The Classic Internet Baseball League (CIBL) is in its 5th season, 1984. Today is actually the 1st anniversary of our inaugural sim in 1980 (July 7, 2003).

The following 3 teams are available:

Seattle Mariners, 14-13
Best player: 25 year old Wade Boggs, their 1st overall pick in 1982. He hit .360 and .353 in his 1st 2 seasons. Other notables (age): CF Willie Wilson (28), 1B Leon Durham (26), and LF Pete O'Brien (26).
They have the 2nd best farm in the majors, with guys like Danny Tartabull and Mel Hall among 5 guys in the top 30 prospects overall.

Minnesota Twins, 8-19
Best Player: Take your pick: Bob Horner, 26, 5.0 or SP Ed Whitson, 28, 10 in ERA, 5.0
Other notables: Tony Pena, Steve Balboni, Buddy Bell.
10th best farm includes an 18 year old Jose Rijo.

Los Angeles Dodgers, 9-23
Bad news: the team is awful so far
Good news: This team won the W.S. in the league's first year in '80. Payroll is 49 mil with 46 mil available cap room. $16 mil can come off the books at the end of the year so you will have total financial flexibility to remake this team and recapture its former glory.
Best players: Dusty Baker, Dave Henderson, Dennis "El Presidente" Martinez.
4 players in top 100 led by 23 year old SP Ron Darling.

Notes
1.We are using OOTP5 and are waiting until BOSI is fully ready for OOTP6 (no bugs) before switching.
2. In the interest of parity, there is a $95 mil salary cap which will drop to $90 in two years. There is a minimum broadcasting revenue of $30 million and a cash max of $10 million (under discussion to increase to $15 million).

To join: Leave a message in the forum (Waiting List) and you will be contacted. If you are uncertain about your ablity to be active, please do not apply. The league is pretty stable and would like to keep the guys together for a long time.

Thanks,
Tito
