We've had a few people express interest in the position already, which is great to see. The contest remains open and will continue to be in effect for the next couple of weeks. I'm still soliciting entries. If you're a creative person looking for a sweet "in" with an established league, this is just your ticket!
The latest news out of
Aurora is the signing of superstar shortstop
Mark "Ice Cold" Richardson to a mega 6-year/$96M deal that will keep him in town through 2016. Richardson, the fifth overall player selected in the PEBA Inaugural Draft, is a 5-tool middle-of-the-diamond dynamo. He put up three sensational seasons with the
Florida Featherheads before succumbing to a fractured cheekbone at the end of the '09 campaign.
The injury clouded his long-term prospects enough that Florida became willing to deal him. In a risky move, Aurora shipped off speedster SS
Naoaki Kichida to Florida for the right to have Richardson collect $13M while sitting on the DL pretty much the entire year. Kichida went on to set the PEBA single season SB record (89). However, Richardson returned to health with seemingly no rust. He was brilliant in 21 regular and post-season games and now promises to be a fixture in the Borealis's lineup for years to come.
