The Game's EBL vs MLB 2012 & Beyond

[The Game]

Jedi Knights - Cinnamon has the most Wins for a MGR that has never won a title.


Isotopes - Dugan enters his 2nd season as the MGR of the rebuilding Isotopes.


Red Devils - Wolcott enters his 3rd season.


Bounty Hunters - Ijichi enters his 3rd season.


Warriors - Collins brings out the best in his players and finds ways to win.

[The Game]

We should be around as good as last season. Sure, losing Brett & tigger will hurt and it will take time to fully replace them but Russell defensively is great and Tarlac will be a solid ML Rf. Our pen is good but will be better when at least Nikolo comes back. Our rotation as as good if not better than last season.


Hoffman wins the starting job over Murphy, although he will see PT early on. Pele Apela wins the MR job over Mario Ramos & Jake Tomkins. Oddvar Duong makes the team over Rowan Goddard.

[The Game]

We only have 3 road games in April. We do play 6-7 teams that are predicted to be .500 or better though. We should take 2 of 3 vs ATS, 2 of 3 vs a banged up Warriors team, 2 of 3 vs PON, 2 of 3 @ EC, 2 of 3 vs CT, split vs CPT, split vs GC and 2 of 3 vs PAN. 15-9 is feasible.


We currently have no $$ for extensions so Young, Kornikova, Mathewson & Johnson will all go to arbitration.


Lurte & Thomason are our only FA. Doubtful either will return for 2037.


We have the 6th best minor leagues. Top prospect is Cf Tigris DEGaulle. He is slated to be OD CF 2037. SP Eddie Cicotte could be in the rotation as early as 2037.

[The Game]

2036 theme: Champion


We will wear 4 jerseys this year and 2 caps. We will wear home Gold every Sunday and road Tiger stripe every road Sunday. OD we will wear Tiger stripe.


OD roster + IL & players slated to see action.


RP Pelekinako "Pele" Apela R/R #2
Apela makes the OD roster despite the fact i had no plans for him to do so. He gives us a long relief option. FB, CB, SL, CH. 99-101 MPH at 6'11, that will be nice to see.


Cf Oddvar "Odd" Duong R/L #27
For now he will wear Brett's old # but I do plan on retiring #27 next year. Odd makes the team over veteran Goddard. He gives us solid defense in Cf & Lf. He can hit for AVG and has great speed. He does not have much power.


2b Bilal Eidsvag R/R #22
Bilal enters his 1st full season with us. He will hit in multiple spots in the order and will play all 3 OF spots at various times. He could steal 50 bases this year.


SU Rooster Evans R/R #74
Rooster is our best RP. He could end the season as the CL.


MR Wrigley Field L/L #14
As 1 of 2 LHP in my pen, he will be counted on to get RHB out, which he typically has struggled against. He has until Nikolo or Boskovic are healthy to prove himself.

[The Game]

C Rebecca Hoffman S/R #9
Hoff enters her 1st season as the staring C. Murph will see PT, especially early on but overall the rotation prefer her. For her t5o keep her job, she needs to not only be great on D but also hit .260 or better. She has some pop and can steal up to 25 bases.


DH/1b Majnun Humbert L/L #6
I am very happy with how Maj played for us last season. He will sit on occasion vs some LHP but for the most part i am not worried about him.


SP Walter Johnson R/R #45
Big Train needs to stay healthy this season. He could win the AL Screwball award again.


3b Kool Kat S/R #23
Kat will be in a Tigers jersey for at least another 7 seasons. He is an AL MVP candidate and a GG 3b.This team is being built around him.


Lf Anna Kournikova S/R #1
Anna had a good season last year but not a great season. i'd like to see her BB more along with stealing 100 bases. She will play some CF and a few games at SS.

[The Game]

CL Shusui "Shu" Korota R/R #17
Korota is ranked as the 28th best CL in the EBL. That is concerning but unless he is terrible, he will be my CL.


SP Bill Lurte L/L #33
Bill has been great for us since he came here. He is the lone LHP in the rotation and it might be his last here as Pele, Ramos, Morales, Henderson & Cicotte are all options for next season.


SP Christy Mathewson R/R #10
Christy won the EBL AL JWA (now Screwball Award) last season. He enters this season as my ace and is predicted to win awards again.


