Bump. One additional team now available: The LA Dodgers

Los Angeles Dodgers: The best way to describe the Dodgers is "Always a bridesmaid, never the bride." They have the third best record in eMLB's 14 year history (1238-868, for a .587 Win Pct), 1 Division Title, and 8 Wild Card appearances. They've been to the World Series twice, losing both to the Toronto Blue Jays.

This is a team dominated with pitching. Sporting one of the better rotations, despite an off year from Steve Foreman, the Dodgers are fairly well balanced for a team playing 81 games in a pitching dominant park.

The team balances young promise (Danny McGwire, Mark Teixeira, Allen Gamble) with some of eMLB's top veteran talent (Gary "Gar-J" Johnson, Josh Hamilton, Chris Louwsma, Joel Pineiro) to form a formidable opponent.

The biggest issue with the Dodgers is that their farm system is not what it used to be, so an owner could remain competitive with the current team now, but really needs to pay close attention to Free Agents and draftees. That, and they play in the NL West, where the San Francisco Giants have proven near unstoppable.

Same contact info as above.
