The rosters are based on real MLB rosters ( starting in the minor leagues, if your MLB affiliate drafts someone, you have that players rights) so ALL minor leaguers are in play and get traded frequently. Some of the details:
30 teams
Roto scoring
League is run through Proboards & CBS
Arbitration system for contracts ( players are owned for the first 6 years of MLB career)
Free agency after 6 ( The league has been around for 10 years, so there are good free agents available every year)
Cash prizes for playoff teams ( not a lot of $$, but considering it is a completely free league still pretty cool that our Admin puts it up)
Available teams are : Twins, Indians, White Sox, Phillies, Cubs & Astros
If you are interested come take a look around and fill out an application here:

The league rules can be a little bit hard to understand by reading them, but I promise they are not hard to get. If you have any questions about them feel free to email me at ahmason@lycos.com

any chance the Mets are still open?if not I would like a shot with the cubs

[ahmason]

The Cubs were taken yesterday..... The Mets I believe are currently open, but I think the Admin has someone lined up for them. Feel free to apply and ask for the Mets if you want, there is a pretty decent chance you'd get them.

Admission into the league requires filling out a short application on the proboards site and posting a picture or a link to a Facebook account or something similar. (this is to prevent people from owning multiple teams). Once the application is finished our Admin will set you up with your choice of available teams (usually takes a day or two). We are heading into our 10th year and are only looking for dedicated owners who are comfortable playing with deep rosters.
