My GM'ing of 2 Indians theme teams in OOTP19 was downright dreadful. Knuckle-headed moves sandwiched in between questionable player acquisitions, flanked by poorly thought out long term plans. With all that said, I get a fresh start with the Terriers and 3000 points to play with. Sure it took awhile to get my 3000 points (started 0-5 with 3 straight off days) but I decided to open 3 card packs....
The rotation got a huge boost from 79 SP Ernie Broglio. He'll immediately become the staff ace. Other new rotation arms include 76 Britt Burns and 65 Clay Holmes. The bullpen finally got a left hander in 60 Ryan Yarbrough who will be a specialist and long relief.
The pack pulls also brought in two new catchers...77 Francisco Cervelli and 65 Lance Parrish. 68 Ehire Adrianza will start at SS pushing Peanuts Lowrey into a backup role.
The bench also received a new backup infielder in 66 Tom Herr.
Players sent to the reserve roster:
SP Anthony Desclafani
SP Dylan Bundy
SP Schoolboy Rowe
RP John Curtiss
C Rick Dempsey
C Martin Maldonado
3b Taylor Ward
SS Alen Hanson
I'm quite pleased with the first round of player acquisitions during spring training. The Hiram College Terriers look like a solid iron/bronze squad. So here's to hoping spring training goes well.
And just an FYI to all the opposing teams coming into the Dog Park......
those aren't piles of mud in the outfield
