This will be simple. Choose a player who played for at least 4 teams during his career (and has at least one WIS eligible season with at least 4 teams), has at least 12 WIS eligible seasons, and made 2 or fewer All-Star teams, and never won an MVP or CY award, nor is a serious candidate for the Hall of Fame. We will begin in season 1 for each of these players, in other words, each player's rookie season. You will use the given season for your chosen player (if the rookie year is 1977, you will use his '77 season), and you can twist any of his teammates from that season. We will go through each journeyman players' career, one season at a time, until we have completed at minimum 12 seasons.
100 M Payroll, No WW, No AAA, No Trades, No Injuries, Yes to DH (only because many of these players will have played with some of the great DH's of the last 30 years). Use the home stadium of your chosen Journeyman from that season. (77 Orioles would use Memorial Stadium).
Once the 12th season is complete, if any of the chosen players have completed their career, we can take a vote to see if we want to continue going with the league and use alternate players, or end the league there.
Please ask any questions and make sure to sign up below with your chosen player. First come, first served. I will choose sometime after the 7th owner signs up.
