Mumbai takes Arapeta Ebena #1

Metro Stars fans world wide sat nervously as fictitious Rob Manford made his way to the podium to announce the 7th over all pick in the 2046 draft. Not much has been said about what the new management would be seeking. Then Manford made his announcement,Arapeta Ebena. The 16 year old from American Samoan stands an imposing 6 foot 7 inches and often intimidated his high school competition as seen by his 11.4 k/9. Metro Stars assistant GM Alejandro Suarez had this to say about Ebena shortly after the selection "We like the pick. We feel like at 16 years young he has a lot of room to grow on his massive frame. Right now we feel he projects to be more of a relief pitcher once he reached Mumbai, but a lot can change over the course of this young man's development. We had him a bit higher on our draft board so we're excited that we were able to land him 1.7. We're going to continue to evaluate each player to make sure we select the best player available and continue to help this organization move forward as we look to the second round."

The selection of a player who management seems to feel will be a reliever at the big league level might not excite the fan base that much, but considering the lack of exciting talent in the draft this year the fan base has to be happy with the results of the first round.
