[Admin Note: Brock instructed me to post these threads here, and he will move them at a later date.]

Hello everyone, and Welcome to the Home Run Derby!
This is the kick off thread for the 2025 HR Derby!

This year, thanks to Brock, we are opening this game up to members of North Side Baseball, Brewer Fanatic and Twins Daily. (Previously this was only played at NSBB.)

Here is the link to our Wiki page for this game, and it has all the info you need to select your 2025 HR Derby team!

Please be sure to use that Wiki for your player info, rules, and details.
Be sure to come back here, to post your team entry to this thread.

As a reminder, please send your three (3) bench players to me in a PM.

If you have any questions - please ask in the Discussions thread.

Please see the image for an example on how to post your team; making sure to include all the pertinent information.

Yep, made a last minute change and didn’t account right for it

Southpaw, I have a clarification question.  We also choose 3 bench players and DM those to you.  But don't we need to account for those players' salaries on the team total $1000 threshold as well?

Nope.

If you notice, bench players have no monetary value. They are free. 
If it helps, they used to be named "wild card" players in years past.
