Between having recently joined the ranks of the employed, on top of taking classes at night, I barely have time to eat, let alone keep up a thread about a team that isn't the Red Sox. As such, I am bequeathing my sadly neglected Baltimore Orioles to anyone who wants them. I'll try to drop in now and again, just so they know it wasn't them, it was me

You can take over the Orioles from Mr Jums if you'd like. If you want a different team, the easiest way to find one is to check the thread below and see who isn't taken. Thanks for volunteering.



Any other teams available? Tried looking below, but I'm not completely sure whats taken from last year.

If there is a current off-season thread on a team it is taken. All the threads from last season are locked. it looks like there are 3 teams left including the Orioles. You might want to double check that. And feel free to post information on any team.

Orioles
A's
Reds

I'll take the White Sox... they have a surprisingly talented team, and it will be interesting to know how they fuck this season up.

EDIT: Under further investigation, I have concluded this team actually may suck. The thread is up.

There's no season thread for my beloved Arizona Diamondbacks. If no one is handling it, I start one up.

I've been more or less maintaining the Dodgers thread for a while now, so I suppose I'll make that official. Do I need to take an oath or something? :buddy:

It looks like there was a recent contribution to the Twins thread (besides mine), so I assume that's spoken for as far as being headed. I could consider myself a sort of unpopular substitute teacher and add what I know from my unnamed sources at Target Field (re: my brother who has nothing to do with the Twins but lives near Target Field and sometimes sees Sid Hartman).

Is there an updated version of any team threads that need someone at the wheel?

Greetings!

I have not seen much, if any, activity on the Indians thread. If possible, I would like to adopt the Tribe this season. I live in Cleveland so finding coverage of the team will not be difficult for me.

I'll start a Royals one now, they are going to be extremely interesting as the season progresses.

I'm assuming that it's okay to just go ahead and start a thread for the 2013 Astros season, but seeing as how I've only recently been made a member, I felt like I should ask.
 
So...  Yes?

Are the Astros available? I love horrible teams with absolutely no payroll, no players and awesome throwback jerseys with M.Scott on them. They'll be a force in less than 5yrs...book it Dano

Howdy folks. The Adopt A Team forum started out like gangbusters and then seemed to fall by the wayside. We used to use it as a way to see if Lurkers knew what they were talking about in regards to baseball and subsequently, many were made full members because of their participation. They were also used for scouting reports on the upcoming series for the Sox. We don't need to do that anymore, but it is still a very good way to get noticed.
 
We'd like to revive the AAT forum. We currently have five active teams and we are looking for people who would like to adopt the rest of the teams. This can be a solo effort, but it also works very well when there are more than one poster keeping up with a team. The teams that are currently taken are:
 
Rays
LAD
Tigers
NatsTown!
Padres
Cubs
Fish
Mets
Indians
Mariners
Angels
 
Post in here if you'd like to adopt a team and which team you'd like to adopt. If someone else has already adopted a team, please PM them to see if it would be alright with them for you to also adopt that team.
 
Thanks

Miami (oh, Miami!)
I'll start a Marlins thread (since I'm in Miami) but will gladly welcome any and all posters to the thread.   I can't promise any real updates, but will try.

I'd be happy to take the Cleveland Indians.  Live in Boston now but they're my hometown team & I'm already reading their media frequently.  I might only manage a post or two a week though, so would welcome co-contributors.
