Dirt Bag's Preview

So, I am new to this league...looks like really competitive league. I feel like the Dirt Bags are going to be surprisingly competitive this season. I have a nice young base of position players and look very good for building towards the future...meet this years Dirt Bags.

Catchers:
Luis Maduro, 23, joins the big club and is ready to rake in the big leagues. He's supported by wily veteran Richard Mitchell in a potent two catcher system.

1st Base:
David Baek was my big free-agent signing. He is going to be an important glue player with all my young guns. Joe Bolton, 25, also got a call up, and will get his shot at 1st and DH.

2nd Base:
Theo Herges is holding down this position...thats about it.

3rd Base:
Another youngin, Louie Mays, 24, will anchor the hot corner all year, with big hopes.

Short Stop:
Veteran James Kim joins Rule 5er Charlie Moeller in a nice little duo at Short.

LF:
Another duo both young, Sammy Sosa (23) and Trevor Stevenson are ready for ML action. I am willing to trade away one of these young guns if the right offer (pitchers) comes my way.

CF:
This is where we meet a new star in the making. Lee Coleman, 21, absolutely destroyed the minor leagues and is ready to take over. He is backed up by Mariano Costilla.

RF:
Miguel Estalella, 25, gets his shot a starting for the big club all year.

Pitching:
This will be the undoing of this great young team. Free Agent signing R.J. Nunez was brought in as a stop gap to help out with pitching. The starting rotation/long relief is a mixture of mediocre ML journeymen, older players, and a couple younger players (with two Rule 5ers). I lack real substantive relief pitching as well...this could be an interesting year for the Dirt Bag pitching staff.


Well that's the Dirt Bags preview...good luck y'all.
