Wild Things League needs 5 owners

[PDHitman]

We are at the trade deadline in our league and had 5 teams not get any exports in so far including our recently completed amateur draft, so we are relieving those owners of responsibility and looking for replacements.

The following teams are available-
Philly Star Home Page Claimed, no longer available
Milwaukee Braves Home Page
Pittsburgh Buckeyes Home Page Claimed, no longer available
Baltimore Orioles Home Page Claimed, no longer available
Laredo Border Patrol Home Page Claimed, no longer available

Take a look at the league and the teams at Wildthings2.com

We are the 'Wild Things League', a group of owners that used OOTP 6.5 for a random debut league (BEFORE it was all the rage) and are now converting and starting anew with OOTP 13. We are starting in a 1962 universe, mostly because it gives us 20 teams and we are using 2 sub leagues and 4 divisions with division winners and 2 wildcards making playoffs. We have populated our teams with players from baseballs history and we have a level of AA minors and Rookie Ball, which you will customize those teams as well.

Each league is having a DH, and each team has a AA and a Rookie team. 25 man limit on the AA squad and no limit on the Rookie. Draft is June 15 w/ a random import of players and we email draft two rounds with the rest being auto selected (talent is cruddy by then anyhow). 40 man rosters w/ Rule 5 draft and a hefty tax for going over the average payroll by more than 25% are part of the league. As well there is no draft pick trading (that never works for keeping competitive balance, so we are forcing owners who are, lets say, less adept, from throwing their futures away year in and year out) and we are using free agent compensation rules that were just included in the new basic agreement.

We ask for a $10 donation for the website and server fees, and that you be active in managing your team and responding to emails. We are a very fun group and we are looking for the select few who share our love of OOTP and comraderie. If interested, reply here or email me at pcdawson2@yahoodotcom with your 'qualifications' and good luck!
