We are ready for Season 5, but we need one more replacement manager.

In this keeper league, you get to carry over any three players on your roster. There is also a supplemental 1-round draft once everyone picks their keepers.

The team that is available has Fulton County Stadium--perfect for [i:dddcf225b4]your [/i:dddcf225b4]slugging team! They are also currently in the playoffs for Season 4.

Let me know by PM or post here if you want the last slot.

EDIT: The two available teams are now listed in the next post.
EDIT2: Post now reflects we are looking for one more manager.

This team has 3rd pick in the 1-round supplemental draft. They are eligible to change their stadium (must be unique), but they would drop to 12th pick if they do.

I'd be glad to pick up the Sharks team.

Are there any other unique rules to this league?

Excellent. The Sharks are yours.

There is another thread where you can post the three players you would like to keep for the coming season.

There is the 1-round supplemental draft and all stadiums are unique. Other than that, it's your typical $80 million, 5/10/20 70s league.

One last thing: Please don't rename your team the "Keepers"; we already have two teams with that name in the league.

Thank you for your interest.

We're ready to start the supplemental draft for Season 5 as soon as we get a replacement manager.

This team won't be for the feint of heart since you'll be playing in Fulton County Stadium. Perhaps you have what it takes to put together a band of sluggers to blast your way to the playoffs and beyond. Or perhaps you'll try a different, unorthodox strategy for such a park.

Your team awaits you...

I've never been in a keeper league but I will take on the Dancin Homers.
Let me know what I need to do...

Welcome to the league and thanks!

First step is to pick three players you wish to keep and post them in the thread on this 70s forum.

After you post your players, I will compile a list of all keepers. I'll let you know what happens next once I have the list ready.
