Munson World has just finished its latest World Series and has rolled into its new season. We are an established world with a mix of long time veterans and newer owners. We have recently re-written our by-laws to better reflect the wants of the current owners. We have also had discussion about whether adopt the universal DH. Since we were fairly split, we have decided to keep the DH in the AL, while using traditional rules in the NL. We have 4 3 2 1 opening for the next season. See the team profiles below and message me to get the password and start playing. Join us and start immediately!

AMERICAN LEAGUE OPTIONS FOR MUNSON SEASON 68:

**TAKEN**

AL North Franchise (formerly Tacoma): Tacoma had a fairly long time owner who has been in the playoff mix recently. However, due to lack of time, the owner gave up the franchise and it sunk to a 68-94 record this season and last in the division. They were 10^th in runs scored and 15^th in batting average. They were also last in both fielding percentage and team ERA. However, there is talent there. They are only 2 seasons removed from 97 win campaign. They have only 4 players under contract for the upcoming season at a mere 22.5 million dollars. And a whopping 13 players headed to arbitration hearings. In addition, they will add the #10 draft pick to their minor league system.

**TAKEN**

AL South Franchise (formerly Atlanta): Atlanta has been middle of the pack recently, hovering around .500 in past seasons. However, this season, they slumped to 66-96 and finished 3^rd in the division. They were 14^th in the league in batting average, but did manage to turn that into 9^th in runs scored. Their pitching and defense did not help things, as they were ranked 13^th in both categories. They do have a core of 8 players signed to contracts worth 52 million for next season. And another 12 players going to arbitration. So, the opportunity to mold the team is there. They will receive the #8 pick in the amateur draft.

NL South Franchise (formerly Durham): Durham has lost 100 games or more for the past 4 seasons and was subject to our minimum wins rule this season.

They were 13^th in runs scored, but finished last in batting average, pitching ERA and fielding percentage. They currently have 10 players signed for 63 million dollars next season and 8 more heading to arbitration. They will also have the TOP pick (#1) in the draft next season.

They have gone from a .500 team just 4 seasons ago to a 90-100 loss team recently. They could use a good rebuild. They finished 15^th in runs scored and team pitching ERA. They were also 14^th in batting average and 13^th in fielding percentage. They have 7 players signed for a modest 38 million dollars and then 11 more players who are arbitration eligible.
