The previous owner at Columbus has done a great job of transitioning to a young team while still maintaining a roster that competes for the playoffs every season. Over the last two seasons he drafted future stars like Infielders
Dickie Barr and
Jack O'Leary. He also began the rebuild of the pitching staff with the selections of
Norm Anderson,
Harry Malloy and
Nathan Ewing. You have the opportunity to build on this foundation while you compete for a pennant every season.
Your team will continue to win because of established vets like,
Octavio Martinez and younger studs like
Juan Sanchez .
Bill Clapp is the leader of the pitching staff. And
Valerio Gonzalez is one of the best closers in the NL. Finally, there are several players currently on the farm ready to contribute for you this season.
Jacob Matsuzaka and
Doug Yerkes should both be ready, allowing you to move some higher priced talent onto the Trade Block.
This is a franchise waiting for you to manage them to the World Series over the next two or three seasons. But you can't do that unless you join.
