Annandale did what it's always done - spend it's PP as quickly as they come in. For some reason that team is terrible at saving up.

Our outfield has been a defensive mess for a while - it seems we were acquiring players with little thought as to where they'd have to play play. As a result I ended up with three corner outfielders and nobody really qualified to play CF. Those days are over, though, as we blew our accumulated PP on the 84OVR Kaline. This has moved our current CF, Barry Bonds, to the bench, at least temporarily. While Bonds came with high recommendations, his low contact ratings have caused his performance to be (relatively) underwhelming. Rumor has it he'll be shipped out soon.

This move comes shortly after adding Elmer Riddle to the starting rotation. Riddle took the spot previously occupied by Catfish Hunter for the last 7 or 8 seasons. Also new this season are the infield duo of Roberto Alomar at 2B and Hanley Ramirez at SS. Those two have settled in and are hitting the ball with gusto!

Those moves have depleted Annandale's cash though, so don't expect more changes anytime soon.
