Preseason Wrap-Up
Moscow, Russia
Moscow was able to sign 1B Carlos Arroyo who spent the last couple of years in AAA where he was an All-Star selection in 2057. Carlos is 33 years old from Guaynabo, Puerto Rico. Carlos has great patience at the plate and exceptional leadership skills. Arroya has already been voted Team Captain of the Thunder Bears and looks to unite this rag tag group of players collected from all over the BBA universe.
The Thunder Bears also signed 6' 6" 200lb SP Jerry Bourque (no relation to Boston Bruins legendary defenseman Ray Bourque) to a one year deal worth upwards of $6 million which equals roughly 547,740,000 Rubles. That's a lot of Rubles!
Bourque will now front the rotation for Moscow, relying on a four-pitch arsenal that includes a solid Curveball, Changeup, Sinker, and Circle Change.
The preseason is winding down and Moscow has some tough roster decisions to make. Several players have already been waived or sent to the AAA Bloemfontein Cats.
In other news, The Thunder Bears released former Rule 5 draft pick CF Juan Munoz, who returns to his original team, the Sao Paulo Pilots.
Only two roster cuts left to make before the regular season begins. Manager Brencis Dashevsky has some tough decisions to make before finalizing the Opening Day roster, but the Preliminary Starting Lineup for the Moscow Thunder Bears will be:
1B - Carlos Arroyo
2B - Wilson Rosa
SS - Juan Feliz
3B - Ryobe Watanabe
LF - Ramao Saturnino
CF - Yoshitoki Goto
RF - Edward Lake
C - Johan Jorgensson
DH - Maximilian Nielson
SP1 - Jerry Bourque
SP2 - Kelyn Lomond
SP3 - Ricardo Quadrado
SP4 - Tye Whitford
SP5 - Yoshimi Sato
Get ready for the Thunder!
