Brendon Carr
by the Bosphorus Wednesday afternoon, when it was we were informed they have signed two key starting pitchers. First up was [Brendon Carr, who signed a 2 year deal worth a total of $6,340,000.

Carr pitched the 2040 season in the New Jersey River Rats, the AAA affiliate of the Montreal Blazers. Carr was last in the UMEBA for the 2039 season with Jerusalem.

Both Lugo & Carr are expected to challenge Francis Wiles for the ace spot on the rotation. "As of now we expect them to be one, two, three on the rotation. I think that we have three great options to start the rotation. Add in the players that we had from last season and we are hoping to compete right out of the game this season" said GM Jeffrey Everroad. "Starting pitching was a weak spot last year and was a key area both owner Samuel Johnson and I wanted to focus on this offseason. We still have a offer out on a positional player that we think would make the fans extremely happy."

Thanks. Trying to spice it up a bit. This one still isn't super great but figured I'd give it a shot.

It'll be really fun to see how that pitcher from the AAA in the BBL does over here in his first season. I think you got a great deal.

PS:I second the great header!
