Good league with balance. Have been in the league for over 10 years - it is the best league I have played in.

Dump trades are limited with salary cap; league pays to 5 spots out of 12; so almost all owners have a shot at money.
Drafts in Vegas, so good time to vacation.

New owner will be able to pick keepers from existing team and/or choose from players not kept

Available team players include Freese @ $5.5; JA Happ $1, Aroldis Chapman $5; Zambrano $8; Josh Vitters on Farm

Most owners are from CA

This league has been around for over 15 years and we do a live auction every year in Las Vegas. We are looking for a new owner that wants to play in a great league - with a great group - for a long time.

The league specifics are:

• Auction Draft is 4/2/11 in Las Vegas
• 11 teams currently, aiming for 12
• NL Only
• $260 budget for 23 players
• 50 cent minimum bids!
• Keep 0-10 players each year
• Long-term contracts or option after 2 years on team (O year, L2, L3, etc.)
• 4 players in farm system.
• Farm players on ML rosters don't count against 10 keeper max
• FAAB budget of $100
• $310 active roster salary cap before September expansion
• Rotoworld web site for stats

The current teams are discarding some great players due to the 10-Keeper max, so the new owner will be able to field a good team through an expansion draft before the season. (Take 0-10 "unkept" players to start).

This is a very competitive league! So we are looking for smart owners.

But it can be cracked; the last owner joined 2 seasons ago. He finished in the bottom half in 2009 but built a strong team, finished 2nd in 2010, and will be playing for all the marbles this year.

So a savvy owner can build a team quickly, and we are offering a discount for Year 1 of play.

Interested owners please contact dbertozzi@roadrunner.com (Allow 2-3 days for a response.) I will be glad to answer any questions you have.

We will take the first _committed_ owner.
