Fun league! Tony is a great, active Commish! Give us a join! I'm the Indians btw. Sadly lost to the Dodgers in the WS

I would like to be Oakland. Does it matter that I've never played online before?

Fun & active league ya'll! If you haven't played a league with scouting/coaching turned off I recommend it; adds to the competitive balance of the league.

"- Draft Order to help struggling teams while still discouraging tanking"

Mind sharing what that means? I assume others would be very interested as well and it might just be a huge sales pitch for your league.

Are the cubs still available?

It's a 62 win target - so let's say theoretically you have win totals of 55, 58, 62, 65, 67.

Among those teams, 62 drafts first, 65 drafts second (3 away), 58 drafts third (4 away), 67 drafts fourth (5 away), 55 drafts sixth (7 away)

So a straight up strip-down and tank to get to 50 wins normally guaranteeing the first pick isn't beneficial because you're going to be on the same level as a team at 74 wins by completely not competing. Thus, teams want to be somewhat competitive.
