After winning the World Series the Monks were rewarded by a Gold Glove by Pedro Torres at first base, and that was it. Maybe that will provide us with a little bit of motivation for our young team heading into the 2064 season.

I don't want to be overconfident heading into the season, but I feel good about the team, and don't think we have too many holes. Our owner would like us to upgrade the shortstop position. I don't think Baltesar Gonzalez had a terrible season though, hitting .227 with 19 home runs and 58 RBI with a WAR of 2.3. We don't have a great option internally that is close to being ready.

That led to a trade with the Red Sox, sending Gonzalez along with 3B Vincent Dauphin (.234 in 83 games) and 19 year old centerfielder Jarrod Woods, our second round pick last year to acquire 29 year old Paterno Lita.

We also added a little bit of depth with the signing of 30 year old Doug Raymond to a one year $1.4 million contract. Raymond is looking to return from an injury plagued season with a one year contract to prove his worth.

Lita and Raymond are just about complete opposites. Lita hit .318 last year with a career high 9 home runs and 75 RBI, while Raymond hit .212 with 26 homers and 67 RBI. Lita is fast, Raymond is not. Lita is the likely starter, although there is room on the team for both.
