2031 Chi-caw-go Cu-hubs

[Providence A's]

Lineup vs RHP/LHP
1. 2B Delancey (10,8,6,10,7; 10,6,5 speed)
2. LF Tapley (6,10,4,9,6; 10,6,8 speed)
3. CF Paiva (9,7,8,7,6; 10,8,9 speed)
4. 1B Olivo (9,6,10,10,7; 6,7,7 speed)
5. RF Kelly (6,8,7,5,5; 8,5,4 speed)
6. 3B Cardenas (7,9,5,9,6)
7. C Depaz (6,10,7,4,4; 7,8,9 speed)
8. SS Coyle (6,9,8,2,8)
9. pitcher (varies)

I think we should score more runs than last year with the addition of Paiva and the returns of Tapley and Kelly (who were out for the season since mid-June when I took over). I really like 1 through 4. 5 through 8 not as much, but they're not terrible. I've got C Hikaru and 2B Furst beating on the door in AAA, too. I hope Furst can learn SS or 3B through me sticking him there forever until he does.

Pitching (CPU auto)
Starters
SP Shuford 10,5,9,10; 39 GBP; 91 - 94 MPH
SP Alvarez 10,9,6,7; 47 GBP; 91 - 94 MPH
SP Uppercut 5,8,10,9; 79 GBP; 84 - 87 MPH
SP Johansen 9,5,7,8; 68 GBP; 93 - 96 MPH

Well, Shuford, Alvarez, and Johansen won 44 games combined last year and lost 49. That's not very good. They did strikeout 898 batters combined...almost 300 a piece, which is pretty amazing. Too bad 2 of them had about 150 walks a piece. Uppercut won 21 games last season and lost 9. If he comes anywhere close to that I'll be happy.

CL Viveiros 8,7,9,2; 59 GBP; 88 - 91 MPH
MR Wyse 6,6,8,8; 64 GBP; 91 - 94 MPH
MR Milbourn 5,7,8,2; 63 GBP; 89 - 92 MPH
MR Bocanegra 5,5,7,4; 38 GBP; 86 - 89 MPH
MR Nickelson 8,5,6,10; 45 GBP; 93 - 96 MPH
MR Studley 7,5,7,4; 53 GBP; 86 - 89 MPH

We have a closer and a bunch of other bodies. Wyse will be in the rotation if there is an injury.


Prediction
We should get on-base a lot and steal quite a few bags. Hopefully, that will translate to some runs. The pitching should be improved, but I'm not expecting a drastic turnaround. I think we should finish .500. Maybe with a little "Porter-luck" we can finish above .500. Of course, with a little bad luck we'll be under .500.

This isnt TPSL.

Porter-luck is Porter-luck.

[Porter]

Be prepared to experience talent losses and a -10. or a young player like Furst will get crippled after the season. Trust me you dont want my luck.

[Slyder]

Nice start for the new ownership group.

We started during the last season (mid-June), but yes...off to a good start so far. It can only go downhill from here though
