Now Hiring: Chicago Cubs and Chicago White Sox

[CLegend33KP]

The Chicago Cubs and Chicago White Sox of the Gopher Ball Dynasty Lague are currently hiring for the position of General Manager. Sign up today and begin managing your team today.

Gopher Ball is a free 30-team dynasty league that scores standard 6x6 roto-style. Salary caps. Both restricted and unrestriced free agency, along with franchise tags. To claim your team today and begin running the day-to-day operations of the franchise, sign up for http://www.Gopherball.proboards.com and go to the team page of the team you want to run and post your 2012 roster. The 2011 roster is currently showing for your team, so you need to transform it over to 2012. Most of what you need to know is in the rules. I'll be there to help as will several other GMs.

While only two teams are listed above, other teams are also hiring, including Philadelphia Phillies, Baltimore Orioles, St. Louis Cardinals and Atlanta Braves. Sign up for any of these teams at the link above. While the league is free, there is a 1/30th share of th CBS site fee of $5 once per year. It is not due now, but will become due in early February.

Gopher Ball has been around for many years and has several GMs who have been in the league for six, seven and even eight years. We are entering year four of dynasty format after more than a decade as a head-to-head fantasy league.

Here is one of the rosters that is Now Hiring. Come on over to www.GopherBall.proboards.com to claim this team. The below roster still shows 2011 contracts and is kinda a mess from the previous GM. I'll let the new GM fix it to his liking once he is signed up.

The new GM would be allowed to cut any bad contracts they did not want to keep. Also, the team can add as many CWS amatuer draftees that they want from the 2011 draft.
