Starting the Offseason with a bang

After yet another dismal year (no, wait... it was a rebuilding year, we were supposed to suck!), the Crawdads entered Free Agency with a ton of money to spend and several needs. Basically, anything would be an improvement.

With that said, the Crawdads have announced that CF Mike Clarke, the prize free agent this offseason, has been signed to a 4 year contract paying just over 18 million dollars annually.
Clarke, the 28 year old lefty affectionately nicknamed "OBP Jesus" due to his .407 career OBP, is expected to be a big contributor to the New Orleans offense and, combined with Tipper Kengos and Jason Stucky gives the 'Dads one of the top 4 outfields in the FLM.

The nucleus of the team is young and should be around for quite some time, with Clarke (28), Kengos (20), Stucky (27), Willie Williams (26), and a young pitching staff anchored by Charlie Lindquist and Nate Minchey. People around the New Orleans front office are cautiously optimistic.
