I just finished my 8th season in the league. The team I took over when I joined was in disarray, and I had to build the team from nothing. I joined with a bit of hesitancy, as I knew it could take many *many* seasons to build a team up to be able to compete, and sometimes online leagues come and go or are otherwise unstable or not worth a large time investment. Would it be worth spending what would ultimately be a year or more of real life effort in order to rebuild this team?
I had no reason to be concerned with this league. Jason is one of the best commissioners you could ask for, and the dedication of the other GMs cannot be denied. The league is very active in slack, very willing to answer or discuss questions/thoughts/ideas, and overall extremely competitive. Over the last five seasons, three of the World Series winning teams have been first time winners, showing a good level of parity in the league that looks to continue forward into the future. And this league moves fast - you gotta be able to be flexible, involved, and active in monitoring e-mails, slack, and exporting.
Make no mistake, the team that is available needs a lot of help. This team has the #3 draft pick in the upcoming season, and you will get a chance to build this team as you want in the upcoming seasons. But if you're up for the challenge and if making friends with a group of passionate GMs sounds like your idea of a worthy past-time, you should give this league a shot. Most GMs have been in this league for many real life years, so positions are typically few and far between!
