Name: Ted Benson
Nickname: "Long Ball"
Bats: R
Throws: R
Hometown: Brooklyn, NY
Position: LF
Ethnicity: Caucasian
1 Elite Talent: HR Power
1 Good Talent: Contact
1 Weakness: Avoid K's
One Personality Trait: Strong Work Ethic

Long Ball comes by his nickname honestly: he hits the ball a ton. He connects reasonably well, but when he makes an out it's often a K. His high school coaches tend to forgive him that weakness, though, as they watch one of his towering shots disappear into the teachers' parking lot behind the left field wall and rebound off the mini-vans.

Name: Julius Lewis
Nickname: "Jitterbug"
Bats: S
Throws: R
Hometown: Downers Grove, IL
Position: SS
Ethnicity: African-American
1 Elite Talent: Stealing bases
1 Good Talent: Eye
1 Weakness: HR Power
One Personality Trait: High intelligence

Jitterbug got his nickname from his constant movement on the diamond: whether it's his fingers moving on the bat, his dancing off the base as he takes a lead, or his constantly shuffling feet at short, Lewis puts actual jitterbugs to shame. He idolizes Mons Raider and aspires to strike fear into opposing pitchers and catchers on the basepaths the way the Edmonton speedster does.

Name: Bobby Baird
Nickname: "Suitcase"
Bats: L
Throws: L
Hometown: Galesburg, IL
Position: SP
Ethnicity: Caucasian
1 Elite Talent: Movement
1 Good Talent: Stuff
1 Weakness: Control
One Personality Trait: Strong Work Ethic

Suitcase Baird got his nickname from teammates who said his methodical trudge from dugout to mound made it seem like he was lugging heavy suitcases to and from. Coaches love the downward spin Baird puts on the ball, but worry that he overdoes it sometimes, which leads to him missing low, falling behind in the count, and walking more batters than he should. Still, he consistently keeps the ball in the park, and more than a few batters end up trudging back to their dugouts looking like they've got weighty luggage on their hands.

Heads up to the new guys...these amateurs are in high school. I know we have fun with the fictional world but having prospects serve five years in prison or running oil companies feels a little fast and loose.

Ryan Geauxinue has got "The Face." Probably the best looking prospect in decades, he's also highly intelligent and a hit with the ladies. Geauxinue's only weakness is gap power, mostly because he never settles for second base, regardless of where he's playing.

Hollywood learned to throw the SCREWBALL from his Dad and hopes that this pitch will be his ticket to the BBA. Few pitchers can throw this pitch effectively and while he doesn’t throw very hard, his pitch does move. His #1 goal is to win more games than his Dad did.

Kinsella grew up a huge fan of the Chicago Black Sox and always argued they got a raw deal. Some teammates think he is a little odd and have heard him talking to people that aren’t there. Like he hears voices or something.

Often overlooked, Moore does nothing but throw hard and get guys out. He graduated college with a law degree and plans to practice after his career, but feels the need to play ball as long as he can. Called Prickly Pear because he's willing to call even teammates out when they don't play the game right. Some call that leadership, others say he's outspoken. You make your own danged assessment.
