I had honestly planned on taking a longer break, but the lure of ending the most famous curse in the BBA was too strong.

Welcome back. As a new Heartland GM (and new BBA GM), I am still trying to process this. Based on what I am reading, I should be very afraid. Though based on where Aaron had his team at the end of the year, and my lack of GM ability, I was already afraid.

Losing Aaron is a blow, but getting Randy back is positive news. Welcome back Randy.

based on my history your pitching staff should be very very afraid. Your offense on the other hand, not so much.
