The Tigers are a team that has struggled to find an identity ever since the original owner chose to take over an expansion team 2 seasons ago. The team then hired a new general manager who had some issues arise in "real life" that eventually sapped his ability to run the team completely. And here is also a link to their current clubhouse. No, Jose Segovia's 96 stolen bases last season is not an error. Segovia and Jose Herrera are the cornerstone's of the team's offense. Pitching is the team's weakness as some bad development luck has hit a couple of their former aces, but the team currently has 20 million in cap room availiable and will free up another 10 million when Adam Dunn leaves after this season. With the league's new process opening up bidding on many superstar player's, this space could go a long way towards moving this team forward.

The Orioles are another team that hasn't received much attention, but has some very nice pieces already in place. Here is the link to their current clubhouse. This team's prospect list doesn't look particularly appealing given their last place finish last season, but they some key pieces in place already on the big league club. Catcher Grant Fabiano, 2b Heriberto Delariva, and SP Joel Depalma give the team a nice core of players to build around. The team features a league low 23 million dollar payroll which means an owner would have a great amount of flexibility to mold the team as they see fit. Keep in mind with the new NGBL free agency rules there will be superstar players availiable to spend this free money on.

If you are looking to test your abilities against some of the best owners around you will find the competition and activity of this league's owners to be top of the line.

Hope to be hearing from you soon, "newbies" are also welcome as there are many experienced and knowledable league members willing to help you find your bearings in the online transition.