RP Vincente Morales R/R #51
Morales will pitch both MR & LR this season and could start if their are injuries to the rotation.


C Roland "Murph" Murphy R/R #47
Murph comes to us from Baltimore in the Cat Mox deal. i brought him in to provide more pop behind the plate. He is an avg defensive C. He could usurp Hoff for the starters job if she struggles.

[The Game]

SP Tristan Nokleby R/R #11
Tristan was solid as a rookie MR for me last season. it was PC Vic Darensburg that thought Tristan could be a great SP for us. Scout Craig Wilson says he has ace stuff.


MR Ricardo Ortiz R/R #7
Ortiz has good stuff but has been oft injured. Hopefully he stays healthy.


Sp Shohei Otani L/R #20
Otani was great for us last season and i look for him to get better. unfortunately he is not a good hitter.


Cf Gerald Russell S/R #5
Great D check, good speed: check. batting avg & OBP who knows. If Russell can hit .275 10 HR .335 OBP and 20 SB he could push Tigris DeGaulle back a season. If not, Odd, anna & Goddard will be my CF this season.


Lf Luis Salazar R/R #24
Luis will play Lf and some Rf along with occasional DH. He should be able to hit .280 8 HR 35 RBI. her has a great arm.

[The Game]

Rf Dragon Tarlac S/L #25
Dragon was our #1 prospect until this past draft but he is still our #1 ML ready prospect. 5 tool player. Should hit .275 or better 25 HR 80 RBI 25 SB and GG caliber eventually.


SU Larry Thomason S/L #46
We signed Larry late in ST after the other 3 RP went down. He is a veteran that can still bring heat and has played for several good teams and has had back to back sub 2 ERA seasons.

SS Rum Tum Tugger R/R #4
Rum is locked up thru 2044. He along with Kat and soon Tigris are the 3 players i want to build this team around. all 3 are from Delgado. Rum had a breakout season last year and established himself as a premier AL SS. He'll hit 6h most of the time but will see action hitting 2nd on occasion too.

2b/SS Duane Wise R/R #19
i acquired Wise & Salazar for Buffalo Club from Springfield (IBL). He has a great season last year and like Salazar should hit for high AVG with ok power and play GG caliber defense.

[The Game]

1b Mighty Joe Young R/R #72
Joe won the AL MVP last season. He is predicted to do the same this year. If i can, i would like to lock him up long term but we shall see. He makes us a great team with his bat. He has turned into a good defensive 1b. He can play the corner OF spots in need be but lacks range.


RP Farani Nikolo R/L #18
Nikolo pitched well for us in limited PT. I was hopeful that he would be our SU man with Evans this year and future CL. He probably will not be back til June 15th.


RP Nenad Boskovic L/L #15
Nen is a great LHP. His only issue has been staying healthy. This is now the 3rd season in a row where he has been injured. He should be back around May 1st but will go to AAA.


RP Gary Gerlach R/R #21
Gary is in the same boat as Nen. Great RP who can not stay healthy. He could be back as early as April 15th but will also go to AAA.


SS Mercedes Benz R/R #12
Mercedes will most likely be back with us eventually this season. She is a great defensive SS/2b who can also play 3b, Lf and some Cf. She has great speed but it is doubtful she is much more than a .220 hitter with no power. She struggled badly in ST.


Other players not listed that could see action with us this season are
SP/RP Mario Ramos
2b Nicky Shufflebotham
If Kia Sephia
3b Jose Zamora
Cf Suzanna MacMurdoch
2b April Duncan
Cf Rowan Goddard.

[The Game]

3 games vs Atlantis


The baby Sharks are growing up a bit. they are not a great team yet but they are better then last season. 1b Dan Lincoln has established himself as a solid 1b and SP Julia Roberts is a legit ace this year. Cf Reggie Simmons goes into his 1st full season as the Sharks Cf and should eventually be a #3 hitter. They still have the veteran Thorley brothers C Jamie & Sp Damon.



2036 Additions
3b Craig Trudel - a weak hitting good glove 3b.
SS Jose Montanez - a rookie SS who can hot for AVG, play solid D Also a P.

SP Urtilan Kunjufu - a journeyman P, who has never started a game in the majors.
