PASBA, an established 30 team keeper league is looking for a few good managers. The league uses weekly Computer Managers and playing deadlines to keep the season on track. Get in now before the annual spring draft in which non-rostered players with at least one plate appearance or 1/3 inning pitched are available. Each team has a 35 man roster with 110% usage and have a unique Use Him or Lose Him rule where all players are required to use at least 70% of their available adjusted limits or be released back into the drafting pool the following season. The league allows free agent signings for the season to get through the leanest of positions, but are released at the end of the season back into the draft pool. We will be conducting a dispersal draft with the available teams prior to the annual draft that we anticipate to begin around March 1.
