We don't mind folks doing as many as there are openings for. And I know that is what you're getting at.

Post your first one first. ;)

And we'll measure the tempo of further responses and set time a bit later in the week to throw open the doors.

Meanwhile, feel free to grab a division if you want. They don't have to be as detailed, per team.

I think our lack of veteran stars will do more for that than you could. I still feel pretty good with the big three (Stoller, Acheson, Rodas) in place. And I think you're all going to love Perry Eccles, too. :)

Well, shit...a Rectel Exam for my team. Typically life-saving, but painful just the same.

I'll take Valencia.

We've got some great previews already posted. (Looks like I need to do mine.)

Meanwhile, the +1 bonus for early posting has been extended to division and league previews, as well as team previews.

If you have already *actually posted a preview* and want to claim a second team (other than your own), go ahead and claim another team and write away.

But just one (other team) , at this point.

I'll take California for a second article.

Also, since noone has offered, I'll try to do a divisional preview for the Johnson Midwest.

Still 8 unclaimed teams!

It's time to claim another one or two teams, if you wish!

:popcorn:

There's also three divisions, and both leagues....

Guys, I gave it a little bit of time to see if anyone would take it, but I went ahead and wrote my own previews in my Team News section. I apologize if anyone was planning on taking the Bobwhites, but I had some spare time overnight at work, and, frankly, this method gives me 12 points instead of 5... ;)

Someone can still choose WAS. It's just, as always, a team cannot preview itself for a league feature.
