[The Game]

Giants have the highest payroll.
Scots have the lowest payroll.


Luis Toro, SS, WB has the highest AAV.


Delgado 2b Kool Kat is the #1 batting prospect.
Pontiac SP Honey is the #1 pitching prospect.

[The Game]

We are predicted to win 116 games. so it's not job to not suck then.


There is a lot to like about this team. We should hit a ton of homeruns and hit for high average and steal a ton of bases. Anna wont steal 184 but 100-120 is feasible. I do have a few concerns over the rotation and namely staying out of big innings and having to rely on the offense to mount a comeback. We were good at it last year but i don't want to make it our MO.


Rotation of
Hernandez
Lurte
Caruajal
Nesta
Medina


I think Jag Caruajal is our best SP. He could K over 200 in around 160 IP. i have Stupec, Diamond & Ramos all at AAA waiting for a chnace.


Our pen is deep. Toiguchi gives me the most dominant CL I have had since Pable Escalante in 2015,16.
Simmons & Club will start out at the SU.
Evans, Field & Novo are middle relief
Johnson as long man who could get into the rotation if there's an injury.




My lineup and depth chart is the same vs RHP & LHP to start the year. i would like Cain & Hoffman to both get 81 starts but within a few weeks, one will emerge as the main starter.
With Tugger & Russell not making the OD roster, we have less depth than i would like. If Harris & Welch struggle, i cant move players around as much even though both Joe & Arvid can play 8 positions.

[The Game]

To me, every team in the AL East improved.


Gotham City added pitching depth and better defense.
Willowbrook didnt change much but added epth to both their bench and bullpen.
Atlantis has severla young hitters can can hit 25 HR, so they have power for the 1st time in several years.
Pontiac, has good young SP but trading away Bostic Jr weakened their offense and Of defense.


April schedule
We open at home vs GC, so we will see how well we match up vs the, then we see SPF for 3, who should compete for the AL Central division title & WC. Onto ATS for 4to see how much better that lineup is.


Onto PAN, who has a good mix of SP and offense. Come home vs the new look CC, who are a .500 like team. 2 @ SKY, which will be our 2nd test after SPR of a great rotation. Fionish up with 4 @ WB, to dsee if we can beat them this season head-to-head.
22 games, hoping for 16-8.


No personnel changes from last year to this year.
We have a ton of depth at AAA and even AA. We have the #1 minor league for the 2nd consecutive season.

[The Game]

Arvid Sven'dsen, Tigger Johnson & Adam Hernandez are our 3 main FA after the season. I would like to bring Tigger back next season but as of right now we are too far apart in dealings. Arvid, could be back. Doubtful that Adam will be back.


RP Allen Miller was DFA'd.


Middleton Tigers are now our AAA. orginally every team was supposed to have a new AAA that is the closest team to their city but with the Universal Baseball League coming into existence in November of this year, they are grabbing up to 5 cities on Endor and that city will lose its AAA. So far Bezheen, Queen & Mudville have all joined the UBL. Ewok Village, Chewbacca, Broca Beach & Fullerton are all being considered.


I have 5 SP at AAA that can pitch in the EBL. The offense is great at AAA.


New Chicago Fire have a new look and have some depth but may not win their division.


Ackbar Admirals also have a new look at are made up of many veterans.

[The Game]

Here are the new Tigers


Player Spotlight
SP Jagad Caruajal R/R #18
Jag is exactly the type of SP I was looking for, especially when it turned out that we could not afford Joe Caine. He is a flame thrower, which breaks up our finesse pitchers of Hernandez, Medina, Nesta & Stupec. I could strikeout 300 if he gets 200-225 IP. Look more fore 160 - 175 IP.


SP Nicoli Nesta L/L #10
Nicoli had a great year last year and i am hoping he can improve on that this year with this offense. he will struggle at times but should be good overall.



CL Kyoji Toiguchi R/R #34
Hoping he still has several great seasons left in him. He is one of the most dominant Closers of the last 6 seasons.While 20 BB and 72 K is still great, i would love to see 10 BB and 100 K.



