PEBA's first season has wrapped up and I'd like to thank all our owners for making it a ton of fun! As we begin our first full off-season, we have a a new ownership position available. It just happens to be PEBA's lone franchise based outside the US! Here's the scoop:

London Underground

74-88, 3rd place in Pan-Atlantic Division

Life isn't easy in the Pan-Atlantic with the New Jersey Hitmen bullying everyone around. Still, the Underground managed to hold their own and turn in a respectable season. If you take away their hideous 6-18 start to the season, the Underground were pretty much a .500 ball club.

The team struggled offensively, ranking 10 our of 12 in AVG, OBP and OPS for all Imperial League teams. Despite playing in a park that suppresses power, London hitters showed nice pop (6th in HRs and SLG%, 3rd in XBH). 28 year-old 3B Dominic Gagné is the team's top slugger. Acquired at the trade deadline, he was one of PEBA's best hitters in the 2nd half of the season.

London's pitching was around league average, with the team finishing 9th or 8th in most categories. 24 year-old SP Anastasio Molina, who arrived in the same trade as Gagné, provides the most hope for the pitching staff.

Speaking of hope, the Underground have the #4 ranked farm system out of PEBA's 24 teams. The group is paced by CF Orlando Germán, the #2 prospect in the entire league. The youngster was having a fine season at just 21 years of age before suffering a season-ending injury in August.

Financially, London is in great shape despite playing in a small market. There's plenty of cash on hand to make a splash in free agency, and the team is projected to turn a profit next year as well. Between the solid financial footing and the strong farm system, London is poised to make a move in their division.

Interested owners should contact me through our website

As always, I'd like to emphasize what PEBA is looking for in a new owner. We've been fortunate to collect a good group of guys who are competitive yet social, and we'd expect the same from a newcomer. We particularly value the kind of owner who enjoys posting in our forum and sharing original articles with the rest of the league. There is a certain time commitment level and we do expect incoming owners to own OOTP 2007/8.

We'd love to hear from you! To apply for the London ownership position, fill out the form on our website. If you'd like more info about the Underground or PEBA in general, contact me and I'll provide you with whatever you need.
