The league moved swimmingly through expansion and the 1994 season but we do have a few available teams as we get into the 1994-1995 off-season.
The teams are:
Florida (65-97 in 1994) -- First year was the typical expansion year. They did sign all-world Barry Bonds to a long-term contract, but even with Bonds their offense was pathetic. The top of their rotation is a good bottom of a normal rotation but they need some top-end talent to suplement thekids like Cory Lidle and Lee Hancock. Farm system: #10 (including Dave Roberts, Javy Vazquez)
Milwaukee (59 103 in 1994) -- A rebuilding team with a terrible offense and worse starting pitching, although their bullpen with Mark Davis, Dennis Cook, Joe Klink and Mitch Williams is good. They have a couple of trading chits (SP Scott Garrelts, Wild Thing Williams). They have some bit of young talent on the MLB roster (Jose Macias, Javy Lopez). Gets #1 pick in the 1995 draft. Terrible farm system.
Minnesota (68-94 in 1994) -- Below average offense despite excellent platoon hitters in Tommy Gregg and Troy O'Leary and a still contributing Kent Hrbek. Below average pitching staff but very good at the top of the rotation with Greg Maddux and Bret Saberhagen. Solid bullpen. Gets #6 pick in the 1994 draft. Farm system: #26 (including RF, Jermaine Dye, 3B Russell Branyan, CF Preston Wilson, and SP John Thomson.
