WHAT SUCKS (AND BLOWS)?
The vacuum in the clubhouse - It can both suck AND blow! Nothing but the best equipment here.
Notes: In order to make room for Kessinger, who has far superior defense than anyone on the roster, we had to send Josh Johnson down to the reserves. He'll probably be back before season's end, and if he isn't, who cares? He wasn't doing well to begin with! Anyway, we've managed to expand our gap despite a day which involved some head-scratching losses to, let's be honest, inferior competition. As a team we are no worse than 9th in almost every major team statistical category except for pitcher strikeouts (27th in that). We're showing you don't have to overwhelm people with heat to win. Finesse, balance, timely pitching, and a strong offense wins championships...and we've got all of it. As constructed, we should easily win 100 games and assure promotion even if there's a massive calamity in the playoffs.
Unrelated, I visited my second team and ended up pulling
Cool Papa Bell (82) Negro League Legend. Now I wouldn't be able to use the Negro League legends on here, but for sure if I pulled one on this account, that would bring in a lot of points to make some serious upgrading. Here's hoping the next few packs I open on this team do not result in even more eternal baseball disappointment.
