The Multiple Spouses are once again pretty strong on offense with a good mix of average, speed and power, but pitching will make or break their season. If the staff can manage to cut the team ERA by .50 or more we should contend for the playoffs.
C
Starter - Don Lee - dependable, decent pitch calling. Will hit for average with some pop
New Spouse Danny Kinney should get about 150 ABs as lee's backup
1B
John Prinz - shown improvement every season in the majors. The Spouse are looking for a .300+ average with 18 - 20 HRs
2B
Yamid Maranon - Maranon quietly keeps putiing up a close to .300 average with a little pop. He'll steal 20 or so bases a year in addition to his excellent deefense
3B
Fred Wilson - Wilson came off the bench when last year's starter got hurt and won himself a job with 48 HRs and a .284 BA
Hayes Casarone - last year's starter can hit and play a steller 3B, but has had injury problems the last two seasons. (83 games total)
SS
Juan Bararas - acquired last season in a trade with Cinncinnati, Bararas has the starter's job because of his defense...any offense is an added bonus. The same applies to his backup, Alex Linton
LF
Marshall Hunter - Hunter ended season 8 in High A. Last season he started off in AAA, where he hit .424 in 132 ABs. He was then called up to the show. All he did there was contend for ROY and steal 94 bases. He looks to improve this season in every facet of his game. Look for over 100 stolen bases.
CF
Jeff Brooks = while hitting 45 HRs and driving in 118 while winning your second straight gold glove, can't really be considered a bad year, it was very dissapointing for Brooks after his MVP season. Brooks is determined to bounce back to match or better his MVP numbers.
RF
Zephyr Roosevelt
As long as Zephyr can ht .300 + with 20+ HRs he'll be in RF for the Multiple Spouses.
Starting Pitching
AJ Davis, RJ Molina, Samuel Martin, Vic Rogers and Clay Griffith are all dependable pitchers who will kepp the team in most games. Unfortunately there is no one you would consider a stopper in the bunch
Bullpen
Brian Baker, Rob Cambridge, Pascual Concepcion, Justin Sadler, Victor Blanco, Gary West, Rigo Pineiro and Earl Miller.
They're dependable, but no one will wow you. The MS are hoping that Miller's excellent sring might finaly mean he's reaching his potential
Projected finish 87 - 75
