1995-96 Offseason News and Notes

Bob Horner retires a champion. Sitting on the bench all year was tough to take for the guy whose started 2322 games during his 17 year career. Horner hit well in the regular season when given the chance, but his playoff performance was discouraging. Despite winning the World Series, Horner started 5 games, and played in 11, hitting just .091, without a home run. A sure fire Hall of Famer, at least Horner went home, and went out on top! He finishes with 570 home runs.

Bob Horner

Roy Halladay is the clear cut number 1 pick in the draft. I think there is an ocean of difference between #1 and #2. Great pick by the Mariners. They also pick up Kerry Wood in the 2^nd round. He’s a boom or bust type arm. No clue how that is gonna turn out. Names of interest to this Blue Jays fan, RA Dickey to the Expos and AJ Burnett to the Mets.

I’ve decided there will be no Hall of Fame inductions this year. 4 players were recommended for induction, but I think each player falls a tad short of what it takes to make it. There still a chance ill change my mind in the future, but for the moment, no inductions for the first time in a long time.

Mariano Rivera is a free agent again after signing a 1 year deal with the Tigers. He was very good, and will be a prize this offseason. The top target is Pedro Martinez, who, at 24, is asking initially for almost 11 million a year.

The Braves are buying the best player available. I see them challenging the Cubs. I love the Pirates picking up batting champion Quintana on the cheap. He was overlooked.

Here are the offseason trades. Alot of them this year!

Here's a look at each teams World Series drought. We are 95 seasons into this replay. There is one team who has yet to win a world series, that's been around since the beginning. For those who have been following, any guess before looking?!

Here is OOTP Meet the team feature on the NL Central

Well this is a first. I don’t have any logo or uniform changes to make. No 1996 files, so everything remains the same. Boring offseason!!
