2078 Moose Jaw Diamond Dogs Preview

[TheGobOne]

SUMMARY
Bet you guys thought I wouldn't do it again. Well here I am. We didn't win the ship but the team went to the LCS again and I'm ok with that.

It's a re-tooling year for the Dogs on the lineup card. The pitching is almost identical to last year and, once again, will be the anchor of the team.

Predicting 94-68 and lose in LCS....again.

NOTABLE LOSSES
2B - Bowman (Justsigned to Miami which is gross because he fits their ballpark even better than mine and will put up 6+ WAR there. Quote me.)
RP - Benitez (Signed with division rivals ANC which is gross but I couldn't afford him to pay him the $10M he wanted to stay. Omega underrated.)
C - Aguirre (Billy was right. Plantar fasciitis killed this dude. At least he got 1 ship with us. Money NOT well spent lol.)
OF - Clark (Never thought I would non-tender this guy a few years ago but the baseball gods said otherwise.)

NOTABLE ADDITIONS
SS - Todorovic (Struggled hard in his cup of coffee last year but that's extremely typical of MJ callups)
OF - Sims (He will either hit 50 dongs or 20. For sure he'll break 200 Ks easy. Just hope he isn't a trainwreck in the field.)
OF - Lee (Been trying to trade him for a bit but he's gonna get his shot. Been really good in the last 2 years in the minors.)

LINEUP
C - Blair
1B - F. Sanchez
2B - Munoz
SS - Todorovic
3B - Energizer Bunny
LF - Sims
CF - Russell
RF - Bray/Lee

PITCHING
SPs - Ruiz, Huang, Williams, Thomas, Garcia
RPs - Patterson, Colon, Wiley, Moore, McCoy, Padilla, B. Sanchez

A wild card team making it to the ALCS? I don't think so

[Graywolf357]

108 wins book it.

You did good not extending Bowman.

You did good not extending Bowman.

I might have if I could have gotten him for sub $10 but he woulda been trade bait. I am super happy with my middle infield of Munoz (who's a former SS so should be great defensively at 2B) and Todo.
