Fielders

Catcher
Harold Fox, 37, .288-6-65 last year. Ended the year on the DL with a broken hand and is nearing the end of the line. Hopefully he has 1 more year in him because there is NOTHING else in the organization to help him.

Jason Sin, 28 has held the backup job the last 3 years but isn't much of a hitter. 199, 233, 196 are his last 3 years averages.
Mark Olivier and William Jackson are both 1 star players as well who can't seem to 'hit em where they ain't'. I'll probably jump on the first decent catcher on the waiver wire if I can afford to.

First Base
Joshua 'Trap Door' Scurry, 39, 331-39-105. He was just resigned to a 1 year deal so it seems he will give it a go one last time. An 8 time all-star and a 9 time Outstanding Batter winner. He is a legend # 1 all time in HR (671), # 5 with a .320 average. #6 with 1633 RBI.

Billy Sprouse, 31, .315-0-22. A decent hitter usually flirting with .300. Started for a couple of years before he got picked up off of waivers by Detroit. Seems like a really good defensive player no errors last year and only 2 the year before.

Mark Hall is a 30 year old option sitting in AAA. Also in the minors is the #2 prospect on the team and League in 21 year old Timothy Crepeau. He had .285-14-57 in AA this past year. Most likely will start there for one more year. I have 2 more 21y/o and a 25 year old in the minors. None seem to be of any major talent, 2 1 star prospects and 1 2 star.

Second Base
I have 15 people who can play second in the organization. The incumbent who has a lock on the job is....
Leslie Aaron, 29, .312-24-98. A gold glove winner this past year. He is signed through '35 and is one of the better players on the team. Cornerstone of the team for the future.

Joseph Paige, 30, .163-2-13, can play 2B and CF. Started 3 years ago and had a decent year (.264-12-73) so hopefully he can regain that form.

Bernard Blanc is a 30 y/o career minor leaguer and the last 5 years between AA and AAA he has had 5 straight years of 23 or more HRs. He does not strike out too often for that pop (about 70 times a year) and can play RF as well. I might see if there is a spot for him to try and get some time with the parent club. Other than this guy there is not too much in the way of primary 2B in the minors. James Cabello is a 20 year old who is currently at AAA but probably needs to be at AA next year.

Third Base
Johnson O'Brien, 32, .293-9-51. Not worth the 9 million a year I am paying him, so I might try to unload him if there seems to be a viable replacement plan or if the season starts to go south.

Bill Daggett, 34, .200-1-6, a decent backup option. A great glove but little else.

William Drysdale, 26, .306-13.68 in AA last year. Can play 1B, 2B and 3B. Will be at AAA this year.

Shortstop
Kenton 'The Ghoul' Smith, 23, .286-10-45. Gold Glove winner this year. Kenton was the #1 pick in the 1928 draft. He seems to be another person to build this team around. This will be his third year as the starter and he seems to have a long and great career ahead of him.

Dennis Jackman, 27, .217-0-4. A backup and most likely will not be on the team next year in this role, might keep him at AAA for insurance but we will see.

Lucius Ranney, 23, is a decent option in the minors to keep an eye on. Again with The Ghoul patrolling the Roughneck field already we don't need a major contributor just someone to take a few innings when Kenton needs a break.

Outfield
Michael Price, 34, .294-35-121. Newcomer of the year 1921. 2 gold gloves in LF and a 6 time all-star. He seems to be a lock for LF for as long as I have him.

David 'No Neck' Tuma, 38, .284-4-67. No Neck is getting on in years and I am not sure if he will be around or retired next year. If he is back, he will be a starter, hopefully in right, but it might have to be center. He can play all three spots still, but is probably better suited for a corner spot.

Archie Chapman, 32, .250-9-55. This is the infamous man that was traded for the stud youngster pitcher Brady Beckles this year. He currently looks like the lock for RF. He also can play all three spots, so I might look at the benefit of moving him to center if it would be better for No Neck.

Jeffrey Knight, 27, .270-2-13. Jeffrey can play Left and Center and had 130 at bats this year. This is the highest of the non-starters. Only 166 career ABs so we will see if he sticks around this year.

Robert Daughtrey, 22, is a 2.5 star prospect in A ball right now. He and James Murray a 23 year old who will be at AA next year seems to be the only marginal candidates in the minors right now. Everyone else is 1 star gold or blue.
