2020 Season Preview.
We are an expansion team but we are not predicted to play like one. I have 3 top notch starting pitchers. i have several top 10 hitting prospects. I have several veterans who have been on winning teams. I have extremely high expectations for this team. 90 wins. While we may be predicted to win 107 I still think we are the 3rd best team in our division. I think Atlanta has a better offense and slightly better D. Alderaan has a great pen solid starters decent offense and very good D.
Here is what i would like to see each player do:
1B Tom Falcone .265 20 HR 75 RBI 75 R
2B Brian Mack .290 28 HR 100 RBI 90 R 80 BB
3B Stan Pearl .280 31 HR 105 RBI 90 R 65 BB
SS Tim Overfelt .250 1 HR 35 RBI 60 R 20 SB
LF Galen Cisner .260 27 HR 85 RBI
CF Calvin Kline .291 10 HR 75 RBI 110 R 90 SB
RF Gimm Cummings .255 28 HR 90 RBI 80 R
DH Sean Berry .260 10 HR 45 RBI
C Jerome Hopkins .280 8 HR 40 RBI
C Scott Spear .275 7 HR 40 RBI
3B Toni Jones .280 5 HR 35 RBI

[The Game]

3 games @ Madison. Madison plays in Heights Park which is modeled after 3 Rivers with turf.
They should be about a .500 club but still have some talent. Most notably FA 1B Tommy Yu who has been a force for MLB & CBF teams. Calica who can still get it done and Dave Ricker who can be tough when on.
Proctor will pitch out of the pen in this series. He will be 1st to come in if someone is tired early.

[The Game]

Colorado Rockies sign OF Mike Taylor to a 1 yr deal.
White Sox sign C Jason Haggerty to a 4 yr deal. Not sure who this leaves out Hicks or Letin.

[The Game]

3 games vs Royals. Home opener. The Thunderdome is mostly ready. The hotel is not done, the roof is stuck open and we are missing 500 seats. We have plenty of beer, The field looks good. Thr Royals will be a great test of how good we might be. I have them finishing 2nd at around 95 wins. Some good veterans on this team. McDuffie Sr, M. Sieb, All, Johnson, Zucker.

[The Game]

Really bad this week. 1-5. Glenbard owned us. We should have won on the 15th. That is purely my fault. I brought Peter Trapp in cold after warming up in the 7th. He blew the save. Offense is struggling as I thought they might. Parker looks impressive so far as does Waters.
