2008 Baton Rouge Aces

[lilbman07]

This will be my dynasty of the Baton Rouge Aces which is where the Tampa Bay Rays moved from in 2008. I got the name Aces from the many casinos in the Baton Rouge area.

Ground rules are
-only a max of 3 trades during the season and offseason
-only a max of 5 free agents per offseason
- a max of 3 free agents during the season
- I must not go past 10M over my budget.

I will be using Koolzach's up to date rosters

Rosters will be posted shortly
