(NL) 4x4 Auction keeper league needs 1 (Solid 20+ Years)

[bfdbuck]

Our established NL-Only 4x4 Roto keeper league has an opening for one active owner. Very low turnover in this league, which has been in existence for over twenty years. I have participated since '91 and have been Commissioner since 2000. The live auction is fun, and the league is very active with trades, pickups and waiver claims. Parity definitely exists as we have had eight different teams in the money the last two years.

The open team has a few solid keepers, plus the number one Incoming waiver pick and the second Minor League System pick. A great team to build with.

Details:

Entry fee: $200 per team (pay 1st thru 4th, 1st place ~ $1250)
Teams: 12
Roster: 14 hitters, 9 Pitchers
Salary Cap: $26.00
Contracts: A, B, Option Year, Long-Term Contracts
Categories: HR, RBI, SB, BA & W, SV, ERA, WHIP

Due to multiple requests here is the current roster (last year's salary status since we haven't sent in protected rosters yet):

C Flores, Jesus (C) O WAS A 0.1 B
C Paulino, Ronny (C) FLA A 0.3 A
2B Uggla, Dan (2B, MI) FLA A 2.6 A
SS Escobar, Yunel (SS, MI) ATL A 1.7 B
CR Blake, Casey (3B, CR) DTD LAD A 1 A
OF Schumaker, Skip (2B, OF, MI) STL A 1 B
OF Diaz, Matt (OF) ATL A 0.1 A
OF Moss, Brandon (OF) PIT A 0.8 A
OF Soriano, Alfonso (OF) CHN A 3.8 A
OF Werth, Jayson (OF) PHI A 0.1 B
UT Sanchez, Gaby (1B) FLA A 0.5 A
P Duke, Zach (P) PIT A 0.2 A
P Hamels, Cole (P) PHI A 2.9 A
P Jimenez, Ubaldo (P) COL A 0.7 B
P Jurrjens, Jair (P) DTD ATL A 0.1 B
P Maine, John (P) NYM A 1.1 A
P Rodriguez, Francisco (P) NYM A 4 A
P Santana, Johan (P) NYM A 4.3 B
P Wade, Cory (P) O M LAD I 0.1 A
P Zimmermann, Jordan (P) 60-DL WAS A 1 A

A quick note, the salary cap is $26.00, so a player that is .10 is like a $1 player in the magazines. My observations: a few very good deals, some solid keepers, and a few reaches. If this were my team I would be keeping nine players - not a bad start.

bump - still need one owner

[bfdbuck]

Our league is complete now, thanks for all interested. If you contacted me, or even if you didn't, and you are still interested in doing this league, one of the owners has indicated this will be his last year. So there will be an opening next year. Let me know now if interested, since you may be able to confer with him regarding the auction, trades and roster makeup, etc... No money obligation this year.

Thanks for looking.
