2016 Discussion Thread
« on: November 12, 2013, 06:48:38 am »
We are about to kick off our 4th season as a league. It'll be the final season played with 16 teams when the league expands to 20 teams in the upcoming offseason.

Will Texas be able to stay healthy and defend its crown? Will there be a 4th different Federation Cup champion? Will there be a new playoff team after the league seeing roughly same 6 teams in each postseason?

File/reports/Statslab are all updated until 3/5/2016. 1st Half of Spring Training will be tomorrow (11/13, Wed), 2nd Half of Spring Training on Friday (11/15), and then Opening Day 2016 will be Monday (11/18)

Remember that all expansion and relocation teams have to announce their teams' new info in a team press release by Monday!

Can Luis Bravo come out of Jail yet on early release? has to play with old team for one year cant be traded he wont have that long career but it would be nice if he got some career and that the team that drafted him gets to use him.