If/Of Arvid Sven'dsen R/R #6
Arvid can play 8 positions but he is a great 2b, SS, 3b. He will get some work in RF over Cottoneye would. He has more power than Joe, so in some instances he will start and he is a better SS over Joe & Anna.

[The Game]

Royals - Ron E. Phillips Uncle Phil is a good guy. I know he;d rather be in the Bronx but until he proves he can win with a lesser team he wont be going there.


Ravens - Rick Spiner (2033 MOTY) Dan Toner has expressed interest in managing and would like to manage in Anderson but until the Ravens suck or fire Spiner, that wont happen.


Brave - Sam Adair. Sam has a good chance at being competitive this season.


Sharks - Kinji Toyota. Same times its the teams fault they dont win, sometimes its the managers fault.


Falcons - Rafael Rodriguez (2032 MOTY) Raffy has a great team that can go deep into the playoffs.

[The Game]

Power - Alonso Silva. not a fan.


Thrantas - Jim Riggle (2029-31 MOTY) One of the best baseball minds in the EBL. He understands a pitching staff like few others.


Vipers - Marcel Croteau. Hopefully with Chevy's talented young players they start to do well here soon.


Corvettes - Jimmy Dugan. For all his success he has never won a MOTY award.


Giants - Wilbur Duggleby (2033 MOTY). It's rare for a manager to be almost as great as he was a player. Wilbur is though.

[The Game]

Parrots - Pat Parayno. I've given up hope on the Parrots winning the NL West anytime soon.


Tigers - Admiral Fox. (2023-25 MOTY) great guy.




Capitals - Ricky Zard. Big Z has a great offense this year that will give many teams fits.


Thunderbirds - John Baker (2028-29 MOTY) It looks like Ford's window is closing fast.


Cougars - Harley Hodge. Harley takes over as MGR. He has a potentially great offense and average rotation.

[The Game]

Batmen - Pedro Valdes. Pedro is in his 2nd year at the helm of Gotham City. He has a solid team.


Scots - Rob Pinson Sr. Rob was hoping to take over in Rocky Top but chose to leave to take the Highland gig.


Cheetahs - Jaime Perez. Perez is a long tenured MGR who has never had a great team.


Pirates - Jesse Duke. Uncle Jesse could will Madison into a contender on grit alone.


Razorbacks - John Coff (2027-28 MOTY) John has a tremendous offense. Pitching is weak.

[The Game]

Supermen - George Lattman (2015,2017,2019-22,2026 MOTY) George landed in a good place after a few disappointing seasons in Glenbard. He was brought in to take them over the top.


Dragons - Pedro Trujillo. He, alopng with his GM & Owner have made some bold, great moves the last few seasons.


Guns N' Roses - Jack Edwards (2032 MOTY) Good Mgr with an average team.


Firebirds - John Casey. Im a fan but his days are numbered before Dottie Hinson replaces him. Dottie could also replace Jimmy Dugan.


Rockies - Tom McCain He has the best offense in the NL and is in a great position to make the BoE.

[The Game]

Jedi Knights - Scudworth J. Cinnamon (2012-14 MOTY) To me the best MGR in EBL history. His team is in a great position to make the playoffs this year.


Isotopes - Dick Kronfield. Ow Monty Burns felt that Bert Calb couldn't get the job done and replaced him with my former BC/HC. I wish him the best.


Red Devils - Tona Wolcott. I had to ask Hector Delgado who this is. He thinks Tona will do well.


Bounty Hunters - Ryoma Ijichi. Hope he does well. i have no clue who he is.


Warriors - Lou Collins My biggest rival in the AL East. Proved to be an excellent adversary.

[The Game]

3 games vs Batmen


Home Opener for us.


The Batmen look like they could be good this year. They made a late push last season. Their top 3 SP are good, after that Ow & Ki****a are average at best. Really good pen with Cobblepot, Kyle, Yoshida & Kimura


Their offense is about the same as last year but adding Brian Moore, Segio Gonzalez & rookie Fook Bacon should help. Once Frazier & Leverato come back they should be better than today.
