After last seasons impressive regular season the PnBs made several off season acquisitions that should without a doubt guarantee them their 1st world series title. Not really. As a matter of fact they made some really dumb moves like signing Homer Lieberthal as a backup catcher.
Lineup:
C - Max Lima - Impressive power but struggles against RHP.
1B - Zoltan Mercedes - Arguably one of the best 1B in the league.
2B - Raymond Neal - Other than his 2 trips to the DL last season he had pretty solid season. He will probably spend some time at CF too.
3B - Slash Kroeger - Had the best season of his career last season.
SS - Vernon Rooney - Last season he really struggled at times. Impressive in the playoffs though.
LF - Junior Bocachica - Absolutely crushed the ball over the 1st part of last season only to disappear over the 2nd half. Cant complain too much though about a player who hit 50 HRs.
CF - Rich Munoz - I took Northerns advice and signed Munoz. Hopefully he can help the PnBs who struggled last season against RHP.
RF - David Guardado - Came back nicely last season after a pathetic season 9.
Bench:
Pedro Fernandez - Should see some time at CF and 2B. Most importantly though this is his last season under contract.
David Colin - Same as Pedro except his contract doesnt run out until season 13.
Jimmie Pascual - Recent addition. Not sure how he will fit in. May end up starting at 3B.
Homer Lieberthal - Backup catcher who cant play catcher. Should see some time at 1B and LF.
Starting Pitchers:
Bubba Rose - Quite possibly my favorite fake player. Not necessarily a great pitcher, but very good.
Britt Swindell - Didn't bring me that WS ring like I was hoping. Still one of the leagues best starting pitchers.
Russell Spence - His durability absolutely sucks, but a very good pitcher.
Michael Ming - He miraculously managed to keep his era below 5 last season.
Gary Wyatt - Eats up a lot of innings.
Bullpen:
LRA - Max White - The typically reliable White was horrible last season. Dont trust people with the last name of White.
LRA - Groucho Rogers - He was stinking it up in a setup role last season, so he was moved to LR. Doesnt really have the stamina, but the change seemed to work.
LRB - Archie Obermueller - With a health rating of 33 it is only a matter of time before he dies.
Setup A - Dan Stearns - Could probably close for 90% of the teams in the league. This season he will shift between setup and closer.
Setup A - Willard Farley - Eats up a lot of innings out of the pen. A relaible but unspectacular reliever.
Setup B - Heath O'Brien - Absolutely horrible last season.
Closer - Rick Dickson - After shifting to the closer role halfway through the season he was a perfect 14 for 14 in save opportunities. His durability limits him though.
