2045:02 A Stake to Me Heart: Introducing Impaler starting lineup

Post by allenciox » Mon Nov 30, 2020 8:39 pm

So, we win UMEBA last year, Maybe make it two years in a row? Here is Impaler starting lineup this season (when you see slash between two people, the first one bats against RHP and second one against Southpaws):


C: Abdel Osagboro / Hotha Popo
Osagboro pick up in expansion draft from Kuwait City year before last, and split time between Luanda and Bucharest last season... He good defense, not so good offense. Popo, on other hand, works every count and led UMEBA in walks last season.

1B: Jay Gamble returns after 2.2 WAR season last year (.292 BA, .800 OPS). He also was MVP of first round playoffs last season.

2B: Jeremy Owbridge moved to full-time 2B after playing SSvR in rookie season last year. After practicing a bit at 2B, should be awesome defense there. He also have 2 WAR season last year (.269 BA, .800 OPS).

3B: Vincente Archuleta now move to full-time 3B this season. He good hitter (.837 OPS last season), but only average fielder (pretty good arm, though). Last season, he play mostly DH, but he insist he can handle 3B this season. We try it out.

SS: Rakim Stevenson top-of-league defense at SS but not take full advantage in 2044 as he only play vL. He hit good too, with .294 BA and .755 OPS (2.1 WAR overall in only 71 GS last season) --- This season he move to full-time SS.

LF: Mitch Dalrymple / Carlos Camacho platoon. What Mitch Dalrymple do last season? Why... only have league-best BA (.358), OBP (.399), SLG (.603), and OPS (1.002) with 5.0 WAR, and win United Cup MVP award. Yes, only that. This year, we move Camacho to play LFvL instead of 2BvL he play last season (since Owbridge move to 2B).

CF: Rafael Mullet /
Julio Soriano platoon, same as last season. 21-yo Mullet was all-star in rookie season last year. Not only is he best fielding CF in UMEBA, but also have .842 OPS and 3.7 WAR too. What about Soriano? Well, he get .898 OPS (.353 BA) and 1.6 WAR in just 46 games last season. I think that pretty good! I think any other team in UMEBA would have mouth water to get either of these CF in lineup --- we get both of them.

RF: Fernando Archuleta / Ricardo Esparza platoon.
We pick up Fernando as FA ($2.8m/yr for 3 years) in offseason. He play for three different BBA teams over last two seasons, with limited success. This year he move to greener pastures with us. He good hitter against righties, but he need to stay away from lefties, he horrible against them! But both he and Esparza are lights out on defense.

DH: Mahdi Kojo was another free agent pickup this season ($2.1m/yr for 3 years). He also play for three different BBA teams over last three seasons. He can hit ball a mile and also gets a lot of line drive singles and doubles, but he runs slower than my grandson (who is just 2 years old!).

Summary: We easily have best defense in all of UMEBA this season, and should have one of best offenses. I expect fantastic things out of this lineup.

Your team would be better with more Archuletas.

Unfortunately, they were twins, not triplets, sorry! (actually, they were born same year, not same day, but I pretend they are twins).
