29-SEASON, MIXED LEAGUE HAS ADDED 1 EXPANSION OWNER - 2 SPOTS LEFT - STRAIGHT DRAFT, 5 KEEPERS, 6x5, $50 FIRST-YEAR DISCOUNT OFF $225 FEE!
LOU PINIELLA LEAGUE ENTERING ITS 30TH SEASON
-----> ONE NEW OWNER SIGNED-ON 12/28. Still looking to add one to two more owners who are up to the challenge.
-----> All-inclusive entry fee reduced for new owners for first year (only) to $ 175; current owners pay $ 225.
-----> We have fun here - WE WANT OWNERS WHO ARE PASSIONATE AND INVOLVED.
-----> Average payouts *: 1st - $ 1,250; 2nd - $ 500; 3rd - $ 250; 4th - $ 100. ( * based on 9 teams)
A number of teams have excess keeper-quality names that they'll have to deal or lose to FA pool for nothing.
Following ten-day offseason trade window for existing teams in early February, expansion teams will then have an opportunity to deal picks for quality players, during which "supplemental picks" will be rendered moot. Only difference between new teams and existing ones is that they will surrender five of first ten rounds picks for their keepers. After that, they will pick first in Rounds 11 through 23th and will have two picks in Rounds 19 through 23 upon assuming later round picks to balance-out deals for picks made to stock pre-Draft Day roster - thus, new teams' rosters will be competitive on Day # 1.
NOTE: Yes, the majority of other leagues who are seeking new owners are doing so by offering the takeover of abandoned rosters - some that are decent and some that aren't. If that's the way you wish to go, sure, by all means do it. However, if you're looking to BUILD a team with five keepers that YOU cherry-picked from good teams' rosters, then this is the place for you! The challenge might be stiffer compared to other leagues when it comes to getting off of the ground, but it will be all the more satisfying when you start climbing-up the standings ladder over time.
