Money" free agent, and I still have to stay within the teams budget, and he cannot be traded until fullfilling at least 2 years on his contract and he must be in his 3rd year.
4) I can sign homegrown talent to long term deals, and they can be traded at anytime.
5) A players demand to be traded must be met.

The Dynasty ends in 2010, or sooner if either team wins a Championship.

Firing is off.

I will be posting the Pirates on a seperate thread to keep from having confusion between the 2 teams. A Royals edition and a Pirates Edition.
