What seemed like a very quiet off season for the Cougars seemed to have ended with a loud bang.
Before December was over, the Cougars made a move to replace Yogi Zimmer Diamond Glove winner Ares Papadias (who signed as a FA with Montreal) with 29 year old Peadar McIihome. This will be McIihome's 10th season in the BBA. While McIihome isnt going to light the world on fire with his career .274/.312/.377 slash line, Charlotte GM Golden is counting on his 33.4% of throwing out would-be base stealers and decent ability to help out the pitching staff. And with a 4 year, $7.5M contract, the last yaer of which is a team option, McIilhone should be able to find himself a nice home in Charlotte to settle himself into for a while.
December also saw the acquisition of an old friend of GM Golden from his Nashville days. SP Kidanu Cherono didnt turn too many heads when he signed with Charlotte but on a 1 year deal for $4.75M, he'll be around to eat some innings, pitching almost 200 innings last season in San Fernando. While Cherono's best seasons seem to be coming out of the bullpen, unless some of those younger guys down in Richmond move him to the Pen.
