Just 5 games into the new season at the Bronze Level the team was 5-0 and there was this:
Also in the News
Adalberto Mondesi was indeed acquired during the offseason for less than 2Kp. Adalberto is a versatile defender capable of playing effectively at all positions except pitcher or catcher. Blessed with decent power and a lot of speed, he can earn the “20/20 player” achievement given enough playing time. He will be given the green light to steal bases because of his proven ability to steal at better than an 80% success rate, which according to The Book is the break even point for stealing bases. He replaces
Peanuts Lowrey in the super utility backup role.
Also, acquired near the end of April was
Johnny Pesky. Another great defensive shortstop, like Cronin, with good contact, but little power, he can be cross-trained at all the infield positions. The deal was widely criticized for its extravagant cost. At 9Kp, it was not a bargain because there is little chance of making much of that up with achievements. The only thing he brings to the table is to make it more likely this team will win games and rise up the ladder faster than is wise for an F2P player. He replaces gold glove winner
Eddie Mayo.
