Imperialism32 = Emperry Alizm, RP, Concord
Drafted in the 1st-round of the 2297 Rookie Draft by Vault 81, Alizm was traded to Concord where they promoted him and moved him to the bullpen rather than the starting rotation. It is not sure why the Radstags promoted him because he was still developing and needed more time in the BMU. Unfortunately, in 19 relief appearances with the Stags, he compiled a 1-3 record with one save and an 8.44 ERA.
Bub13 = Bubb Islander, 2B, Lexington
A 7th-round pick by Vault 81 in the 2296 Inaugural Draft, Islander has been a staple of consistency in his CBO career, most notably as a base stealer. He is the CBO's all-time leader with 116, including 79 since the merger. The Dwellers traded him for prospects to make room for their emerging young player, Harry Byrd, a former 1st-round pick by the Oberland T-51s in the 2297 Rookie Draft. Islander also has a .342 career batting average, something Vault 81 will miss in the playoffs.
tenthreeleader = Tenthree Leader
Drafted as a two-way player in the 2296 rookie draft by Quincy (#15 overall), Leader was seldom used as a pitcher after his rookie season and got converted to a catcher full time this season with Oberland. The T-51s received Leader in a trade with Abernathy in a large flip of players and prospects. In his first full season as a regular starter (103 of Oberland's 108 games), Leader was not exactly setting the world on fire with a .220 average, 4 home runs, and 32 RBI. He is considered a good defensive catcher, and he can be a star if his bat ever catches up to his defense.
DD Martin = Deedee Martinson, SP, Cabot House (Atom)
A second-round pick by the Atom Cats in the 2298 Rookie Draft (#26 overall), Martinson burst onto the BMU scene, starting 17 of his 19 appearances for the Cabot House Rayguns. He is 11-4 with a 2.71 ERA, tied for the BMU lead in wins, with one more chance to pitch tomorrow.
jaa36 = Jaa Thirtysix, SP, Union Hope (Lexington)
A third-round pick by Lexington (#57 overall) in the 2298 Rookie Draft, Thirtysix struggled with the worst team in baseball. He went 0-11 with a 9.94 ERA, so he could not totally blame his losses on his teammates. A talented pitcher, he needs his potential and current production to catch up, which a more stringent offseason program should be able to provide. With Nate Howard's declaration that Lexington needs more talent on the squad, it should help Thirtysix in the 2300 campaign.
